I wouldn't base your race change on what people think, more on what you think.

Yeah I hate to complain before the beta is even out but none of the Terran stuff seems interesting to me. I'll probably switch to Zerg since I hate Protoss with a passion.


I don't blame you at all. I'd really like to see how many Terrans switch or just don't play HotS.

Just wondering. I'm seriously considering a race switch if these new units damage the playstyle the way it looks like they will.

I am basing it on what I think and how it plays when it's released. But it does seem like a lot of Terrans aren't too happy. I'm still hoping they'll change it, or at least bring something more original than the Warhound which is the worst unit ever.

It's amazing how angsty people can get over theorycrafting. I'll wait for the beta before I start expressing joy/dismay.

I doubt you guys saying the Thor is good actually play Terran.

Look up Mech TvP in the search option or better yet on youtube. The ones worth watching (where Terran wins) will have a large majority of Thors. Thors don't care about Feedback with SCV mass repair and Ghost EMP. Hellions support it strongly vs Light units, and Vikings are your anti-air unit with Thor as good support due to their splash.

It's obvious you're not a Mecher, but that's okay. Not many people understand how Mech actually works. That's why we're getting a 1-A Warhound.

I've been "meching" since beta and have never ever gone mass Thor. Always mass Tank hellion with some thors added later on.

The Warhound is a smaller and more mobile Thor (for TvP),probably just as 1a ish and boring.


Until protoss gets less 1A stuff, I will welcome Terran 1A stuff

I know what you mean... but it does not make it fun...

I play mech for 2 resons: i like tanks and i like that it's not a "1 aish" style. It's the positional play that can make a mech army completly shit, or unstopable that makes it great. If by making mech better blizz makes it 1a friendly, then i'd rather they leave it be.

Also note you are going to have a lot of Zerg and Protoss vote "yes", which has nothing to do with Terran players.

I can see mass hellion, but I don't see how mass tank will do anything for you when Protoss goes Robo for Immortal+Colossus.All the gateway units would die but the Robo units will all be left over and wreck everything. Happens every time I went mass tank.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Warp Prism + Blink Stalker harass makes me QQ.

Thats not mech thats a 2 base thor push. It gets destroyed by fast storm because as much they "dont care" about feedback when its combod with storm they do care. Going a mech timing attack and actually using mech as your army comp are 2 very different things. There are TONS of great mech timing attacks that can hit before protoss gets hit tech up but I have yet to see a mech build that transitions well to the late game.


It's not a 2-base Thor push.

Mech build: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=323003

Mech vid(Lastshadow playing): www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezAvY2bB7ks3#t=6m


I dont know who lastshadow was playing but that is not how most people play against mech. Getting caught without a robo, going 2 forge are all things I wouldnt expect when playing mech. The reason its not popular is that it relies on having your opponent prep for playing against bio. The moment you see mech you go thru a checklist, get charge and of course a robo to spot if its tank heavy or thor heavy, add an immortal or 2 just to be safe if its thor heavy add in a templar archives for feedback+charge to deny repair. If it were very thor heavy late game I could imagine adding in some void rays+pheonix but I have never personally seen it come to that.


My arguement is Thor > Tank, not that Mech is good vs Protoss. Everyone who has tried it will have the horror stories to back up their answer.

I like the Terran changes, weirdly enough. I like small and fast but powerful units, like marines and hellions (my favorite T units), and I don't like at all tanks (and sometimes I'm forced to make them :D) and slow, careful play, so I'll welcome mines and those motherfucking badass transformer hellions...
I'll be the one to burrow mines in your face and A-move my hellion-marines compositions while you struggle with your slow units. And then I'll die to Colossus, yes.
The Warhound seems really fast as well (according to the stats), so it's all good for me. :D

Why is this thread name "MLG info updates". This has nothing to do with MLG. Those videos are from blizzards blog and unit info are from kennigits twitter.

Just so everyone knows reapers were actually nerfed as well. They no longer have building damage. So sure they can regenerate (if you spend resources to tech to it), but after Speed, they are more than worthless. They are a liability.

What a pointless thing to complain about. lmao

all of this info came out alongside the start of MLG and blizzard has people at MLG. MLG has been showing HOTS stuff on their streams. the current build is playable at MLG. sorry that pissed you off. no one else cares

Furthermore the P/Z stuff is awesome. The T stuff needs reworked hard IMO. Warhound is boring. Spider mines look ridiculously powerful early game. T's issue with not having a go-to lategame unit still exists. BCs are still crappy, Ravens are still mediocre, and no other unit was added. Someone else mentioned it but it seems like Blizzard's goal is to make terrans want to build more factories after WoL was very bio-focused, not address the actual issues with the race, which the most glaring one is lack of an endgame unit that doesn't suck.

sxpointz!

Has anyone mentioned that frenzy was removed from ultras to compensate for the charge ability?
Also I really like the HotS changes so far and I think that blizz will keep making it better.
I can't wait to try these new units out!

I like the Terran additions. I like the Protoss additions. But the Zerg additions are AMAZING. I get why the other two races might be a bit miffed

I don't think so. Nobody was getting the speed upgrade and using the building attack anyway, except in 4v4 to be annoying as hell. Here if you're able to micro your 3 reapers and keep them alive, you can just pop in and out of a base and kill 2-3 drones, constantly.
