I realise a stealth reason why battle hellions can be healed.

Gives mech terrans more reason to get medivacs. meaning MORE DROPS! :D

So, It's officially a firebat?


Funny as it is that were my exact words when I was done reading it. This change may make bio hellion timings retardetly op though as I can't see any early-mid game zerg unit that can be cost efficient vs a battlehellion being healed.

The purifier change sounds kinda meh, part of why it allowed you to be greedy early game was the fact that it only took 25 more energy for purifier to be ready, but atleast they buffed the damage. Oracle changes sound really good and the mine change is just awesome! I just wish they'd patch even heavier atm tbh, no reason why "carriers can now be microd" shouldn't be on that list.

Nice, I like the widow mine changes. Makes dropping widow mines on workers more viable.


That's unfortunately true. I really thought blizzard wanted the WM to be a zone-controlling unit, not an harassing unit (like T need another one).
Jesus, baneling drops without having to wait for drops + ventral sacs + +2 upgrade (you still need an armory, right?). un-fucking-believable.

Any Terrans who complained about mass Zealots and Zealot remaxes should be happy.Considering I never thought it was an effective strategy, and considering so many Terrans were so frustrated, I'm happy for them too.

Widow Mine
Splash damage has increased from 35 to 60.


awesome. Still needs to be 1 supply though :/

Dayvie's current reasoning for not being 1 pop --

Widow mine is a 160 damage unit that instantly 2-4 shots the strongest, latest tier units in the game. Not to mention you can build them two at a time with a 20 sec build time on each. We don't think it'll be a good idea to have these guys be 1 pop especially for the 200/200 supply cases.

So battle hellions will can now be healed... but take more damage from archons.


That first part is way more awesome. It makes them kill zealots even more.

If you like the idea feel free to thank me as I posted it as a feedback/suggestion on the Bnet forum a week ago. If you hate the idea then...I had nothing to do with it. All Activision's fault. ^^


Well done sir. The medivac had no place in the current factorty based builds and it is one of the strongest abilities terran has. It being used with a factory based unit will just make the entire style of play more robust.


People already make lots of Vikings with Mech and with more durable BHs they can sustain more Immortal damage. And you can escape from Immortals picking up Tanks in the end of the engagement (because Immortals just don't die).

It does make the name a bit of a misnomer. Should be called the Widow bomb now. :D

Mech+Drop play just became sooooo much more powerful, Widow Mines should pop worker lines nicely, and now BH's have great synergy with medivacs.

Does this mean a hellion can't be repaired by an scv in battle mode?

I am excited about doing more mech drops, but I'm not happy that they don't want mech to revolve around the siege tank. Can someone please post in the pro forum that it's what the commmunity actually want?

Man, Terran players can think only 2 ways: Drops or Turtle Mech.

On another note, Ghosts are now effective as protection against Vipers, which I think is a cool change.

Nice patch all around

Edit: Acutally the battle hellion thing seems kind of stupid to me. Doesn't make much sense at all
