I don't understand so, your supply will go up and down whenever hellions change from hellions to hellbats?

Does your supply go up when you morph lings into banes? They take more room in ovies...

David Kim to the community: I'm going to make hellbats take 4 slots in the medivac, what do you think ?
Community : That won't fix much.
David Kim does it anyways.
It is kinda funny if you ask me.
The problem is not that you can drop them 4 at a time. The problem is that they do too much dmg and can survive too much of a beating in the same time.

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.

I remember when marauders were "too powerful." People laughed that Terrans ONLY had to make them to win. 2 years later and they're just part of the army. Moral of the story, nerf the tactic, not the unit.

Well this was expected and kinda the best thing to do now as the beta is closing in a couple of weeks. I don't think we'll be seeing any beta patches after this. Too bad they didn't fix the carrier micro. Still the real tweaks will be coming in post release patches ofc.

Community was largely supportive of the change. The people that hated the change wanted the unit removed from the game, more or less.

I don't see how this changes much. If I was a smart terran, I would just put 1 hellbat and 2 hellions in the dropship, and then have the huge aoe and dps of the hellbat with the chasing power of the hellion. And if things get sticky I'd just transform the hellions to hellbats and it's the same problem all over again. Or I could move 2 hellions close to or into the enemy base and then transform them into hellbats while the other two hellbats are in the medivac being dropped in the mineral line. Man the the potential for abuse with hellbats is just off the charts lol. I guess what I listed takes a lot of skill, but it's shows how broken the potential of early hellbats are.

Hellbats, the mechanical unit that can be healed by Medivacs and that occupies variable space.

In the next update, Hellbats will receive bonus damage against biologicall flying units in 4 players maps...

Being powerfull and cheap is fine for this kind of unit.

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.


Even better example is banelings. Half a supply, take up two space. Zerglings take up one space.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Bad comparison. Hydras and mutas could kill mines easy peasy. Vultures also didn't have AOE damage either.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Could you imagine that the community isn't all-knowing and actually biased as shit?

Remember how marauders were considered the most OP unit in the game? They were never actually nerfed yet they turned out okay. Amazing how that works.

my first thought is that now terrans will make 2 medivacs and drop with 4 hellbats with 2 medivac support which will be even worse to deal with TT

Think of it this way:

1 zergling is 0.5 supply, but you can only fit 8 into an overlord. While typically you only see 8 supply available in an overlord, it's not the sole reason
Refer to my post.

I forgot how powerful hellbats are against units that are faster and can fly. Thanks for reminding me.

REally stupid change!!! After watching everybody not even trying to learn how to defend this,they just change the hellbat in the medivac and feel OK??? Come on,Change infestor took an year and if we talk about Terran its only a week???Why Blizzard,why? So sad...I feel so sorry if even Pros werent trying to defend well,just whining...


First off, it wont change the game that much. It will just prevent some earlier timings that can be extremely cost efficient. Secondly, every Zerg has been trying to figure out how to defend this, because every Terran does it in every ZvT. But without hurting your econ so drastically by throwing down a few spines and spores, there isn't much to be done with an early hellbat drop. Lastly, the infestor nerff came when they could supplement other units in so that the Zerg wouldn't just die. With that said, as a Zerg player I found it really frustrating to have army comps centered around one unit for all match ups.

Better go for 1 hellbat + 2 hellions in the same medivac.
