Should pretty much solve the problem, IMO. 2 hellbats is enough to kill a couple probes possibly and at least deny mining time. That or you make a bigger commitment with 2 medivacs. Either way, hopefully this helps alleviate TvT being hellbat drop only XD

This won't do what they want it to. Hellbats are still stupid and too cost efficient.

You should have watched DRG's stream right now, he defended the drops perfectly and you still end up way behind because of the investment. Also the mining time lost is really high even if you don't lose a single drone.

Well that's one thing down. Just another 20 to go.

Don't see why you're mad, it even fucked up TvT because of it's immense strength.

It's quite amusing that they, and most of you it seems, think that the problem with hellbats is the fact that they can be dropped 4 at a time. The problem is that the hellbats themselves are too powerful; shit changes like these hurt the multitasking options of the terran and still leave the unit being too powerful, which will lead to more all ins.

Wow I was just thinking this last night after watching the MVP HOTS game. People were quite vocal about how overpowered Hellbat drops seemed to be.. and I thought "well if their purpose was to be a more sturdy element of the mech army, maybe just make them harder to drop..." but I didnt think they would modify the drop capacity as it seemed universal with" population value" but it also made the most sense.

Impresive!

In blizzard time, this isn't "fast"...it's lightspeed

So does that only apply to the hellbat, or the hellion as well?

i like it. i didnt face hellbat drops yet (beta key since 2 days! yeah!) but the ones i saw on streams seemed like - well if it works 2 hellbats do unsignificantly less damage to drones when they land on them. Still a huge blow if you don't react fast enough and even if you react, still mining time lost. Good reaction blizzard - keep it going!

I still remember the stream of EGDemuslim where he saw the hellbat drop miles away, put down bunkers and all kinds of shit to stop the drop, the drop happened and Demuslim stil lost more than the other Terran lol.
