For Protoss: An anti-air only big unit (high hp). Like some massive dragoon with AOE attack or a flying caster with corsair-like attack and detection (raven style). Either detection from the stargate or a unit that attacks air from the robotics, both sound good.

For Zerg: Scourge. Literally, flying banelings with slightly slower movement speed to phoenixes (aoe and bonus against light makes them cool).

For Terran: Goliath or Valk.

Haha, seriously.

Rename the thread "name your favourite BW unit missing from SC2" and you wouldn't have to change a single post. :p


On topic, I really feel that Zerg is missing a unit able to [ab]use cliffs like Terrans and Protoss can.

I think it would be cool to be able to put something into a warp prism and actually do some decent damage :p

This is my secret dream for the expansion :

Protoss :
Collossus removed, Reavers added. + Buff for the warp prism.
Phoenixes get corsair's attack. (because protoss has no air splash except for archon)

Zerg :
Lurker added; + addition of a new spell caster
Scourges replace corruptors.

Terran :
Land mine upgrade for the reaper; Cliff-walking mechanic removed.
Science vessel replaces raven.

tbh I'd rather have new units than old ones.


Let Blizzard come up with some cool new shit.

This list won't happen.

It's the equivalent of Blizz coming out and admitting that they should have made SC2 like BW in the first place.

Protoss: Replace collossi with something else. Anything else really. Do something about warp prisms.

Terran: Pretty much already has it all, mines is about the only thing i can think of which they could use.

Zerg: Lurker ofc, remove banelings if you want i want lurker back. Hydras need a change, if your going to make the only zerg ground to air unit bound to creep which is easily destroyed; at least make it a scary unit ffs :x

They made terran almost exactly like they did in broodwar, why did they have to neuter the other races in terms of gameplay lol

I would totally love to see a mech ground to air which is similar to turrets/Goliath cause atm mech is so dependent on turrets vs mass muta or vikings/turrets against voidray/carrier. I'd love to see that change.

I'd also love something like Lurker with most of its damage being +armored so it doesn't have a similar role to banelings/baneling mines and that would probably make ZvZ less mass roach midgame. Zerg would just have so much more variety if they could hold a position very cost efficient.

Also a unit like Reaver that is nice to drop would be a great addition for Protoss and make dropship harrass a lot more viable and thus the game more dynamic.

Other than that I totally agree with Morrow, I generally want units that are hard to micro (and force your enemy to micro)

I would suggest bringing reaver back (with much better scarab AI), and probably an air caster.
Perhaps an upgrade for pheonix to attack ground with a different weapon?
Another unit I would like to see is the spider mines :D

I'd actually like to see something like the Goliath for T. Being able to fight non-muta air units almost exclusively with vikings or marines seems kinda strange. The Thor as ground to air unit is just awfully specific vs mutas considering it has about same dps vs non-light air units as a SINGLE marine.

For Protoss I think the better way do deal with the colossus dominace would be to make the other tech paths more viable. Maybe by adding a "small" air spellcaster with detection.

my one thought is that protoss will get a mine layer, due to the fact that the army is really immobile
just saying

Wut? Terran are nothing like they are in Brood War. The very inclusion of marauders and medivacs changed them totally.

on another train of thought, does anyone think we will see a new ultra massive unit like the Mothership for Zerg or Terran............. more or, even if its considered "not a high level combat unit" why does only Protoss get them? just seems off.

How would that work? I'm in favor of allowing to morph whole hatcheries into some sort of unit after reaching hive tech :D.

Protoss get the MShip because Zerg has Nydus and Terran has Nukes.

Protoss and Zerg both will get more units that take very micro intensive units that take a lot of skills to use ( Reaver , Lurkers maybe ). Terran will just get slight little changes since they are already good. Things like Colossus, Marauders, Roaches, and banelings will get some tone downs, especially Colossus since they will now have the Reaver.
