What's funny is, you're 100% correct, though step #2 is usually unintentional.

The SC2 team seems to have a fetish for breaking the RTS mold and every time they do, it's disastrous. There are tons of examples from Reapers in the early days (jumping up cliffs removes defenders advantage), Warp Gate (also removes defenders advantage), to this new tank dropping bullshit (guess what it removes!).

They seem to think that a unit is 'cool' and 'interesting' when it breaks unit design conventions and they don't seem to spend much time thinking about why the conventions are there or what a decent player might do with the unit. The initial Cyclone being a great example. Any idiot who looked at it on paper would know how broken it was (very fast + high damage long range moving shot).
