Terran - Reaper will be removed from the game; the new unit is an upgrade for the hellion that allows it to transform. It will have a jetpack to leap up walls like the reaper. Armory required for tech. Zerg - Long-ranged (10) ground unit. Possibly a hydralisk evolution. The unit is slow and launches big globs of goo that hit Air or Ground (with bonus damage to armored), but when it hits an Air unit, it deals additional splash damage to ground (goo rains down). It would be useful in dealing with protoss deathballs which include colossus and/or void rays, and medivac drops. Protoss - Air-to-Ground Bomber unit. It has a cooldown for building a single bomb, then it can fly in and drop the bomb before running out. Harassment unit (worker lines) but could also work like a vulnerable-but-faster seeker missile in battles. Ability: temporary speed boost with instant turn rate. | ||

but before anything, i really hope blizzard updates the Carriers so they can return to their old glory. how bad they are in SC2 (well, i guess except for a handful of specific situations) is really insulting to the entire Protoss race. the symbol of the legend of fall needs to be revived | ||

You only see them as novelty in lategame TvT. I think Blizz just missed the boat with T3 units in general. | ||

If it's a flying reaver I'm switching to protoss. IDK, it looks awfully similar to the phoenix if you think about function. It's gotta be a spellcaster. | ||
