I hope its a Lurker type unit, does not have to be a carbon copy of it but that unit was so cool and unique. Reason nobody wants the Scout, Firebat etc is because those units were kinda lame and crappy, not even the most devoted BW fan will defend those units, but Lurker and Reaver are 2 units SC2 desperatly needs, they were awesome. | ||

Personally i hope it's a lurker, zerg could using some siege tech beyond the Broodlord, which are way to vulnerable on their own. So a Broodwar-esque lurker would be fantastic. I was under the impression the Lurker was already in the game, just not accessible beyond UMS. Seems strange to go to all the effort of creating a new lurker when the old one would do just fine. I'm hoping for something like a land-variation of the BW Devourer. Spew debuffing gunk over mass Roaches, Deathballs and Siegetank lines | ||

Same reason i dont like the Marauder (which Artosis explains perfectly).

The Lurker had a range of 6. The only time it's ever anything like the siege tank is before the other player has detection. The two units are very very different. | ||

However Lurker is needed and no i dont agree that its a typical "siege unit", the unit had alot of roles, siege, stealth, harrasment etc. One of the complaints early in SC2 was that Zerg just could not abuse ramps as much as the other 2 races, one of the reasons maps such as LT and Kulas Ravine (lol) were generally disliked. Lurker fills that role really well, it also gives Zerg a proper stealth unit and a way to slaughter Marines. It would also force Terrans get Ravens, which in turn would force them to utilize them more and it would overall just improve the TvZ matchup with more layers of depth. | ||

I don't know though, I doubt Blizzard would make a unit that was essentially a Zerg siege tank. Maybe it's melee for ground attacks and ranged for air? | ||
