It would make them uncontrollable, like rockets, the idea being that abilities should come with drawbacks. slow turn speed is something that would be very cool in balancing a lot of abilities and units, and even was in sc2 alpha at one point (i remember seeing a video about the thor not being able to shoot fast-moving units because he couldnt turn fast enough) would make flanking very cool and give the game way more tactical depth, but for some reason blizz decided to streamline everything and take it out | ||

Such inflexible units are total RUBBISH as can be seen with the Banshee and Viking and Corruptor and ... the only exception is/was the Siege Tank due to its power level, but Widow Mines are not that powerful. Such units also force you to have other units which can attack "the other target zone" (of air/ground) and that is usually bad. | ||

I shouldn't have to make a different unit for every different thing I want to do. Units need to be more all around as they were in BW. | ||

Yeah, that's how he thinks. ... aaaaand thats a RUBBISH way of designing such a game, because it forces too many units to be added into the game to fill in the gaps. A much better concept is to have units which are BAD against certain units, but not totally useless. Sometimes good players are even able to kill Colossi with Marines ... and thats exciting and skillful. Why do you get Vikings? Because you NEED them against some threat in the air. No one EVER gets Vikings because he WANTS them. Same for Corruptors (unless you want to turn them into Broodlords) and this is where it is totally clear that morphing from Mutalisks is MUCH better because you can actually use them to do stuff instead of just wasting supply on dead weight (until your greater spire is done). | ||

It already did before at 9 range ... because you have to add the radius to the range as well. This is now icing on the cake / adding insult to injury ... whatever saying you want to describe total stupidity ... | ||

If avio had his way, Games would just start up wth twenty marines for Terran and toss and zerg would only have units with one hitpoint. The reason I mention the warhound is because it's ironic, not because i'm terribly biased. I was one of the people that made threads and pointed out that they should remove the warhound because it was a 1A unit or re-design it to something else. Don't mistake my humor for bias, i know sarcasm is hard to get on the internet. Why do i say bring the warhound back? Because at this point I feel they are lost on what to do, and Terran needs a new unit. Things are not looking good in the Terran design department right now for this expansion, and what i'm basically trying to say is, "at this point things are so bad they can bring the warhound back and the game will actually be better." Next time instead of being a blind hater, read between the lines. | ||

If you consider what they're doing right now to be not listening to the community at all, then does that mean listening to the community means fulfilling all those horrible balance suggests/complaints on the Bnet forums? | ||

Remove Thor bring back the Goliath (Screw the warhound). Bring back the Lurker and fix the hydra. This infester thing is just bad. We need some defiler up in here. They need to stop being scared of Brood War. Mix it in a bit. People don't care if there's a bunch of "Zomg new OP units", we want the classics and right now a few of them scream out for fixing balance. Defiler vs infester/viper is the best example I can think of. | ||
