Are we going to take the Hydralisk away from zerg and the Thor(closest terran game losing unit I could think of) away from Terran? Oh wait we are taking the thor lol.... They're getting rid of the thor, really? Last interview I saw Blizzard was talking about giving it a new role because of the warhound. | ||

Thor has some very distinct properties. pretty much the only beefy terran ground unit, a very big size, base armor, and ability to dish out insane dmg on anything other than lings and marines. It has a very distint attack animation delay, after moving, or switching from air to ground attack. Being quite slow, it has to be used as a stable mush like siege tanks, but with cute differences. much shorter range effective against what tanks are not and weak against what tanks are good at. being bulkier, in some situations, it can be a very cute buffer. I mean, we can all call thor a "a move unit" but how many times we saw thor get demolished without doign anything, and how many times we saw them pulling amazing stands when we were sure they will got demoelished. sure there is something there. some players are just creating these situations were thors really exel at. I see no reason the trade such a unit for a stalker proxy. | ||

perhaps a speed increase to carriers or increased durability would be nice you COULD get void rays/phoenix to help out, but it still wouldnt be the same type of carrier style seen in BW | ||

Honestly, can someone from blizzard honestly say WHY they are taking the carrier out? | ||
