The only thing keeping the warhound from being OP imo is the lack of anti air. It is a SOLID unit otherwise. | ||

When you place a bunker in the natural of Metalopolis cant you hit the mineral line in the main with vision on the high ground and the natural with 7 range? Isnt it also crucial that spinecrawler wont outrange bunker? So bunker which get repaired kill spinecrawler? | ||

I don't even know if Immortals soft-counter them at all, with those missiles. | ||

1. What happens if a unit with a widow mine attached is killed before the timer runs out? 2. Can widow mines unbury after they have been activated? 3. Can widow mines attach to biological buildings (spine crawlers for instance)? 4. Scenario: A terran player buries a widow mine at his Zerg opponent's 4th expansion in order to prevent the eventual drone. Zerg sends a drone to plant a hatchery at the 4th which trips the mine right as it's getting close. The timer starts and the drone turns into a hatchery shortly afterwards. Does the spider mine stay on building to destroy it or what? | ||

This thread is about HotS, complaining about how WoL units interact with other WoL units has no place here. On-topic, I find the Warhound and Battle Hellion so weird for PvT... On the one hand, they should wipe the floor with Chargelot / Stalker. However, I find them to be super susceptible to Force Fields, especially the Battle Hellions, a bit like pure Roach armies in ZvP only more so... Terrans usually deal with Force fields by kiting away from sentries with Stim until Ghosts come out, and if they get caught they can load into a Medivac and hopefully get out, but a Warhound / Hellion army wouldn't have Medivacs and would be pretty gas-heavy, delaying higher tech units. Warhounds and Hellions also look like they'd have a lot more trouble than MMM against cannons, especially if P has a Templar or two to support them; they also look pretty bad for base trade scenarios. Could we see P getting mass cannons in PvT like Zerg does with Spine Crawlers in ZvP? A meching Terran can always get siege tanks vs. cannons, but Tempests sound like a pretty strong late game answer to a T slow push. | ||

They take away speed , the build damage , nerf the damage overall considerably and all they get is an upgrade that is useless later on and -5 seconds buildtime. They're not making Reapers useful again they're making them even worse and more useless I mean 7 range seems to be false so i don't see any reason to ever build a Reaper again ever beyond 5 minutes into the game. The 10 HP i don't see how that all all can compensate they still only have 60 HP thats not alot. edit: I noticed something else Reapers would not 3 shot SCV's anymore if the deal 2*7 damage because 3 shots of that would only deal 42 damage ... Only if 7 range is actually correct Reapers would be a useful unit ... | ||

The Reaper change will make them much more easy to use (range 7, hello? isi kiting for everyone!) Otherwise the terran units are simply boring. Battle hellion and warhound are just plain strong into your face units, nothing tricky, sneaky about them. I would've loved to see an interesting spellcaster for terran instead. Ghosts are cool and useful, but Raven are just bullshit, I truly hate them. Zerg and Protoss have got very interesting spellcasters and the tempest.... I think a 22 range unit with a slow shooting high dmg shot can be really cool, maybe really imbalanced. I'm very interested to see how it's gonna work out. The Mothership Core looks way too powerful. You'll get much sooner than many may think right now. Especially the energy recharge is insanely good. I think this will have to be fixed during the beta. The Viper may also have to be changed. I don't think Zerg need a second unit that manipulates enemy movement directly (fungal growth!). This will turn out to be way too much, I'm very very sure at this point. Overall it looks good. I would love blizzard for thrashing the warhound or the raven and come up with a new spellcaster for terran. Everything else will turn out in the beta, I think. | ||

This is wrong from what i've heard they still have the same range. | ||

Reaper unable to kite queens make them uselness pretty much. And you can't even bunker rush that effectively with reaper now that they don't have the building attack. | ||
