I've never played any of the starcraft games, but i plan on getting SC2.

Does starcraft have a hero system that is like or in any way similar to WC3? I was looking through the SC2 feature page and saw that Jim Raynor was classified as a hero.

Thanks.

Blizzard actually announced that they do not support heroes in the editor. And to make sure that nobody will ever make a hero type unit, they've closed Battle.net and every game will now be under strict control by Blizzard.

Yes there will be heroes. Every bloody Reaper is a hero. And those lings..

GAH o_O

Gah O.0

GAH?!?!!?!

First. What's the *%&*%*&* difference between a normal unit and a ''hero'' if they're basicly the same type?

YES
YES
YES
YEEEES.

Heroes will be in the editor. Yes those you add 1000 agility on hero wars on. Those will be there.

YES there will be items.
Yes there will be custom abilitys.

Don't post things that already been said like 50 times!


yes there will be heroes in sc2 editor but i think that they will be like in sc (just stronger normal units who dont earn any experience)

You mix facts with ''I think''? Seriously, get your facts right before you even post.

Chat with Devs: One of the most popular questions we get when it comes to creating UMS (User Map Settings) games or mods is: Will there be a DotA for StarCraft II? For those who are not familiar, DotA (Defense of the Ancients), is a popular UMS game created for Warcraft III. StarCraft compared to Warcraft III, does not focus on heroes as much, and heroes or units do not have the same experience gaining mechanic as Warcraft III, making it difficult to imagine how a game like DotA could be reproduced for StarCraft. Nonetheless, after chatting it up with our devs, we found out the ability to allow heroes and units to gain experience is built into the Map Editor, though it will not likely be in single player or standard multiplayer. In addition, those units can also be toggled to have the ability to carry an inventory, which is also a characteristic needed in UMS maps such as DotA. With those two additions, we can rest assured that our clever community modders can handle the rest in creating some awesome custom games.

To be honest, I feel SC should just be an upgrade of Wc3. Im not going to go back to war craft just to use items. They should port all of Wc3's features, and to hell with keeping the concept of SC. As long as they just keep it in the editor like the hero feature whats so bad about it ? It can only enhance user created gameplay.

But whatever, I think people just want reasons to still play Wc3, but the fact is that SC2 preety much dominates Wc3 now.

@JustSpectating: Screw that I'm not wait 10 or however many years just to play another warcraft. I consider myself rather geeky but im generally not inclined to await a games release for so long. Ill be in my twenties by then.... jesus...

Well actually yes i did, and I loved it. I'm not saying change the fundamental makeup of that game by adding items and whatnot, I'm saying put them in the editor for other people to use. People are not going to play warcraft 3 just for the items function, So why not port it over to starcraft 2's editor ?
