I do not love the sphere unit design... sphere attacks are fine. But yeah, too many spheres in general has always been not preferred to me.
Well I don't necessarily dislike all the new stuff, except maybe the way the disruptor works just doesn't make sense for how it looks. Well OK, the reaver in BW looked 100 times cooler, I can't lie. But at least the colossus looks awesome. I do miss the old looks and audio, no doubt, but I can handle most of the new. Phoenix and Tempest are cool. Sentries were awesome before the put on the bubble in the old beta. I guess it was called the Nullifier back then, I had forgotten that:

Except the one glaring thing that makes me crazy. Protoss colors look really bad with the green and red that you have in 1v1 ladder. The blue is fine, but I hate dealing with 1 out of 3 good looking colors. Terran on the other hand look great in red, good in blue, and OK in green. Zerg sort of suffers from red and green looking crazily bad on ladder, too.

I agree on the sphere thing, Protoss has to many units that look kind of similar/bigger versions of each other. Disruptor, Sentry, Oracle and MSC are more or less the same unit designwise, it's some ball in the middle with some spiky plates covering a bit of the ball.
I think they could have used some more spiky elements for toss and maybe some more geometrical forms. Some tubes or stuff like that. To many P-Orbs flying around.
I also agree on the sissy protoss, but that's a decision they wanted to push through bc of their (bw) story. I'm not sold, but it does make sense.
I think some of you guys see bw a bit to much through the rose colored glasses. The old zerg queen always was a colored blob for me and i had no idea what exactly that even was supposed to be. The reaver is a freaking golden spitting slug, it looks terrible.
I dont think the tempest looks that bad, nor that the insectoid style has done much damage to zerg. I dont like the roach, but that's the only unit i really dont like in terms of unit and race design for Zerg and I mainly dont like it because it doesnt fit the swarm style as a tanky high supply unit that you can mass. That's like playing tyranids and play genestealer only.
I really dont like the super polished Terrans, but that's a different story.
Overall though I think that Blizzard did a really good job with Sc2's unit design. Someone will always dislike some design or wish that his favorite unit would look a bit cooler.

Jesus this is like beta complaining about Terran looking like plastic lego toys, everyone is an expert on everything LotV.
