I'm pretty sad as I realized that Blizzard essentially batted below 50% on the new units they introduced. The hellion (firebat), baneling (nothing, really), phoenix (corsair) and queen (queen) are about the only units that are better or equal than the units they replaced. The infestor is a pretty good unit and hopefully, the zerg gets the defiler back as a second spellcaster. I'd rather see another wheeled/tracked mech unit rather than a walker, though. I'm not sure what Blizzard's current obsession with walkers is. The wheel is a proven technology! | ||

I'd say it's a mix of the firebat and the helion. built at the barracks with techlab it will be a very tanky unit, that benefits from combat shield as well, but fire the helion attack or something similar. Making it a firebat style unit, but with more range. Then once you get a factory techlab you can research it to be able to transform into vehicle mode, which turns it into a rough approximation of the helion we know now, a lot faster but a lot more fragile. The purpose behind this is that it has it's 2 forms with very different roles, one being a mainstay army backbone unit to counter light units, and the other as a fast harass unit. This will make countering ling/zealot heavy armies much easier. | ||

They are all point and shoot units that only require micro at the highest levels. Marine splitting/stutter step. Stalker Blink micro/kiting vs Marines/slow lings/slow Roaches Immortals - point taken, but that's like expecting people to micro a Battlecruiser on land. Hydras are only used in drops nowadays, so that's where the micro comes in. Apart from that, it's pretty widely agreed they are a fail unit transfer from BW. Roach - Burrow... pretty much it. Also, for the record the Immortal/Roach/Marauder are all similar add-ons from BW which are tanky units which require little micro and are widely regarded as fail unit designs (even Blizzard doesn't like the Immortal at the moment) | ||

Are you kidding?? That would utterly break the game and make tank pushes go from hard to stop to impossible to stop. | ||

It's basicly a footman + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/14/others/unit-footman.jpg) equipped with 2 shields drenched in gasoline and lit on fire. He used his powerfulll bash attack to smash and incinerate his opponants.+ Show Spoiler + that thing on his back is a firehose. I have spoken. | ||

No, they are good removals to make the game less stale, since the units you list are among the worst spectator and esport-wise. However, Baneling does not really fit on that list, is it not the best designed unit in Star2? I am curious to as why you keep the Corruptor, Stalker and Raven though? | ||

Its not like i'm praying to have the colosus removed (our OP unit) I'm protoss and i want the colossus removed. It doesn't matter if it's OP right now because if they remove it they'll balance accordingly, they're both badly designed units though. | ||

I strongly suspect that protoss is going to get a new anti light ground unit that will be the protoss harrass option as well as the way answer mass marine (rest in hell 1 1 1) before we get out collosus/storm. This transform might be a good counter to that new unit, as hellions might be weak against them too. | ||

or "You can now combine, the hellion, the tank and the thor in single robotic type unit that'll have the health and dps of all units merged, and the speed of the hellion" | ||
