Speed is one factor in harassment. It is not the only one. Cheapness, unit abilities, strength, warp prisms, map design, etc. are others. Doesn't change the fact that every unit is a harass unit. | ||

Ehh it was a nice little thing to look forward to this morning, but a delay isn't a big deal. Seeing as how Blizzard is infamous for delaying things, it was expected I guess, even if it was something as simple as a silhouette of an already completed unit :/. It's not unlikely. A blue post on the forum already confirmed that the picture will arrive "later than "now" sooner than tuesday.". So it's coming sometime today. | ||

The lurker was such an important unit to the Zergs in BW when I first picked up SC2 i was very disappointed not to see some kind of stationary siege type unit. Then again a defiler wouldn't be so bad lol. | ||

Bio doesn't arrive quickly, it's quick once it arrives. You can't stim the whole way to a preview, you'll be dead before you get there. | ||

Doesn't change the fact that every unit is a harass unit. Oh come on, just because you can literally do harass with every unit doesn't make them harass units. A harass unit is a unit which is extremely useful in the role of harass, and is primarily suited to harass. Mutalisks for example, which are fast, and are great for poking and doing damage in undefended areas, but suck in straight up fights, are a harass unit. Reapers, which suck in fights but are great for picking off undefended buildings and workers are a harass unit. Sure, you can technically harass with a colossus, but that doesn't make it a harass unit. | ||

I remember Boxer doing that once on Tal'Darim and his army immediately died as soon as it touched the enemy's (which was incidentally a Protoss, although he would have immediately died against anyone). Also my comment was clearly joking in nature. | ||

You should design units that may be used for harassing. How much reaper harass have you seen lately from the 'harass' unit? Hardly any. But I've seen HT/DT/Zealot/Stalker/Sentry/Immortal harass all within the last few weeks. | ||
