This isn't going to be a great thread topic, but it's really bugging me. Nearly every SS I've seen of zerglings they seem to have wings. They look like little insects/bugs/flys and I don't like it. Anyone know anything more about this?

Just thought others would share my opinion and word would hopefully reach Blizzard.

I don't see any Zerg at all in that link.

But yeah, I think everyone knows about the Zergling's new 'locust' design.

I think the purpose of the zergling and muta at this point is something to get killed in screenshots.

Anyway, they do seem more like broodlings. Its not that they're bad, but I think I would miss a medium melee unit that can take more than 1 hit.
Do you really want chat rooms?

yeah, the "wings" still bother me very much... it makes them seem more "annoying" than fearsome dog-like creatures

What wings? Do you mean the two little horn/prongs on either side of their head? They've always had those, even in BW. They're just a lot more pronounced now.

Actually, I reallly hate the wings. They really take away from the feel of the zergling as a vicious lizard like creature that is just brimming with energy.

I realize that they have been part of the concept design since they beginning, but I like how the sprites looked in BW much better.

Forget Zergling wings, the Medics look badass with their shields now.
Peace~

I personally think this is almost as bad as the old siege tank look. Hope Blizzard changes it.

Agreed, it's really ugly. Looks like a bunch of little gnats flying around, not crazy lizard/alien killers

Medics always carried a shield. In starcraft 1 it's hard to see because of the shitty graphics and pixels and whatnot.

They should replace the wings with some super legs so that the zerglings can hop over terrain.
...i mean why else are there wings on it?

yeah i agree that the new lings look kinda shitty

the old lings were better just with legs and running and shit more like dogs instead of fucking dragonflies
