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. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

This made me chuckle: Oracle - 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. | ||

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. | ||
