The problem with the warhound is that it does not address any issues with mech. The unit makes mech a mobile composition, which is not what we want, does not provide a aerial attack for terrans to deal with voidray, tempest, phoenix, muta, ect, which is what terran needs. Leave the battle hellion alone. Make tanks siege mode attack a bit stronger. (or something of this sort, don't know how it would effect other match ups) Nerf Warhound ground attack substantially, and add a effective aerial attack. Ideally, the warhound should not be absolutely decimating stalkers, it should be matching up fairly to them. While also having the capability to pew pew some air units. | ||

But the fact of the matter is, the role the goliath played, is a big chunk of what mech was missing in WoL. Other then having something to deal with those meddling charge-lots of course. It can functionally be very similar to the goliath, but can still have a different model and name for the people that want something new.. | ||

But i don't mind giving the other races some of their you cannot retreat medicine though for some while longer. Well first round of changes were easy to guess, next round will be harder. PS: i am above gold and i like the current warhound design and ... pilot <3. Okay if they would make a MadCat design and put a girl with a neko hat in i would be even more of a fan of it. But damn the warhound pilot is so cool. What Protoss unit CAN actually retreat? Blink stalkers and pheonix? I really don't know whats with all these low blows in a expansion discussion when they aren't even remotely thought out and/or funny. Specially when the race with concussive says that >.< | ||

Donk think protoss should complain about the speed. Most other complains i support though, the unit looks realy bad and unimaginative and its just to strong to simply mass it seems. Somehow i dont like terran beeing op, i feel us terran players are meant to struggle and fight an up-hill battle in the evil universe  | ||

The truth is that Toss always gets the raw deal, and I'm sick and tired of it. For over a year Terran players could get to grandmaster without even bothering to upgrade to ghosts. Now in WoL Zerg have to do nothing but follow a recipe. And now they basically kill Toss in the expansion and don't even make a token gesture toward rectifying the weak and tedious-as-fuck-to-control units. I won't be buying the game unless and until they fix this broken bullshit. | ||

Also, is there an option to change the red health bars of the enemy back into the old colors? I'm not in the BETA but I think I saw an option when I was watching Stephano's stream. | ||

The amount of non-Korean Terran players in master-GM compared to the other two races is laughable. | ||

The Blinding Cloud change is big. It was always a problem that no one is going bio now that mech is much easier, and a spell that affects only bio would essentially be limited to ZvZ. So it's cool to see it affect everything, it'll be a much bigger part of the game now. However it already had a small radius. Now it's teeny 0_0 The warhound should just go. It's bad. I genuinely wonder what the fuck they were thinking. It's so...nothing. It's just a ranged ground to ground unit. It's unmicroable. It's about as interesting as a worker. And on top, and most importantly, of that it solves a problem that doesn't exist. What is it's PURPOSE? What does it add to the game? It makes going mech easier because it's an easy, boring unit. This can't be the best they can come up with. EDIT: basically everyone should be lobbying Blizz as hard as possible to get the fuck rid of this piece of shit unit. I'm sorry but there it is; it's awful. Some people think it's game breakingly strong but I don't believe it will be by release, but it won't be 'balanced' because you can't balance a unit that doesn't fit in the game. You can force it in and make sure it doesn't kill other shit too fast. | ||

That way you can have the spell be either used in retreat or in have the viper be more at risk for trying to use it offensively. To have it work more positionally rather than the feel that it can just be cast from everywhere like the abduct spell. I agree with the warhound and the swarm host change though. While I love the swarm host's concept the locusts were just a little bit too beefy for a free unit. Warhound should really just be removed, see absolutely no room for excitement in that unit. | ||
