EPTIt's like people can't wrap their heads around the notion that lurkers don't really have a role in SC2.

With the removing of cliff-walking and the addition of ways to lock some ground places (lurkers, reavers, mine, tanks) Suddenly the game become a positional battle where drops and air units can play a huge role. If this is SC1, then why are there sentries, banelings, queens, mule, warp prisms, banshees, blink-salkers, Thors, ... You would be surprised how much hate would SC2 get because it would be much more similar to BW. If you want those units, go play BW. Or you can try to be creative and come up with new interesting units... But I know that's the harder way. This whole poll shows how people cannot think of anything new except what has already been made. | ||

I sure as hell doubt Protoss is going to get another unit to cover the colossus's role and I'm doubtful the Lurker will be added. Of course I'd like to see reavers and lurkers yeah, but why would they add them? What they want, most arnt being realistic at all | ||

 Zergs need some high-tier unit like the ultralisk, but being better. Probably make ultras have an ability similar to the strike cannon. Also some more mobile units would give zerg that swarm feel ;p I dunno about toss. I guess an unit that requires them to multitask more (a harass unit probably) will make some of the whining children stop. | ||

edit: Oh, and definitely new AOE spell. It could be this spell that motivates the creep upgrade. Say, an upgraded creep allows when cast this spell upon it to activate... something: slowing, poisoning, exploding, who knows what. | ||

The highest results of the poll are all units from BW that were removed... it's understandable. And unoriginal. | ||

Zerg: - Burrowed/steathed unit actually capable to constantly do damage while invisible (comparable to Banshee/Ghost, DTs). Lurkers would be nice, but Blizzard is not gonna add them, I'm pretty sure. Still, kinda siege unit before Broodlords would be nice because Zerg can be just a-moved so easily while P/T are capable to stop whole Armies with Tanks/Colo/FF/Storms etc. - Hive tech caster unit with anti caster abilities. other stuff: reworking of Corrupter/Overseer, Hydras are meh, Ultras should be able to walk "over" other units like Colossus (without cliffwalking ofc) and have slightly reduced size, FG reworking (root removed, over time faded snare added instead 80%->20% since being rooted in place like forever is retarded, etc) Terran: - New mech unit (maybe caster ground mech unit?). - Reapers need something. Protoss: - New Robotics Bay unit, Colossus reworked. Like Lurkers, don't think there will be Reavers. - Even if Dustin B. was ok with Mothership ( because you know, its "cool" and casuals like it..), cheaper flying caster unit would be nice. Also, unit stacking like it is at the moment sucks somehow, too. Zealots are slower than Stalkers even with upgrade and are always behind them so they dont "tank" anything, just as example. Armies should be more spreaded by a little bit and melee units should be more in front of the army if you move forward. | ||

The scourge would change ZvP, IMO in a good way, but would that mean removing corrupters and broodlords? I don't know how they would do that. | ||

P) - 1 Air-Unit that only shoots Air-to-Ground and light-counters units with a high fire-rate (like Hydra or Marine). - 1 Ground-Unit that only shoots Ground-to-Ground and light-counters light units. You could also make a upgrade for the zealots, which increases their damage against light-units (like Pre-Igniter) or reduces Damage of units with a high fire-rate (Since zealots are supposed to "counter" those units, but just don't, as soon as their numbers increase) - 1 Cost-Effective Harass Unit. We don't have a Helion, Baneling, etc.. DTs are more some kind of map-control unit. Z) - 1 Early-Game Scout that makes it easier to scout your opponent. Maybe some kind of "slow" Reaper would do the trick (Since zerglings are already extremly fast). - 1 Anti-Caster Unit. 1 HT vs. 4 Infestors just isn't fair. Feedback ftw! - 1 Tier-3 Unit that can shoot Air. T) - 1 "Slow" Air-to-Air Unit that light-counters light units. - Landmine Upgrade for Reaper. - 1 Ability (Tier-3) that let's you cloak your whole army temporary (like 10 Seconds). | ||
