Awkward proportions and negative space, a little too humaniform, unpolished and assymetrical.

this man just took the words out of my mouth
It just looks very awkward. Not to mention the AA attack just doesn't have enough 'oomph' to it
The Warhound suffers the same issue I have with the hellion in terms of unit art design; it just looks like a step back from their predecessor (ex. hovering super bike that can 2 shot workers and plant most cost effective units 3 times vs a dunebuggy with a flamethrower?)

overhaul the attack animation while you're at it.

Screw the OP's choice of poll options - it looks like something from Mechwarrior and THAT'S why I like it.

This guy nailed it.
The model is ugly. Also there needs to be a picture of it in the OP.

The purpose of this thread is to collect general opinion and hopefully make Blizzard redesign this otherwise promising unit. sounds objective. your poll has a nice set of options too. im sure blizzard will listen hahaha same reaction here.

What a brave move, do you feel justified now that you quoted an obvious troll? I mean, you come here, write a bunch of words, don't vote and then even admit you don't feel like voting because the pool didn't meet your usual standards? My intention was not to make a poll that would be put as an example of poll worth including into your final theses.. Now that I think about it I really should've included one more option like "Viper OP" so that people who really feel the need to say something trollish would just vote right there and not proceed to write something stupid absolutely not contributing to anything beside their egos..

imo just make vikings faster and more microable vs mutas
|
Okay I'm not into all those HotS threads too much, but this one is important: the warhound looks fucking awful.
Please make it Goliath mk2 with those anti-mech weapon instead of a machine gun, everybody happy.
|
IMO its too big, i thought it would´ve been more of a goliath size unit, i don´t really like it as it is, but maybe they´ll work on the model
|
I agree.
In the art, it doesn't look that bad. It's a robot that looks terran-ish and realistic. However, when they translated it in the game... idk, it just looks BAD. Look at how it moves, it's like a stick figure. It doesn't look cool at all. It has too many appendages imo (or weapons or whatever you want to call it). In the art you can make that look cool since it's 2D, but in 3D it's just a flat piece of metal walking very stiffly.
Please fix haha. I do not want to mass an ugly unit. Massing Thors is super fun partly cus they look so cool (especially if you have collector's edition, which i don't xD)
Also I think their attack (at least for ground) looks dumb too. It shoots some big bullet out slowly. I think it would be pretty cool for it to be some kind of machine gun actually  . But I guess they want it to be a projectile. Even the attack and attack animations look dumb though.
I think the size is fine but really it's just the unit that is ugly. Also it is so very tall, so for the collision size they are going for I think that's why it looks so big. (They want the unit to be wide enough to be bigger than bio units, like the size of a stalker, but the design of the unit is really tall so it looks huge)
|
Looking at it from above i guess it looks okay, but it's shooting animation looks so strange, really would like to see that fixed at least. Haven't gotten to see it AA-attack yet, if anyone has any links where we could see it i would appreciate it
The Goliath was way cooler =/

Mechwarriors are cool and this has some resemblance to it but they need to fix/polish it up =/

I was hoping for something like this when I first heard the name Warhound. Could have been a awesome replacement for the Predator in the singleplayer making it lorewise an upgraded version.

We need it to have a melee attack and still be strong vs. siege lines. *THAT* would be cool.
I've been hoping that Terran would share Protoss and Zerg pain w/ at least one melee unit for a long time!

I think its just too big. I dont like the sc2 goliath design either but thats how it is
|
It looks like a souped up SCV. It needs to look less like a toy and more like a Goliath or Thor.
Also, holy shit, This: + Show Spoiler +
|
I agree... Looking closely, I guess that's the reason why I say it looks so fragile. I mean look at those arms and the radar dish. You mean to tell me that flimsy looking thing can stand up to the nightmare Zerg, indomintable Terran siege lines and Protoss stalker particle beamsof destruction?
It looks it can barely make it to the other side of the base without something falling off.
I mean COME ON. D:

Terran needs less two stilted robots and more rugged compact track vehicles.
Would be cool to have big nasty blocky hunk of metal with tracks going around the whole hull and just a the weapons sticking out. Turrets on top for fast air tracking, but the ground attack at the front with slower turnaround for aiming. Add tactical complexity and micro to the game.
Even the hellion morph should not become 2 legged, get less surface area and protect the wheels more.

wow are we twins because when I first heard "Warhound" I was actually really hoping for a turret on tracks hahaha
pity it didnt happen, though I think alot of people would hate our design more than this
