I still can't be offensive with him, but 3 reavers + cannons = unlimited dead hydras

As for the SC2 unit - people still play SC2?

Or simply someone older than 12... :/

So far, you have responded to counter-claims to your argument by (1): asking if someone is partially blind, and (2): implying that everyone who disagrees with you is under 12 years old. Clearly, you are the intelligent, mature person in this discussion.

They should just combine the two. Give the Colossus a Scarab like attack. Win/Win.

I find this poll biased towards the Collosus.

Peabody, I'm not saying anyone who disagrees with me is under 12, only those who reason in terms of loving "giant alien robots of mega death". You seem to be the type that looooves superweapons that Browder is so heavy handedly bringing from C&C into Starcraft... And we all know how much better C&C is compared to SC. But it's ok because you get "giant alien whatevers of mega death". Yeah, that's a level of dorkitude I grew out of before my twenties.

I also called someone partially blind because if you appreciate the walking animation of the colossus, as well as its animation for going up and down cliffs, it is A FACT: you are partially blind.

You're calling me a nostalgic? Remove the Thor also. Not because it's taking something else's place, but just because it looks fugly. Replace with whatever you want, I'm not nostalgic, I just don't like things that look and play like shit.

You're being nice. Everytime I see one of those things going up and down cliffs I feel like I'm back to 2d graphics because it looks so wrong.

I'm Terran and everytime I see that thing walking up my cliff I shit my pants. -_-

Yes the initial statements are biased and I made it pretty obvious that I don't like the Colossus. It's not a secret. I'm not even trying to be fair. Now if someone has actual good arguments for why the Colossus is better than the Reaver, other than the fact that any noob can a-move with it and therefore it is more used, I'm all ears.

Sometimes I think blizzard is purposely leaving out these iconic units (lurkers, reavers) so that they can just add them in the expansion.

Ugh, this is a lousy thread. It's just the OP presenting all his opinions as fact, and wanking over nostalgia and tripods. I don't know why internetwarrior is asking for arguments since he's already decided on his opinion.

I mean I like the Reaver better, but I think the Colossus is cool too.

At the very least I don't see a reason to remove them to replace them with units that are much less interesting / original. Such as the Roach or the Colossus.

But hey I guess the community really wants their giant alien robots of mega death. They will get the game they deserve.

Wow this is a terrible OP...doubt any argument we give you for the Colossus would be heard on open ears. In either case, I want a new game, and as much as I loved using reavers in SC1, its time we accept this is SC2 and that means new units and abilities. I think the Colossus is a great new unit, it has it uses and it can be a terrible choice in other situations.

But like I said, and others before me, this is a super biased OP, not fit for any real practical discussion at all.

I'm actually saying the Colossus animation looks terrible, but if you want to interpret that as me wanting to go back to 256 colors, you are free to do that also.

Gilaboy: do you have any arguments other than "this is new" or the excellent "I like giant alien robots of mega death".

New != better, last I checked.

@OP

Welcome to TeamLiquid. I can see you are going to last a long time here.

I think the Collossus is a pretty nice unit, actually.

It was a joke; that is, a humorous statement meant to liven up a post. It wasn't the bulk of my argument.

Also, liking how a tripod looks does not imply anything at all concerning gameplay-related "superweapons", which the Colossus most definitely is not an example of, and which obviously wouldn't fit in with SC gameplay. The reference to C&C is irrelevant.

Also, please look up the term "ad hominem," and stop using it. That should make this discussion a lot more actual-discussion-like.

Yes the initial statements are biased and I made it pretty obvious that I don't like the Colossus. It's not a secret. I'm not even trying to be fair.

Well, I made some in my first two posts in this thread. You can go back and read them if you want.
