TvZ is pure bio + hellions only, because of abduct on thors/tanks and extreme mobility of zerg overall with ability to strike from many places. And locusts are cool. Hellions are amazing too, marine-tank-hellion with BF I think can be standard comp. If warhound will be removed I'd be happy. | ||

Also a lot of the responses (although slightly buried in jibberish) are constructive/suggestive. | ||

While there's certainly units in both BW and WoL that aren't used in every matchup, the Warhound is the first one I know of that is designed from the ground up to never be used against one race. To me, one of the things that's made SC special is 3 unique races all balanced with each other, when most other RTSs can't even pull that off with 2. Blizzard showing a willingness to balance the matchups independently from each other scares me. | ||

It is not only A-move, it is a Marauder built from the Factory, filling the exact same role, except it deals extra damage vs mechanical instead of armored, so it won't be good against Roaches and Ultralisks. Or Zerg in general. It is terrible. | ||

It is terrible. they obviously wanted to give terran a mech option vs protoss because they can already mech vs zerg, that being said mines/warhound seem way too cost efficient. they have to do reduce the dps of warhounds and mines shouldnt be able to target workers/air units p.s: i only watched 5mins of the battle report, didnt see the terran make any mines but im assuming they still have it | ||

Because apparently having lines of tanks in strategic positions is less fun that A-moving two balls together (which Terran can already do in TvT with Bio). How bout this instead of the Warhound and Battle Hellion. Remove the Thor (or keep it) and put in the Goliath II or whatever, make it armored and give it something like 160 hp with 2 armor, and do 25 damage per second vs light and 10 damage per second vs everything else, while giving it a powerful anti-air attack with an upgrade to make it do splash damage. And then we've fixed the problems with Terran Mech with a single unit, instead of introducing all these new problems with 2 units. And you can actually use the Goliath II vs Zerg to counter Mutalisks. You'd probably have to remove the light tag from Hydras though. | ||

No wonder Blizzard doesn't listen more to the community. =\ You are oh so wrong dude. Brood War veterans mostly give insightful info and Blizzard or DBrowder they don't listen to community they just blindly defend what they've created. Everytime I read some good article I feel like a part of me is dying (SC2 sense). They took out so many skillful things, like moving shot. The unit are clumping which is not pleasing to the eye and affects gameplay also it's not looking natural (very easy to solve this, a guy showed it on a replay). etc. etc. Yesterday I've read a great conclusive article about mech and it really made sense. No bullshit, no whine, just analyse. Some rotten apples spoil a good bunch. Damn dem blizzarders they did no progress at all. I lost faith in my no1 company after Diablo 3 and I'm afraid they might fuck HotS up. I' ll play it for sure, but it also might be a short experience as I don't give a sh.... about campaign. In the long run I don't think SC2 will be very successful with what we got. The player base is thinning every season. Dota 2 has more functions in beta than the game that's out for 2 years and I think it will eat it as an esports. LoL is already better in terms of viewership. Blizzard is stuck in their cave and it seems they have no plans to move out soon. Maybe this whole Bobby Kotick theory is true. EDIT: SC2 is overrated and overhyped. | ||

Predator (Terran campaing unit) could be more interesting :D How it it different from a Goliath? Both of them walk, both of them shoot stuff. Or is it mech because it was in BW and its ok then. How about the vulture? Sure the vulture is longer, but they both shoot stuff. The vulture puts down mines too, but it does shoot. I love the ever shifting definition of "mech" and what is good and bad in SC2. | ||
