If the Thor is being switched out in place for the wannabe Goliath (just put the Goliath back in blizzard.. Its more a case of you won't admit you were wrong, and are making unneeded decisions trying to still prove you didn't make a mistake, rather than man up) Why can't the colossus be adapted.. made smaller.. something. If it overlaps with the carrier.. and everyone hates it.. both as part of balance discussions and death-ball mechanics... why the hell is it still there?

Keep the carrier.. adjust or dump the Colossus.

Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Are there any strong Carrier builds out there? That would be the place to start toactually experiment and give it a presence on ladder - then Blizzard would notice - I'm assuming that's the intention.

Really hoping for the Carrier to stay and maybe Blizzard would look at the Colossus and the general Deathball style of Protoss instead so the Carrier can maintain its role, instead of having it overlap. It's extremely dull and uninteresting to both players and viewers IMO.

Here's hoping for the Colossus to get replaced with a non-Deathball AoE unit. (/prays for Reaver-style unit)


That's my thought as well, instead of removing the carrier, remove the colossus. Put the reaver, or another better designed than the colossus (not hard) siege unit into the game for protoss.

Even if the carrier does not get buffed, then it'll be like the SC:BW equivalent of the Scout.

I get that they want SC2 to be completely different from BW.

But please Blizzard listen to the community. I have not seen a single person who says Carrier should go. Not a sinlge one. Save the Carrier please

The carrier shouldn't be removed because it doesn't have a role now. Blizzard should not remove units from the game because no one is using them.

For example, in brood war, units such as the Devourer, Queen, Scout etc. are rarely used, but should they be removed from the game? No. They are not imbalanced, but they are unique in their own way and should not be touched.

Maybe buff templar/storm as your primary AOE for light/clumped units, remove colossus, replace with carrier to fulfill siege role? Of course you'd have to rejig a lot of things about the other races too - or at least make the colossus a more interesting unit

I'd like to see it stay as well, but it's a big underperformer.


*Brood War comparison in spoiler, but not looking to start the BW v SC2 fight.*

+ Show Spoiler +
BW was different because units didn't move like they do in SC2. The clumping and pathing in SC2 allows for situations that could have never taken place in BW. Everything seems like it's designed to just huddle in a ball and move. When a group of carriers approaches a clump of hydras, the player typically focus fires the carriers, and it goes down hard. Or if it approaches stalkers, not only do you have a clump, but you have a clump that can BLINK forward or backward. Thors also scare the shit out of me if I have carriers. And of course, these units are seldom the only unit in the composition, so there's tons of other shit to have to worry about. The Carrier just doesn't seem like it was designed to work with SC2 as fluidly as it was in BW.

Although Carriers aren't used much, they do make an appearance once in a while.

If they tweaked the carrier a bit, it will be used much more. Even now they can be viable and do tremendous amounts of damage. I'm a mid-high master player and I used carriers in some of my games and had great success with them. Only problem is they are very fragile (corruptors, hydra, viking , marines) and extremely situational, but with some minor buffs I believe they can play a huge role in the PvX late game. Also they are super fun! Nothing is more rewarding then when you fly into your opponents base with 10 carriers 3-3-3 :D

I feel like the carrier has more potential if they were to tweak it a little, like maybe the drone's could fly off on their own idk there's so many posibilities for great game play but hell lets just stick to the Fing tempest becuase mutas are imba

You clearly haven't read the whole thread.

Also, I don't know why so many people jump on the kill-colossus bandwagon. They want to get rid of the unit that is working as intended to keep the unit that is essentially useless.

They don't need to overlap though. In BW, Reavers didn't overlap with Carriers. I really have no idea where this silly argument that they intrinsically overlap with Colossus came from. They attack air, they have a larger range, they fly. There is so much different about them. All that they need are a few tweaks so that they are less vulnerable and are actually capable of leaving fights.

The most important argument for me is the iconic nature of the unit. I hope it stays.

PLEASE! For the love of all things protoss, get rid of the damned Colossi. It is ruining all the matchups. Give us back the Reaver!
