EPTI want a SERIOUS air-casting unit (no Mothership v.2 please) for any race except Zerg (doesn't seem to fit with the idea).

They were planned as Hive Tech, and with units like the Colossi and Blink Stalkers, Void Rays, and Marauders they will be no where as strong as in Brood War. Fungal Growth only holds for 4 seconds, and if you are going to repeatedly cast it the DPS of a Lurker is already meaningless on most units. I understand fire while burrowed, but something exactly like the Lurker is not going to happen. I want a SERIOUS air-casting unit (no Mothership v.2 please) for any race except Zerg (doesn't seem to fit with the idea). People want lurker because what it did in BW is exactly what zerg need atm. omething that punish player for not having detection / something to hold a position / a more defensive unit But yeah, lurker themselves won't fit. Blizzard need to make something new that fit the role. | ||

The question is, should it be armored or light? Surprised to see so many votes for Ground artillery (ex. Reaver) for Protoss, isn't the Colossus filling that role quite nicely (i.e. outranging cannons, spines and PF's)? Remove/revamp overseer, give zerg a new aerial spellcaster with more in-battle functionality - see Raven. Just give zerg more units in general, they're behind! I'd like to see a zerg ground unit with a reverse Graviton beam (wc3 crypt fiend web, or raider net) to help with early banshees/void rays. Give it low enough dps/hp to be a waste of resources if it can't use its spell(s) - like a sentry. Maybe have it able to cliffwalk too (or cliff-jump, zerg are agile no? ^^), for maximum void ray tears. | ||

I hope that the colossus gets removed or reworked in some way. I can't really say anything about terran. | ||

Protoss needs a harass unit out of the robo Terran needs a second good spellcaster (ghost is fine, raven is trash) | ||

the chances of them adding in more sc1 units is slim to null. | ||

Many Terran users would like the possibility to transition out of marines, but they can't. Marines are the only rapid-fire anti-air unit for the Terran with a cooldown of .86 or .57 stimmed. Vikings have a slow, 2.0 cooldown shot, leading to massive overkill. Thors have the super-slow, 3.0 cooldown shot which as effective as the splash is, cannot stand against mutas (or anything else) alone. Terran need a ground unit with an anti-air rate of fire between 1.2 and 1.5 cooldown. Goliath could fulfill this role, but Blizzard can be creative if they want. But Marines are a requirement for Terran and I would like that requirement removed. | ||

This is either the most stupid motherfucker at TL, or one of the more creative trollers I've seen here atleast. Like every single word is misspelled >.> "BANGLINGS"?

Lurker and "artilery unit" are actually reasonably similar in function for example. And I don't think we're gonna see any of those for protoss but rather get a new defenisive unit. It CAN'T be like the sentry because the sentry is fine for offence as well, it has to really shine in defense, like how zerg is just defensive in general (creep, queens, burrow, repositional defenses, importance of expansions), and how terran CAN play defensive (bunkers, supply depots and tanks which allow defense but can then be used to make way for the offensive push as well). Meanwhile, PvP still suffers slightly as a matchup because of a complete lack of defensive presence (photon cannons arn't good enough against blink stalkers). I'm not saying toss absolutely NEEDS a defensive unit, but it would add a lot more depth to PvP I think. | ||

The things I really think they'll add are as follows: Z: 1: A tier 1 scouting unit, either a quick flying unit that doesn't attack, or a cliff walking unit perhaps. Potentially an upgrade from the zergling or roach that comes from the Pool/Warren. 2: A mid game space controlling unit, something to slow down pushes(an upgrade from Hydras maybe, though not the lurker. Something with long range splash.) P: 1: A harassment unit likely to come from the Robo. Something that is fast moving. T: 1: A new factory unit, with strong AA (no splash). Potentially light armored and quick moving, and would likely not require a tech lab (for quick reactor style production). | ||
