No heroes, no Do*** gah.

Dotards can stay outdated in WC3 And SC fans can live in peace~

Come on, just recycle UMS from old SC and it's made of win and gold already.

How could people forget Evolve, Starship Trooper and Defend The Temple?

SC needs no mindless zombies to be legendary.

The hybrid we were expecting isn't exactly new race though, it's rather a cross between 2 original race, maybe that's why they say no new 'races' and spring a surprise to us in SC2?

I think if they wants to improve on the hero system. They should make hero abilities based mostly on passive skills. Aura and such that will improve the army and level up enhances the passive skills effect, nothing more. Giving too much active skills that are overpowering to heroes turns it to into an RPG game. As long as they make it hard to fight Hero to Hero. We'll see less kind of retarded RPG in RTS like SC2.

Hero unit in SC aren't entirely bad though. It created wonderful defense map like Starship Trooper UMS.

Active spells that attacks unit is what make Heroes in WC3 that powerful. Not to mention how much element in WC3 is focused on Heroes. Even the upkeep system in WC3 is indirectly forcing player to use heroes as massing units become inefficient.

What I mean is they should only make heroes act as 'catalyst' in a fleet. Heroes can't go alone fighting, and a strong army can't be efficient without a hero nearby. They plays a big role in skirmishes but only if they're backed up by a properly managed fleet.

They'll probably appear as non-playable race in SC2. It would be cheating if you can use the Xel'naga. Playing the 'God' in any RTS games is just like typing cheat code

The protoss temple on Auir is a Xel'naga creation as well.

And with proper balance, a.k.a. weakening of Xel'naga to be played with. They lose their status as God. A bit lowly for the ancient race that created the Zerg and whorshipped by the Protoss don't you think? I would prefer Xel'naga remains as an ancient race as described in the storyline.

Or maybe they'll expand the idea where Protoss used the temple on Shakura to destroy the Zerg by allowing us to use some leftover artifacts by the Xel'Naga in the campaign mode.
