I think bringing back the lurker is the best thing they could make for the zerg. The lurker is an iconic unit and make me feel like "good'ol broodwar days". They should do the same for the reaver. The Reaver is literally the only thing I'm asking for Poll: Protoss should gets Reaver in LotV Yes (547) No (370) 917 total votes Your vote: Protoss should gets Reaver in LotV | ||

Although if the tank change remains I might just play Terran because medivac+tank plays very similarly to the reaver+prism. On November 10 2014 07:17 nkr wrote: What role would the reaver fill? It doens't make any sense to add reavers while there's the colossus ;/ Good question. Functionally, it allows Blizzard to retune the Colossus to fulfill a more specific niche rather than multi-purpose destroy everything unit. Reavers in BW weren't ever something that you could mass to ridiculous numbers except in certain circumstances -- slow fire rate and the slow speed of scarabs meant that too many reavers would fire on the same target and a lot of the extra shots would be wasted. While the Colossus over AoE over time, the Reaver offers large bursts of AoE akin to the disruptor at the moment. However the Reaver also fulfils a siege role and is useful vs ultralisks when defended properly. Disruptors at this point in the game are either effectively mines (detonate and die) or win-more units, I feel the Reaver offers more rich gameplay for those reasons. | ||

I'm pretty sure Blizzard will deliver, there is more for Protoss in the works than was shown. Indeed, tweets suggest there is another new unit for Protoss in the works that was not at Blizzcon. (Pls Dark Archon) | ||

Something early on to stop cyclones maybe? Heheh. Kidding of course. I don't think Dark Archon would have much role in sc2. Units don't stack as much as the muta ball in bw. | ||

(Pls Dark Archon) What was the difference between Archon and Dark Archon? Didn't play BW. I think to remember it could cast storm? Edit: Oh no it was Feedback, I knew it was a HT spell  . And Maelstrom and Mind Control, interesting.http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Dark_Archon | ||

Unlike SC2, you couldn't merge different templar. x2 Dark Templar = Dark Archon. While HTs combined to give a very powerful attacking unit, two DTs combined to create a spellcaster only unit. The Dark Archon had three abilities; feedback (same as HT feedback in sc2), maelstrom (brief AoE stun on biological units only) and Mind Control (take over a unit permanently, DA loses all shields in the process). While those spells don't need to come back, the concept of an incredibly powerful archon mage (and the possibility of a hybrid archon) was something I've always wanted to see in SC2 | ||

The concept of Hts and Dts morphing to different archons is awesome, I'd definitely want to see that  . | ||

Admittedly it's the Reaver, which, honestly, I agree with 100%, if it weren't for the fact that we're getting both the new Disruptor and the pick up at range Warp Prism ability, which together seem like they will basically fulfill the same role as Reaver/Shuttle. But I would give up both the Disruptor and Colossus in a heartbeat to have the old Reavers back in action. I just don't think Blizzard is going to cut any pre-existing units at this point. | ||

Little funny how hard time they have to make up new units, meaning every new unit is just a BW one. The one thing cool about the Reaver though, is that they aren't just another Orb/Spider looking unit. Oracle, Sentry, Mothership Core for orbs and Stalker/Immortal/Colossus for Spider looking. Something a lot more ancient looking would be cool, or more humanoids/energy forms. | ||
