Another one of those 'cool' idea's. Perhaps once the friendship is out, it will force a draw. Much like a Wonder would cause an insta win in AoE | ||

Couple that with colossus removal though, and the SC2 native players will go into a frenzy of cheers. | ||

Imagine how people would react to the shield battery. A 4 gate with proxy shield battery would be legendary. | ||

But then they see it one-shots marines in clumps of 10 at a time, maybe two-shot marauders. And they they see a video of a reaver drop. Then they see it decimate entire armies when you have two or three. | ||

They will just make it move faster when powered by a pylon or warp prism, forcing protoss to work on their psi spread. | ||

Hm.. Since the Protoss Unit is last... Since the Hype is building up so much... I think , they'll try to announce Blizzcon with a final BANG. And since they already mentioned, Protoss is lacking real harass units, it has to be the reaver. Why does everyone think they would actually put a BW unit back in the game. If they didn't want to keep it when SC2 came out, they aren't going to put it back in. | ||

Protoss needs a capital ship.... they're the freakin super advanced aliens I'm not convinced the carrier has to go. I saw hongun use them at MLG, and they weren't that bad - void rays might have been better, or a ground army, but that's not the point. I think there are tweaks that could be made to the carrier (heal interceptors when they go inside the ship, maybe one shot instead of two to reduce armor problems, make the carrier more micro-able like it was in BW) that could put them back into the game in a serious role. As for this zerg unit... I really hope it's not a "zerg seige tank" like it looks. We have Broods for that. I would like it to be a mutation of the roach that actually DOES the tanking job roaches were designed to fill - then we could change roaches a little bit to give them a more specific role as well. Maybe it can switch modes, just like a seige tank but it switches from an offensive mode (pictured) where it attacks at x rate, moves at x rate, etc. to a "defensive mode" - picture the bubble coming forward as a shield/armor covering? - and reduces damage by a given amount, like the immortal shields, but also cuts movement speed and attack damage. Would be sweet, and would really add positional strength and defenders advantage to zerg imo. | ||
