Nope. Zealots? Well, Warhound is a ranged unit (a high range ranged unit) that is about 25% faster, you wouldnt even need hellions to be able to tear apart a zealot defense unless there was a choke with forcefields. Immortals? 1robo would not be enough, and it appears that Haywire missile bypasses hardened shield, and battle hellions are not armored. I think you could deal with warhounds alone, but the battle hellions pose the strange problem of seemingly hardcountering everything that comes with them, if you were to build 2 immortals, then you are handing the terran the resources to add 7 battle hellions to the fight, which is 840hp of light armored metal that has to be destroyed before you can reach the warhounds unless you plan on walking through the hellions IF you can.. Stalkers and immortals both have extremely low DPS vs light units, and it seems that Warhounds are the hardest non-flying-unit-counter to the colossus so far just keep in mind that wasn't a cost efficient battle. was just a random throw down of a random amount of units. there were barely more stalkers than warhounds, i expected them to crush. | ||

Thats the thing though, it was.. Checking the costs, you got pretty much as close as you could have done. 2100 resources of stalkers vs 2025 of Warhounds. | ||

Every six seconds, you get an extra attack that almost kills one worker? I'm not sold, I mean it's a good idea, but I don't see it EVER beating out the raw DPS of 8 stimmed marines, or the AoE of 4 BF Hellions. | ||

He wasn't offering to trade. He was questioning whether he was the only one who "got a beta key." | ||

What? It has 6 sec cooldown and does 30 damage. If you played HOTS custom map of Xenox, 2 Warhounds completely destroy worker line because of missiles and solid attack speed(1.3) that does 23 damage per attack. Of course Hellions are better, that was their only purpose, purpose they are pretty good at, killing workers, but saying Warhounds aren't good in killing workers is false. | ||

It's not just a bad, boring idea for a unit that adds nothing to the game other than a hard-counter. It's what Artosis would call, "the easy button". | ||
