I'm no pro or game designer, but I'm hoping/expecting to see some HT/DT fusion that would create something else then Archon. Like a hybrid archon. If the unit was actually good, wouldn't it increase the usage of HT and DT instead of always going collosi? I personally really like this idea, of having a Archon, a Dark Archon and a Hybrid Archon or whatever you want to call it. Blizzard! take this idea please! (here comes the flaming)

No new units??? That's sad. Just out the top of my head stuff that could work:

Zerg:
- Lurker (fan favorite)
- Any sort of ground siege/long range unit: think of a Baneling Launcher...
- Air Spellcaster (like the old Queen with some extra utility in there)
- Scourge can still work

Protoss
- Arbiter: oh and scrap the Mothershit please. (Vortex is overpowered and ridiculous and Mass recall doesnt fit on such a slow unit)

Terran:
- Something for better map presence

I don't know if anyone knows this, but when the expansion comes out will there be two separate ladders? Will you have to choose which version of starcraft you want and have a reset achievement score? I know achievements don't matter to most people but it will make me really sad if all my AI achievements that I grinded for hours to get are irrelevant in the new expansion.

We're getting a 4th race! even if only for campaign purposes.

Im glad. I hope they add new units that are needed or bring something positive to the game and not add units for the sake of adding units in expansions.

I hope blizzard is very careful about how they add units. For one, I agree that the game would be just too "bloated" by adding 6 more units to the game (3 races per expansion).

I hope they do something like remove units that don't add to interesting gameplay (i.e. remove reaper, remove warp prism, remove curruptor) and replace them with more interesting units. Of course they would have to do this very carefully as to not destroy the game's balance

He said "we're looking into different solutions". Maybe they will add other stuff, new mechanics for example. Could be.

I found the comments regarding bringing back the WC3 daily tournament-style events interesting. That was one of the best things about BNet 1.0 for my friends and me.

Removing warp prism is insanity.

You can, with a straight face, tell me that those changes wouldn't break the game?

Considering his blatent miss-quote in the OP, im guessing he is a troll. But if he isn't, the roach could heal just as fast above ground in the alpha/early beta and it was clearly broken (if i recall).

Moon did not play orc... and besides i doubt blizzard would want to destroy their game with heroes.

Reminds me of broodwar, few fixes came from upgrades, not units. Goliath boosters, ultra speed+armor come to mind. Sure corsairs/valks/medics are what stopped mutas, but these upgrades filled other holes in the balance.
