Oh that's such a good idea :-) I always have deep feeling for my lone 20 kill goon. Sometimes, I even keep them to keep my base (completely useless, but veteran deserve some rest) because of the sentimental aspect of it.

Ha, ya I'd always honor my veteran units by putting them in the back of my base.

I wonder if Stork does that sometimes or if it is only because we are hopeless newbies that we have this kind of sentimental feeling towrds our hero units.

They could have been more creative with the terran ranks. Recruit is a great rank 1 but then moving to two seemingly random enlisted ranks and then two officer ranks is uninspired and lazy.
I think it would be more fun to have terran ranks move from Recruit to something like Hotshot to Ace ect...

The final rank for every race should just be Badass, or Baller.

I'm glad they added this tbh. Now players get more gratification by getting hero units, without them being "real" hero units like wc3.....god no...

They'll probably have an achievement called killer drone, where you have a metamorph ranked drone during a ladder match.

It doesn't affect the unit's stats, but I'm sure it's a great addon to UMS maps

That would be pretty cool, I think you'd see a lot of players including workers in their armies trying to get the achievement :D

Or, if a person beat another person on good terms he'd just ask to let the worker kill a bunch of his guys

They should have more ranks than just 20 kills. I want some way to honour Ghosts that get 50+ kills from nuking :D

More like people will just create games dedicated to getting this achievement.

What would indeed be awesome is Veteran units gaining a small graphic improvement. A Zergling would grow a couple of larger/extra claws, Hydras perhaps get a bit bulkier or more spines. Marines get a bit customized armor, etc. No gameplay changes ofc but a little marker to make that hero Marine feel good about himself?

Aside from my personal aversions to this type of system, it's also just not balanced. Rank-up systems favor durable units over weaker ones. This could not only cause a racial imbalance in certain matchups, but it also would lean gameplay on an even heavier focus toward the Immortal/Roach/Marauder (which, being both hard-hitting and hard to kill, would rank up far more easily than many other units).

"
Zerg:
Predator 0-4 kills
Slayer 5-9 kills
Ravager 10-14 kills
Assassin 15-19 kills
Metamorph 20+ kills
"

Wth, why is the weakest rank the most badass one?

And yeah I agree, assassin really doesnt fit

Wtf is a metamorph?
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.
