Expecting a morph upgrade in the roach den or hydra lair for this 2.5 unit. Probably 200 minerals 100 gas or something. Its either aoe siege, or single target long range unit that can also attack air (less likely but hey). | ||

The head is definitely a Hydralisk head, especially if you do a side-by-side comparison. The Roach head is way too different to be related, and the features on the top of this head are too similar to that of the Hydralisk. Although the front legs look somewhat like Roach legs, it also can be argued that they are morphs of Hydralisk legs. In addition, the Roach has six legs while this only has four (from what can be seen/guessed in the picture). I think it would be illogical for the Roach to lose legs when it morphs. Yea you're right, the head looks like Hydralisk, or even Lurker. Maybe it could be a slightly modified version of Lurker. | ||

I miss just being able to put 4-5 lurkers in a pathway or at the top of a ramp and not having to worry about any enemy movement in that area ever again. From the looks of it it's gonna be a siege tank like unit, so hopefully it can shut down areas of the map as well as siege tanks can  yes yes yes YES! | ||

Hopefully it's some anti air unit, and they're using it to replace the corrupter. | ||

It has 2 claws, it has no legs, just a "tail" that morphed into a cannon. The head is just the same, I fail to see where people are finding "roach", it is a hidralisk. Now, what it will do with its new tail, that's the question! | ||

It will most likely be a little like Thors, probably horribly slow but strong vs mutalisks or lots of banshees. I think someone on Reddit mentioned that it would be interesting if the unit had different roles depending on if it is burrowed or unburrowed. Perhaps if it's unburrowed, it would be an anti-air unit as you mentioned. However, if it's burrowed, it might become a positional, vs ground siege unit. | ||

I hope they just took the outline of the actual units and added something to it just to fuck with everybody, because that basically looks like a lurker with a turtle shell. | ||

Hopefully it's some anti air unit, and they're using it to replace the corrupter. I rather there be a dedicated siege role unit than a slow roach that is a moving tank. Siege units allow defenders advantage and having a mainstay siege type unit for each race makes the game different (and better imo). | ||

And if we have to find a non-fitting unit between the siege units, that would be the colossi, since it's not slow like the other two (and siege units should conceptually be slow and/or fragile since they have long range) IMHO it's a substitute for the roach. Roach isn't really liked, so maybe: - Roach Removed - Hydra back to T1 tweaked as the main damage dealer - This as an evolution for the Hydra as a meatshield unit like the roach once was. Maybe as a special ability they burrow and form a wall with a lot of HP/armor as pseudo-forcefields. Or they can attack from burrowed too in some ways. Maybe its because I am just so used to them now but I dont see why people want roaches out of the game completely. Also blizzard would never do that as we have already seen clips of the roach being used heavily in single player, and they wouldn't just take it out for no reason. Also I know firebats were used like that but roaches are a staple unit for all three matchups. They need to tweak the hydra but the roach is fine. | ||
