Zerg Melee Flyer

xD I can't believe I said 500, I amaze my self sometimes.

But yea.
More votes plz.

 

i really hope they inprove the AI of the scourges
they were my fav zerg air unit because they spawned so quick
but a lot of the time i had to micro so they would play with more than one enemy instead of playing
"lets all blow ourselves up on one unit"

 

That would be nice to have 12 scourges each 3 taking out an enemy ship.

 

CannonFodder: Blizzard may acknowledge that, and a melee flyer would be a good solution. It'd make everything targeting one air unit a good thing.

 

i hope so
a melee flyer would be a nice change from the norm

 

i agree. if the scourge is turned into a melee flyer, i think it should still have the "run into things and blow up" ability.

 

Wait, is this about making the old Scourge have a melee attack or having a brand new melee Air-to-Air unit? I was under the impression that it would just be a completely new air unit with a melee attack.

 

maybe. I'm not really sure lol. But if it is the scourge, I hope they keep the suicide.

 

i think this is about a new melee air unit
but having it be able to blow up would be useful
mabye make it an upgrade in the spire so that the unit dies it does about 30 small AoE damage

 

Both kinda, since the Scourge would be a candidate to change in this area.

 

I feel that if the Scourge is to return, then it'll have to retain its suicide attack. Otherwise, I'm sure that the new Air-to-Air, melee or ranged, will be more than satisfactory. I'd probably rather that the Scourge doesn't return as Zerg already have a new and improved, easily massable suicide unit. One of them is enough. It's not very innovative if ground units have an equivalent flying counterpart.

 

scourge were ONLY good if you could control them really well which was hard to do. i think they should implement something that doesn't explode and die when attacking. Kind of annoying when what you blow up on doesn't die and your out of luck for air defence let say against guardians because of their massive range.

 

ya i hate it when i run out of scourges before all the enemies are puddles of goo on the ground

 

I'd love to see the Scourge just chomp down on things with it's pirahna teeth.

 

if they do make a melee flyer it shouldn't be the scourge because it already has a role as a suicide, the melee air unit should be like the scourge but not the scourge itself

 

The reason we have focused on the Scourge as a Air version of a Zergling seems nice since no other race has one except for the Protoss maybe with their Corsair, but they still had range. By not having range it makes the air unit focus on the attacking unit allowing the melee flyer to work with the other units attributes which Zerg are strong for. Having each unit focusing on its self in a sense allows things like Mutalisk and Hydralisk to get closer to deliver that killer blow. Also its a nice counter to the Overload since the energy would not focus on the important more costly units.

 

I think that the scourge should gain a kind of predator mouth thing and bite things in the air. That would be cool. Also maybe make it a bit bigger but still able to retain the super speed it has

 

would the scourge still explode when it died?

 

I wouldn't like to see the standard Scourge with a biting attack. It has no neck, yet alone head, which would make biting on to something very difficult to do while flying. If there is going to be a melee air unit, for it to have an aesthetically functional attack, it'll either have to have evolved drastically, which isn't impossible to the Zerg, or be a brand new unit.

 

Or, how about since Mutalisks shoot magic green acid that can bounce, what if their Glavie Wurms have evolved to work independantly?
