Imagine the Golliath morph into a Mega Warhound, Nydus Worm into a Nydus Sieger, Carrier into a Planetary Stalker...

Bringing back the Carrier is nice for nostalgia value, but it is still completely unused in competitive play. Has the Carrier ever been modified by the dev team? Has it ever been upgraded, sped up, or changed in any way? Has Blizzard ever taken the time to try and make this unit work?

To me, it looks as if Blizzard simply never cared about the Carrier in SC2, and was just waiting for an opportunity to get rid of it...but considering how important the Carrier is to SC lore, it just doesn't make any sense for them to think that.

The Carrier
Oh Carrier, you are our love
Where you make zergs QQ from above
My buddy stay in space
Show us that you can crush some face!

The Warhound
Unable to walk, unable to shine
To put you in war was truely a crime
Today you're gone and this cheers me up
To all have fun and good luck!

Yeah that's not Starcraft at all. If anything that type of mechanic detracts from depth of play. The end result would always be the same -- gain control of the "tcp" and pwn face with your "super unit" earlier than your enemy... Blah, that sounds awful. Thankfully Blizz would NEVER implement this type of thing, despite how wacky some of their decisions are at times.

Warhound/Battle Hellion were two things that I looked forward in HotS. These two units allowed Terran to be as much forgiving as other two races. Now it will be back to micro intensive while macroing behind terran which is inferior to other two races till you reach korean code A/S level. Only HotS kept me away from switching and now this happens lol.

Roaches ruined PvZ.
Infestors ruined TvZ.
Zealots and Marauders made TvP/PvT very so-so match-up.

I can't see Warhound doing anything worse to the game than any of those mentioned units. Maybe they were too strong, but such design unit was needed for Terran.

This is an amazing patch for sure. Love the removal of the abomination warhound, and also for them to try to make the carrier work. I have to say I'm really proud of blizzard being able to man up like this.

I want to adress all the terran QQers first though:
First off, the removal of warhound means there is a strong potential for another unit to be added.
Secondly, the warhound in its current state would completely ruin HotS.

And people complaining that reapers will be completely OP:
One reaper costs 50/50, which i would argue is about the same price as for a barracks (as gas is about worth twice as much as minerals), this means that all along you could just build and float an extra barracks instead to see up the cliff. It will just be more convenient with a reaper.

Roaches become useless after mid-game in PvZ, what it makes PvZ so boring is BL+Infestors compositions. Tempests adress that. You probably see this composition less and less within time. Carries + Oracle can be ok too with that new dispel ability.

Terran can deal with Infestors, but such a patience, such position, such map control and such micro is needed to deal with that that is almost non-fair.

Marauder made Bio Viable in TvP, but the Immortals made Mech useless.

You were trying to make fun out of me, but thats actually the whole point.
You either have to remove roaches/infestors/zealots/etc that reduce the complexity of other two races or give terran a unit/units that could make them just as forgiving as protoss and zerg. From what I'm seeing, that's not the case. Making Terran race equal to other races only on high korean level is a sign of very poor design game.

Keeping Terran as the "high skill cap" race is a better alternative to ruining the things about Terran that make them fun to watch and play.

I'd love to see Blizz go back and some of things with Infestors, Roaches, and Collosus that make Zerg and Protoss overly forgiving. But giving Terrans a stupid unit like Warhound only makes the game worse in this regard, not better.

Great patch. However I am still looking for a slight buff to tanks to make mech a bit stronger (as tanks has got relatively weaker after the arrival of new units to the other races). This will indirectly buff widow mines due to the syngergy effect.
