Lurkers aren't being used?!

[Operatoring]

Give them cliff walking. They already have the spider legs. It would make them more versatile and a real threat at tier 3 in a world where everyone already has detection.

Move while burrow is a stupid idea for this unit as it creates no tension. There would never really be a reason to un-burrow unless a threat is really far away.

I read in a thread that Blizzard is tweaking them because people aren't using them.

It's funny; if you "read in a thread", then clearly there must be a thread that's already talking about this. A thread that is only 4 days old from its last post.

He didn't read it in a thread. It was tweeted by blizzard. Archons and Lurkers aren't getting much play time so they're playing with them.

I personally would have to see lurkers in game to get a better idea of their practicality. Because the game testers within Blizz have become rooted in their strategies that tend to work within their environment, doesn't mean that once the game gets more people using more strategies that Lurkers might come back into the spot light. I find it hard for Blizz to put much emphasis on their low use just within their in-office games/F&F beta.

No, no. Nooooooooooooooooooo. NOnonononono.

You guys must not be old school enough to remember the complete TERROR that was lurker cliff drops on Lost Temple *shudders*.

They would get on top of your god damn cliff before observers and then scourge every obs you made, and kill your second gas adsisfhgisfihuifghufh -.-

This is all they have to go on. They want the beta to be somewhat balanced.

Well, FA, they could either be tier 3 and have cliff walking or be tier 2 and stay as they were.

Hell, they could even make this a tier 3 upgrade and change Lurkers back to tier 2,5. Now that'd be awesome!
