ok, i just thought of this few days ago when i heard about HoTS.

The reaper, get it? REAPER! They giving it regen after battle like Protoss shield.

So why dont you just make it a Protoss unit?

Current state of Reaper in WoL: TvZ/P: useless map control early game, not really significant usage.
TvT: counter early hellions which ultimately make bio > mech.

Clearly removing Reaper from Terran army wont have any major impact in TvP and TvZ mean while it will increase mech usage in TvT a lot.

So how do we give it to protoss with out breaking any matchup?
Suggestion:
Came from gateway(non-wrap only)
requires cybercore
stat could be modified.

Explanation:
Well early game extra scouting information is great for both PvP and PvT. The stat could be modified for PvZ so it wont force roaches too much. Forcing this unit to be produced from a gateway but wrap gate will give an interesting usage in changing wrapgate into gateway :D.
The only problem with this is that its too easy to gain highground vision to wrap in as Protoss: HoTS u cant wrap in to high ground -> fixed :D

Protoss already have map control with observers(PvT/2 gate robo expand ftw,PvP 3 gate robo).More scouting information for protoss?hell no.
Feel like fitting better for zerg in HotS,since overlords slow as hell.Infested Reaper?!?!

I think the reason they don't give it to the protoss is because its not a protoss unit.

They have better units with better purposes that are way better than the reaper. Observer, the asldjflsdjfaslfasdjfasldj oracle that is annoying and faster than the reaper.

I think of that change less as more scouting info and more that, if you give it more protoss-like stats (just slightly slower but more powerful), it would be the dedicated harass unit that all P players have been crying for.

If you seriously want harass, can't you just get a warp prism, load up with 4 zealots, warp in X amount more like in a non-vision area, and then harass?

No don't like idea. Obs already is amazing (cloak + detection). You just give toss more vision.
