Would have preferred removal of their healing 100x. On top of that I'm really not looking forward to a resurgence of incredibly lame cloak banshee rush strategies in ZvT because they are never a good game... either I scout and counter it and the game is over or they catch me by surprise and the game is over... was fun the first five times back in 2010 but now I'd like to actually play games out -.- That said, I still voted somewhat approve I agree with the above mentioned points, the removal of healing feels so much better. | ||

That being said, a re-work of a unit in the middle of a season is not exactly the right way to do it, either. Buffs to Banshees are great, but that's not the most creative buff we've seen from Blizzard over these years. | ||

Now we have return to Lings of Liberty, because Hellbats are now too weak vs. Zerg, enjoy watching more Innovation being beaten by Code B Zergs...sigh. I don't know how you come to that conclusion. but roach hydra is so bad versus Terran. | ||

Removing healing would have guaranteed no one using it ever again. The fact that hellbats can be healed or not doesn't change the current problem. They 2-shot workers in an AoE and they are so expendable; they're worth it as long as you can kill a couple of workers with them, and the medivac can just boost away and be saved most of the time. The hellbat is just a way too good unit altogether: way too beefy + has high damage AoE for the ridiculous price of... 100/0 . I don't know what Blizzard was thinking when adding this unit in the game. Terran was already the only race with AoE units that cost no gas (hellions), now they have an even better version of it :/ | ||

Not having to research siege mode isn't good enough? Could you argument a bit more on why they should buff tanks and why you think the banshee buff is not that good? | ||

Early detection and photon overcharge pretty much shuts down cloak banshees in other matchups. In TvT, I feel like it's going to turn into rock-paper-scissors bullcrap back in WoL. Apart from defending from all-ins earlier, tanks are useless in later parts of the game. Viper/Swarm Host shuts down mech completely and Immortal just counters all Terran mech. TvT remains relatively unchanged. Although the buff is small, it is not very meaningful. | ||

The banshee change however seems super random and totally uncalled for, I thought we were done with those... Lets just hope somebody figures out something super abusive so they have to change it back, I'm really sick of upgrades being removed/things being over buffed/nerfed just because they don't wait. | ||

 Of course with other suitable harassment replacements. I just feel it's a very boring unit whether it is used for harassment or even in late game TvT armies. | ||
