I don't know if you have played the HOTS custom map made by Xenox with exactly same stats for every unit, Warhounds completely demolished everything. Even against the Zerg, where they aren't supposed to counter any units, they are really great. People were doing timing pushes with them and Marines on one base, and the only thing Protoss did to stop it from entering their base is forcefield the ramp, while Zerg couldn't even do that. | ||

Immortal also ultra hard counters any mech units (also roaches, while sitting behind FF), warhound has basicly the same function as Immortal. And he doesn't get imba shield thing. So, whats the problem? Why whinning before the release? What if they make stargate tech viable, and it will be super easy to counter that with voidrays and tempests? You can't be sure about changes in HotS so please wait. | ||

But can you use blink to dodge the haywire missile and if so is it even worthwhile in a battle? | ||

I hope Blizzard buffs them more and gives them blink. Or seeker missile. | ||

You probably can, since they are usual missiles, but you would need really good reaction, since they are quite fast, and the problem is that Haywire missiles have lower cooldown than Blink. :/ | ||

Siege tanks are the worst possible thing to have against protoss after early allins like 1/1/1. EVERYTHING with stalkers involved just rapes them. Marauders aren't mech, and the point of putting warhounds in is just to make mech against protoss viable. Makes sense? | ||

Protoss players have always hated anything that counters stalkers. I say we remove stalkers from the game in order to punish them, and then grab some popcorn and repeatedly refresh the forums. | ||

I think people need to think outside the box when fighting the warhound and use a cheaper unit. Like the zealot, and add in voidrays or phoenixes, or some immortals. Or break out the golden oldies and forced field those warhounds away from the battle hellions, deal with the transformers and then kill battle tech walkers. We are protoss. We will be all right. | ||

The warhound is basically a tank from BW when it comes to stalkers. They blow them up the same way tanks would goo dragoons. Except, tanks were slow and took time to set up. Warhounds are fast and battle hellions kill the zealots that attack them. Its pretty crazy. If you put spider mines in front of warhounds, they will be destroy a lot of the toss army that we use nowadays. The maps seem way too narrow in too many places to engage it well. Based on what I have seen from numbers and videos. Of course I could be completely wrong but damn that warhound is strong against stalkers. | ||
