now i have thought of a new unit that blizzard will probably steal 4 heart of the swarm expansion but i dont mind if they call it "baller rank" when it reaches 10+ kills

it is called... drumrolll... the hydraroach

[image loading]
Sentient drew dis unit

now u may be asking baller how does this unit work? well i will tell u my friends. u may think is this just a hydra? no it is not. it is a hydra, sort of. but this hydra is riding on the back of a roach.

but baller, if its not a hydra and its not a roach how does it work? i will explain.

HYDRAROACH FAQ

wat is the cost and supply of the hydraroach?
hydraroach costs 4 supply and costs 175/75, u may say how did u think of this cost and supply well u might notice this is the exact cost and supply of a hydra+roach units 2gether

how do i make the hydraroach?
there r 2 ways 2 make the hydraroach

1. make it with 2 eggs, the hotkey is pressing H and R 2gether. make sure to time this correctly because u may accidentally make a hydra and a roach separately and that would be disaster

2. upgrade roach saddle. burrow a roach. move hydra on top of roach. unburrow roach and boom u have a hydraroach. this actually works with any zerg unit, but u need 4 roaches + saddle upgrade 2 carry an ultralisk.

how does a hydraroach move?
a hydraroach moves as fast as a roach. if u have roach speed, it moves as fast as a roach with speed.

wat about high ground? can other units see the hydra part of my hydraroach?
the hydra part of the hydraroach is just like on high ground so ur enemies can't see it. but they can kill the roach and the hydra drops to the ground, taking 40 damage from his fall and is stunned 4 five seconds. u may upgrade hydra parachute and this won't happen.

can my hydraroach walk over cliffs?
the roach part cannot but hydra has ability called "dismount" and if u use it near a cliff hydra can walk off roach onto cliff.

can vikings and turrets hit my hydraroach?
yes. they can hit the hydra part of ur hydraroach. but a unit that only hits ground can only hit the roach part.

how does a hydraroach attack?
hydraroach has 2 attacks, 1 from the hydra and 1 from the roach.

how does burrowing work? this seems complicated...
dont worry baller will explain 4 u.

to burrow u must press burrow twice, once to burrow the roach and then to burrow the hydra. to unburrow u need to press it twice as well.

this is good 4 tactix bc u can burrow only the roach and then hellions come and r like "yoyo lets kill this fool hydra!" but u just unburrow and boom u have a roach and the hellions r like oh shit wtf where did that roach come from??

how much space does a hydraroach take in an overlord?
this is the great thing about the hydraroach -- overlord can load just the hydra part, the roach just hangs out the bottom. so u can fit 4 into an overlord.

does a hydraroach have any counter?
no. the only counter to a hydraroach is to have more hydraroaches. but thors do good vs hydraroach bc it can kill hydra from long range using air attack then attack the roach.

if u have any tips or tricks or want 2 pre-add hydraroach to liquipedia, plz do so but credit me as the creator of this new unit thx

This would be ridiculously overpowered and Blizzard would never actually do this.

I was thinking the same thing while I was reading your comment :D
In life you can obtain all sorts of material wealth, but the real treasure is the epic feelings you get while doing something you love.

<3 Baller. You never fail to disappoint!
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crown and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness.

I have a genius idea:

The zerguardian.

How would this work?

Think of a guardian. Ok, now the guardian shoots zerglings.

But maybe we'll have to nerf the lings abit and give them a timer to prevent a zerg player from getting infinite lings from 1 zerguardian.

Much cooler than hydraroach.

I really like the idea of two zerg units merge into one better unit. Would be really cool if they did something like that for HotS. Just not a hydra riding a roach, thats retarded.

need a cooler name for it though, hydroach! it would be a little more roach than hydra but i think you can imagine the A for hydra. But terran needs a combo unit too, im thinking something along the lines of thortank.
