But the healing ability and viable drop potential makes up for it by far. I just hope blizzard will give tanks a late game upgrade to buff their attack vs shields. That is very small nerf compared to the buff. Archons are like the only units that will kill Hellions faster, while Hellions are now much much better in every other situation. Also, Archons maybe won't even touch the Hellions because of the Widow Mines. | ||

The scv healing was already quite a bit, you add medivac healing on top of scv healing together.... No other unit right now can be scv healed and medivac healed at the same time. other than scvs | ||

Well, Battle Hellions being bio does make the transition from mech to bio smoother, and also encourages more mobile mech play outside of Hellions. Player is encouraged to get Medivacs, and then he might be thinking "I got all those medivacs, I mind as well do some drops or get some bio". I like it as a spectator, but it definitely feels awkward that a unit has to transform in order to get heals. | ||

Because it's a beta they're allowed to do that. They've tried to make mech work without turtling up with Siege Tanks with Warhounds which didn't work so they've scrapped the idea totally and are now trying to focus on Mech/Bio mixes I'm looking forward to trying MMM+H for standard play and Mara + Medivac + 2 fact Hellion openings then Ghosts if they go straight into Templar tech. | ||
