- I hate the Colossus. The idea, the model, and the name.

- I don't like the fences in the game. The original never had them, why are you putting them in? It's too... I hate to say it.... C&C-esque. Look here.

So much for the minor complaint thread. How about the minor complaint thread that coincides with FrozenArbiter's opinion thread?

1. Make Colossus more fun. Give some quick kill abilities (best option IMO). Maybe make the first hit do a lot of damage, and the line do a small splash amount. That'd make it more like a reaver/tank, which are fun. Or just give it some energy/time based scarabs or missles or something. Or they are against making it a killing machine, at least make it a dancing machine... make its walk speed way faster (think reaver in a shuttle or simply the immense range of a siege tank).

Make Roach Melee

Explanation:

The purpose of the roach is to absorb damage in lower mineral situations so other units can get the kills. However, their design runs completely counter to their purpose.

Please make the roach a melee unit. That way they can actually absorb damage that would have just killed the zerglings who currently run past the roaches to attack.

A units design should not nullify its purpose. The design should bolster/strengthen its purpose.


This is not a major change since the stats could be the same and the attack animation would be very easy to change.

you're wrong. zerglings' worst enemies aren't melee units, they're ranged units. so the roaches will successfully draw the fire of ranged units

What I've noticed a LOT was, and I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else bring it up, the non-visible attacks from like, half the units in the game. Most the ranged attacks in the game are unclear, or really, really tiny. I could hardly tell when units were firing, even mutalisks. Ingame, I'm certain it's much clearer, but from the videos I've seen, the attacks were unclear or realistically (-_-)small.

Maybe I'm insane or partially blind, but this has been irking me since the first gameplay video.

Improved pathing is one thing, units automatically surrounding is another. I have nothing against units knowing which route to take to a destination, I love the concept of not having to babysit my units due to some map having small passages or neutral buildings blocking the route, making the AI of the units break and forcing them to dance around.
However, units automatically positioning themself to always attack units is an entirely different thing. If anything, they should just stop units from dancing around trying to reach the target. Instead they should wait in place until given order to move around or the unit in front moves/dies, then continue with the previous command, unless another one is given. If the units automatically find the best angle and moves around, I'd say the amount of micro required for your units would be reduced by at least 30-40%, which is not good for a game that have already streamlined macro immensely (which is another subject that won't be discussed here).
I realize you might consider this a backward move when pathing can be improved so much, but I find this a huge concern in a game that should demand alot from a player and his/her control of the units.

Yeah, sounds to me like it's going too fast b/c of the LAN thing like FA said. Just hold shift down while doing this, and you'll be fine.
