Well, given there's a unit which can make a Black Hole, a race designed around the ability to TELEPORT, an ability which makes an army of Marines for you instantly and an ability which mind controls other units - and there's the whole Terran race, I guess - I think a baneling launcher could work.



how do i make an army of marines??? i wanna do that


1) Somehow get a shit-ton of Infestors.

2) Use the Infested Terran ability

3) ???

4) Profit.

I'm not saying it's overpowered, I just mean that from the sound of it that ability would be really overpowered. It probably isn't IMO, and if Blizzard can balance that they can balance Baneling launchers. Hopefully.

Its just a picture of an overlord raping a hydralisk. The real unit will be their lovechild, the overlisk.

People would of said the same thing about the colossus before release if they just gave us an outline. "@anyone who thinks lasers that can shoot up to range 9 and do aoe damage from this unit is dumb". The fact is though, that you can balance almost anything with the right modifications to stats...


Yeh, but the collossus is just a horrid a-move unit that is only effective in a blob. Hopefully it will get replaced, no idea what blizzard was thinking when they designed it.



if anything is going to get replaced for toss its the M ship.

A good way to throw people off when releasing a silhouette like this is to play off peoples assumptions, have something resembling mandibles and put it in the front, the natural conclusion is that its the face... looking closely at the silhouette I cant help but think that blizzard is playing a trick on us and is in fact displaying a lurker from behind.


I see it now that you mention it! Well its a possibility... Hopefully they do a full reveal at blizzcon T_T


These three units, as well as the rest of the new Heart of the Swarm multiplayer units and abilities, will be unveiled and playable at the show on October 21 and 22.

1 more week until my hopes of a reaver are crushed!


Toss never get a reaver , they got to many AOE , splash units already .. get real


Dustin Browder said in the CatZ interview that the colossus should be removed and that toss need a harass unit. Two birds with one stone?

But then again, the new warp prism is pretty good harass.

If the colossus gets removed I will be the happiest protoss on Aiur.

The reaver is already in the game. It's the infestor. When the zerg infested Aiur, they took over the reaver facilities ^^

Funnily enough, it actually does look like a reverse Hydra Roach XD. I can't wait to see the Protoss one! Partly so I can fantasise about using it, but also because I predict a bunch of people are going to whine about it and say it has no chance of 'saving' Protoss.

To attack with lurkers you had to move up pretty close and burrow, giving the defending player a chance to run away or focus fire them down.)



explain why u think that? a sige range unit for zerg can be "zergy" easily depending on design. have u ever seen the movie starship troopers? i often compare zerg to "the bugs" in that movie. in that movie they had some kind of tank like beatle that could launch acidic blobs at extremly long ranges.

if they make the siege unit for zerg a organic slow walking mobile unit then i can easily see it working.


I'm talking more about design than theme. This is less true in SC2, but Zerg in BW was about fast, in your face units that would overwhelm the opponent and push him back. That Zerg had no ground siege unit was an asymmetry that made for interesting gameplay.


Well considering we have no clue on the range or movement speed of this unit so far you are assuming that it is slow and does a ton of damage. Maybe it is fast, can take enough damage to get underground and siege a small area ~5 range. Until then we can only deduce what it looks like and not what it is capable of.

A unit with 5 range is not a siege unit (edit: in the sense that I meant it, which is a unit with siege range like the Colossus with TL).

Unless it looks like a Reaver. In which case SC2 fans will be cleaning their keyboards of jizz all over the world.
