Warhound gone, but immortal change vs it?


My initial unrestrained joy has turned to confusion.

Because they probably have removed it as a trial. If they put it back in the immortal change will apply. Or they changed the immortal first and then decided to remove the warhound so both changed made it into the patch changes.

So Terran is forced to remain bio centric in TvP forever?

I'm not fucking pleased. It didn't even need to be removed, zealot archon absolutely destroys that shit anyways and it's bad in TvZ.


Whoa calm down with mines and battle hellions still in the game People can still mech in TvP for now in the beta and wherever T is getting rolled by P (which will happen) warhound will fill in that role just calm down and think things through a bit this is a months long beta process apparently so there is still plenty to come yet

Reapers seem ridiculously good in tvt now


yeah the new passive ability sounds OP as fuck if its not an upgrade.


I think they will make this an upgrade once someone figures a tank + reaper + marine push early game happen
But this ability is really cool once balanced since it will allow for some interesting stuff.

And yaaaay!!! Carrier has arrived!! Now only if they fix the interceptors to heal and make it microable.

"Immortal

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


Warhound

* This unit has been removed from the game."

Well, glad that's fixed then.

It might be for custom games, because there was always a bunch of stuff that you could add to the game in customs.

and t mech suck again


As a rather excellent TL blog pointed out, the warhound wasn't a mech unit. Being built from a factory doesn't make it mech. Anything is better than forcing a boring unit into a race just to make it competitive.

Hellion
Battle hellions can now be built from the Factory. It has an Armory requirement.There is a new upgrade at the Armory that will allow transformation between Battle Mode and Normal Mode.

Sorry for my probably ignorant question but where the hell did you build the Battle Hellion before this, the Barracks o_O? It was just a normal Hellion transformed yes, i.e. it already came from the Factory...

You know actually, from reading these changes and Protoss now having a way to disable fungal on an area of units, I'm really hoping they reintroduce Science Vessel with the same ability

Most people will be talking about the Warhound I assume, but it's interesting to note that mothership vortexes are now even more powerful late game vs zerg, since the oracle can protect the mothership from getting neuraled.

Also, huzzah for the carrier!

I really like the oracle changes, but I'd hoped they would have made entomb more interesting.
But I also think that phase shield on mothership is too strong.

Single items of patchnotes usually pile up over time and are collected. So no surprise they first made the Hardened Shield of Immortals work with the Warhound missiles, then later decided to remove the Warhound altogether.

It may also be an indicator that the Warhound might be coming back at a later time, because Blizzard at the moment wants people to use other units more and not entirely focus on this one possibly broken unit.
