wow nice thinking about the medivac upgrade... they could definitely turn it into something that helps bio (if needed), wonder if they've forgotten about it? X)

How about



[image loading] 250mm Strike Cannons

Most useless ability ingame ... only exists so Thors have energy and become useless in TvP. It does less damage than a Thor with i think +2 ( maybe even already +1 ) would do with autoattack in the same time. Not to mention the Thor cannot move while using strike cannon and can still be fedbacked while setting up .

Suggestion IF they want to keep this ability . Lower cost to 100 (its 150 now ROFL ) lower the duration from 10 to 5 seconds and remove the setup time of 2 seconds.
.

Remove that ability and give the thor a researchable ability of being able to make a mini blast cannon against a unit like the battlecruiser, so that it becomes like a grounded battlecruiser. That, or give it a cooldown ability that temporarily boosts its speed so it can keep up with the army..


That last part about the cooldown i liked!

The thing is that terran has something on the order of a hundred extra researchables compared to protoss or zerg, or broodwar terran even. It's mostly just a side effect of the WoL pre-beta mindset of the developer, where they were making about a billion different upgrades for the single player campaign and weren't really that well schooled on how to balance their own damn game yet.

Just because a researchable is bad doesn't mean that you really need to change it. Not clicking the button doesn't cost you any minerals. Really it's just some kind of OCD that makes people want every ability to be useful all the time. Just worry about whether the game is fun, balanced and interesting, and make changes to get the game closer to those goals. Don't design the game around unused icon art which is burning a proverbial hole in your pocket.

It's not an upgrade, but I would add "Corruption" to the list. Even Blizzard stated that this spell made the Corruptor lame.
