Hell I would love if they just kept the same units as they had in BW, even though when sc2 was coming out I was not one of the people who really wanted that to happen. | ||

Let's hope deathballs are eradicated by HotS, and area of effect spells and attacks are rebalanced. | ||

They aren't bringing back siege tanks because of how units form giant balls; it would be overpowered. I do hope they do something about the Colossus. I'd like to see it replaced with Reavers, but I'd also be happy if they just did *something* with it. | ||

Anyways as far as taking out units go, they said they would likely have to as they added units, because "units are getting near Brood War numbers". Kim/Browder expressed that the reaper was nerfed into oblivion, and the overseer was generally useless, so I expect them to look at those. | ||

I'm thinking reaper, so I went with the cliffwalk alternative. I think zergs should have darkswarm imo Terran I feel has the most complete arsenal of stuff. I don't think that there's a particular unit missing, but possible improvements could be made on existing ones. | ||

His abilities just make so much sense for this game, and is cool and everyone wanted to get one after playing the campaign That's quite a bit of overlap with the Ghost. Honestly I think if Terrans got a new caster, it will either replace the Raven, or the Raven will be getting buffed/reworked. Right now basically no one gets Raven except for certain TvP timing attacks with PDD or for detection (and even then, they usually just opt for mass Orbitals.) I really think Reaper needs to be reworked or removed; right now it's really a gimmick unit. I think Protoss need some overhaul/changes to their air force. Carrier is rather lackluster right now. They could also use a nice mobility-based harass unit. For Zerg, it really depends on the direction they want to take them. The fact is, as awesome of a unit Lurker is, I expect to see new ideas in an expansion, not just recycling old ones. I feel they could use an additional hatchery and hive tech level option. Lair is fairly robust, although Hydralisks could be looked at in terms of design. Perhaps some more ways to get creep onto the battlefield quickly (new overseer ability?) to give hydralisks a bit more mobility but not independent. | ||

Immortals to have effect of knockback when attacking a unit / i.e mini forcefield. Adding upgrade for range in robo bay to have max range of 7 for kiting. So you wanna remove the maruader and give it to the protoss? That totally seems fair. | ||

For zerg, lurkers would be nice, it would put the pressure on T and P quite nicely. I never feel like I have the pressure on those races when I play against them unless I'm straight up winning, and I'd like to have an early midgame - late game crutch. Infestors are a good crutch, but they die quickly and can run out of energy. I dunno, we'll see. Protoss needs a harassy unit i think, and most P will say the same. I almost want to say that P needs another stalker like unit that is light and comes from warpgate. For Terran it would be nice if concussive shells wasn't so expensive and didn't take so long to upgrade.  | ||
