Because then there would be no reason to go mech at all, and bio would be truly unstoppable. | ||

Yeah that's the point. Currently there's only 3 units you can make from the factory, and two of them(Thor and Hellion) are quite limited against Protoss. Now you've also got the Widow Mines and Battle Hellions. Not only does the BH use the same infrastructure as the rest of mech, it gains the same benefits from Armory upgrades, and it can still go mobile for scouting and harassment when needed. | ||

We'll call it the Tempollus or Colpest. This will fix HotS! | ||

The BH/Thor/etc. mech combinations are still completely useless against Archons, since Archons basically absorb everything and just eat through you as the Immortals blow up your army. Even when Warhounds were in the game, T players were still having massive trouble dealing with Charge/Archon because P would have just too much infrastructure and too many resources. | ||

so my friends was playing the beta and the battle hellion was able to go into the bunker....wonder how this is going to affect defense verse all ins That's actually pretty sick. So mega defensive turtle Terran, with massive siege lines, planetaries, hellions in bunkers and turrets and thors vs anti air. That's pretty cool. They have to remove the The Infernal Pre-Ignitor though, else Hellions will be just as impactful to the game as the common Marine. | ||

It's a huge buff for mech and so-so for bio builds due to the long tech path for 3/3 firebats. | ||

It doesn't affect bio because you don't build hellions with bio, you build mass ghosts which handle zealots already. So, basically this bio flag nerfed mech tvp...facepalms. | ||

Don't you think that is forcing the game into a certain dirrection? I think if they added some more interesting units like the widow mine it would be better for Starcraft. The BH or 'Firebat' is just another unit u will mix into your bio ball and occasionally split up from ur army. Making it a 'Bio' unit won't make players go mech. In the contrary. They will use their factory build time to crank out battle helions to add them to their bio composition. I just don't get it... This is just giving things new names while they are still the same. | ||

Hellbatshees introduced in LotV. ; ) Also, people need to stop with the whole "that doesn't make sense" shit and be happy they're trying things to make the game more interesting. Half the units don't make sense and logical reasoning can be easily fantasized, such as bio/nano based hellion shielding as said previously. I think adding a goliath would be perfect as it would give terran a mobile single-target GtA which changes the dynamics of many situations while making mech more viable. A few ghosts will always be needed TvP and people should accept that by now. EMPing archons is important in making both mech and bio armies work. | ||

I agree completely about the biological tag whining, people don't have a clue what they are talking and whining about. And why wouldn't you use Ghosts as mech? As others have said, Mech isn't about "mechanical" units, it is about style of play, going slow push with your army, where positioning matters the most. Ghosts are perfect for that, they are slow, and you have to position them quite well to be able to hit EMPs/not get them killed. Also, I disagree with the Goliath, I think that they can introduce something else, but not Goliath, because Goliath is basically the same thing as Viking, the only difference is that Viking has to switch between the modes. They can add new unit that will be a good anti-air option but it has to be different from Goliath in terms of how it works. | ||
