REALLY? Even when Blizzard give to Zeratul the Ihan-rii console you are not convinced we already have a Ihan-rii commander?
If Ourus will be used, I think he will have the âTassadar ghostâ form, and will have reference to SC1 tech.
next commander I think will be Selendis or Rohana btw

I think it will be Selendis, who will be air protoss with a mothership, then Niadra, using a psi-zerg theme. That could be it, but iâd love to see Tosh after that, finally putting predators in as units, along with the usual spooky specter army.
And then weâll be in 2024.

YOU will be the next commander. Entirely customize-able to the race you choose!!!
If commanders continue to be released theyâre definitely going to have to start making a lot of content from scratch as opposed to pulling from unused assets since those are running out. I sort of feel like stetmann was the last zerg commander even though his tech is supposed to be protoss/terran (mostly terran though) since heâs basically zerg. Mengsk and tychus recently came out too and since stetmann is partially terran I donât think weâll get a terran commander anytime soon (I kind of hate the idea of donny or kate but oh well). That makes me think protoss is mostly likely.
The only thing that worries me about that is that selendis and Jiânara have a little bit of overlap and in doing one they could make it impossible to do the other. I love theorycrafting so⌠Personally for selendis iâd want her playstyle to be Elite and hero-centric starting with her as a hero zealot and maybe choosing between different super ships. for regular units they could all be expensive combined ship ideas like void-phoenixes, temp-sairs, scout or arb-servers and super-carriers. Instead of other ground units perhaps she could get that scrapped hoverboard protoss unit built from the stargate as well. If it was made with different attack modes like a hellion it could be mobile and offensive in its default and and extremely tanky support caster in its second state. You could even just call it a heavy adept that rides its larger board which doubles as a hardened shield. just post up and use the shade ability to move without leaving defensive pose while selendis chops it up⌠lol iâm getting too excited even though weâll probably be let down and get a protoss air commander with no mothership, reused portraits/voices and no arbiter/mothership core etc 
Yes, really. If we get Jiânara; sheâd be another Talâdarim like Alarak. If we got Selendis sheâd be another Templar like Artanis. I donât see a reason we canât have more than one Commander who is apart of the same Faction. There are so many unused Ihan-rii units itâd be a waste not to use more of them.
I disagree with Ouros disguising himself as Tassadar and getting Brood War units and tech. That isnât what Ouros is known for. Itâd make more sense for him to have Ihan-rii as they basically worship Xelânaga. Which he is.

I donât expect weâll get Ouros any more than i expect weâll get a hybrid commander. Seems like there are a lot of other options to explore in the main 3 races first.

Selendis will probably use Golden Age skinset
Jiânara, unfortunatly I doubt we will get her⌠what they will put in the menu when you select her? A floating head? They donât even bothered to make a full character model for Mira Han, she just appear in a holo board at side of Horner.
And if they wanted to use same factions for multiple commanders, why they bothered to create a new faction from zero for Zeratul instead of using Nerazim?
Golden Age is still majority Templar. I donât see Selendis really using Nerazim Golden Age units.
Why couldnât Blizzard just make a model usable for selection? Because they didnât for Han? It made sense with Han to use her communication screen because that is how Han and Horner work together. They arenât in the same room. If they want Jiânara I donât see why they wouldnât/couldnât make a model for the selection screen.
Raynor and Swann are the same faction. Kerrigan and Abathur are the same faction as well. You use what you have. Ihan-rii are underused.
When Selendis attacked Heaven in WoL she used Nerazim units. So, I donât see why she cannot use them now.
One word. Lazyness. Just see the portrait for XelâNaga Enforces and XelâNaga Ambusher. Have NOTHING to do with the actual units. Or a lot of Ihan-rii structures. Are just recolors. Or the Cerberus portraits. They are not HD portraits like others, are just the unit model with a background, just the Larva Cerberus portrait have an HD model.
If you check during the campaign for the things that Swann send to you, the faction of them are stated to be âSwannâs Armoryâ so⌠Swann have his own faction, even if that is more likely a âsub-factionâ that Swann use to test veichles eccâŚ
Nope, in the Evolutionary mission is quite clear the Zergs used are not the same of the Kerriganâs Brood since during dialogue is quite clear Kerrigan is not aware of what that Zergs are doing in that planets and that Abathur send them to make experiments and create new strains. So, Abathur have his own Brood, probably the smaller Brood of the Swarm, but still, his Brood.
Neither of your examples work. They donât have different skin sets nor are they treated as different factions. Swann is apart of Raynorâs Raiders. That is what he uses. Maybe if he got Kel-Morian Combine skins he would be different.
Abathur is apart of Kerriganâs Swarm. Those units were brought into her Swarm. They arenât a faction.
Iâll partially agree Blizzard has been lazy. But not with everything. Thatâs part of why I think Ouros could use Ihan-rii units Zeratul doesnât use.
But still they have different consoles, and Armoryâs Swann is stated in-game as a thing a part from Raynorâs Raiders.
Exact part of Kerriganâs SWARM. Leviathanâs Brood too is part of Kerriganâs Swarm, but not part of Kerriganâs Brood. This is the difference. Abathur have his own Brood.
If that was the case they would use the unused Nerazim units for Zeratul instead of making a new faction that came out from nothing.
What Iâm not understanding is you claim that console and skins = faction yet skins donât = faction. Swann doesnât have a different skin set from Raynor yet he is apart of a different faction? Same with Abathur and Kerrigan. Same skin set yet different factions? If they can have same skin set but be different factions why is the Ihan-rii faction that Zeratul has the same as what Ouros would have?
Vorazun uses almost all Nerazim units minus a few. Iâm not sure why Blizzard hasnât made a Nerazim skin set pack yet (However, maybe someday they will). Ouros fits Ihan-rii well. I see no reason not to use them because Zeratul has a few.
Skinset are indeed different factions, the name of the skinsets are literally name of factions.
Zagara too didnât have her own skinset, AND LOOK NOW.
Just because they donât have a skinset now that donât mean they will never have. The fact that they have a console with a different look then their units too can suggest this.
Ourus cannot have it because Ihan-rii is already used. Already said that.
That is not a rule! Even if they are apart of the same faction that doesnât mean they canât become a Commander.
Am I blind/lost the plot or does Zeratul have Ihan-rii Colossus/Tempest/Carrier/etc⌠which I failed to notice?
No, Zeratul only has a few Ihan-rii skins. No Ihan-rii Zealots, Adepts, High Templar, Dark Templar (Void Dark Templar arenât Ihan-rii), Colossi, Tempest, Carriers, Void Rays, or even Ihan-rii building skins.

With the last commanders they are making new concept and mechanics based about some specific things about that faction.
Exemple: the Ihan-rii is a faction that instead of using technology use constructs, and for this they donât use Pylons or energy sources. A thing never used by a Protoss.
Reusing the same base mechanics for another commander and same skinset would make the commander pretty boringâŚ
Ah, I almost forget it. The Team Colors too proofs each commander have his own faction since after the release of Talandar they made each one of them have a different Team Color, thing that in the game is used for distinguish the various faction (even if in the last games if the faction is an enemy they just use red⌠dumb decision)
For the Void Templars⌠since they are summoned by an Ihan-rii structure and require another Ihan-rii structure, I think they are Nerazim warrior with Ihan-rii tech (similar to the Adepts of the campaign. Aiur units with Purifier tech), the Void Templar of the skinset would fit better for me.
Giving Ouros some unused Ihan-rii units doesnât mean turning it into Zeratul 2.0.
