The Venomancer attack animation for DotA (in WC3) is superior to the current hydralisk attack animation. And it's not even very good.

The Hydralisk's attack looks so lame because it's just shooting out one quill. If it shot out a volley of acid-quills it would be much better.
Also, the "pfft" noise it makes is pretty weak. I really liked the original SC attack noise for hydralisk's a lot more (not to mention the sound they made when they died).
You guys do know that a lot of units in WC3 Beta had crappy or no attack animation which was remedied in release. Beta isn't really the time for art changes, that's usually done between end of beta and release.

Rapiers are slashing. Short blades are usually used for stabbing.

wtf? Were you joking or something?
Cuz Rapiers are fencing swords. They're mainly thrusting weapons...

Oh, my bad. I confused Rapiers with Scimitars or the ones that mounted cavalry use.

Also, when a Marine dies by Zealot, they are (at least sometimes) sliced in half.
