Just a random thought for a custom map I had. I was missing scourge from Starcraft:BW and then realized there are no melee air units in HOTS.

Imagine now for a moment that you have a zerg-like creature that is heavily armored, it can fly and it has some scary looking claws.

It flies towards a Battlecruiser. Locks its claws to it and starts tearing it apart. Only his allies can shoot at it and the Battlecruiser can't shake it off.

It might not be as fast as a phoenix but if the phoenix isn't careful and gets too close it locks his claws to the phoenix and the phoenix can't shake it off on his own.

You better micro your vikings like a mad man to pick off as many of those rippers before they close the distance and start tearing the vikings apart. Some pilots might even make the decision to land the viking to get rid of that threat above.

Haha, you just copy pasted your locked "suggestion for a new unit" thread into the custom map thread and put a "I had an idea for a new unit" in front of it.

Also, same comment as before:
Don't steal Dustin Browders ideas and then put them into his game as your own.

Come on dude, without any theorycrafting at all threads like these are just useless.
Seriously, if you want to propose a new unit you have to make your thread really fucking good or post it on the battle.net forums.
AdministratorLaws change depending on who's making them, but justice is justice
