There was a *really* damn good post on here a few months back from someone speaking about mobile static defense. He wrote fluidly and had a very well thought out argument for the need of units like the lurker and siege tank. The sheer defense/offense siege abilities of those two units alone have such finely nuanced effects, it always makes me feel like the game was built around a story with people saying "How can we, in a video game, represent what this would be?" rather than the mindset of "This is the 'glass cannon', this is the 'tank', this is the 'dps." It even branches forward to other areas but, that's not what this topic is about and I'm sorry to derail as much as I did. I miss, out of everything, the reaver. It always seemed like such an awkward unit in the Protoss arsenal. It's slow, where the race is mobile. It's clunky looking, where everything else looks so sleek. What it was, was an unstoppable powerhouse though. One blast from those things could create a pool of blood and then what the pros did with it...some of the reaver/shuttle micro I've seen in the years have easily been the best moments of watching pro SC in my life. | ||

In the time it took to make/design such a complex beam weapon...it could have just shot down too. I get that feeling with so many units in SC II. It's like the mythos is scrapped because units need to fill roles. Which, in turn, makes the unit roles awkward and very, very different to what I'd expect. Ahhh..I'm doing it again. My b | ||

There's no real threat in going into a zerg base in SC2. Lurkers would create that awesome scare tactic, not knowing if you're about to get blasted to bits while you're running. Also, burrowed blings aren't used enough to be that scary. | ||

I don't think auto cast would be too much of an issue as you have to consume between every spell anyways so the micro would still be there. I think Banelings however would make dark swarm very OP, even ultras might too because of splash. Lurkers were the only melee unit that did splash before and you'd have to burrow them under the swarm, giving time to reposition. Banelings would just get not killed at all by tank/marine. | ||

The amount of base trades and sitting armies at the natural drives me crazy. These units let you leave your base and slows down your opponent long enough for you to respond. It also encourages people to defend their bases rather than rushing an opponent's to base trade.

If you can lift up a unit high in the air, wouldn't the fastest, most efficient way of killing it be just simply releasing it and let gravity take care of it? | ||
