If they have, I still don't think this is a nerf considering the massive harass potential you have. Did you read what he said ? He didn't say it wasn't a buff, he said it sets mech further step back in vP. Many terrans want to play mech if they want to. Bio isn't mech. | ||

It sets mech back imo because now you need to allocate more supply and starport production time towards building units that essentially become useless once your hellions are dead / forced to xform back to scout mode. | ||

don't think this is the only weird thing in history of starcraft though, since i think tanks could be turned into broodlings in SC1, which didnt really make sense but did cus of the pilot being human (i think it might have been a long time ago, maybe they changed it now? idk) battle hellion drops with the heal would be pretty strong though ;O | ||

Bio isn't mech. Huh? The BH uses the same upgrades as the other mech units and requires the same tech. And even if we do concede that this gives bio units more of a presence when you're playing mech (because they'll be healed along with the BHs), that just means you have something to deal with Immortals. Also, with Medivacs on the field either way, we have reason to employ mech drops, which are now way more effective because of the improved Widow mine. | ||

Widow mines are better now, but I doubt it is enough. They are still far too situational even if well placed because they are easily destroyed and don't even trade cost effectively with 1/2 of the units in this game if they do connect. | ||
