So what does everyone think of the upcoming co-op commander Alexei Stukov?

I am really exited, he looks fun to play as. I love that everything he owns is infested even the buildings (excluding overlords)! I am also they are using the unused model the infested bunker! It is so cool! And that infested battlecruiser is awesome! I am exited to see all these new assets for myself and to see how other people will use them.

I might try playing him a few times.

That infested diamondback...Theres rumors he has Valkyries, which I so hope are true...

@nolanstar: Go

Oh yeah infested Valkyries you'll be so cool. I hope there would be lots of infested units, even if they are not used, like infested thors or ghosts.

@ArcaneDurandel: Go

Oh cool! I would take any new infested flying units. Burrowing banshees is a bit weird.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Yeah that infested bunker is so cool, it would be awesome if there was a shrike turret upgrade for the infested bunker. Another thing that would be cool is an infested planetary fortress!

Well if you look at Stukov himself he's just a man with burning cheese on his face and a massive tentacle spike sticking out of his shoulder, so it's not surprising that they would approach the design of his units with the same amount of laziness.

Alarak is somewhat fun because he trivialises every encounter with his hero abilities. I don't think that's a good tradeoff, since you should be able to make fights fun and challenging, not one or the other, but historically Blizzard has struggled with this kind of balancing when heroes are involved. For that reason alone I doubt they're making another controllable hero.

Another reason to avoid it is that they already have one controllable hero for each race now with Kerrigan (Z), Alarak (P), and Nova (T). Maybe when there are more commanders in general they'll look to expand on the hero ones, but for now I would prefer more dynamic maps.

I hope stuvok gets to used the l2d infested somehow.

Apparently he has a ultralisk with grafted on terran weapons as a calldown...

@alleyviper85: Go @SoulFilcher: Go

Oh yeah I forgot about that infested Thor.

@alleyviper85: Go Really?! Oh cool! When did you make it? Where can I see the old version? If you could make a renewed version that would be awesome!

@DrSuperEvil: Go

I am most exited about the infested battlecruiser, even better it is one of the SC1 battlecruisers, same as Hyperion.

@nolanstar: Go

Woah that would be cool, I always loved the idea of the terrains 'infesting' the Zerg, like in Heroes of the storm.

@alleyviper85: Go

I love the infested bunker! And the infested battle cruiser!
