It is a noob friendly unit. Terran is too weak on low skill levels. I hope they balance it i a way that it is used the lesser the higher the level of the participating players.

Edit: By low skill I mean non-professionals.

Pretty much. Instead of "stale tank lines" we'll see Warhound/bio death-balls

I haven't tried out the beta, but from it's stats the warhund makes the impression he will be rolled by pure bio. So if he goes bio/Warhound, focus on making more marines and less siege tanks.

I really don't like it, makes mech to mobile, and you don't really need tanks now :/

Warhound is the worst new unit by far. It makes the game boring, discourages tanks, it's ugly , has an ugly attack animation, and a stupid name. There's pretty much nothing good about it.


There is two things good about it, it's portrait and unit voice are amazing.

Siege Tank wars is the philosophy/ideology of playing terran: good positioning. Why are we changing the tradition of Siege Tank wars that started with the first starcraft game?

Another uninteresting a move marauder type unit. Yeah, it's shitty design, but what the hell are we going to do about it at this point? I don't see how we can rescue the messy trainwreck that is StarCraft 2.
If it's stupid but it works, then it's not stupid* (*Or: You are stupid for losing to it, and gotta git gud)

I've seen ForGG's MMM lose against CuteAngel mech (who was that again, sounds familiar),
but the latter one just used some warhounds to strengthen the traditional mech against marauders
(he went plenty of hellion/warhound with some tanks).

Part of what makes mech mech isn't that units come from the factory (as described in a pretty good thread that I can't find at the moment [EDIT: Thank you Gindo (In Defense Of Mech]) - it's that it's based around the siege tank and controlling space. The warhound COULD be useful in defending tanks from immortals - which is currently one of the biggest threats to mech (the other being charge zealots). However even if its damage was nerfed it's too fast and honestly too good - it's not like I understand the HOTS meta at ALL but in the few games I've seen the Terran starts off with some tanks, then realizes Thor/Hellion/Warhounds is so good you don't need to control space anymore. And I'm not saying it's imbalanced - Protoss I've seen are dealing with this by going mass tempest and kiting the units - but the play isn't really what traditionally makes mech "mech". It's like bio that isn't as good at dealing with air.

Everything else I think for terran is pretty great in the expansion. Widow mines have a lot of potential and I won't buy that it has to come from the Hellion ONLY because that's how it worked in Brood War. They're 1 supply, they build two at a time and they're cheap, and not only can be powerful on their own, they more importantly buy time to get siege tanks in place to control the space your opponent wants to occupy - that's very powerful. Battle Hellions have great potential in being both harass units and units that can protect siege tanks from charge zealots.

It seems like Terran players would rather have spider mines and an upgrade for tanks rather than the Warhound. Maybe Blizzard will listen to your feedback and make changes.

There's 2 options:

Keep it as it is with perhaps slight stat adjustments, and make Thors AA attack do 48 dmg to all types of air units. Nerf ground atack to compensate. That way Thor doesn't overlap with Warhound as ground support and never gets made.

Option 2, remove Thor, give Warhound AA attack and nerf other stuff accordingly.

I prefer option 1 personally. Either way, Mech REALLY needs a viable AA unit, not the shitty Thor we have now.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Terran is the only race that relies on micro and real skill to win, cut them some slack. I just wish they added tons of micro intensive units for P and Z to balance this out..

This is Mech

Blizzard come on. Why cater so much to the the extreme casual wing? When you do that you not only lose the hard-core wing, but you lose alot of moderates as well.

+ Show Spoiler +
I think the issue is that although Hardcore players stay around, the casuals are larger in number and buy more games, though none of my nub SC friends still play.

Well, blizzard killed BW for this thing. StarCraft fans are just trying to salvage whatever they can.

Try to be objective. Compare HotS to BW and TFT. When experiencing the latter two for the first time, pretty much everybody was like "OH SHIT, OH SHIT, I CAN'T WAIT!!". When it comes to HotS, most additions are either meh or making the game worse. There are tons of people who are majorly dissapointed. Blizzard is dumbing down the game even more, adding blatant a-move units and showing they have no clue were they're going with this expansion pack.

Instead of fixing the flaws, they are botching the game further.

I'd rather they bring back the Goliath. It's a standard mech unit that has high DPS (so the Immortal's Hardened Shield wouldn't matter), would still allow Immortals to be viable agaisnt Mech (which is important for balance), and it can be micro'd to better usage. It has an Anti-Air attack so it allows better transitions into Mech versus Zerg since the only anti-air Mech is the Thor (not counting the Viking) and the Goliath was known for chasing off Mutas in Brood War. It just bridges so many gaps that currently are presented.
