We would see nothing but bio, and it would take survivability from both the Hellion and the BH. why would it be stupid? vZ you'd be forced to choose between a defensive unit (firebat) or map presence (hellion) vP you still get the same result, a unit that's good vs. zealots... | ||

Its splash does 60 dmg - one shotting workers, marines, lings etc. And with sc2's pathfinding clumping units together, 1 or 2 mines can do ridiculous damage. How exactly would it be fair if they can be produced 2 at a time and are 1 supply? Wow http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Spider_Mine spider mines were 25 minerals and you get a free vulture too as long as widow mines can be diffused by detection they cannot be balanced at any supply cost | ||

Jesus, baneling drops without having to wait for drops + ventral sacs + +2 upgrade (you still need an armory, right?). un-fucking-believable. Considering you can kill it before it burrows, and once it burrows you can force it to kill just one worker, then it's not that un-fucking-believable. | ||

How would anyone avoid them? Or should they just do automatic damage and have zero supply? | ||

No, of course not. why not? bio needs bio upgrades. maybe its a ridiculous concept to transform mech to bio and a bio unit using mech upgrades and getting healed by a medivac, and building biological units from a factory.. | ||

If not, then the BH would synergize altogether TOO well with the other bio units, and it wouldn't synergize AT ALL with the other mech units, officially running mech into the ground. | ||

No, healing people with a sonic screwdriver attached to the bottom of a dropship is ridiculous. This is pretty normal by those standards. | ||

It allows Terran mech play to be more aggresive, because T can now actually make medivacs without simply wasting resources on a unit that will be utterly useless for the rest of the game apart from dropping. That should be exciting to watch at the very least, because as it stands right now (before the battlehelion change) Terran mech against Protoss honestly seems overly passive (aka just massing up a big tank ball). On top of that it probably is the buff that Terran mech needs against protoss to actually be able to soak up enough damage with their helions (otherwise the helions just die and immortals kill off the tanks with ease). The thing that makes me the most excited is that it probably allows Terran to biomech against Toss (Marines, BH, medivacs and Siege tanks) since the battle helions actually benefit from the medivacs. I think this style will become pretty nice vs Toss, which allows T to do 3 different things vs protoss which is absolutely amazing. I am a bit concerned about battlehelions in TvZ though... They might just completely break the match up in the way they are right now, but maybe Zerg can deal with it (especially with their new units). | ||

If I had that Gas I would build Ghosts. But I dont have Gas. Thats why TvP Mech isn viable right now. Its pretty nice but is just a nerf to pure mechplay (especially since Archons are now MORE stronger than even before. This change is only helping biomech which will consist of Battlehellion+mmmvg since tanks are still "terrible" in tvp | ||

There is never a scenario where you would ever want to drop hellions in battle mode. You will definitely be going for the worker line, as hellions can't kill buildings for shit. Workers generally form some sort of line when running away, you will need speed to catch up to them, hellions in a mech comp generally are expendable. BHs shorter but wider cone range and higher HP only really shine in engagement, not economic harassment. | ||

IMO, it should be weaker against air in some form. Give it less air splash, less movement speed against air, something. | ||
