The Warhound needs to get AA in its weaponry. Currently anyone going Mech is still forced to get a ton of Vikings.
Why not keep the Haywire missiles but increase the reload time a bit, reduce the regular attack damage but give it a separate AA weapon.
Haywire missiles, being a spell, would still do full damage to Immortals (or am I wrong here?) so Warhounds could help alleviate two of Mech's weakpoints: Immortals and Air units.
Blue flame Battle Hellions could keep the Chargelots at bay and Tanks/Thors could then demolish the rest.
Playing Terran is like flying down a MULE drop in a marine suit, firing a Gauss Rifle

Mech needs weakpoints, otherwise it would be imbalanced and no-one would go bio. And Thors + vikings do a pretty decent job of dealing with air. If that fails, just go biomech? (add a few marines)

I agree that the Warhound needs a redesign though. Even if they copypaste the Goliath it would be an improvement IMO.

Mech has weak points; it's not as maneuverable as bio, you generally need a much bigger force to do damage, and losing mech units is generally a lot more expensive. The point is that being forced to make vikings all the time is boring and lacks flexibillity. If you go mech, you should be able to just go mech and then choose what support units you want to use.

I always tought when HOTS hits they would revert the suply depot before barracks requirement and maybe buff tanks to what they used to be. With HOTS they have another chance to make the game work like it was originally wanted to be designed (Dustin DID, in my opinion, understand that every race needs to be overpovered, but later made the game boring as fuck with stupid changes for stupid reasons like small maps, 2v2 reaper/voidray abuse, too much micro required etc.) but theyre just building ontop of WoL the way it is now (boring) which is imo a bad thing.

Kinda funnyy i was thinking this yesterday, now might just be the time for that

Just a question. People were saying earlier in another thread against tank buffing that tanks shouldn't one shot zerglings/marines.

Why is this?

Yeah, I wouldn't mind if they would bring out more of the 'older' units. Goliath is a very versatile unit and isn't terrible, terrible damage.

Probably because people don't like their mistakes punished.

Even collossi and high templar don't one-shot marines. Harder units to acquire than tanks because they require unit-specific tech buildings. It's retarded.

Terran needs to be nerfed in a big way or Toss needs a huge buff.

I've never understood this either.

The tank SHOULD one shot Marines. Sure bio would be much harder in TvT, but the siege tank is supposed to be powerful and a good way of holding spaces with smaller amounts of units. In Mech vs Bio TvT right now if you don't have all your tanks in a damn ball you just lose and in that case they just run around the entire map avoiding your tanks. You can't possibly split your tanks up as bio is just far too good against small numbers of tanks.

Believe it or not, but Terran isn't the only race.

Tanks one-shotting marines makes them more powerful than collossi and high templars even though they don't require unit-specific buildings.

If tanks one-shot marines, then collossi should deal more damage and so should high templars.

I'm glad to see that the warhound and the swarm host got nerfed. Those two looked to be the strongest at the moment.

This made me chuckle:

- Revelation has changed from E to R.
- Entomb has changed from R to E.


Couldn't figure that one out ahead of time, eh?

Also: the tempest needs to be changed somehow. It's just getting shat on.

Its funny how people bitching about tanks one shotting marines and draw parallels to how the collosus should behave forget that the collosus is a very mobile unit while a tank in siegemode is freaking stuck.

I would like a change the haywire ability. Have overkill when auto-casted and no overkill when manually casted. Would entice crazy micro...

You mean like the raven?

Collossi are much more expensive than tanks and require a special building. You get what you pay for. They're also necessary for Toss to stay in the game against marines and marauders.

Nerfing tanks seems the best way to nerf Terran. And they need a nerf ATM.
