StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void introducing new units, multiplayer game modes

  • Legacy of the Void has been confirmed as a stand-alone expansion to the StarCraft II series. Continuing the story, but you don't need the previous games to play it (Wings of Liberty/Heart of the Swarm)
  • Legacy of the Void features 2 new units for each race (1 for Protoss):
  • Zerg gets old Brood War units: Lurker and Flying Locusts
  • Terran gets HERC (Has a hook that can grapple onto units + splash-damage) and CYCLONE (mobile and can move while shooting with massive range)
  • Protoss gets Disruptor with David Kim stating they make one more unit for Protoss (moving land mine that explodes after 4 seconds)


For those who are active in the game, the game is getting overhauled with major balance changes:

  • Terran's Banshees have longer range and come with cloak, but they move slower without an upgrade
  • Zerg's Infestors changed again without Neural Parasite ability nad got an AOE Buff that gives friendly units +5ATK
  • HOTS feature for Protoss: The Nexus Cannon, can only shoot ground units
  • Terran's Siege Tanks can now be picked up by Medivacs in Siege Mode
  • Terran's Battle Cruisers have the warp ability (can go anywhere you have vision)
  • Zerg's Corruptors can channel damage like Protoss' Void Ray
  • Protoss' signature ability: Warp Gate, got nerfed: takes 8 seconds to warp-in and units warping in take 200% damage
  • 12 workers per base at the start
  • Bases have initially less resources, less supply per base
  • Takes only 16 to saturate the base, maximum 900 minerals per base, 6 bases by 15 minutes
 
Key take-aways: Zerg still aren't allowed to play, Protoss remain imba, playing Terran is still an easy road to victory if you're up against people who can't micro.

This just made my day and weekend! :)

The changes look both exciting and scary all at the same time. Multiplayer is going to be awkward all over again!

Multiplayer is always awkward for me, time to start playing again to get ready for this. I don't see any release date?
 
Much excite... I really enjoy the SP of this game. Just finished HotS "about a week ago". My body is ready for the finale with Amon.
Multiplayer I always suck at... I stay in bronze leagues lol.

Thats why the ECWS final is zerg vs terran :p
 
When playing the single player part of SC2 its fun and easy but going to the ranked multiplayer part dose need alot of practice. But if anyone wants to jam some games of SC2 give me a shot im keen to play with more people.
