There is no way to make the game better than to remove that god damn unit - not even balance reasons, its just STUPID. "Oh you had enough vikings and I got RAPED" "Oh you didnt have enough vikings, I lost 0 units" | ||

"Oh you had enough vikings and I got RAPED" "Oh you didnt have enough vikings, I lost 0 units" Did they really say that they were going to remove some units? I did not expect that at all , it would be a really big move, I really hope they will remove the colossus (which is a units with a really bad game design). But I guess you would need to remove units from terrans and zergs as well... | ||

I didn't play much BW so I'm not sure if it was legit in that environment, but right now the idea that the protoss player builds a unit which literally just stares at your army and base to scout your composition sounds kind of stupid. Hallucination/Reaper/Overlord are good scout unit ideas. Observer is not. | ||

Hallucination/Reaper/Overlord are good scout unit ideas. Observer is not. Well, in broodwar they were more useful because detection was part of the standard game rather than having units that instantly killed you because you didn't have detection. With mines and lurkers hanging around they were a requirement. And due to thier low health, observer sniping was pretty common. Id say its a good unit as long as it has something to do more than looking at unit compositions, scouting, and preventing you from dieing to DTs. If that's the only thing an observer does, then its boring(like in PVP in broodwar) | ||

But I'd like to have a stern word with Blizzard: Char is not the Zerg homeworld. Have you forgotten your own lore?! | ||

Removing the unit itself is a huge leap (and a huge mistake imo), and I can't really see that happening... nor should it. It's cliffwalking has huge strategic uses, and it can be hit by ground attacks and air attacks.... I would just like to see it turn into a true seige unit instead of requiring 8 of them to insta dominate. 1 or 2 in an army delivering static d busting abilities, or forcing the opponent to move would be very cool. | ||
