The fact that the warhound even made it into beta is more then enough reason to lose faith in them already. Anyways, I was bored and typed "blizzard warhound" in google and this link to the bnet forum pop up. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/6551205172?page=1 In this post, the OP was expressing his concern toward the warhound as many of us had. Surprisingly it got a blue post, quoting: "We are very aware of a variety of concerns with this very early version of our beta for Heart of the Swarm. We are going to address design and balance issues as quickly as we can. Protoss and the Warhound have been the focus of our discussions over the last few days. I expect we will patch soon to try some more stuff with the Protoss and the Warhound. This will certainly include balance changes but may also include design changes. We are not discussing removing Warp Gates or making any changes to the Sentry. Sorry." I though this was pretty huge that it finally getting addressed and the voice of the people finally wins over their arrogances. EDIT: For fail grammar and spelling | ||

Terran wants to mech? Well you have two options, then: 1. Make Marines or Marauders 2. Get another core unit. Terrans have obviously decided that marine/tank isn't 'mech' enough for them, so you're left with option #2. Insert giant derpface here. | ||

I don't mind the idea of a faster & slimmer thor that can be helpful against mechanized units and otherwise it's use is closer to a simple meatshield for tanks and hellions. It wouldn't be too good against buildings so it would actually be a buff to defensive buildings and defensive play in general. No more 10 marauders killing 3 PF's in 5 seconds. As it is now, there's no way I'm going to use it. Why would I use an overgrown robot marauder when I have the dignity to not use marauders in the first place. | ||

Just like there are no strategies for Protoss that don't include zealots or stalkers and few for Zerg that don't involve zerglings or roaches, the options that don't include these Terran wants to mech? Well you have two options, then: 1. Make Marines or Marauders 2. Get another core unit. Terrans have obviously decided that marine/tank isn't 'mech' enough for them, so you're left with option #2. Insert giant derpface here. And here the problem starts. Terrans 2 "core" units should be: Marines and Tanks. This made SC/BW Terran so cool, you could (or like me couldn't :p) play basically 2 totally diffrent races/playstyles depending if you went for Bio or Mech. This techtrees dealt with diffrent treats diffrently (Bio used mainly Vessels to get rid of Lurkers/Defilers and drops for Mapcontroll) while Mech mainly used sheer power/Positioning to fight basically everything and Vultures/Mines for Mapcontrol. Bio was very micro intensive, Mech needed really careful positional play. Add just one "fast powerunit" to Mech and you alter it's whole personality fundemantally... Which is what happens with the Warhound. | ||

I've been trying to have faith for the last 5 years, alltho they just bring one dissapointment after another. SC2:WoL was the only thing they made decently since they released World of Warcraft (before all the expansions), and now they are only making it worse. Imo people should spam Valve to make a RTS game, perhaps we could see something really amazing. | ||

If there was anyone I could put in charge of SC2 balance it would be you (Assuming you wouldn't hate the role). You have an amazing understanding of the game which really shows in both your play and your casting (best caster around). But it also makes reading your threads so worthwhile. Thank you for explaining this to the community. Best of luck with your casting career -Big fan | ||

Here, you can use the warhound at its full potential very quickly and without that much effort it seems, and this reveal the poor design of this unit imo. Tough I don't think releasing a game as hard as BW atm would be good (though I love this game), accessibility being imo a condition, or at lest a valuable asset, to go esports now (LoL being a very good example, whether you like it or not...), there must be a high skillcap in order to see games from progamers and realize that "it's high level of play". | ||
