The factory isn't going to give you the answer to everything. the robo units dont have completely different upgrades (armory instead of engi) | ||

Barracks units are almost universally weak to AoE; they need to be massed to be effective. Yes, SC1 Factories gave you everything you needed. And that's why Mech is the dominant build in most vT matches. That is a bad thing; there's shouldn't be a single best strategy. | ||

On June 10 2012 00:56 SarcasmMonster wrote: Shouldn't  complain even more since Robo (the toss equivalent of a factory) has absolutely no anti-air  There is some huge differences. Stalkers are common in all Protoss match ups and share upgrades with Robotics facility units. Terran factory units do not share upgrades with Marines. Thus Terran should have some anti-air coming from the factory. Let me tell you right now what Terran needs in HOTS. First the Hellion stays as is, except it has an upgrade that allows each Hellion to place 1 Flaming Betty Turrets that has 5 range, the same damage as the Hellion (shares the blue flame upgrade too), and a wider arc of fire (giving Terrans map control, a way to defend Tank lines, and a way to defend expansions from Marines/Zealots/Zerglings). Then the Tank stays as is. The Thor is removed or made into a ground specific bruiser. Finally, the Goliath 2.0 is introduced for a cost of 150/50 with 160 HP and 2 armor that does 25 damage per second vs Light and 10 damage per second to everything else on the ground (counters Chargelots with damage and armor) and has a powerful anti-air attack (good vs single air units). You can upgrade the anti-air attack to do splash damage (to counter Mutas specifically). This way the Goliath wouldn't be good vs Roaches/Stalkers/Ultras/Tanks/Marauders/Immortals, but would be great vs light units (except perhaps mass Ling, but you have Hellions and Flaming Betty's for that), thus complementing Tanks well. Basically they are a cheaper lighter version of Thors that deals with Chargelots. These changes would make Terran so much more dynamic and add a lot of viability to Mech play. Furthermore it would force Protoss players into a positional fight with Mech facing off against Stalkers and Robo units, or force Protoss into air units. Then Blizzard just needs to fix the Carrier and we have ourselves a game. | ||

It's barely slower than a stalker (so it's fast), very powerful and yes, pretty cheap for an a-move unit that even autofires mech units for you. Which i dont understand considering that mech armies are slow so it wont be too hard to focus down the mech units. It's much harder to focus fire the banelings out of a bling army and yet Tanks dont get autofire like that. | ||

The warhound does 23 damage with its regular. The missile on the other hand Does 30 damage to a single target at range 7 with a 6 second CD. Does not interrupt the Warhound's regular attack. So basically extra DPS. You also didn't take into account attack rate and range, which the Warhound is also superior. | ||

The upgrade point is an important aspect that nobody seems to remember. Toss's 3 upgrade categories covers everything they need in most situations as Air is seldom used in PvT. It means that Terran still has to rely on Bio or Starport for AA and those require upgrades or tech. For Bio to even be usable, it needs Stim/CS/Attack/Armor upgrades and an extensive production infrastructure. It's a costly investment. Not to mention this doesn't even address Terran still lacks a viable High Tier unit. The other two races gain siege units and upgraded High Tier units - Ultra Charge, Tempest. Terran also lacks a good initiator for fights. Vipers pull, Tempest has long shots that require the opposing team to actually do something or risk losing important units. | ||
