Terran seems complete to me more than the other races, if you must maybe a melee unit but thats not terrans style. The thor is already the goliath imo. Protoss already has harass units i think. Zealots and DT's fill that role quite well. | ||

1. It makes the carrier superfluous. Who wants to wait twice as long and pay more for a unit that ultimately has the same roll as the colossus? 2. The colossus does not reward micro AT ALL. I can micro one just as well as Huk. Make it more APM intensive. Pro's should definitely be able to bring out more potential in such an expensive unit. And for a protoss harass unit, maybe something fast and rolling that does damage over time to units around it. Like a rolling science vessel that has been irradiated.  mmmm And it could have an upgrade that gives it a shield like an immortal that you can toggle on and off, so it could stay useful late game. | ||

Protoss - they want reaver Zerg - Lurker Terrain - Goalith Don't you want a refresh take on the game just as the current SC2 did? Dustin said they're looking at a legit harass unit for Protoss, unlike Phoenix which have you commit too much. | ||

Honestly, SC2 Zerg with Lurkers would be scary as hell, but would quell a lot of "Mule OP" cries if Terran has to constantly use scans (although might finally prompt people to build Ravens. It's a swap-to-techlab away, after all) IMHO Zerg really needs a better Hydralisk, in whatever way. That could mean slightly weaker Roaches which could mean less anti-armor damage for Marauders and Stalkers and Immortals and Tanks. But I'm back to BW again. I say leave it to Blizzard to try to work it out. Fingers and toes crossed. | ||

Give it low enough dps/hp to be a waste of resources if it can't use its spell(s) - like a sentry. Maybe have it able to cliffwalk too (or cliff-jump, zerg are agile no? ^^), for maximum void ray tears. Found this like 60 pages ago, but a reverse graviton would actually be completely awesome, even if it would make my vrays cry. | ||

Meanwhile, terran will be outfitted with marines that have shotguns that do splash damage in an area slightly smaller than the siege tank splash, and when hit by a melee unit, it sets everything within its firing range on fire. And the zerg will get an evolution for the zergling: you can split your zergling into two mini zerglings that do zero damage and have 1hp and cannot move or burrow. this will be automatically be activated upon receiving damage of any kind. | ||

This is probably my favorite post from the thread. I feel like trying to guess what they're coming out with is largely ineffective and can be a waste of time. Yes, the poll basically wants a lot of BW units back in the game. I feel like re-introducing all bw units wouldn't necessarily be the way to go, due to the differences in mechanics between the games. | ||
