What is your favorite new Protoss unit?

Collosus ftw.
I like the idea of a pod unit for the protoss, and it gives them a bit more of a classic alien feel while stil being unique.

 

I started liking the idea of the Twilight archon, but where is it?? i cant see the darkness into the light of that cotton ball archon... i sure wish that they dont finalize that archon coz its so not satisfying, merging khala & void should be something else....

 

collosus ftw.

 

why not the phoenix... ^_^

 

You know...we really haven't heard much of the Mothership lately.

 

Archons for the win. Although lets say that if you merge a high templar with a dark templar you get different abbilities than if you merge a high and a high and a dark and a dark, like mabye two highs have a better attack but lower shields and health while a dark and a dark have more shields and health and mabye a mix would have balanced attack and shields.

 

Well, i choose Immortal as my Favoraite new Protoss Unit, because based on my own opinion, The Protoss Immortals are Protoss Dragoons that evolved right, so for me they are the most faithful and loyal units of the Protoss they served the Protoss Empire loyaly.

 

@Tassadar125

i also like the twilight archon but your idea of having stat balancing with different merges of templars is highly unlikely since the first thing they have to focus about the archon is the chance for it to have a skill on its own that will not forge or resemble any skill that only the power of khala or void can provide.. so we are probably expecting a better skill which is worthy enough to say that it is the power of the ultimate protoss..

 

I love how you guys just ignore posts, kinda rude.

On the Archon tho, although it is cheaper (or is it?), the Ultralisk seems to be the winner if they had a 1:1 fight as the Ultralisk has 600hp and the Archon had around 350, not to mention shields don't account for any bonus reductions.
So I agree that the Archon should get different attributes, not abilities.
Merge a High Templar with a Dark Templar, and you get a balanced Archon, merge two High Templars you get an Archon with a higher shield and slightly lower attack then the balanced Archon, merge two Dark Templar and you get an Archon with a higher attack than the balanced Archon, that way you get to use one of the highest units in the Protoss ranks in more dynamic and useful ways.
Like imagine they had 7 Ultralisks advancing on your position, merge your High Templars so they can act more as meatshields than attackers to allow you Stalkers to rape them from range. But then again, the meatshield Archon would have the same stats as an Immortal, so scratch that idea lol.
How about merge two High Templar and it gets a longer range than the balanced Archon?

 

I love the immortal also its very sexy, just how there is finally a counter to the nuisance of tanks

 

@ Psionicz

We didnt ignore any posts i think.. we are merely supporting our vote for the poll.. and btw a merging of vaious templars will only assimilate the twilight type so we arent sure if we are gonna expect stat differentials with alternate merges... would you rather let them emphasize a stat alteration than having a unique skill on its own??

1st of all the twilight archon isnt supposed to be competing an ultralisk as it is way beyond comparison boundaries, meaning its a zerg with more supply cost than an archon with different roles

2nd is why would you alter its stats? isnt it already good, as far as i know the archon stats is already sufficient as it not only has a high amount of health, it also has superb splash damage..

3rd a new skill will definitely defy a twilight archon rather than by having its stats altered.. then what else would happen if that is so?? a tanker, nuker, and mediocre? pleeeaasssee.....

4th whats the sense of having unity and prosperity if nothing will ever change? alternate merges with different stats also proposes various weaknesses than being stable and capable.. (rootword able - ability!)

Sorry if i was ever rude in any way you'd think of but I just love the T.archon and its a responsibility to protect its rightful place as the superior amongst all protoss breathen

 

that would be cool if different merges gave way to different powers like to darks making the archon gain a greater mana and two highs giving the archon a greater attack, and the mixture of a dark and high being somewere inbetween

 

Collossus before they changed its attack.

Immortal overall; looks great, balanced, perfect role, fits the Protoss agenda perfectly.

 

i change my mind from collosus now its got the new attack, now i don't know, none of the units in the current build have the wow factor like reavers and old collosi did.

EDIT: actually i like carriers, so i'm voting for them.

EDIT2:

lmao...

 

i am not sure i believe this, but my vote has changed as well...

if this is true, than my vote goes to the reaver. sorry i am a little behind the 8ball so im not sure if they brought the reaver back or not.

 

look at the post date its december of last year.

they bought it back for a while but took it out because it overlaps roles with the collosus.

 

darn

 

indeed.

RIP little catapillar things...

 

I think that the phase prism will be one of the best new units, warping armies and a mobile power source.

 

Why take away the dragoon?

Why the hell are they taking away the Protoss Dragoon from starcraft? and for that matter why are they taking away any of the original units? The new units that are being made should compliment the three races and original units not replace the units that we've been using for so many years. I mean i haven't used the defiler much in starcraft but that doesn't mean it should be completely forgotten in starcraft2. Blizzard if you read this please consider keeping the original units, all of them. If not in the regular gameplay then at least in a mapeditor so we can still use them. I'd like to here other peoples opinions on what i've just said
