What is your favorite new Protoss unit?

Keep all the original units? And compliment them with a few new ones? That sounds like an expansion pack. Starcraft 2 will be bigger than that.

Why they took away the Dragoon? To allow new units to enter, new units that will offer new strategies to a new game.

 

If Blizzard doesn't axe some of the old units, many of the new units that they are going to be adding will overlap the old units. And just like what Gasmaskguy said, that would be like a SC expansion pack if Blizzard decided to keep all the old units and add some new units.

If Blizzard adds too much new units while keeping all the old units, there will be unit overlaps.
If Blizzard adds a few new units while keeping all the old units, it would be like a SC expansion pack.

This is why Blizzard decided to revamp basically everything and start from scratch. Keep the old and iconic units and add in lots of new units with new abilities/mechanics.

 

Colossus

 

@Ych

The challenge is getting enough of a mix of old units to keep it recognisable and enough new units to be fresh.

We've already seen this with them bringing back some old units who were originally not gonna be in SC2

 

Mother ship because i think that it will be if you win or lose your battles if you have one game over if you dont bye bye

 

Zealots FTW !!! Muahahhaaha. il vote for them. Although i also like Dark Archon.To bad Dark Archons isnt making their appearance in Starcraft II huh >> that sucks bad. oh well go Zealots!!!

 

So it's not a new unit, but IDC, I still love zealots the most, especially with the new CHAAAAARRRRGGGEEEEEE ability! . If I had to pick, i'd say the mothership is my new favorite.

 

my favorite new protoss unit is the nullifier.. (coz its too easy to crush!! hahahaha)

 

CRUSHINATOR!!! rawr..

Spoiler

<3 Zealots

 

Mothership is THE best unit. But you need a lot of energy to use its potentialities. else this unit will be useless

Finally you need to use its abilities well, of course

 

stalkers...FTW!!!! XD

 

Stalker is basisly a weak version of dragoon and immortal is an expensive version of dragoon without air attack more psi but more hp... well at least that what i could see

And as for the topic question:
What is your favorite new Protoss unit?
None... seriously
You can say im not too impress with the toss units in SC2 =|
No reaver and blizz give us a colossus... should i suppose to be happy about it?

 

Ummm.... Yes.

The Colossus is awesome, and the Reaver, although powerful, was pretty crap. The Colossus basically does everything the Reaver did, only better. It still has a devastating area of effect attack, doesn't have to buy its ammunition, it walks a heck of a lot faster and can step over cliffs. Not to mention that it looks a lot better and fits the Protoss better than a mechanical slug, and, lore-wise, is actually built for war. Lastly, despite its size, it's still transportable. The only downside is that it's able to be hit by Air units, but that simply lead to some better Protoss Anti-Air units, like the Phoenix, and just goes to show how much more powerful it is than the Reaver was.

 

Mother ship even though that was hard but it owns

 

i would say the colossie, theres something about a giant death walker that just makes me happy.

 

Stalker seems kinda cool.

 

i gotta say the immortal. in sc1, the toss would get annihalated by the tanks. now that they have immortals thats all gonna change

u didnt like the reaver in sc1? it was my fav. toss unit 1 reaver can wipe out a players entire minneral line...how is that not awesome? and when it comes to walking, a reaver almost always has its shuttle to move it.

 

For real? I think of the Phase Prism more as mechanics...It allows to realocate any unit on the battlefield as well as teleport new units directly. And it allows the placing of quick bases with photon cannyons which makes anyone trying to survive a base destruction or expansion more easily. YET if you ask me combat units, then I say the Dark Templar. Deadly, powerfull at close range, ground units but anyway, invisible.

 

lol, it's so funny to read what all of you though a couple of months ago.
Today the colossi sucks and Im not sure the reaver's even on the game.
Im not gonna talk about the Ms.. omgzors.

I like the inmortal.. it has some nostalgic feeling about it..

 

Stalker.

What with the new look and seeing more videos of Protoss players using 'em...
