Some more stuff:


Mass recall on Nexus in HOTS!!!!!

Burrow charge ability for Ultralisk.

Corrupters now have a channeled ability against building that gives one mineral a second and does 1dps.

Burrowed banelings can MOVE. Possibly an upgrade!

Carriers Are Gone!

No more Overseer.

Hydra speed increased.

New infestation pit unit like a lurker, but spawns two high-dps units every 15 seconds or so while burrowed.

Viper will permanently grant detection for energy. Lair tech. Grant detection is the cheapest spell.

Swarm lord spits out broodling-looking things that have 16 attack damage and .87 attack speed.

New Nexus Spell Picture Added!

Mothership Gone to!

Looking at some of the youtube video's of the new units.

The Protoss one's for me just dont fit the game, a unit that can replicate into your enemy's units.....lame if you ask me.

Some abusive unit that can stop mining and look and see what tech path's your taking it just feels out of place completely.

The Tempest is just a boring bog standard anti-air unit

Terran - Battle Hellions and Warhound seem okay, The shredder seems to me like its just a pointless unit thats going just make getting into a turtling Terran base 10 times harder.

Zerg - I am a little biased but it sounds good so far, the Viper and Swarm host at least fit in with what Zerg lacks at the moment. Burrowed banes are apparently hive tech, so its not really a huge issue as the meta game will obviously shift that you need to have detection at 10+ mins or w/e. Burrow charge for Ultra's looks bad ass!

Burrowed Banelings can move?!

No-one is safe!

Edit: Carriers gone? Can't say I ever use them, but they're an iconic Protoss unit :/
