I said warhound, but overall I like all the new mech that was added. It looks like they are really making solid mech more viable against all the races with these additions.

Warhound. I just like it's overall look and much needed role for mech.

shredder looks like it will be amazing for defence. does it ever stop attacking when it is alone?
Good bye CrazyGitar, I will miss you

And with this, it all turns to dust and bones and relics of a bygone era. we are now the few who survive, but do not thrive.

My vote is to the 'War Hellion' because I think they're borderline OP

the stockiness of maruaders, but with splash to light? Awesome.

I just had a game against someone going chargelot/archon, and blue flame hellions with thors were enough. Now I can add War Hellions with tanks to take care of zealots AND stalkers. theoretically, mech should be insane vs toss.

Shredders are a fantastic addition to the terran ****nal, they gave what terrans are generally lacking, which is lategame board control.

Loving the tempest simply because watching it and 3 of its buddies melting about 30 mutas was freaking awesome. Close second would be the oracle, because I can see it integrating with all the current air units for raiding, it helps harass in new and unique ways, and I am excited to use them.

Despite my favorite race being Protoss, I'm going to have to say the Battle Hellion being my favorite new unit.

Voted for the Oracle.. Not sure why yet though.. I mean we all know that the Viper's much more useful in multiple situations overall..

BUT - I like those kinds of "backdoor" units that are meant to be alone to do their job.. Guess I really like the idea of using a spell to stop "dumb" losses..

I mean like - use them to spy on opponent's upgrades at Tech-Labs (Stim, Combat, or Concussive, or w/e if any more), Roach-Warren (Speed-Roaches or Tuneling) or Starports (Vikings, Ravens or Medivacs trained).. I mean - just imagine if you play a Game vs Protoss and you had the Oracle to tell you whether the opponent's researching Blink or Charge..

That's exactly what it can do, right..?

Really would help you to prepare on time to not lose to a dumb losses due to not knowing what was upgraded/trained at a building.. Plus - it can harass (or be somewhat annoying pretty effectively at least), and yet the final spell that allows it to teleport a building (cough**** Photon Cannon ****cough) around..

Don't know the stats/bounds of the unit and it's spells, but the concept of all the spells seems pretty useful IMO..

As much as I like terrans the most, I have to go with the tempest. The video of 3 of those guys destroying those mutas was awesomesauce!

Viper of course. I love the zerg. It's no bsession, but I do completely admire it. The Swarm Host is pretty cool, but due to unit placement reasons, I chose the viper. Spies are so cool.
