I think the idea is that the reaver is entertaining to watch rather than just that it was in BW. The thing with all these units is that if they were fun to watch in BW then implementing them might be an attractive option. Brood War itself doesn't have much to do with it, it's just that it's the point of reference given the enormous similarities between the two games. | ||

Its slow speed would also prevent it from being a stupid death-bally unity. But then it has to be better than the colossus, because otherwise people will just make colossi instead. It being in the game is one thing, but it has to synergize with everything else. As it is, colossus just 'makes the better army' than what I assume a reaver would. It was amazing in bw because deathball wasn't as much of an issue, simply adding it to sc2 won't make the deathball go away. It would likely either just add to the deathball, or not be made altogether. Its place would probably just be for harass | ||

I feel like the downside to that is that, the manually controlled scarab is 300 gas and dies probably very quickly right after it does its damage. The issue with this is solved, in skirmishes or drop play with a warp prism. But this is not going to be an option against an army that has air units, and it won't be useful in engagements. As Plexa said, if you defended your Reavers, they could do fairly sustained damage in a fight. But the only defense for the is to pick it up AT the range the moment it explodes. At least with a reaver you had a range of 8, which allowed you to fire a scarab from 8 units away, then pick up and reposition. With the 5 range pick up of a warp prism, in a game with a lot of high range air units, the Disruptor is going to be much more limited in terms of how long it remains viable for, and what its uses will be. I would rather have a reaver which I can have the option of using all game long, than the Disruptor which has a timer on its lifetime and which will effectively become replaced by the collossus - an actual 8 range unit with more sustained DPS vs ground than the disruptor. So in short: Concern - the 5 range pick up of a prism is a poor replacement for the 8 range target acquisition of a reaver. Its not really a scarab, because the effective range is much shorter. If it was a 5 range reaver, how would that feel? | ||

It all makes sense to me as well, I hope everything changes before Beta is released, and i'm sure it will. But honestly I wouldn't care like anyone else as long as I get in the beta. I just hope everything is great once the game is released. 300 gas for the disruptor? ...if thats true, it makes no sense lol Obviously want David Kim wants is Protoss players using warp prism / disruptor to in a way replicate shuttle / reaver micro, I think that is the reason the shuttle has the increase range, is so players can unload + start timer + reload / move abot with the warp prism, unload then kill workers, and have some sort of synergy between the two...but will it be possible? Probably not. EDIT : I guess we can just all pray for a 3D BW one day....that is what i'm doing at least.... | ||
