I am pretty sure that they will nerf the Warhound, because right now, it is imbalanced as f**k, and it will be good, buffer unit for a Siege Tanks. Currently yes, you don't need Siege Tanks, but to be honest, you don't even need the Marines or Battle Hellions, or Thors, Warhound is just that good. Even with Air units, you can't kill them before they destroy all your ground units and half of your base. So they are definitely gonna be nerfed, and I think that we will see true mech with introduction of Battle Hellions and Warhounds. | ||

Tanks are terrible - they aren't even useful. | ||

Stalkers have 2.95 movement speed, Warhounds have 2.81, and have 7 range, Haywire missiles have 9, while Stalkers have 6 range and stat wise are completely inferior to Warhounds, and cost 25/25 less... Warhounds definitely need nerf, and I would support the unit. | ||

Considering the warhound has longer range, does more damage and moves around the same speed, the stalkers get mauled with or without micro. However, the warhound will never teleport or have shields, so it could level out. Also, the building that makes the Warhound costs gas, gateways don’t. I we will have to see, but warhounds hate stalkers with the fire of a nova. | ||

They are meant to counter immortals just as battle hellions are meant to counter chargelots. And of course if you go about nerfing them terran just may go back to marauders and bio. Natural result of role overlap in such a design. | ||

Wheels will continue to be better in 400 years. Maybe it was found that creep causes more maintenance costs on vehicles with wheels and treads. Maybe they get all gummed up, start wasting lotsa fuel, and finally break down.  I also wonder if psychologically it's better for humans to be up higher in walkers so that zerglings aren't as scary and zealots don't seem so much bigger than us. As such, maybe it's time for Protoss and zerg to start making tripwires that work against mech. | ||

It ULTRA hardcounters some units without any micro involved...its not even funny. Upon seeing the reaction here I'm fairly certain though that this unit won't make it in the game ~~. | ||

Both of those cost a bit of gas. Still we will have to see how the unit works out, but its base damage may be a bit much. | ||
