We don't know what the Z and T units are. We have educated guesses at their basic function but that is all.


Mark my words
They will look dumb

Their functionality? we have some educated guesses, but can't know for sure

all i meant was that they will look dumb

Protoss unit is late!

Where is it?

New theory.

The Protoss unit's preview is slow in arriving.

What Protoss unit is excruciatingly slow?

That's right. THE REAVER.

As a result, I'm pretty sure it's a Reaver or Reaver-variant, or perhaps even a cloaked Reaver assuming that my previous theory is correct.


Uh... every unit except the phoenix, speed warp prism, and the stalker is excruciatingly slow compared to bio with stim or anything zerg has excluding the hydra.

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.


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.

Yes, but this is my point: You shouldn't design 'harass' units. 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.

Blizz did say they were going to "un-nerf" the reaper. So I would expect to see reapers a lot more in HoTS.

Hopefully they un-nerf it to the engineering bay, and not just the tech lab

Yes at this point we're just concerned with the cartooney aesthetics and proportions of the units.

Is the art team trying to capture the WC3/LoL/WoW crowd? It's the only explanation...

I don't see how anything in WoL is more stylized than anything in SC1, which had robot slugs and walking eggs that shot rockets.

Question: If Blizzard lifted off their headquarters and flew west across the pacific what is the latest time (EST) they could release it and still be "sooner than Tuesday" for them?


We cannot answer this question because we do not know the speed of the lifted off Blizzzard Headquarters.

Unless it's very clearly and obviously the silhouette of a reaver, there are going to be people saying it looks dumb and hundreds of 'this is retarded Blizzard doesn't know what they're doing' posts.

Get ready to be blown away, this unit does some no one here will EVER suspect. This is going to be such a game changer... I can already imagine so many protosses, especially collosi lovers, to complain about this.
Interesting choice, Blizzard.
