pointing it out here, if you assume that gas is worth 4 times as much as minerals, Hellions are more cost effective against virtually everything in the game (obvious exceptions being thors, tanks, ultras, archons, etc). If you can line up the shots right, they'll beat roaches, stalkers, you name it, cost for cost.

I'm refraining from doing an Edit to keep the OP legit. I just checked the stats/upgrades in game and they are still correct from even that long ago, and I'm not going to make an edit just for graphics to attempt to maintain it's humor.

Thanks a lot for the comments guys! Even more funny since the stats/upgrades have remained unchanged and it's just the utility in game, especially in TvT that has evolved. If anyone remembers Beta, this was pretty much written in the phase when Reapers were ruling all in TvT... and of course reapers have since been changed.

How do you not get frustrated when your ~4 hellions die to speedlings because they can't move while shooting and get surrounded? I get very frustrated. I'm all "holy crap you can't even kill the unit you were designed to counter???". They're great for worker harass and useful for scouting/spending extra minerals but they feel extremely weak anywhere else.

You terrans really should learn some more finesse, and not just.. flame your way in. Slammin or not!

I don't mean to be rude, but this is the entitled mentality SC2 has left us with, I feel. With units like Colossi, which kill everything, I'm sure a unit that requires some attention is going to be received with some dismay. However, after knowing how much attention EVERYTHING required in BW, it's amazing to know that we found a unit that requires at least some more attention.

Let the battle between marines and hellions rage on :D

Man, the whole point is to be able to win with micro. If you don't micro, you'll lose. If you micro well (and abuse chokes) you can survive most of the time.
