EPTAs much as I applaud the design boys for being willing to try things, I do wonder exactly what they are smoking at this time.

There's in game lore for a reason. Everything fits together. You know what doesn't fit? A fucking mechanical unit that's now classified as bio. How in the hell does it go from being a go kart with a flame thrower, to optimus prime with a flamethrower and now he's bio? They really are running out of ideas on how to make terran better. It's really easy, buff the fucking tank. Make the tank the staple unit, not this other trash. | ||

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). Thank you thank you THANK YOU~! <3 | ||

The thing is so slow it makes un-upgraded overlords look fast. | ||

Does it make sense for the Marine and Marauders mechanical armor to be healed by a medivac that can't heal mechanical units? Seek sense elsewhere, bro. (would be nice if there was some kind of logic though) | ||

Even though i'm not to happy that we are back to only bio, it is still a really good patch! They do not and the phrase bio and mech seem to be holding everyone back. Why can't a new units just be buffed and everyone try using it? It has to be better than trying to fit it into this concept of what people think factory units should do. | ||

Stop using cool edgy phrases like that and realize that this is just a really REALLY retarded idea. The Battle Hellion is not affected by Bio Upgrades and is not built from a Barracks. You might be able to add some to your mix with a Reactored Factory, but how are you gonna keep up in upgrades? Even if it adds to a Bio Ball in the late game, so what? Wasn't Chargelot/Archon supposedly this unbeatable composition which now has a solution? | ||
