 I think they're right though, T does feel the most complete race, zerg I think needs a unit to control space more, and P needs a better version of the phoenix. I would like to see Reapers buffed though and maybe Thor merged into some kind of Goliath like thing. A faster Thor pretty much. | ||

Goliaths were kind of lame in SC1, but became major anti-air support in BW (range upgrade). Do the same to SC2 carriers, overseers, and corruptors. Yes, but all the Goliath needed was a simple range upgrade. It already had an anti-air role in terms of damage; the range just made it more powerful at that. The Overseer needs spells that don't suck and the Corruptor needs an ability that doesn't suck. That's rather harder to do well. Though it would be a shame to waste a good model like the Corruptor. | ||

 In all honesty, I believe Blizz will give "something" to the Terran fans which will prove to be very gimicky..... Protoss getting a useful (!) harassment-unit completely made my day. Even though it might turn out to make DT-openings useless since you need the dark shrine, the lack of efficient harassment is a huge problem especially in PvZ. Nowadays zergs just drone and drone and drone, have 70 drones at 12 minutes and are maxed a couple minutes later on pure roach. The zerg-"siege/zoning"-unit is in my opinion needed too, since burrowed banelings just don't fulfil their role nearly as effectively as lurkers. Even though I'd hate it if Blizz just brought back lurkers instead of doing something more creative, if they don't have any better idea, then it's better than nothing. Overall I'm so happy to see that the big boss doesn't deny that Terran is the most "complete", flexible race with the most possibilities and the easiest timing pushs. This means that maybe we will see some changes even before the HotS. | ||

Irradiate a blue flame hellion, now thats something to rage quit about! Approved! On a more serious note, I would like to see the locking spells such as forcefields and fungal growth tweaked. Both start out strong jsut like now, but slowly fade away in this way. -Forcefields will show cracks and become attackable haflway through the spell -Fungal growth will slowly go from ocmpletely immobilized to 50 % movement inhibiting and so on. I like dynamic fights, and as a zerg, both of these spells just give either player complete control of the battlefield, its not fun even though it might be hilarious to see 40 marines burst into clouds of blood when you cast 2 75 energy spells on them. | ||

Removing the corrupter and overseer, adding 3 new units to zerg, giving protoss a harass unit. . . that would all make for a very different feeling game. TFT made a 100% completely different game out of warcraft 3, so I wouldn't be surprised. Before the add-on warcraft 3 was all about mass-casters, after TFT melee units actually started to become useful. On August 02 2011 20:55 Ruscour wrote: Finally a harass unit for Protoss. Aside from chronoboosting and pressuring around the joint, if Phoenix is impractical there's not a whole lot to do when there's no action. I want something I can micro 24/7, dammit! I approve of this statement. Especially zergs have always complained that toss just sits back and macroes up a deathball. Well, hurr-durr it's kinda hard to do anything beside that when both phoenixes and DTs can be rendered useless by exactly one spore-crawler. Sometimes I've felt that phoenixes should get an anti-building-attack-upgrade (not anti-ground!) that could even be rather expensive.... It doesn't have to be the reaper, but something that serves a role as overall decent harassment-unit that cannot be HARD (!) countered. Like mutas and medivac-drops, even if you are prepared they kinda always do at least "some" damage. | ||
