Don't know if it is enough, I would put them to be at least 3 population, since WH being the same population as Zealot or Roach is ridiculous, but we will see. | ||

But no the above is redundant as just massing warhounds is better. | ||

Do you have the beta? I've been testing it myself and it actually loses to everything the toss has but stalkers (pre-patch) per cost. | ||

- Viper Blinding Cloud now hits everything, but the radius of effect has reduced from 2.5 to 1.5. Isn't mech kinda spread out anyways? Usually? And even if you hit a ball of Hellions perfectly, how many do you get? Like 6? /edit: Forgot about Protoss... probably really okay against Toss... I think they could have easily left this at 2.5. Or at least 2, so that it works nicely with Fungal. To be honest, I just hate that Blizzard slowly is making every spell 1.5 radius <.< | ||

If Protoss doesn't...then obviously they will tweak the haywire missile. Void ray openings vs mech are really good btw. i already posted in your topic but will here again what about protoss players trying immortals in warp prisms and dodging auto attack and rockets from warhounds? I mean it would probably help a lot in early to mid game, as for mid late game mass colossus should do well? | ||

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. | ||

Look, it's been three or four days since the beta began. Even if they started re-designing it the second it was first suggested on the forum, they wouldn't even have time to change the art. Give them a few weeks before saying they "won't" change it. | ||

Really? I got the impression they're trying to break up deathballs. Range 1.5 practically screams "spread your fucking units." | ||

I hope they will add better maps for Hots. With these we wont see true super late games very often and it may stay quite imbalanced until game is released. | ||

We're just as flabberghasted at how awful and ugly it looks as we are at it's stupid autocasting missles. You could completely re-write the units damage / stats and we'd still think it's a shitty looking unit. The autocasting missles are just icing on the cake. Blizzard literally interpreted "mech" completely and utterly incorrectly. It's embarassing. | ||
