-Get rid of widow mine.
-spider mines for hellions after upgrade.
-remove(or change the function) of blue flame.
-remove anti-mec attack on warhound.
-reduce warhound movespeed and attack range

What Blizzard should be doing, in my opinion.

While I like the idea that terran has a unit that is good against mechanical, the warhound was just not good for the game. Its a good thing they took it out. I would like to see the thor return. At this point the meching terran really has no way of fighting mutas, except with mass widow mines.

Glad the warhound is gone and very grateful Blizzard is taking such an active approach to the beta.

Zerg player. Very good changes all around, despite the only one to zerg being a fairly substantial nerf. Good incremental changes that will hopefully be making progress to an acceptable end result. Both Protoss and Terran should be even more happy with this -- especially Protoss with pretty much straight buffs in exchange for nothing. Oracle is getting more and more useful.


Why should terran be happy about losing a whole unit?


Because it's a TEEEERRRIBBBLLEE unit. Why the fuck would we want to play a race that is easier to win with but more boring while doing so?

Why would anyone want that?

Overall looks to be good, but can Terran get a good replacement for the Warhound please? It was a horrible design from the beginning, but at least it was something. . .can I get some new toys to play with, please?


1) Terran has twice as many toys as Zerg

2) The removal is temporary, and Blizzard are asking for community suggestions of how it should look when they bring it back.

Balance Update #2[9/14/2012]

We will be taking the beta server down this morning to make the following updates. Thanks for participating in this beta and providing us with all of your great feedback!

Oracle
  • We have removed the oracle’s Preordain ability. We have added a new area of effect ability for the oracle called Phase Shield.
    Targeted friendly units are shielded from harmful effects for 5 seconds. Fungal Growth, Corruption, Contaminate, Graviton Beam, Concussive Shells, Abduct, Revelation, Vortex, and 250mm Strike Cannons – Phase Shield removes the effect and prevents units from being affected. EMP – Phase Shield removes the anti-cloaking effect but not the damage dealt. Neural Parasite – Phase Shield will not remove this effect but it will prevent units from being affected.

    • Immortal Hardened Shield will now reduce the warhound’s Haywire Missile damage.



The only reason I think this Phase Shift ability is stupid is that this is turning SC2 more into a Dota or WoW game more and more everyday. In WoW you get debuffed....dispel dispel dispel...debuffed again....dispel dispel hurry fucking dispel.

Second example of silly mechanics. the Viper's stupid Abduct ability also is WoW and Dota type spellcasting business, "GET OVER HERE." This doesn't seem fitting for SC2 rts, I mean reallly?

- Oh crap he's going to Get-over-here me, Phase Shield Phase Shield!!


More spellcasters are a good thing, the more micro in this game and the less 1-a the better.

This looks awesome, glad to see blizzard is buffing the immortal vs the warhound....... oh wait. Ahh well the carrier is back, and the warhound is gone. I kind of wonder if this will push terran back to a less powerful state, and if it will go to far. But on the bright side toss will look stronger now, i might even play soem more beta.

Edit: I sounded to qq'y

Lots of air units for Protoss. 5 units from the stargate seems excessive. Strategy games are better when the core of an army is made up of ground units, and air units are more focused towards support and harass.

I btw want a fucking explanation about 125 Energy for Seeker Missile again ( give it a CD FFS is you don't like 1 Raven shooting 2 at the same time ) and what they plan about the BC. They remove the redline reactor issue a statement they will increase the damage but then they don't do that leaving it as shitty as it was before ....

The Thor is still in HOTS, I don't know what you're talking about.
It's quite alright, goodbye for now.

Haha terran is completely screwed now. Protoss got 10 times better.

Blizz needs to go back and make the warhound an anti air unit. But right now mech is completely dead with no warhound and upgrade requirements for battle hellions.
