I agree that some units should have negative abilities. I'm not so sure about random-based stuff however, I think they should move away from that as much as possible.
Ogre/Troll/Huge Orc:
Unstoppable Fury - The "Ogre" puts himself in a state of Frenzy, making him uncontrollable but greatly increase his attack and damage. This lasts 3 turns.

Hmmm I don't think that. I like a bit randomness - a bit luck to it. I don't like them going away from the radnom skill choice, either, btw. It was very characteristical for HoMM and I, personally, liked it.

You do of course realise that all units are able to attack walls, gates & tower in HoMMVI. It was one of the major new things that Ubi announced when they announced the game.
Oooooh...forgot about that! Hmmm...gonna change it to "do far more damage than other units".
Negative abilities allow a unit to receive stronger positive abilities as compensation. So I guess a few can be thrown around.

Are you sure about that? I know they annouced that creatures will be able to attack walls, but I don't think they said ALL creatures will be able to. I assume (and really hope) that it's an ability and only some creatures will be able to do it. Big ones, like the Cyclops.

Yes. I am very sure of this. It was announced and our friendly local insiders have confirmed that any and all creatures are able to attack walls, gates and towers.
They did also say that some creatures are better at it than others and that the non-specialised creatures do very little actual damage. Especially when compared to specialised creatures or seigemachines.

Love that idea of blind rage! :-)
We also need some abilities that involve cooperation between two units, directly or indirectly. And example of direct cooperation would be two units attacking a target at the same time. Indirect cooperation is more like shaman inflicting a curse on a unit and harpies doing bonus damage to it because of their "Furious Evil" ability. Harpy's harassment plus goblin's trick shot is another example of indirect cooperation.
Need a few of those.

Abilities for harpies.
Fury Dive - It is similar to Battle Dive ability. Harpy grabs a unit (limited to her own size, 1x1 squares if she is a 1x1 square creature) into the air and drops it somewhere in the battlefield (it must be unoccupied area). She lands on the position on which she activated the ability, but if that position is occupied, she lands on a free position next to that.
Hunger/Man Eater - While carrying target in the air she has 15% chance to eat several units depending on the number of harpies to heal or even to resurrect her own numbers while she is in the air performing Fury Dive.

giant orc :
Stomp : activated ability. stun all adjacent creatures and move them back by one tile.
goblins thrower : can throw goblins anywhere on the battlefield. it works like teleported assault, but a few goblins may get killed.
goblins :
ride the cyclop : let's say you have 250 goblins and 20 cyclops, if you use that ability, 20 goblins will go ride the cyclops, so you'll have 230 goblins left.
goblins can stop riding the cyclops when they want. if a cyclop is killed, the goblin riding it is killed too, otherwise, you get your goblins back at the end of the fight.
the bonus for riding a cyclop is a small bonus of speed and attack.
