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. Coz it's a stupid nerf. Why would I want to build Medivacs when I'm meching? And now you can't repair battle hellions either.
Did they lose their mechanical status?
And you'd want to build medivacs for the same reason you'd want to build dropships. To drop. But now your drops heal your hellions too. So mech just gained this awesome harass potential.
The only negative I can think of is that they can be sniped by ghosts now... which isn't really a consideration. Are there any other abilities which only affect bio? I guess in team games you can transfuse hellions now.

Well we know all their faces besides the guy in the marauder suite. Given all that I really hope blizz fixes this in a future patch and makes every unit except for the marauder biological, seems fitting to me.

Coz 3/3 regular hellions > 3/3 chargelots > 0/0 Firebats
vP Terran always has to get Ship weapons for Vikings against Colossi, the rest of your gas can only go to either bio or mech upgrades but not both.

Is it a nerf? It seems like a buff to bio-mech.

Have you seen what collosus do to battle hellions right now?
They melt and the chargelots run past anyways and kill the tanks.
Atleast with healing the BHs will survive for longer. Also mech drops. Medivacs no longer useless supply.

I wonder how this battle hellion change is going to affect TvZ. I can't see zerglings standing a chance.
1 base Blue Flame Battle Hellion Drop opener = @_@

Don't get why they changed battle hellion to Biological. If anything they should be helping Mech. To me this just feels like a big cop out to say we can't really find a way to improve Mech (aside from Mine buff), so we're going to help you by making Battle hellions have more synergy with bio compositions.

better 1/1/1ing! woo
because of the ambiguity. Marine Tank Raven, a slow death push, or Marine BH medivac, mobile damage powerhouse

On September 21 2012 05:48 Existor wrote:Then why SCVs are biological? They're robots lol
I guess it's because of how it feels like a human with a suit, helping him move faster and be stronger. Like the marauder. Or even the marine.
Hellion is a car. Or a transformer 
Btw I'm not complaining. I think it's a cool idea for the game that it can be healed and promotes biomech. Lore wise doesnt make sense and just pointing that its funny and weird.

It's a buff to marine hellion medic pushes in TvZ.
The problem is, imo that buff is unneeded in TvZ AND it sets mech a further step back in vP

If you are bringing BW back don't do it half-assedly, might as well go all the way and give mines to hellions or have the goddamn reaver back.

How? It helps! BHs melt to splash damage from Collosus and then the zealots just kill all the tanks since t he BHs couldn't do their jobs.

Haha, are they biological AND mechanical now? I guess then you can repair them AND heal them with medivacs

So you have confirmation they stealth-removed mechanical for battle hellions and didn't mention it in the patch notes, and that battle hellions aren't now like SCVs (bio and mech)? If they have, I still don't think this is a nerf considering the massive harass potential you have.

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. Makes mech players able to drop without having completely dead supply in the army.
Or wasted gas on a healing ability that they will never use. Its not like you can build dropships that don't have the green-sonic healing ray.

Healing helions just makes no fucking sense.
Sorry for not being constructive, it's just.... WTF!!!???
