Commander Zerg: Predator 0-4 kills Slayer 5-9 kills Ravager 10-14 kills Assassin 15-19 kills Metamorph 20+ kills At this point its unknown if it effects actual in-game damage or armor. Can anyone check? | ||

this is just a neat little detail with no game effect. There should be an achievement for getting a worker to the 20 kill rank | ||

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. | ||

What's up with the assassin zerg? I wouldn't mind to have some visual changes with rank ups either, just minor stuff. Like the schythe DT guy has a helmet (?) made out of hydralisk bones | ||

I have to say, though, it's satisfying on some level to see the lone survivng reaper of a raid with 23 kills get some kind of commendation for being a badass. Haha, this is pretty much how I feel about this feature. | ||

THIS IS NOT WARCRAFT IN SPACE. IT'S MUCH MORE SOPHISTICATED! I KNOW IT'S NOT 3D! I for one cannot wait to see a Probe Executor...artificial intelligences have been discriminated against FAR too much in Protoss military leadership. | ||

I think it would be more fun to have terran ranks move from Recruit to something like Hotshot to Ace ect... | ||

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 | ||

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). | ||

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? +1 | ||

That would only make banshees a little OP  And battlecruisers would never level just because they suck vs everything, I killed a cruiser with one viking earlier , just shoot move, shoot move, hero viking ftw! | ||
