EPTI'm glad the warhound is currently gone. They need to fix widow mines to be more like spider mines. They are too expensive right now.

The battle hellion is just a minor transformation to how the hellion shoots and the widow mine is more like an ability than an actual unit. Wol terran and Hots terran basically look identical right now, they need to add a unit to mech that will make mech as good as bio or bio/mech. Dude, now we have Battle hellions that are better at protecting Tanks and mines that are...to much supply probably. If this is not enough to make mech TvP viable, and i personally don't think it is, then we will see more changes/ buffs. But first you have to test it. Right now, bio and bio/mech is better than straight mech. The reason people use mech is because mistakes aren't punished as much as in bio and bio/mech. If you make no mistakes with very high apm, bio/mech and bio will always be better than mech unless they addd a new unit to mech......... You are wrong here. Mech is stronger and more unforgiving, not bio. Battle Hellions will also tank a lot more dmg from marauders (vs bio) and Tanks (vs bio mech). | ||

They removed it to redesign it. While redesigning the unit, they would like you to test the other units. The battlehellion and widow mine got almost no use because the warhound was so good. Now they can be tested and buffed if necessary. | ||

Protoss only got shit on in HOTS closed beta release. Blizzard said they wanted to help out Protoss to make them more fun to play, They gave us a bunch of changes. The beta is still closed and it will probably last a couple months since Blizzard is probably responding to changes we think will be good shows they somewhat care, I say somewhat because wtf why are colossus still in the game? Other than that it seems that Protoss actually feels like it has cool new stuff to work with in HOTS now. | ||

I always liked the idea of the slow moving, slow firing walker that had a long range anti air shot that had a tiiiiny amount of splash and did major bonus damage to light units. I just always liked how they felt in TvZ. Definitely think they have a place in mech play. | ||

If we don't start using the Carrier they will take it back out. Is it possible to go Air fleet much like Sky Terran? | ||

Builds from the Factory Body model, movement speed of the Warhound Long-ish range AA of the Thor Medium range weak ground attack from the Goliath High health to absorb Protoss death ball attacks Can upgrade to unlock Whatever-Mines (yes, like the vulture) Make the Mines cost 75 bucks or whatever and limit to 3-5 each Warhound, something like that. Now Terran Mech has transformer Battle-Helions to tank the front line against Zealots/Zerglings, Tanks in the back to do the big damage, and the new Warhound to absorb shots for the fragile tanks and defend against Mutas/Voids/ or any other air problem (CARRIERS! :D) And on top of that, Terran also has incentive to build Warhounds to access Mines, which do NOT eat up supply anymore and also bring us another step back to the ole' golden days of BW mech. Could be coolish? | ||

oracle is changing in the right direction. phase shield is a good idea, it really does need some way to participate in fights to be worth it. it might even be TOO good, but we'll see i guess, the energy requirement could be an easy fix for that. i guess it's sort of like defensive matrix so it's good to see that dynamic coming back to the game in some form. but i still think entomb is a stupid ability. i'm glad they're trying this tempest and carrier thing. the tempest does something the carrier doesn't cos of its insane range and i think it has potential, but it'll be more interesting if they have the freedom to tweak it in ways that doesn't ruin it as a capitol ship. i think basically what they're trying to do is make it so that stargate tech can be well established and well supported long before carriers are coming out, so it's not such an insane risk to jump forward into carrier production. hopefully they succeed in using the tempest to plug that hole. everyone knew the swarm host was gonna get nerfed. i'm just glad they didn't overdo it. i think they realize it's already a very important unit and they don't want to destroy it before it even has a chance to settle in. other changes are fine i guess. not surprised they didn't touch the viper this time. game's looking good | ||

They will bring back the Warhound, but redesigned, and until then, people will use these units and we will see how it goes, so they can get the stuff buffed/nerfed. Like this, they couldn't get any feedback about other units except for Warhounds that were too good which resulted in making just Warhounds or mostly Warhounds every game. | ||

I like the idea of putting these on a unit like spider mines were. While the Warhound was broken they way it was, I don't think they needed to remove it completely, nor do I think it won't be put back into the beta Edit: Specification | ||
