Problem: obviously it is bad because it is so clumsy. It lumbers around half of the time not even attacking. if there is a zergling in front of it it will walk around in circles trying to get to the enemy unit.

Solution: I propose that Ultras walk more like colossus do, stepping over smaller units. In the cut videos we watch ultras attack alongside smaller units, like in the HotS commercial. So.... Why don't they attack like that? Burrow charge was a stupid idea, IMO. So if they walked like colossus stepping over smaller nits then there would be no problem and ultras would rule! except versus marauders.

What do you think?
Should Blizzard keep trying other things?
Is this a good idea?
If someone could make a custom map that would be awesome so we could test this. I don't know how..

lol the ultralisk is so bad, when something is in its way it doesn't just go left or right it does a 360 turn and tries to attack the same spot.

Ultras would benefit from a small size change I believe but they're actually utilised much better these days this isnt the beta any more and people have improved nobody expected ultras to be a massable T3 unit but an addition to an already composed army

yeah agreed. i think it should be more mobile, and take up 1 patch of unit space instead of 2.

yeah, clearly zerg is loosing a lot of the games the play, the last tournaments all did go in favor or protoss or terran, we should consider buffing their units

LOL "eSports"
Ultras are fine in TvZ
If you're making pure ultras and attacking in chokes you're doing something wrong obviously
