well you play Zerg thats for sure it's nearly impossible to deal with a late game zerg infestor brood lord without a mothership


because blizzard balanced shit around the fact that the mothership existed.

now if the mothership never existed imagine how they might have changed some units?

the game would be FAR better off without these bullshit OMG HERO TO THE RESCUE PEW PEW SHOOOOM TORNADO PUNCH units

OP sounds mad. Although I don't agree with the hero units being in the game either, the way the OP is put is just terrible. Extremely biased and doesn't present the case from more than one angle, which it seems obvious he's been on the receiving end off.

Why are there only dumbass vote options?
I would like to vote for all of the following:
-) as long as they work well and are interesting i dont care
-) i dont care about the OPs balance whining and his own little attitudes of "how rts should work"
-) looking forward to the ubermegaultraomegalisk in LotV

Motherships are actually incredibly awesome.
I think that people need to give them a chance. I think recall could be used defensively/offensively way more.
And, um, 8 people had their armies vortexed, punched a wall, and broke their hand, then voted on TL? o_O

im sorry next time ill make sure to PM u ahead of time to see what polls u would like to have? sorry if they arent up to ur intellectual standards but clearly u r dumb enough to think its only my own "little attitude of how rts should work" when nearly 99% of the people voting so far are have down right agreed with me so maybe its u who should check ur attitude and maybe not try to belittle peoples postings by using words such as "dumbass vote options". No one likes an ignorant disrespectful moron on a forum so if u dont got anything nice to say dont post it
JD, need I say more? :D

You do realize that HotS didnt come out yet? You have no idea whether the Thor is going to be broken or not.

I disagree. I think this type of unit is fine.

Anyway, it's always hilarious when people rip into Blizzard as a terrible company or a failure, when all their games are widely acclaimed and absurdly successful :D

SC2 is one of the best competitive RTS games in years, and certainly the most successful.

P.S. Arbiters were once considered imba.

Blizzard is clueless about competitive rts. They've proven it over and over. We should just accept it and move on imo.

mega thor is the stupidest idea ever. If all races had a mega unit... its ok but not great. But one racing having it is a joke.
Inno pls...

I agree it's a bit silly to have hero units in Starcraft, but I have a feeling this isn't going to be the punch in the face that'll make Blizzard fix the problems SC has.

Also a plain "no" option in the poll would be useful.

I have the distinct feeling you've never had your army vortex'ed before.

I actually find Vortex more furstrating than Fungal Growth. Although, that might be because I can use Fungal myself...

Does Blizzard really intend for these units to appeal to casual players?

Do they understand that casual players don't play 1v1, and 1v1 will NEVER appeal to casual players?

Why not pick the battles you can win? They've built all this monetization around appealing to casual players - UMS web shop, tournament tickets, there's plenty of stuff to attract and be sticky to casual players, why not leave competitive 1v1 the way it is.

I can think of and have heard of many, many solutions to the vortex problem, including shooting infested terrans into the vortex and putting banelings into the vortex...

This is aside from the obvious solution of spreading out your brood lords (etc)

Talk to Browder. He's the culprit. In fact, I think he said that he actually wanted more hero-like units in WoL, but the rest of the design team shot him down.

Warcraft 3 anyone? Heroes is a no-no in SC2, but I wouldn't call the MS a hero. Just a technical unit that are useful in certain situations.

Why the hell does Blizzard add these units into the game without asking the people THAT PLAY THE FUCKING GAME what they think?
