This hasn't much to do with the patch itself, but I remember back when in WoL beta a new patch used to draw dozens of pages worth of posts in a few minutes. Are we becoming less?

For anyone complaining about how its unrealistic for a Medivac to heal a Battle Hellion.

Just remember we're talking about a dropship flying high about the ground firing a green laser at a man in armour on the ground, and restoring him consistently to full health no matter how much damage he takes.

It is a tad weird, but if it works out well for gameplay its all good.

Man, stop complain about 2 supply if it can be manually targeted and it can kill half of enemy army. Especially in SC2 engine with clumping units. It's very strong now.

Drivers are biological, same as SCV. They are biological, because with human driver inside.

How about.....

a NEW research for the medivac that enables a second ability it to heal Mec? (Something inefficient like 1 energy/1.5 hp) instead of biological Hellions.

Good idea? Bad idea?


very bad idea.


Okay, new idea. How about biological Battle Hellions so that they can be healed by Medivacs?


It's called Defense Matrix.

Nono, you can only heal mechanical things if they're humanoid shaped!
Like SCVs, Marauders, and now hellions...
Thors are jus too big to be healed I guess. But maybe they will correct that in a future patch.

So when they are biological do they get different upgrades depending on their current transformation? Because then it wouldnt make sense to play full mech with battle hellions since u dont do bio upgrades when u play mech.

I prefer bio or bio-tank anyhow, so it would be like a complementary unit to my bioball. I've heard u might produce battle hellions or normal hellions at the factory. The logical choice would be to add the firebat and produce it from the barracks. Im not sure if it makes sense to add a lot of medivacs to a mech composition.

Yeah, let's just call them Firebats now. Battle Hellion takes longer to type, no point.

WoL wasn't an expansion, it was the sequel to the most popular RTS of all time. Interest was understandably higher.

I don't see why removing the hellion entirely and adding the firebat in would be imbalanced...

Right. So battlecruisers, banshees, and command centers are also biological. Awesome

Battle Hellion can be shortened to:

Bellion
Battlion
Battleon
Helionbat
Heliobat

CCs a can be driven by A.I. system like Adjutant
SCVs are biological, but they're robots.

Makes mech players able to drop without having completely dead supply in the army.

By that logic tanks are bio too? And banshees. And every other terran unit.

I cannot comprehend why people are complaining that battle hellions are similar to firebats. So they're firebats that turn into cars. Where's the complaint? Why's it "lol hellions are firebats"? What's funny?

People bitch and moan about everything in SC2 that isn't like BW, and when something becomes more like BW they bitch and moan about it.

hopefully mech players will be happy wit these changes. all mech needs now is a slight tank buff and thor energy removed.

Tanks already got buffed in hots :< more +armored damage in siege mode.

Do you have any source for that or are you just making it up? I haven't been able to find any information and have never heard it mentioned before...
