You joined this forum just to say that?

Though I do have to agree somewhat (Not the "stupid" part). I found myself agreeing with some of your arguments in the OP, but after reading through replies, and probably a lot more people who have played the game, I believe they'll find their niche in the game. We shouldn't be worrying too much about it. If it's obvious enough that people without the beta/game can notice it, I'm sure Blizzard has too.

I share that worry, Shizuru, I love the Tank and I would hate for it to be marginalized in SC2.

How do you guys feel about the concept of the Viking having GtA and AtG attacks rather than GtG and AtA? Would it be too strong?

Also, I reflected on how the discussions around SC2 are often sounding like "they need to do this to make it sufficiently different from the first game." That's a lot different from other game franchises were the devs just do whatever and it ends up not having any of the magic of the original game. It's rather funny, though.
