EPTWarhound is always ugly :D. But seriously, I am not impressed by any of the changes being made to Terran. Feels like a step backwards from its current unique style. Probably going to switch to zerg or at least play both races.

I wonder how much supply the mines take up though, I just have a feeling people will flood entire areas with them and it will get ridiculous. Yeah there's a pretty cool way to circumvent the very costly widow mines. I think Blizzard is underestimating the strength they are giving to Zerg by giving them all these options and flexibility. Zergs were strong before even with very limited units. Now you add in a bunch of new and strong units, I think Zerg is going to be so sick. | ||

You are getting the battle hellion. The entire idea behind its design is to give you a response to zealots. Also, the whole point of beta is to get the game balanced before release. At the start of WoL beta roaches had two armor and cost one food. I expect there to be similar massive issues in the HotS beta, and the whole point is to get those things fixed. | ||

I don't know what to think about the War Hound, other than I don't like its graphic design. Doesn't look very Terran-y. | ||

The warhound certainly does look pieced together from other franchises, yes. | ||

Seemed interesting to me that the unit designed to counter the other seemed to trade pretty evenly with the zealot. Nah in the warhound video a few of them destroyed a whole colosus stalker ball, with like 3-4 colossus  | ||

I'm sad to say this as someone who worked so hard to learn and master Terran, but I'm really disappointed by what I've seen. I decided to play Terran after playing Protoss in BW because I was always impressed with how calculated and precise Terrans had to be with positioning and strategy. Now we have units like the viper and the oracle, which would appear to neuter good positioning and strategy. | ||

They already do a ton of damage to stalkers and out DPS them. Zealots can beat up the warhound, but battle hellions will likely lead the charge. Still, I will take zealot, stalker immortal vs hellion, warhound, s-tank, any day. It is far better than the MMMVG. | ||

I don't think we will see as many as where in the battle report. And a few vikings should be able to zone them out. | ||

The only official static defense that Terran has are missle turrets, which kind of suck for controlling ground space. What do Zerg and Toss have that are better? Cannons and Spines, of course. This isn't a cry of imbalance - just a statement of fact. Terran doesn't have a real ground controlling static defense, which is why Blizzard wanted to give them something else - and hence we have the widow mines. What the hell is it with you guys and making up new definitions for words? Static doesn't mean "doesn't cost supply". Static means "doesn't move". Look it up in a dictionary. Cannons and spines are not better. Cannons are easy to unpower, have too short range, and cannot be healed. Spines need creep and are therefore much harder to get where you want them (you do remember I was talking about static map control, right?), plus they also have no antiair. It may be healed, but not as efficiently as terran repair. Tanks+bunkers are better than them both. | ||

And that is what is really funny about all this. In WOL and now even more in HOTS, the high tech units in the game seem to just hard counter other high tech units, so much so they you're constantly forced back on to Tier 1 units. I guess I need to work heavily on Blink Stalker micro. | ||

We learned that time and time again in WoL as Mutas magic boxed our thors and desttoyed our expensive mech armies because of this. Thors are so cool, glad they kept them in. Give the warhound a non splash anti air attack, then thors will still be useful and we don't have to depend on shitty thors as our only mech anti air. | ||
