* LyingCreator: As the trilogy's story unfolded, a lot of fans pegged it as being a rehash of ''VideoGame/WarCraft3'' -- an outside force (The Hybrids/The Burning Legion) has arrived to destroy the world, and the three warring factions (Terrans-Zerg-Protoss/Humans-Orcs-Night Elves) put aside their differences and join forces to defend their home and drive back the outsiders. Blizzard shot down this idea, noting that between the clashing personalities and personal grudges of the leaders of the three races, and the bitter history of warfare between them, it was unlikely for them to all come together as one. [[spoiler:In ''Legacy of the Void'', this is exactly what happens in the Epilogue -- the three races team up and enter the Void to destroy Amon.]]

* FanNickname:
** The Overlord's ability to produce creeps is referred to by fans as "Diarrhea".
** Anything [[VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} Arthas]]-related for Valerian.
** Some people like referring to Rory Swann as a "Space Dwarf" since he's short, stocky, bearded and good with machines. He does spend all his time in [[VideoGame/DwarfFortress Bay 12]]. No Scottish accent, though.
** Watching commentary replays of pro-level games requires learning an entire fan ''vocabulary'' of names for the different build orders and strategies used, especially since several terms sound similar but have different meanings, such as six-pool[[note]]A Zerg player creates a spawning pool with his sixth drone[[/note]], 4-gate[[note]]A Protoss player builds four gateways before focusing on anything else, regardless of worker count[[/note]], and one-one-one[[note]]A Terran player builds one Barracks, one Factory, and one Starport, racing up the TechTree to air units as fast as possible. Occasionally called the Destiny Cloudfist Build by Creator/HuskyStarcraft fans.[[/note]].

*** In Zeratul's case, the original voice actor [[AuthorExistenceFailure died]]. Said voice actor, Jack Ritschel, had voiced no less than ''five'' major characters in the original ''[=StarCraft=]'', so his other characters appearing in this game (the Overmind and Artanis, and possibly General Duke for his one line) also got new voice actors.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A number of features in the single player were cut.
** In Wings of Liberty, Raynor was supposed to be able to walk around the ship like in an adventure game, and there were several subplots including one where the Hyperion's crew staged a mutiny if you couldn't afford to pay them. The Hyperion was reduced to a few interactive objects and the side plots were cut entirely.
** In Heart of the Swarm, the concept of 'essence' was supposed to be worked into the plot more naturally. In the final product, it's mostly Dehaka and Abathur talking about it non-stop. A VAST number of units were also cut.
** In Legacy of the Void, Zeratul was originally supposed to be the protagonist. The gameplay was supposed to center around gaining the favor of various Protoss factions. While a part of this remains in the final product, it was vastly simplified.
** Several multiplayer units were also cut, including a flying builder unit for Terran called the Nomad, Zerg Queens that gained power as you increased your tech level, and a Protoss infantry unit that did more damage with the more kills it got.

* NoExportForYou: The jukebox has some pretty awesome tunes. Too bad you can't have it on your MP3 player if you live in the two-thirds of the world where iTunes doesn't sell music tho. And to drive the insult home, even if you have successfully ripped the music out of the game files, you still won't have the extra tracks only available on the digital album. Plus, the files have been filtered to sound as if it's being played on a jukebox (complete with vinyl crackles) so it won't be satisfactory to listen from an MP3 player

* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: A case of a ''character'' being rescued from development hell.

And the first DLC after the conclusion of the main series will have her in the leading role.

*** Kerrigan's change is somewhat bittersweet. While her original VA, Glynnis Talken Campbell, is adored by ''StarCraft'' fans, her new VA is universally nerd-approved Creator/TriciaHelfer. They go so far as to redo several of Kerrigan's lines from a pivotal moment in the first game with the new VA, so at least they didn't half-ass it.

* MythologyGag: The third Terran mission is the third Terran mission from the previous game. In both missions, you control a small Terran enclave next to a huge Zerg base and you must endure increasingly large Zerg attacks for 20 minutes while an evacuation fleet arrives.



* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Early footage of the single-player campaign hinted at a subplot of the ''Hyperion'' crew considering a mutiny due to being underpaid and overworked. There is a similar subplot in the final product, but the motivation for the crew is not working conditions, it's [[spoiler:Jim's decision to work with the Dominion to defeat/rescue Kerrigan]]. The same footage showed you could return to Mar Sara for a mission later in the game. This was also scrapped.
** Kachinsky was originally planned to be another main character with his own set of missions to provide.
** At some point Donny was planned to be killed by riots during [[spoiler:the uprising on Korhal after "Media Blitz"]]. He would then have been revealed to have been a robot. Though this plot element was scrapped, his sparking half-destroyed robotic body is still in the map editor.
** All over the place with units, who had abilities constantly shifting around during development. To list what would be some of the more influential changes:
*** The Viking would have been built from the Factory with the air mode transformation as an upgrade. Around this time there was a different Terran ATA unit, the Predator.
*** The Queen would have evolved along with the player's Hatchery, gaining more HP, power and stronger abilities as it evolved.
*** The Carrier would have been replaced by the Tempest, a weaker anti-ground focused unit, and the Void Ray, then the Warp Ray, was the new Protoss capital ship.
