    Kerrigan was pretty useful, and well equiped for many situations. She could take out air ships in scores with Psi Storm, could reveal and cripple cloaked units with ensnare, Cloaking had it's obvious uses. She was good, and could handle alot of enemies when used properly.

    Kerrigan was actually much stronger, the only reason they made her abilities so limited was because they needed to balance out the campaigns so it didn't get too easy when you had her. But Blizzard's already said they'll be giving each hero a unique abilities, so no worries there.

    It is good for "killing" detectors. It's good if you want your Ghosts or Wraiths to wreak havoc without being killed. The problem is that it is too specialized, and its use doesn't come up too often.

    Usually it's not something you have to bother upgrading unless you have a lot of resources floating around or if you're trying to do a stealthy attack. And it definitely shouldn't be the first thing you upgrade.

    Perhaps blinding of detecting buildings would help it become more common place, still not that usefull (due to the shear amount of detects people build). and only temporarily.

    Something like this

    but in all seriousness it would seem usefull

    Blinding a lone Overlord when the Zerg are attacking, then sending in cloaked Wraiths is always fun.

    maybe if the optic flare did splash blind to all detectors within a certin rang it would be more useful

    I personally never used Ensnare, Optical Flare, or Hallucination. But there aren't really any abilities that I want taken out, per se.

    At the same time, I almost would rather take EVERYTHING out and see all new abilities.

    But you need to keep some abilities so it still feels like starcraft. If they took out abilities such as Yamato Cannon and Psi Storm it'll lose one of the things we liked best about starcraft.

    You are correct. That is why I said almost, because of course I would die without my Psi Storm and Yamato Cannon.

    Yea, we don't really need restoration, but it would be extremely helpful when a Thor gets plauged or something.
    If they'd change it let it have a splash effect.

    Personally I wouldn't be remiss if blizzard drops mind controll, it just wasn't worth it, taking over another players dropship would be the best you could do, workers are nice but most players wont let you get to em.

    One ability that's really been pissing me off lately is Spawn Broodlings. I think it's a stupid attack, mostly because it's so hard to stop. I play Terrans, and I normally keep the battle grounded. Well, in floats some suicidal Queen to come and Broodling my Tank. Wonderful. And then come more of them. And there's nothing you can do to stop it, aside from praying your Goliaths get them first.

    BAH.

    Protect the Tanks with Ghosts or Goliaths then. Or don't leave them as targets.
    Spawn Broodling is a wonderful attack, although I hate then people harass with them. Easy to counter but still.

    I suppose, it's just a major pain in the ass having an important part of my attack get knocked out so easily. And defending with Goliaths is hard because they can just fly in so quickly, and without warning. Especially during a battle, where you're already tied up.
