What are you talking about. Whether it works or not is contingent on what time hydra speed actually finishes.

But it is hardly a terrible combination of units. You're just being ridiculous.

Medivac
New ability: Emergency Thrusters
Speed boost that increases movement speed and acceleration to 4.25 for 8 seconds. 20 second cooldown.


The 20 second cooldown seems reasonable, because emergencies happen every 20 seconds.
/sarcasm

Put me down for "should have an energy cost".

Hellbat
Splash damage radius increased from 90 to 110.


Radius? Or, arc?


Wow, nice point there. I'm guessing arc. LOL imagine 90 radius, that's like half the map.

Also, wow nice idea about requiring energy! That would make it interesting, deciding whether to save energy to heal or to use the thrusters, ya?

(Maybe it does drain energy, but they forgot to mention it...? it would be boring to just try to keep remembering to use the ability every 20 seconds"

BAD ASS!!! TERRAN METAL FTW!
Only thing I want to confirm is that, does Raven no longer do splash damage?? I thought seeker missile doing splash damage while the opponent have to micro away the targeted unit is the whole point.

Otherwise, all looks super awesome. And finally the medivac upgrade will be useful!!
Is there a youtube video that demonstrate everything???

again, awesome blizzard!

Holy fuck, that's got to be what that means! I read that over like 5 times and just didn't know what the hell they were talking about. The units just didn't seem to fit. I haven't been in math for so long degrees just didn't occur to me lol.


I find it quite amusing that the literal reading of the patch notes indicate that Hellbats can fry your mineral line from the safety and comfort of theirs.
If you use "literally" as a form of hyperbole, you will literally DIE! (Eventually.)

Um we just got Anti Air Buff?!? Also Hellbat got Buff. And Mines got Buff/Nerfed. Now we can do mine pushes with Mech army since it only takes 1sec to burrow with upgrade.


EDIT: AND THE FLIPPING ARMORY BUFF

Thors alone won't kill everything, you need vikings, but at least you won't straight up die because you didn't scout air. Or have to build a starport to deal with a few void rays/tempest.

What are we supposed to use vortex on? It doesn't effect massive units. Am I gonna use it to one shot a single infestor?

So uh, I think some people are misreading some of these notes...

Seeker missle "explodes at the target for 300 single target damage" -> The word explodes indicates AoE splash.

The Medivac is not being changed to 150/150, nor is it's build time changed to 110 -> The caduceus reactor upgrade is.

Just thought I'd clear that up.

Oh I just thought about the Siege Tank. I don't know if these buffs help against the Immortals. Immortals just can A-Move through Mech :o
But with buffed Bio, maybe there will be a Mio-Mech Option.

But it is hardly a terrible combination of units. You're just being ridiculous.

It's only considered bad because people think that hydras are terrible in every situation.

I'm not sure it would work, but it's worth trying out. You should figure out this new style that will revolutionise Zerg play if you're on the beta man!

Hm interesting! Though I think there may be no AOE. They've had some unclear wording before, and in this patch they are also confusing about hellbat splash RADIUS being 110 from 90 (half the map??? haha)

single target damage....

Widow Mines do 160 single target damage and 40 splash damage.

I'm assuming it's similar for HSM now.

With 15hps I think medivac drops will completely destroy Protoss. Imo the speed buff was enough, but we'll see.

The Seeker Missile change might help. At 300 damage, it probably can 1-shot Immortals.

I'm making the assumption that Thors no longer have energy? If so, that's a double buff for Thors.
