In fairness for SC2...

Siege Tanks
Infestors
Forcefields

are supposed to be the "map control" defensive thingy tha each race has akin to mines, lurkers and shuttle/reaver.

They're not used that way--but I feel that that was their intent.

In defense of the Phoenix. Wasn't the original point of it be to explode? Or even lift off units so that they'd be close to the Phoenix exploding?

Then the explosion was removed and all we have is the lift ability?

I miss lurkers, but both speedbanes and infestors are suitable replacements.

I know this thread's about units, but I really miss the creep colonies. You could morph it into whatever you needed when the push was coming. Cost-efficient and versatile.

yeah it was supposed to overload and to aoe damage to air around it then be weak afterwards for a while
that turned out to equal full air dominance once you had a few so they had to change it

for all this smart cast defiler stuff, the reaver ai was patched to be stupider in BW because it was OP
imagine SC2 AI on those things...

Imagine.. if Medics replaced Medivacs, how easy a fungal would be able to deny a drop or large MMM balls *drools*

Reaver and corsair. I would say I miss the vulture and lurker, but as a Protoss player, I'll say I hated them

Arbiterssssss...

I mean, we have an arbiter-like unit, but you can only make one, it's huge, it's really resource-heavy, and it's a slowpoke.

If we had arbiters, we could mass recall into the main, do a bunch of damage, then mass recall out (or into another base!) with another arbiter when the opponent finally gets there.

But nope, just one mothership, and it takes 8 supply too.

this is motivating me to make SC2: Classic

SC2BW exists (though not perfect)

SC2: Classic, a mix of sc2 and bw. will start working on it today

mule/chrono/queen will stay
marauder/immortal/banshee/void/roach will stay
hel = vult
reaper = firebat
col = reaver
ms = arbitor
bane = scourge
lurker
pheonix = corsair
thor = goliath
viking = valk
muta morph into devour and broodlord w/ gs.
raven = vs
darchon w/ mc and maelstrom (no feedback)

just what i can conjure up atm. will work on full list today after work. exciting!
