Something to keep players off lategame armies and turtling a bit more. Terran feels forced into a lot and as a Zerg facing and watching it is bad for blood pressure. EDIT: Exciting to see how well Time is playing tho. | ||

Thors were originally designed to be hero units for Terran, along with the Queen for Zerg and Mothership for Protoss. It was one of David Kim's teams original ideas that was scrapped in alpha for Wings of Liberty. They thought the Thor model was too cool to get rid of so they just turned it into a big bulky Goliath that wasn't designed properly to do what the Goliath was really good at which was GtA anti-air. Overtime the design of the Thor was adjusted to resemble that role more and more, till the point that we have the Thor that we have today. It's a relic of the "principle of cool" that drove a lot of WoL's bad game design that they were in love with too much to get rid of, a lot like Warp Gate. Skip to 7:34 that's what the original design looked like. If you've ever played the WoL campaign you'll recognize that model design as the Odin from the campaign. | ||
