Anyways, Blizzard has already expressed concerns about the hellions role in the game, so i find it very reasonable to introduce some kind of new transforming flamethrower unit to replace it with. Probably makes it a bit harder to roast a worker line. That is very interesting, because a lot of people having been doing so since the Beta and were like "WHY do you turn vultures into units with a micro that feels so much worse and that are mostly good for just melting workers at speeds to fast to respond to, while beeing worth so much less otherwise?". To me this "new unit" looks lik a mix of a hellion and a goliath, when I actually just want Vultures back :p | ||

Rework Hellion (not as "harass" oriented anymore but still able to serve as blocker/anti-zealot/ling in a Mecharmy). Buff Reaper (kinda confirmed?). Add in this "Firebatish" thing (and hopefully remove Marauders  ). | ||

I hope Protoss gets something a bit more exciting than a transforming hellion  | ||

Maybe give it a skill similar to Lockdown, to reduce the number of massive units the opponent can use. We really need something like that to counter archons/colossus/ultralisks/broodlords. You mean like ghosts? The only thing they don't "counter" in that list is the colossus. On topic if it is a hellion transformation i'm a bit scared it will look cheesy, the wheels already make it look like a transformer. | ||

Although Ravens are quite gas-heavy and high up in the tech tree, which makes them difficult to use if a player is trying to go directly into mech without doing a bio-into-mech transition. A Barracks-based mech-supporter unit seems to have better mech synergy during the early and mid game. However, I do agree that the Raven spells do need reworking, though it's fine if it stays as a late-game spellcaster due to its cost, tech-tree position, and research investment. | ||

If you play T you want as many options as possible, there is nothing wrong with wanting a new mech unit. Also, get the fuck out with the balance whine. | ||

The hellion is the best hurassing unit we have. Other than drops, but early game drops. Reapers were made as like a hurassing unit, but when they move speed they basically made them useless. | ||

Ghosts are not fast enough when it comes to killing other race's massives, we need something that obliterates them, because Terran units should be superior in all Tiers. | ||

Also, get the fuck out with the balance whine. Exactly this. I know Terran has a lot of units already, but I'd love if every unit could have their place in all matchups. I hated in BW how some units were either completely useless or good for like one use.  (Valks, Firebats, Wraiths) to name a few. Even like the Queen, Devourer, Scout etc. | ||
