Why are you guys so adamant in giving every race a dragoon-like unit? Zerg in Brood War used to be the race of fast, damaging, but fragile and easily countered units. Terran used to be the race of ranged units that required very deliberate movement and positioning. With the Roach and the Marauder, you've lessened the importance of those aspects in their respective races and given us two high-hp, fairly bland, one-dimensional, attack move units. Was this done entirely for the purpose of giving new players a simplistic, effective brute force unit?

Why bother keeping the thor if your just going to make it mothership-esqe?
I swear that's gotta be so LotV can be perfect or something :/
I suppose what I'm saying is "Can you take the thor out?"

At what point do you realise TvT is lame and actually remove tanks.


What? No, go the other direction, mech vs. mech is awesome.

Dustin previously worked on a previous C&C, don't know which one though.This maybe comes from there.

Completely diregarding racial balance please ask dustin browder why he decided the racial identity of all three races is as it is?

In Starcraft 1, all 3 races had very well defined racial narrative. You had Protoss: Strong pound for pound best units with psionics. Zerg: The aggressors and set the tone of the matches. They also had the swarm feeling as well as spreading across the map. Terran: The defenders with weak infantry but a strong entrenched positions. They had to sit turtled into their base meaning they didn't have map control.

In Starcraft 2, Zerg's racial narrative is pretty consistent, but Protoss and Terran are not. Terran have pound for pound the strongest units, and they have map control with marauders and marines as they waddle around in the center of the map. Protoss no longer have the strongest spellcasters.

Please ask him, what is the racial identity/narrative of each race in Starcraft 2? Is it different? Is it the same? If it is different ask him why he changed the racial narrative to be as it is. And if it is the same as Starcraft 1, ask him why units such as the marauder and marine completely go against that racial narrative?

I'm actually curious, of all the people that work on balance and/or adding new units or maps..Who has the highest ladder rank on Bnet.

I'm not saying that this would be indicative of anything, I'm just curious because I can't see any player over Platinum being in favor of close positions on a map like shattered or thinking that the new Zerg units Death Grip ability is balanced.
