Quick question for everyone. What unit would you be happy to see go if it was replaced with a unit that was useful in more situations?
Imho, blizz to-do list should be as follows:
1) 250mm cannons reworked
2) Warp prism reworked
3) Mothership reworked
4) Any unused or niche unit reworked, like phoenix, corruptor, changeling, viking, overseer.
5) Tweak forcefields
6) Tweak nydus
7) fix PvP
8) fix mules
There are also some cool things that not all races have. For example:
1) Mindcontrol - only zerg. BW was only protoss, but it's overall a cool mechanics, I think every1 should have one.
2) Cloaked attack - banshee/ghost/DT(mommaship), zerg - nothing. BW had lurker.
3) AoE spell - fungal/storm/hunter missiles/nuke. Missiles being the worst, need buff imo. Nuke is underrated, and should be used more.
4) Manaburn - emp/feedback, nothing for zerg again)
5) Single expensive high damage spell - yamato, 250 mm cannons, snipe, nuke - all on terrans . P and Z have none
6) Reliable harass unit - muta/hellion/banshee, P has none.
7) Disable - fungal/mommaship toilet (sort of)/forcefields(sort of), T has none. In BW, there was freeze, blind (sort of) and none for Z.
8) Big badass expensive all-purpose a-move unit - BC/Carrier, zerg has none (funny, never had one in sc:bw)
9) Suicide units - now only zerg has banelings. BW had spider mines for T, scarabs for P and scourge with infested terrans for Z.
10) Race-related spell - BW had more interesting spells, like irradiate, plague, queen CC and EMP. You could only use it vs a particular race, which was damn cool. SC2 only has emp.
11) Defensive spell - BW had heal and matrix for T, illusion and mass cloak for P, and swarm for Z. sc2 defensive spells are much more narrow. Still got heal on medivacs and mass cloak on mothership, and PDD for raven, which are all very situational, except for heal. Guardian shields is somewhat ineffective vs most ranged units.
12) Attacking expiring summons - turrets for T, infested marines for Z, none for P. Illusions don't do damage, so don't count. In BW, only Z had queen broodlings.
13) Static debuffs - corruptors and marauders are only ones who have it. BW had defilers and queen virus.
14) Castable buffs - only stim comes to mind. BW was also very poor on buffs.
