how much energy did Purify take prior to the patch?
If its energy cost got increased, it was a very odd change :/

I don't see why they can't just add the firebat... In the campaign, the Firebat had like 5 armour and a tonne of HP. It was basically a tank for the front lines and it looked way cooler. As for an addition to mech, wtf happened with Goliaths?

I don't get it man. They already have the units from the campaign - just use them.

Battle Hellion/Widow Mine/Thor/Viking TvZ is absolutely unstoppable. TvT opening with the reactor rax naked factory naked starport, using widow mine, marine, medivac is also unstoppable.

There's a difference between a single factory unit that can essentially serve two separate roles and two units from two different production lines that serve two different purposes. Adding the firebat would conflict with the marauder's role as the heavy bio unit and encourage bio play, which is already popular. The firebat also looks exactly like the marauder, so I'm not sure what you mean by "looks way cooler". It is literally a marauder recolor with a minor reskin to the arms.

Adding in single player units just because they already exist is a bad idea. They're not balanced, there's no polish on them, they're just plain incomplete. They basically took what didn't make the cut and said "Do we really have to throw these out? Can't we just put them somewhere in the singleplayer campaign as extra content?"

Wish they would just give the widdow mine as upgrade to reapers. Would enable sick Bio -> Mech Transitions

Although the BH change should help mech I feel it will have the opposite affect. One of the more difficult things for bio to deal with is late game chargelots. But with BH being sprinkled in the middle of a bio ball even without upgrades it will help.

Having them be healed by medivacs I think is just going to encourage bio play more.

Even if BHs being biological doesn't make much logical sense. I don't care at all if it is better for the game and I'm happy blizzard thinks the same. Curious to see how that will play out over the next weeks. Especially with that increased drop potential.

I guess in team games you can transfuse hellions now.


Pretty sure you just broke the 2v2 metagame.

I really like the approach that they had in broodwar. Give all 3 races super powerful badass units and see how the game balances around them. All they needed to do is give Protoss some sort of quick harassing gateway unit and I believe the game would have sorted itself out. Maybe the Warhound would have still needed a few tweaks, but removing it is just sad.
Way too worried about balance only a few weeks into the beta. Blizzard is listening too much to the community IMO

Put the nano/bio-armor upgrade for the BH in like the one guy said, make it cheap (50/50), it's experimental so only for the BH right now, and when the medivac heals it the healing beam is a different colour from that used for bio units. It seems the biggest reason for the bio change is for the healing, this makes it seem much more believable imo.

Also change the name to Hellfirebat or crocosaurus, whichever one DB likes best...

meh I liked Hellions because they keep stuff away from my tanks. Now HTs will feedback my Thors and storm the non battle mode hellions, morph into Archons and absorb my siege tank shots and melt Hellions super fast and make path for the Immortals to move in and massacre everything armored.
At the end yeah, got to have Ghosts with your mech still. The change is no biggy though as it adds more skill needed to mech and makes you want to have Medivacs for drops, but it just sounds so wrong.

Would have been fine with the Widow mine being 1 supply, but double splash damage is an even huger buff wow. Now I only need a single mine to completely destroy a workerslide hehe.
Oracle sounds like it will become a more annoying scout now, not as good as a Warp Prism though.

MSCore still has the perfect speed to arrive fully loaded and in time to support a timing push. But now the let the toss has his fun time is reduced.

Just change Viking ground mode to non armored then too, so they can start tanking for mech in WoL too.
