    Its times like these were developers really just have to throw realism out the windows for the sake of gameplay. Buildings blocking even just gunfire, plasma/lazers, or hydra spines would be bad for gameplay. The same would go for for them blocking LoS.

    I think if you made Thors LOS blockers it would be really freaking distracting and annoying they are moving around alot.

    I think making buildings LoS blockers is a problem when you can wall your base in (which the Terrans are particularly good at) because it prevents any sort of espionage before air (with the exception of Terran's Scan), and thus makes it as much a game of guesswork as one of skill.

    It is got to be a nay from me.
    The idea is good, but I think it is too hard to execute in a balanced and uncomplicated way.
    But I would love to see it in parts of the campaign.

    It is a pretty all-in strat and the Protoss player was pretty stupid warping in units in front of the Thor.
    Decepticons, transform and rise up!

    It's only all-in because he did both a proxy Barracks and a proxy Fact. He could have built the Barracks in his own base and lost nothing. In fact, that would have meant fewer Zealots and more Stalkers, and Zealots are the real threat to Thors (though not in that particular game).
