Since the beta, I've seen a lot of complaints from players that just seem to fundamentally dislike a certain unit. This can be for a variety of reasons - they think the unit is too powerful, or not fun to play with, or just creates boring/linear games and battles.

We all have our own pet unit that we love to hate, that we wish would just go away and be replaced with something newer and cooler. For a lot of people, this would be the "a-move units" (roach, marauder, colossus, etc.) For myself, as a Zerg player, I can't stand the Infestor because I think its skills aren't interesting enough for the primary Zerg caster. It's less fun to use Fungal Growth than a skill like Psionic Storm, which places big micro demands on both players.

This isn't meant to be a suggestion to Blizzard specifically, but rather an examination of how people feel about the units in SC2. We're still early in the life cycle of SC2, so a lot of these changes could still come to pass, as Blizzard has stated they're willing to outright cut a unit from an expansion if it isn't playing well. However, please provide reasons for why you want this unit removed.

Also, please don't turn this into a balance whine thread! Disliking a unit because of game design is just as valid as because of reasons of balance.

If I have to choose, definately Colossus, although I feel a major movement speed nerf + some buff would make them more unique

Colossus, Marauder & Roach
Marine is Terran strongest unit but it might be Terran's biggest weakness. Bcos of Marine so OP, other Terran unit regrettably have to be weak..

colossus because its too powerful for the amount of micro it requires. Too mobile for a siege unit.

I wouldn't mind them removing the colossus as long as they buffed something else protoss. for example it's a lot more fun/ multitasking-dependent to pay a zealot archon HT style in PvT compared to a colossus style as it's not so much about being in a "deathball". Colossus heavy games in any matchup tend to lean towards just one large engagement in a game as they're such a large investment, which is really not a fun way to play.

Carrier - would much rather have the tempest with splash to deal with late game mass corr/BL instead of praying for money vortex

I'm not sure I really understand all the colossus hate. Can someone try and explain how it is more generic than the rest of the units in the game?

The way I see it - it has the unique cliffwalking mechanism and no other unit in the game has that. Doesn't that bring some variety? Doesn't the whole colossus-forces-anti air counters like vikings/corruptors meta game add a little depth to the strategy in the match up? How is this less generic than the marauder or roach?

I'm surprised, with all the hate that corruptors and ultralisks get for being utterly useless, that Colossus are winning this poll so convincingly.
