Seeing as how my Diablo poll correctly picked the latest 2 diablo heroes (Mephisto and Imperius), I thought it would be fun to see where everyone stands with Starcraft. Blizzard, please pay attention and listen to the fans.
The rules are simple:
You can only pick one hero
You can’t re-post to keep voting
If you don’t see your hero, just vote it anyways and I’ll add it to the list
I’ll check back every day and update the results. And I’ll be voting for Horace Warfield of course.
While there a quite a few characters I still want from the universe, and I’d be happy with plenty of them, I think we are long overdue for a hybrid, and I want another Starcraft main tank.
Essentially, talandar = robot copy of the original(currently in game) fenix. The original fenix lived and died during the events of SC1 + broodwar. Talandar first appeared as a character in sc2: lotv
My vote from this list is Rohana. However, I really hope the next hero is a Hydralisk. An Ultralisk or Defiler would also be cool. Basically, I want some generic Zerg units.
Maar and the Hybrid of Castanar are pretty different, with one being a caster and the other being a melee tank. If you don’t want me to go for the Hybrid of Castanar, I suppose I’ll toss my lot in with the Overmind. He could bring some interesting gameplay.
Sooo… original protoss Fenix died, turned into a robot spider (sorry ) then someone made another copy of him, that became Talandar?! Right?!! If it is… Yehey!!!
But why Talandar came to be? Why he was created if Fenix already existed?
Before Fenix became a Dragoon (or maybe a little after? I’m not sure on the timeline for that), he had a copy of his memories uploaded to a database. That database was then used to create the Purifiers, a bunch of robotic duplicates of the Protoss’ greatest warriors across history. The Purifier program was shutdown due to moral concerns, but Artanis reactivated it to combat Amon during Legacy of the Void.
For the sake of clarification, Dragoons (what Fenix is) and Immortals are basically life support. After being mortally wounded or disabled beyond repair, Protoss warriors can elect to have their bodies placed inside of war engines to continue fighting. On the flipside, Purifiers are 100% robotic copies with implanted memories, and were originally considered second-class citizens because of that.
Talandar came about because the Purifiers aren’t a perfect copy of their original. It’s around 97% accuracy, but the small deviations eventually lead them into being their own person. “Fenix” slowly learned about the person he was based on throughout the campaign and eventually realised that he just wasn’t the real deal. He took a new name so he could go on to make his own legacy.
… Thank you for explaining in perfect clarity!!
