I'm assuming that they serve as anti-zerg/infantry, but I can name a handful of other toss units that can do that well (templars, dark templars, reavers, etc.). It appears to also be a very mobile unit for toss, but I thought stalkers will specialize in that purpose. All in all, the role of soul hunters seem destined to either be so specific that they really only serve to counter 1 or 2 strats (very WC3like), or the units will be so well-rounded that they will replaced several other units. Because you know, SC/BW had no units that were specific counters for 1/2 strats right? Until you play the game and figure out the unit and econ timings, the role is hard to determine. I say this thread needs to be put on hold until we figure out how it fits in the game on a whole. | ||

Green lasers dont fit anyways. Blue and Yellow lasers look much better for Toss.. Red lasers for Terran, and Green acid stuff for Zerg. | ||

I didnt say a word about the unit and what it will counter and its uses. The discussion is just abut the unit alone... does it fit the protoss feel, does it look starcraft-ish. people can have opinions without playing the thing, you guys need to calm down. | ||

As for the hoverboard, I feel that this definitely doesn't fit in with the protoss. The only unit to ever hover in protoss is the probe, so hovering isn't something their ground forces do ( although it could be argued that the board was an adaptation to spider mines ) but still, even if it was something like that, they could easily make it a hovering reaver, or give zealots anti gravity boots. I also don't like the whole "anti-infantry" since zealots are good enough for that usually | ||

This is the only unit I personally don't like from what has been shown so far and I would be very happy to see it change (model, concept) or taken out completely. | ||

The model that doesnt have a Protoss look to it and the stupid lasers are just more the enough for me to hate that unit already no matter how it plays like. cuz 1 of the c&c developer was the main programmer and shit LOL | ||

They don't even look like toss units. 4. the soul gather ability also doesn't fit with protoss or even SC. Its creating mini heroes which is also lame. Shit, why not just make reavers munch on metal stuff all the time to create scarabs. Make it a robot or something if nothing else. I'm assuming the counterpart to soul hunters are the reapers for terran. If they have a similar role for; raiding, scouting, and moving fast. thats cool. but everything about them besides the role is just lame. | ||

Then they will be just perfect. lol , in other words remove them , right ?  the only thing that i don't like about them is "xp gaining" after killing bio units.That's just not starcraftish. | ||
