Warhounds are still totally broken, I have a 99% winrate TvP doing a warhound marine medivac build, + Show Spoiler +
12rax
13gas
18fact
add 2nd gas
after 3 marines add tech lab on rax
swap fact with tech lab-> constant warhounds/starport
push out with 2 warhounds 6-8 marines 4 scvs and medivac -> win almost all games or get so far ahead nothing else matters

if protoss doesnt die to it they put themselves ridiculously far behind defending it and I just expo into marine warhound behind it. the attack speed decrease hardly changed anything. I've literally only lost 3 tvp's in over 40 games, and I didn't do my build in the losses. the build above is about as optimized of a warhound 1-1-1 that I've found, you get 2 warhounds by the time the medivac pops (at like 6 minutes) and its almost impossible for protoss to defend and definitely impossible for them to defend it while playing a standard build.

also I think mines are still really cool and one of the more fun units but they actually suck, anytime I find myself making them I'm losing.

So far i'm not impressed at all by HoTS.. most of the new units looks boring on streams, just as I expected when I saw their descriptions :\

What is the difference between a marauder and a Warhound?
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

warhound has 100 more hp is twice as fast has more armor has bonus damage to mechanical/heavy units and never dies.

That's funny and depressing at the same time.

Has the new patch been released yet? If so, do you think the changes were enough?
ModeratorProtoss all-ins are like a wok. You can throw whatever you want in there and it will turn out alright.

Have you experimented whether bio is still viable, or do the unit additions of all races really force you to go mech most of the time in your matchups?

Bio is definitely viable (at least tvz). Saw a terran beat Stephano with bio in a pretty long game ^^.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Another great look into HotS for those like me who can't play it

Thanks Lucky! I hope the expansion will allow for more diverse and exciting play, since a lot of people don't seem to like SC2 (and for several quite legitimate reasons).
