When you are screaming at your screen when three dragoons are trying to go up a ramp: “No. No. No no no no no NO! One at a time, come on! No, just you. No, stop it, DAMN IT. THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS!” | ||

Marauders aren't mech, and the point of putting warhounds in is just to make mech against protoss viable. Makes sense? No, because with other options vs Stalkers (i.e. Siege Tanks and Marauders) why wouldn't you put a unit in that fills the roles that are needed to make mech play viable without overlapping with Siege Tanks. Obviously you're not going to build just a mass army of Siege Tanks but as it is now there's no reason to build them at all from what I can gather. Just build mass Warhounds and Battle Hellions with maybe some Viking/Raven support. If the Warhounds weren't so good against stalkers you would still have to make Siege tanks making the mech army more diverse and it would make positional play with mech important whereas with mass Warhound/Battle Hellion it would be more of a 1-a blob. No need to be so condescending either by the way dude. It's just a simple discussion. Obviously no one really knows (yourself included) how this will effect the game so we're all just theory crafting with the information given to us. | ||

Play a PvZ or two if you think otherwise. You don’t understand. The Immortal has the two features that make it as skillless-A-move-Unit: A: it is not a terran unit B: You can use the A-move command to make it attack-move This is what is required to be a skillless-A-move-unit. Really, some terran players will not be happy until they remove the attack-move command from all protoss and zerg units. And control groups. | ||

Play a PvZ or two if you think otherwise. But it's true. Without Micro involved, Immortals counter mech core army, as Stalker does, or chargelott, or collossus. Put any thing in Protoss arsenal and it will counter mech easily, and, for most of them, without involving micro. So, if it's not the siege tank, Terran mech NEED one or two great units who stop that. Hi warhound, hi batlle hellion. As Bli² don't want to buff tanks. It's the only way to make TvP out of this stupid bio bullshit. | ||

That way you could pick a few warhounds to focus down an immortal and thereafter change back to target down a couple of zealots. Are you saying you want to make the warhound even stronger? | ||

As long as we have sentries and force fields, I am sure protoss will figure out how to get those little cars with legs all by themselves. Then the zealots can deal with the warhounds. | ||

It's basically a Stimmed Marauder with more HP and with a different unit type. Except it doesn't seem to have any of the Marauders already few weaknesses, and, unlike Marauders, can be gotten alongside Tanks and BFHs without production problems. And Speed Zealots aren't A-move? Terran really needs something to either take care of the Zealots or Colossus. Blizzard decided to give Terran both but I think that's a little much. If Blizzard is going to dump either the Warhound or Battle Hellion. I'd much rather take the B.Hellion because it may help to clean up the Zealots and have uses in the TvZ match up. Whereas the Warhound is exclusively TvP. (Although I'm sure it could be used in a TvZ match up, its less likely to be used) Nothing is wrong with giving Terran an A-move unit. Zerg and Protoss (especially P) have their fair share of A-Mover's. | ||

Immortals are not micro intensive. they're as micro intensive as any other unit with a range of 6. you just lose more rescources if you lose an immortal therefore it's advised to micro them. the other note i wanted to mention is that warhounds are the most cost efficient unit in the game vs mech and top3 cost efficient unit EVEN VS NON MECH. also the most supply efficient unit in the game. needs nerf of stats, current stats are unacceptable. | ||

I'm tired to say that just Warhound/BH is a pretty retarded composition. It doesn't have AoE, it doesn't have ground control, it's a nightmare on chokepoints and doesn't have skirmish/sniping potential, and Hellions are the only way to Harass. Archons alone pretty much hard counter it, Storms and Massa chargelot are great too. You need tanks and/or mines to increase ground control/AoE. Warhound/BH it's just the meat shield against mass immortal and mass chargelot that pretty much roflstomp WoL Mech. | ||

If you are commanding the haywire "anti mech" attack to be used when a handful of zerglings are attacking tour precious warhounds they won't attack since zerglings aren't mechanical units. | ||
