Kerrigan as human was hot, Queen of Blades was hot is an evil way, hybrid Kerrigan is meh. Not sure how they managed to take two hot character designs and hybrid them into much less hot.

Bam! I just made the colossi more strategic.

On a more serious note I love how people say that everybody hates the colossi just because they hate the Colossi.I do think it can be reworked to have more depth but I guess that is up to Blizzard to do it based on feedback than on armchair developers

The problem with the colossus being discussed is not a balance issue.

I'm sorry for going off topic but on a subject unrelated to colossii but to my friend and I Kerrigan always looked like she had dark skin in SC then she was a nordic wonder in the cutscenes in SC2 and now that she's human her green tintish makes her look how she originally did. (How her hair has changed in every different cutscene is a different bag entirely)

This is just amazing! Thanks for an awesome preview!
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

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.

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'd like to se Lurker, but Blizzard told it is not probably.

If Lurkers got added to multiplayer, Blizzard would need to add a ZvT mechanic that makes the Terran auto-surrender whenever they build any barracks unit. Lurkers, Banelings, and Infestors in the same game...

Preaching the truth... This frustrates me so much that I usually just 3-rax all-in (2x react, 1x tech) on maps with wide naturals.

This is just bad. See me after class for a history review on how Terran dominated TvZ or read this article about Saviour.

Yet... Funny enough.. terran got by just fine in BW with marines and science vessels when zerg had scourge, defiler, lurker, CRACKLINGS (caps intended), queens (ensare/parisite/broodling?) and faster ultralisks.

Q: What changes will come to Battle.net with Heart of the Swarm?

A: As far as Battle.net improvements, one primary focus will be on getting the StarCraft Marketplace up and running at some point around the launch of Heart of the Swarm. The maps and mods community in StarCraft II has published tens of thousands of custom maps using the StarCraft II editor. Our goal with the new Marketplace design will be in upgrading the custom map UI to better showcase the wide variety of great new maps and mods to players who are looking for fun new gaming experiences. We want players to be able to more easily find, rate, and sort through all the great custom maps that have been created.

The Marketplace will also eventually include a commerce element that will allow mapmakers to charge a fee for their work. While there will always be a wealth of free content, we believe that allowing content creators to profit from their work will foster an environment for more complex and higher-quality custom maps. Our ultimate hope is that the StarCraft Marketplace will function and thrive in a similar manner as mobile "app-stores" -- tons of free and premium content for players, and a limitless source of entertainment through StarCraft II and Battle.net.

You forgot option "No. Fuck you blizzard I already payed for your game"

And its probably gonna happen anyways. Seriously, its sickening just how much of a money making operation all of this has become.

I never realized how badly he spelled Custom. I would never pay for a made up word map. Its a principle thing.

If Lurkers got added to multiplayer, Blizzard would need to add a ZvT mechanic that makes the Terran auto-surrender whenever they build any barracks unit. Lurkers, Banelings, and Infestors in the same game...


point is to terran dont build baracs unites :D lol.... point is when game procide to go from T1 TO T2 and not mass t1 unites wholl game...

hahaha some ppl yust lol...like they newer play RTS game....Game should procide from T1 to T2 to T3.... and not T1 mass wholl game...

as colloss problem is in suplay too 6 suplay is too much simply Game looks smaler then sc1 bw then with that caind of unites to work in multiplayer....much smaler...

to balance collos you can reduce their HP ... movment speed ... and dps... main thing is also with stim pack ... unites that do insane amount of dps should sufer a lot of threth ...so that unites should reduce HP to be wery low....so if THEY do INSANE dps to also get kill easyer.... aslo stim on maraders should drein more hp from him...

also i agree with somebady who tell they can made colloss to be like seige mode to be able to shot 9 range or more...but i think they should maby in that case made them to do eaven more dps but like reavers 1 shot and after cooldown... also hp nerf would do good..there is plenty of things thay can do..

but replace tham that would be easyer if they know what they whont...aslo game will be a lot bether..how meny strategy will be

Prominently featuring Kerrigan in the campaigns is a huge mistake. The more you emphasis a super unit (like WC3 heroes) the more you devalue the economy. The more you devalue the economy, the more you devalue creativity that comes from crazy different types of unit combinations, harasses, and sim city defenses. Instead you get boring/tedious levels with just several units + Kerrigan A-clicking around the map while trying to beat a timer. WoL really messed up here...too many pressure cooker levels with little options for econ advancement. SC2 was fun when you mass econed against another mass econ AI that would send small harass parties periodically while you macrod/teched/sim city'ed up and came up with a strategy to crack their defenses.
