    That's what I was thinking.. but, you said it better.

    And I agree. I won't be using it, I mean... how useful will it be? It can cloak... itself apparently, it better take down a Thor in like 2 seconds.

    Did someone say that this is the final mothership? I'm not too pleased either. It should have remained big-ass superunit.

    I liked the 1 super unit for protoss only idea very much, it helped making the races more different.
    They should just have nerfed the time bomb and blackhole and it would have been fine.

    Timebomb can be easily tweaked by changing it's duration.
    Blackhole can easily be tweaked by adding a maximum unit consumption, after that amount it consumed too much matter and closes, and leftover ships in range survive.

    yeah, im not very pleased either, but is the price of the mothership still the same? 400/400 doesnt seem very fitting anymore
     
  5. They should give the mothership the tempests antiground shield to make it even better at fighting ground units, seeing as it doesnt have an air attack

    I am extremely disappointed on what they did to the Mothership.
    Seriously, it was such a good concept and really suitable for the Protoss. Now, they are making it like some kind of soaped up Arbiter with attacks. Their role now sounds too similiar to the Carriers that I think it might even overlap.

    Not to mention, from the looks of it, it seems too similiar to the Thors also in that they are all late game and expensive units. Blizzard should just make the Protoss unique and make them a superunit. It really suits the theme of the Protoss.

    ya same disspointed with the mothership can mass it and aim the worth for the 400/400 when a fleet of AA can just bring u down still think the concept of a ulitmate unit for the mothership still favour for me and the cloaking skill is pointless for the mothership it should be giving to Star Relic or Stasis Orb when they finalise

    Wow I totally hate what they are doing right now.. the protoss just got a flying thor..

    whats the point?

    Maybe once blizzard hear that everyone want the super unit back, they will change it back to their old concept, maybe with some balancing.

    The worst news. I like the idea to have one super unit.
    As multiple motherships can be put to the battlefield together, with carriers and warprays, I feel the protoss airforce is stronger than balanced.

    ok i always thought the time bomb was imba and heres why

    its real easy for a ms to just go the the entrance of a base with an fleet of warp rays or carriers and use time bomb. If the time bombs works like i think it does meaning that any attacks entering it become slow and all attack exiting it are not affected then u could put ur fleet inside and blow up and entire base with just that. Not much of strategy there

    it doesnt have that kind of range. and since mutas are the only air we saw that stack, i really doubt you could get a whole army in it. and it didnt last long.

    im working in the theory that air stack in still in for all races. Also the TB lasted long enough to take down thoughs turrent with no help. Imagine wut a warp rays can do in that short period of time.

    Hopefully if everyone keeps complaining about it they will change it back with minor tweaks and not something as big as this

    There's the key. Warp Rays can't do jack crap in a short period of time. Their dmg starts out low and rises exponentially. They need to be shooting at something for a good time to do any real damage.

    The real strategy with them (Against Zerg, cause that's who the 'toss are geared against) is to TB mutas and rip them to shreds with Phoeni.
