This will be entirely one of the best strats possible with this, grab 3-4 colossus to you then NP from the safe range, no way they can get in close enough to the infestors at that point with their army without going right through the zerg's army. | ||

The THOR will become what I suppose was it's initial conception. A super unit, with a massive punch... | ||

I'm thinking maybe it loses its light classification and gains a point of armor or something. I don't see how its health could get changed upon transforming. | ||

I hope I turn out to be completely wrong and these units are all awesome and the game becomes very balanced. But I literally face palmed when I read the OP. This just looks like a bunch of people got drunk and threw out ridiculous ideas, and then every one stayed drunk for the next 12 months continuing to develop them. I predict they are going to have many "emergency" balance patches when people start figuring out how to abuse the hell out of this stuff. | ||

Although spells that encourage micro aren't "gimmicks" in any sense. The dragoon was a terribly designed unit. Any unit that is terribly clunky for no reason and often glitches and fucks you over is not superbly designed. Besides, 99% of what you could do with a goon you can do with a stalker, it's just that you aren't fighting the same units. | ||

A real harass unit is pretty much needed, not just an "overseer" type of unit that won't actually kill any workers and you can't skill with. Not to mention that two units are actually removed as well, carrier and mothership. | ||

It was a hard to micro unit specifically because it's pathing algorithim was poorly designed. That was not on purpose, at all. It turned out to be a great unit sheerly by luck, not by purposeful design. | ||

Why come up with new strategies when most of them are going to be invalidated/need to be heavily modified come HotS release? Are the games played today really going to be cared about 2-3 years from now, or are they going to be forgotten as "vanilla" games? You might call MC a lame-duck president | ||

I'm thinking maybe it loses its light classification and gains a point of armor or something. I don't see how its health could get changed upon transforming. Seems pretty worthless tbh. Hellions mobility was always more useful in terms of survivability than HP was. It'll only be useful if the transformation time is pretty much zero. Any sort of delay on that and it'll only be used in big set-piece battles where Hellions are already not really useful. | ||
