Gorge: Flying evolution concept

As it stands the Gorge has difficulty healing Skulks in combat because of his movement speed. As a flying unit with say 50% of the speed of a Lerk, Gorges would be able to Heal Spray Skulks while trying to dodge damage and giving it a more aggresive combat healing role. Also allowing easier placement and healing of hydras on ceilings, and assisting Lerks with heals while they are mid-flight.

That could lead to some nasty hydra placements tho..

I'd rather just see lerk lift back

I'd rather see Gorges able to climb/wall-walk on Infestation.

I like this idea

The concept is cute, but I prefer Kuban's idea as well. Maybe the Gorge would slide back down if he hasn't moved while on an infested wall :P

Plus, the Gas Glands gives me a funny mental image involving Gorge's behind xD

Back when belly slide was actually good, it accomplished the same goals. Just sayin'.
