Isn´t it a problem that the Battle Hellion profits from Mech upgrades in the late game? Even if it´s supposed to counter Zealot/Lings it could be a problem for a Bio player. If you go Bio, I guess you focus on E-Bay upgrades first. And if you have 0/0 Battle Hellions vs 2/2 or 3/3 Zealots or Lings it would really bad for Battle Hellions even if they counter these kind of units.

Am I right? Do you agree with me? Or is what I just said wrong?

Most players (in TvZ) end up getting at least +1 factory damage - So this may not be a big issues. However - because the BH is supposed to be a tanking unit - getting + Armor could be a bit of a challenge (also, the fact that with the exception of the Spire, the Armory is the only +/+ upgrade structure that requires gas)

If you go bio you need the tanky unit that is the BH to hold the zealots, and as such the healing from the medivacs is very welcome. Against mass archons they are gonna suck big time tho.

Also this is all a plus. BH was supposed to go with a full mech army to begin with. Change to bio is a buff for sure.

Doesn't it kind of lose that mech feeling if a batte hellion is classified as a biological unit? I'm confused at what they're trying to accomplish now... Still, early stages so let's hope for the best.

Im starting to regret preordering HOTS already. I mean seriously? so what's terrans answer to chargelot/archon WITH a reasonable resource trade? NONE, terran will have to be ahead on resources and outmacro the toss just to break even with such a battle. Looks like terran will have to stick with MMMG against toss in the late game AGAIN, and it looks like i've thrown away 40 bucks on a game I never plan on playing.

They actually went and did it, they made bio come out of the factory. This feels really dumb.

change entombed. make it a more skillful spell to use. at least make it so you have to have vision of the minerals and you have to manually click each mineral field for entombed. its by far too easy to use which is superboring.

Next step, re-introduce the warhound and also classify it as biological. I'm glad blizzard is being honest with themselves

Ok, so battle helion is officialy useless vs protoss now. Nice to see that this 1/2 new unit in terran arsenal is already nerfed.
Keeps me in the idea that if you want to have a chance vs protoss, do what you used to in WOL.

I'll save 60€, good news to me.

Such a narrow-minded point of view. I am glad that you aren't buying the expansion, the least we need is more people like this, that don't understand changes at all, and that are sprouting bulls*** about races at the start of the BETA... Great news to me too.

Make battle hellion healable by medivacs. Battle hellions suddenly become useless. Expansion pack suddenly 60 euro's. At no point does your post make sense, sorry :p

new expansion, "new" unit, same metagame; how is that a good thing? other two years of the same game just with a different "shape", boring

just like mech, you need ghost to emp immos, toss get templars for ghosts, they just changed the units on the field but it will all come down to emp/feedback again

by changing amry comp (ie bio or mech) i would like to see a different metagame, not the same

Does BH benefit from ground mech upgrades like viking-ground mode uses air mech upgrades?

But I like the bio option. A until that can change its unit type (like vikings) is quite fun.

Mothership core is meh, they need to increase the range back to wtf, for the short amount of time it lasts and how it can't be spammed.

Are you ignoring the facts that terran pros streaming now are making mech work in TvP?

Seriously, Morrow alone is showing the world that mech can workm just like it did in Broodwar and you're all ignoring him.
