Sacrifice a Zergling, which would be a very cost efficient trade of 25 minerals for 75 minerals, 25 gas of the Widow Mine.

Also, they finally changed the SCV build icon positioning in the command card. As a grid player, that really bothered me.

Instead of removing Warhound, why not removing terran from the game ?
I see no point in playing HOTS if only 1/2 new unit in terran.


Just give me back BW units with sc2 interface and i'll be fine.


Terran doesn't need as many new units as the other races as we have the most versatile units.

I'm happy the warhound is gone. TvT is saved! :D:D:D

Terran will now be the exact same thing in hots as it was in wol, blizzard better have a new unit planned for terran or it will be incredibly boring playing terran........


Except that's completely wrong, you're saying no new units means things won't change, changing many things around terrans and giving them the small little extra options will vastly change things after the metagame develops.

These changes ought to go a long way toward making late-game ZvP less gooey and gross; thank God for that, and props to Blizzard what look to be solid changes across the board.

Why not just send 1 zergling to trigger the mine? Terran just traded gas for 25 minerals

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.

we have told them 10 million times jsut give us the vulture but they neven listen

Carrier is back!

We continue to receive a lot of feedback from both our community and professional players suggesting that the tempest is difficult to use. We agree that it’s not an easy-to-use capital ship like the carrier, and feel it could be cool to have two big air units in the protoss fleet. The carrier will be the easy-to-use, multifunctional capital ship, whereas the tempest will be a more strategic and positional unit that can’t just be blindly massed. We know how much the carrier means to everyone and think that this is a great opportunity to give the carrier another chance before making a final decision on the unit’s future.
OH GOD YES! :D

Battlecruiser dmg vs. ground back to WoL, Hunter Seeker Missile energy now again 125.... Ô_Ô

I hope they will implement something different in place of the Warhound, otherwise I really feel like Terran gets shafted bigtime

Also, if you read the comments, the warhound is NOT gone forever, it is due for a redesign. Maybe it won't be named warhound anymore, but as I read it, there will be a replacement or rework of it. Don't despair Terrans! I also honestly believe that the widow mine won't stay as is, it will need to come down to 1 supply at least if nothing else changes.

Damage reverted back to 8 for BC, SeeKeR Missile reverted back to 125 energy, Swarhmost damage upgrade only increases by 1 now.
