Thor possibly out!

In the latest Q&A Karune says this:

So what so you think will the Thor be modified or it will just be cut from the game?
:gossip:

 

Let it just be modified, we all embraced it already!

I will miss the Thor if it is removed

 

But if they find no way to modify it it might be removed...

 

but it doesn't overlap the Tank's role. The tank is for siegeing a base from afar. The Thor is a damage sponge.

 

Yep, the Thor IMO is more of a immortal kind of unit which:
1. takes damage
2. Huge Unit like the Ultralisks so it won't be like a mass unit (probably same goes for the siege tank...)
3. Very strong unit like the Ultralisk however stronger and more vunerable

 

Agreed the Thor is a unit that I personally really like. I am a Protoss player and thats saying a lot for a Terran unit (although I hate all zerg). The unit is a huge (like what BoP just said) a sounge for damage. It has high HP and has high attack. The Thor is a Unique unit for the Terrans because they don't have a unit like that other than the Thor. So what I am trying to say is that the Thor is as good as its gona get and lets leave it at that.

 

someone needs to tell them to give the Thor nukes a la as we discussed

 

But the battlecruiser is also a powerful unit and all that... They just overlap too much.
I personally wouldn't like Thor to be cut out, but it's role should be changed.

 

Noooooooooooo!!!!! Anything but the thor! It doesnt overlap anything. Its an assault unit, when tanks are more defensive.

 

The Thor does not overlap with the battlecruiser because the Battlecruiser isn't a damage sponge and can't distract melee units

 

Good god, the battlecruiser is an air unit, like the carrier. Why dont cut out the collosus? same matters.

 

You got the point there. What could they change his role to?

 

Overlap? I don't think so. Just modify it in case... don't remove it ç.ç
OR put goliaths instead of thor <_<

 

Um vikings are the new goliaths

 

And they're much better! :good:

 

i don't think that the Thor will be cut out. they will more or less change a bunch of numbers. maybe they want it to be even more like a meatshield and gives it even more hp, say 1000 hp, and remove its artillery ability so that it is even less like a ST. Now, instead give it a small nuke or something, short range tho. (not so short range that it blows itself up :-X)

 

I hope the only real modification they make is that the Thor changes it's name

I don't want the Thor to go away, we're like, homies

Agreeing to the above post, the Thor has been around for too long, is in SC2 website, and has appeared on several videos. None of the scrapped units so far had all that backup.

 

Hmmmm the Thor getting cut out? I really don't think so.... However it does somewhat overlap the bc/tank roles... Its not off the website yet... So only time will tell......

 

I never really got the "nothing is final" till now, I just hope they don´t end up cutting all new ideas.

 

If they are going to make any changes to it, make it able to multi target with its regular guns and take away the Artillery ability. This way it would be more of and anti-infantry then long range support.
