Terran gained Hellbats and Widow Mines, but neither of those really change the core of Terran's gameplay, namely a Marine and/or Marauder based foundation (most of the time). Same goes with Protoss, having gained the Oracle and Tempest, which are basically just support for the Protoss death ball. Granted, all three races will see a change in gameplay, but I think Zerg's will be more profound and noticeable than the other two, with a dramatic shift in focus from Mutalisks to Swarm Hosts in midgame.

Of course, this is all speculation until we start seeing real results wink.gif

They are basically adding tons of REALLY strong abilities to each race.

Oracles are very strong in Protoss against Zerg.
Spider mines (or w.e theyre called) are EXTREMELY strong against protoss (160dmg = 1 stalker and they target air too = gg observer)
Zerg, well, ALL STRONK THE UNITS! tongue.gif


Will be interesting to see how it all balances out. Still gonna be playing Protoss/Zerg as my mains
