Hi everyone,

This afternoon, we will be making the balance change listed below. This will not require that we bring down the beta service. Thanks again for all the great feedback you've provided while testing Heart of the Swarm. We hope to see you testing these changes and sharing your input soon!

Terran

Hellbat
-The cargo space required to transport a Hellbat has been increased from 2 to 4.

No, it means you can only fit 2 hellbats in a medivac.

cargo space is how much room a unit takes up on a medivac. It has nothing to do with supply.

With cargo space is the transport size of the unit meant. You can now only transport 2 Hellbats in a medivac.

There was already precedent in SC2 for a unit taking up more cargo space than supply--Colossi take up an entire warp prism but just 6 supply.

Think of it like this - a thor and an ultra both fill 8 slots in an overlord/a medivac, but are only 6 supply. Same with a tank - medivac can hold 2 tanks, even though tanks are only 3 supply.

Anyway, I think this is a good change.

This only is not enough... right at this moment, hellbats are waaayyy too powerful for the 100 minerals that they cost...

Well it's a start I guess. At least they reacted fast and I like they don't want to nerf it until it becomes another useless unit.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

So 4 hellions can still fit into the medivac? So there could still technically be 4 hellbats from one medivac, but it will take time to transform. Also it won't be as easy to pick up all the hellbats.

Is this correct?

Yes. So you have a lot more time to react.
