Overload is wild!

I am pretty sure that the mechanics of phoenix Overload will be changed drastically by the time the game goes gold.

Why do you think?

Interesting, I wouldn't be surprised if they added a new race by the time the game is released. And we can be sure that new races will definitely be implemented whenever they decide to make an SC2 expansion. What kind of race(s)? Who knows... However, some cool looking aliens would be awesome, or perhaps some really futuristic humans.

Race probably not. But I guess they are considering adding some Mercenaries/neutrals to the game.

They already have humans... futuristic humans wouldn't make sense. It would have to be another alien race...

I feel the overload ability is too powerful.

Yeah, Overload will probably change drasticially in the final implementation.

My guess - it will be ultra-short-range, making the player fly the phoenix into the flying units in order to cause damage

I think that the overload ability will also be changed, right now it seems way too powerful.

i disagree on the fact its overpowered.. i think its just right but i do agree that you should shorten the range... though i dont want it so short that you cant even hit them from a little distance away... i mean at the range they have it... the only real unit atleast so far in the terran firepower would be the battlecruiser using yomata gun... so i agree on decreasing the range of the attack
