    I personally think that the Protoss will do fine EVEN without lockdown

    its part of Star Craft

    Lockdown is anti-protoss

    I'd exchange lockdown for snipe any day. Lockdown is useful against mechanical units, which are usually greater threats than biological units. You could do the same thing snipe does with a group of marines, but only the ghost could lockdown.

    Yeah, me too. But now people will spam lock downs because there is smart casting now, although pros could already do it if they really tried.

    So does this mean the ghosts skills are now cloak, snipe and drop/nuke???
    I hate being sentimental but im gonna miss ol' times using lockdown especially when it comes to campaign mode... thats where the skill really shines ^_^

    anyway i think if lockdown was still present it doesnt add much impact locking down few mechs when u can only cast lock on so few with the worth of energy it costs.. unless ghosts will prioritize on locking down the mothership LOL thats gonna turn into one major motherfood for the terrans!!
    but reality check lockdown got d axe

    Even if they were to have lockdown I doubt it would make them overpowered against protoss because Blizzard was able to balance it out before in the first Starcraft.

    Seeing as they're not a real superunit anymore, yes, they should be harmed by lockdown, if it was back.

    I for one am glad they crapped lockdown because it (like mealstorm) always seemed either to weak or to powerful and of course im glad my carrier wont frozen and taking damage anymore. Also the Mothership even as a super unit should be affected by lockdown (if it was in the game) because if it wasnt it would be really reminecsent of WC3 heros and everything needs a weakness.

    I don't think snipe will be that big of a threat against the Protoss, since most units are mechanical.
