StarCraft is not the place for the hero unit and I'm glad that the Mothership will be gone, although.. I wouldn't have an idea of how to deal with broodlords after the expansion...

Guys, hero units are solely designed to be used by bronze level players. Blizzard knows full well they are not viable in high level gameplay, and have commented on it before. They make hero units just so the scrubs can pick up the game and say "holy shit, look at that big thing, I'm going to make that!"

Either way if you think THIS is the reason they fail as a company now you're mistaken. It is THIS and everything else they do that fucking blows. They've sold out like many other companies. Too bad. Buy 3 games then finally receive the whole SC2 game. Balance for the moronic bronze leaguers who complain all day. Create the worst maps put those into the ladder which causes map pools for the tournaments to be shit as well except maybe the GSL. Now, they're making D3 and I bet once we reach the end game that will be shit as well.


Yes, fail as a company. That's why Blizzard is one of the most successful and well-known video game developers of all time. You're just bitter about game features and changes you don't necessarily agree with.

Thor is probably only a hero unit because Blizzard decided to replace the Thor with the warhound. But if they just removed the Thor completely, people who bought the collector's edition would not have their unique model. So Thor becomes a hero unit, and it's probably gonna be useless in competetive play.

Hey man, I think it worked pretty well in Age of Mythology: Titans. I like the way they did it. fun game aspect, but if they do do that, they should make it a more fun, better unit, that is completely unnecessary, and to raise the supply level. Imagine a 15 supply Massive hero unit, mixed in a 300/300 army, vs another army of the same caliber.

And another thing, the hero unit shoudn't be a spell casting support uber like the mothership, but it should be a tank with an aura.

While I agree that Starcraft doesn't need a hero unit, this poll probably has one of the most biased options I have seen in a really long time

What exactly are you trying to say?
Mothership is imba? Lol wtf?! Try to win against broodlord+infester without it..
It can be build only one time, I want my broodlords or ultras only one at a time as well? Hmm.. okay.
I don't really understand why you want a one at the time unit as well, if you want it ( I have trouble, understanding your point). If the game is balanced, as it is or as it hopefully will be, when Terran gets the hero Thor, I'm fine with it.
Your rant (as I understand it) just sounds like "every race should be exactly the same!"

its more like his rant, that he doesnt want any super units, or every race to have 1 super unit, as he seems its silly that the mothership will be removed, then terran gets a superunit. and the issue is that he also makes a point that the mothership's vortex is awfully strong.

personally i would prefer no race to have a superunit, and if its a must that we have 1, why not all 3 races have theirs... I mean seriosly its not like the zerg doesnt already have a superunit, The leviathan, and terran is getting the SP thor with its SP abilities from WoL... Protoss already have the mothership, so why not have a party?

The very concept of a hero unit in SC pisses me off and makes me want to pee in Dustin Bowder's eyes.

First of all Mothership *is* imba, sure Protoss has a difficult time dealing with Infestor/Broodlord combo but that's a balance issue that can't be resolved with simply introducing a unit like the Mothership which simply makes the battles incredibly one-sided. Second of all if Zerg had a hero unit it wouldn't be the Ultra or BL, it would be an entirely different unit, Protoss already has two Massive units and then the Mothership on top of it all just for kicks and giggles. No I don't think every race should be the same and the races aren't even close to being the same with or without hero units, I simply think the introduction of hero units is stupid and entirely uncharacteristic of Starcraft and it is entirely unwanted by the community at large.

I love how this guy wasn't even warned, mods are probably enjoying Christmas or on vacation. Most obviously the OP's grammar is awful, but that aside, not only did he provide absolutely no argument whatsoever as to why hero units are intrinsically bad, but he spent the entire top half his post balance whining about vortex. It makes me really sad that a post like this flew past the radar, the only reason I can think of is that it looks sensible by having lots of text and a few pictures, it's only when you read the drivel that you realise there's absolutely nothing of substance there.

One could argue that the mothership is fine, and one of the only real non air ways of dealing with broodlords.

I could say broodlords, even without upgrades spawn broodlings, that not only soak insane amounts of damage, also dealing a lot.
But
wait
theres
more
The broodlord is also the only air unit profiting from upgrades of your core army. Upgrading zerglings also makes your broodlords stronger.
Broodlings / lords also dont require any micro, or a lot of skill to use. 4 broodlords make a 150 supply army twice as good.

Anyway, i still agree with you that there should be no hero units in the game or one for each race. I also think the mothership would have become well balanced in HOTS since the viper gets the pull thing.
