Yeah it's funny..people make more roaches than they make hydralisks. Hydras were the iconic zerg unit but now they are just lollers.

Goliaths don't exist and Thor is a boring unit that is just there to soak up damage. Terran air also took a turn for the worse when it comes to design. We didn't need another mech in there.

Zealots are pretty much worthless, most protoss players make only one to three of those in a game. They were the iconic protoss unit.
Almost nobody uses high templars. There is no point since spamming colossus is more cost-effective.
Dragoons don't exist instead we got immortals that are boring and expensive.

I have no idea why they had to change the units so much from Sc 1, any fan could have told them they were doing it wrong.

Thors don't soak up damage. They're anti muta and anti protoss armor. Zealots are awesome, they are the protoss meatshield unit. The only matchup you don't need tonnes of them in is PvP, but even there, you see more zealots than colossus, since PvP never goes late game any more. Banshees are awesome.
