EPTIm hoping that a few units get swapped out like the mothership->arbiter/caster and the viking->goliath/valkyrie. And other units like the roach stay in singleplayer. For the love of zerg please give us a remade hydralisk. I dont care if its slow off creep just make it 1 supply and cheap.

Yes, maybe you are right. People get too stuck on the examples, and just think BW. Obviously any ground artillery for Protoss will be nothing like the Reaver, and a minelayer will be nothing like the Vulture. So yes, the examples were probably unnecessary. Sorry for that. | ||

T: mech ground unit that does splash to ground Z: many banelings morphing into a thor sized baneling trololo - resistant to tank fire/mech fire, good against FFs/Terran walls/and 1 shots a planetary if it can reach in time lolol too much?  I dunno because the game is still so young, I personally feel many things need to be reworked, and like somebody said --> we shouldn't be so concerned about roles, the pros will do that. But the artillery and unit stats are what are important that can add or take away from the game. 2 cents. | ||

I think that would be cool as well. So true so true. Especially Zerg upgrades lol I feel they could do a lot more and reward the zergs that invest in upgrades a lot more especially in the late stages of the game. 3-3, stim, combat shielded, medivac healed marines are pretty much lol (I play terran and it's true) | ||

This is probably the best idea i've read so far in this entire thread. As for my ideas - - Giving reapers their manually operated mine/bombs again - Replacing the Thor with the goliath. Adding the Mammoth Mk.II to SC wasn't a good idea, Blizzard. - Zerg hive level artillery (15+ range) unit/building that needs to be rooted in creep and has little health and weak attack but large AOE - Protoss suicidal unit ( En Taro Tassadar! ) - Maybe merge DT with HT to create Twilight archon which has detection, and a Lifelink spell or Banish spell. - Supporting caster for Protoss from Robo, spells: Regenerate Shields and Hardened Shields. - Remove Spawn Infested Terran and Give infestors Infest Unit (25 Energy, 6 range, steals a Bio unit, Missile/Dodgeable). This works on Probes/Scvs, but an infested SCV can only build an infested barracks, probe: Infested Gateways. Infested Pylons/Depots spread creep. I really want zerg to be able to truly infest/corrupt things. o_o ...would be sweet. - Corruption is AOE, Corruptors can shut down turrets/PDFs like a corsair could, but it's a channelled spell. - Ravens should have Lockdown and be able to call down nukes as well. | ||

Fopr Terran I just hope Blizzard will make Mech viable. The Hightech units do less damage than tier 1 Unit (if you campare the cost), we have no option for "Groundcontrol" like Spidermines - only Planetary Fortress and building 10 of them sucks hard. And there is no ggod Antiair since they made the Goliath becoming the Viking. You have to upgrade Fac and Air to optimize your Upgraes which just makes Mech suck a lot. I dont think Reaper will get Spidermines - and if they will it will suck hard cause it actually costs you too much gas so you cant use them for Mech anyways. For Zerg there wont be a cliffrunning unit. If so it wont be mass-able, wont be a caster and will cost too much. Just imagine Zerg having Reaper. This will be totally boring too play cause u cant place Tanks/Bunker/Cannons everywhere. New unit? maybe a new massable unit. Other things stuff I think which will improve SC2: Resize Ultralisk+Thor(or replace thor - its horrible) A lot more Upgrades. Some Caster added Redesign Raven and his skills. not worth it if you dont Allin early vs Protoss or you need mobile detection give Zerg a tier1 antiairunit. I mean wtf is this shit? :D More Upgrades Redesign Warpprism (make it less vulnerable) make Micro more intensive for Protoss/Zerg. Watching PvZ is just boring cause there are RoachInfestor vs Deathball and noone micro at all. Terran has a lot to micro like Splitting, Kiting, Slicing etc. More Casters/units at all. Wanna have more options than 3 Fac 4 Bio and 3 Air units More Upgrades Definitly more Upgrades More Upgrades? More Upgrades! Teching should be more effective. I dont wanna have a MassTier1vsMassTier1 game  And SC2 wont turn into BW. Dont talk about adding Lurker, Reaver+Vulture/Goliath. Its not going to happen! edit: Hightier Units would benefit a lot more by upgrades if they would have only "1 attack". BC, Thor, Immortal suffer a lot because of this. And thats why Tier1 Units deal similar damage/more damage than hightechunits. and thats jsut the way it should be | ||

I do not believe adding new units is a simple task of finding "what unit type is missing" in each race, because each race has to play different and maintain a distinct feel. You can't have every single unit type for each race. Adding new possibilities whilst staying true to each race's feel is something very hard to do. I'd love to see lurker make a come back, but I believe it doesn't really fit sc2 gameplay as it is. If it did indeed come back some tweaks would have been made. | ||

Actually Stalkers are OKish vs armored, but are a joke against light flyers. Phoenix are good against light, but are hard to transition to. So Protoss need something against light air (Banshees and Mutas), which is more easily massable. | ||

For Terran, TvT involves tank micro, TvP involves EMPs and TvZ requires good splits, and learning to establish good dropship rythmn for all those MUs. Protoss only need to practice Force Fields. Zerg......Mutalisk micro? Trololo. Maybe they will introduce more critical and micro intensive units to the other 2 races to make games exciting. Yeah, right. How about making sure that your Zealots are in front, spreading Sentries and HTs to prevent them being made useless by 1 EMP. Blink. I'm really annoyed by clueless people. | ||

This is a new game what applies in broodwar does not necessarily apply to starcraft 2. | ||
