Just like protoss and gateways. We have all sorts of units coming from those. Bio, psionic, mech, snowglobe.


Snowglobe?

I feel some kind of scv+medivac+blue flame battle hellion pushes are going to be really strong. 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.

Maybe not. The patch notes don't specify whether it's hybridized or not.


Biological/Mechanical is a dichotomy in SC2. It can't be both under the default game conditions (you could certainly do this in the map editor). You'd have to switch forms to make them repairable.

Actually, SCVs are the exception to this.

IDK what to make of these changes, but I seriously feel like Protoss needs another unit. What we got was terrible compared to what Terran and Zerg got.

Huh, the similarities between the Firebat from the WoL alpha and the current Battle Hellion are striking now that they are now considered Biological.

afaik, the old alpha version of the Firebat was:
-beefy
-wide-ish aoe area
-good vs light armor
-biological, of course
-built from the Factory

now the Battle Hellion is:
-beefy
-wide aoe area
-good vs light armor
-biological
-built from the Factory



shhhhh. don't let anyone know they have the exact same stats.

Except that Battle Hellions are better in almost every way if the info on Liquipedia is correct, though the Firebat was an alpha version so nothing is too clear.

Battle Hellions have more health, do more damage, have a wider aoe, have Blue Flame, and cost no gas. Otherwise, the mineral costs, build times, movement speeds, and "armored" attributes are the same afaik. I guess the only advantage that the old alpha Firebat had was that it started out with 1 armor as opposed to the Battle Hellion's 0 armor.

Can it be healed by medivacs and repaired by SCVs at the same time? That is the question.

Edit: Widow mine splash damage increase :D


Very first post of the thread summed up the Terran changes, now to think how it would effect the matchups

Hellions will still melt Zealots but if Protoss go Council tech not so good. And vs Zerg any sign of a Baneling nest you probably want to engage fights in 'Scout' mode. I don't think the change has any impact at all in TvT.

I think that when in battle mode it can't be SCV healed, only when in regular mode. So they can't be healed by 2 things simultaneously, just 2 different things in 2 different modes. Still pretty stupid change though IMO.

Still a guy in a suit.

Consistency wise it doesn't make sense that medic's heal can't go thru Hellions in regular mode but can when it's slightly rearranged.

Not sure how I feel about this... It doesn't make sense logically because a Hellion is a mechanical unit... But I wonder how it will change up the game.

I'm going to start protesting outside of blizzard's HQ until they give us a working goliath/warhound, changes like this seem poorly thought-out.

"we are the 99%!" anyone!?

Widow mine still 2 supply, so it'll still be pretty bad past the 7 min mark.

I feel like Blizzard should really double all supplies of units, provided supply of structures and overlords and increas max supply to 400.

That way, Widow Mines could cost 3 supply (1.5 supply in the game's current state), instead of being to weak at 4 (2) or too strong at 2 (1).

Also, Zerglings would cost 1 supply instead of 0.5 as they do now.
