Ok lets see:

Warhounds were kind of too good against everything (like a stimmed roach...) in the beginning, so blizzard nerfed them quite hard by simply giving them lower DPS. Seemed fair. It's still good at what it's intended to do, which is to be a mech unit that can counter immortals and stalkers. However, they are bad against zealots and archons. Really bad, they do not stand a chance, as Whitera demonstrates in his stream in every TvP.

So blizzard removes it, really badly nerfs the battle hellion (we need to make an armoury and research it? So this is like making fucking broodlords now? So what does terran have that is mech to counter zealots?

TvP is going to be boring same old bio that gets raped by storms and colossi. Hope the warhound returns soon.

We'd just like to point out once more that we're a lot more loose with patching in the beta in order to get faster turn around in balance testing. We can reduce weeks of time in bringing out patches for the beta this way.

Immortal change in our patch notes was a mistake. Mothership Core build time is indeed a change we're going out with today. But we feel getting the changes in faster and testing the balance of HotS as best as possible is much more important.

We have not changed our thinking when doing patches for our live game, but this is just something we're doing especially in the earlier stages of the beta in order to be the most efficient with balance testing.

Why would they buff the immortal vs warhound and then remove the warhound?

Only suggests that the warhound will return in some shape or form.

But inb4avilogetsmad regardless.

Carrier.... happy to see it making a possible comeback.... [although it seldom sees much light in pro matches]... perhaps a buff is in order as a result of the new metagame shitf the tempest change and toss air options will cause?...

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?

Why indeed.

Is it bad that I'm now more excited to switch to Terran in HotS after this patch?

And I thought Blizzard would never listen, faith in Blizzard restored!

Removing the warhound is the greatest change that could possibly happen, it would kill modern TvT and it would be just another a-move shit unit. So glad they removed it.

I'm a bit scared of it all though, what will us terrans get now? Spider mines have potential, battle hellions are awesome for mech but there's still something missing I think.

Some strange changes, but overall nice.
But immortal shields own mech, because they only have slow attacking units, guess its back to adding ghosts into mech again >.< .

Still alot of changes they'll have to do though, but they are getting there. Don't like some of the ways units evolve too.

surprisingly Blizz actually gave us everything we wanted... the only down side is TvT will go back to WoL styles
There is no failure. Only feedback.

I don't get why they changed Raven energy again.

And to all the people saying "Terran is dead now" recognize that they plan on readding a Terran unit, they just want feedback on what that unit should be so they can come up with a less boring, potentially more helpful design.
