If only it were true...

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 didnt have enough vikings, I lost 0 units"


Bahaha I love Jinro!

Seriously though, I would be very OK with Colossus going away. For Zerg, I'm hoping and praying and hoping that they bring back the Lurker! :D

I like the colossus... but to avoid the stalemate predictable battles, it would be cool to see it made a lot stronger, move a lot slower, and shoot a lot slower and be slower to construct. This way they would be peppered into a military ball as a seige unit, instead of as a backbone that you have to babysit and you either win or lose based on if the enemy has Vikings/Corrupters.

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.


I disagree. The problem is the idea of a deathball. If colossus were more powerful, then the 200/200 lategame would be even more broken.

Looks like HotS will change a lot about SC2....but change is always nice I guess. It's too bad that WoL wasn't the "end" for the multiplayer cause now I have to buy the game multiple times.

Part of me still missed the SC/BW storytelling where you have a whole race champaign which have a lot of plot development =S.

The part where they want to remove units for multiplayer interest me...


I was bothered by the comment that they were thinking of removing the obs because it wasn't "cool enough"


All in all, the observer is a pretty dumb unit design. 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.


I thought it was removing the overseer that they hated. Did I read it wrong?


No you're right. I went back and looked at the original post and noticed that the person I quoted was just mistaken.
However, I still think the observer is a dumb unit. Lol.


I think the corruptor is dumb.

Such a boring unit.

HAHA CHECK OUT MY CORRUPTION IT DOES SOMETHING STRAIGHTFORWARD AND BORING.

No offense Jinro, but i think you're just unhappy in lieu of your poor performance lately

Actually removing units will be stupid as fuck. I'm not going to play a game that is completely revamped because derp a lerp

If you remove the colossus Protoss either changes completely or you find some way to replace the colossus singularly, which essentially is impossible unless its colossus 2.0

so true. corruptors are used only to counter vikings, collosus, sometimes void rays and phoenixes.
corruption is never used. I've never seen this spell on tournaments for sure.

i haven,t played sc1.

i have googled and seen the lurker.

Now can you or anyone tell me why Lurker is so popular amongst sc players? in every thread about what units should be in the game there is always someone saying Lurker.

Removing the Colossus would make the game so much better.

Seriously
1: Remove units such as Collosi, Corrupter, Thor
2: Add units as Reaver, Lurker, Goliath
3: ?!?!?! Profit ?!?!?!

The Colossus is just dumb
Corrupters are darn boring, and only useful for morphing Broodlords
The Thor is a really awesome unit, but its scales kinda weird, I still feel that they Goliath is a better unit =/.

Would love to see the vulture come back too xd. Call me nostalgic i don't care.
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3
