Why does everyone want to make the races more symmetrical -_-;;
They assume it will make the game better? Personally, I like SC2 the way it is right now and I have high hopes for HotS. More tools are good, and that is what we are getting. There are almost no units being added that a player could just "add" to a death ball. Most of them require multi tasking to be used effectively.

I hope they don't do the same as for WOW where they gave all the abilities to all the races to please all the players. Symmetrical races would severely damage the viewing experience. I'd get easily bored with one kind of matchup...

Firebats actually did pretty well against Zealots, especially at high numbers. I don't know why people forget that upgraded Bio was fantastic against a Reaverless and Templarless P army.

I have to disagree. "Firebats were bad at fighting Zealots" is not right either. I should have written "Firebats were decent at fighting Zealots", but they certainly do not rape Zealots. Getting them to be cost-effective is tricky. In low numbers, Firebats don't stand a chance. You can throw more mins/gas into Medics if you want your bats to "stand up" to Zealots like the Liquipedia article suggests.

Duh even marines won't stand a chance against a 1 on 1 on a zealot well unless if you have sim city of a barracks and supply parallel to each other . I tried Bio vs protoss and having 3 firebats with mnm vs 6 zealots the firebats was able to take out the zealot shields so fast that my supporting marines were killing the zealots much more faster compared to the standard MnM vs Zealot . So in conclusion firebats are not tricky at all they are really quite cost effective against high zealot count protoss and if he goes mass dragoons just simply make more tanks.
Also talking about firebat being cost in efficient a price of a fire bat in broodwar only cost 50 minerals and 25 gas and 1 supply while a Hellion takes 100 minerals with 2 supply . Firebat here actually wins the cost efficient battle here.

If you throw marines and medics in there zealots won't stand a chance...
Man sc2's tema game approach is half right half retarded. Why the hell are they excited that terran is winning less...
They see the importance of territorial control but they have wierd ways of implementing it... The carrier could have easily been fixed if they introduced BW micro again...

This is the last post I'll make of this conversation since we are arguing over a nonexistant hypothetical situation anyways. Battle Hellion's have 270% the health of a Firebat so you can't compare cost efficiency like that.
Edit: @TrainSamauri the conversation is about which is better for Terran in SC2 Firebats or Battle hellions. You can have Marine backup for Battle hellions too.

Dude its not like its up for debate. The only reason rax units aren't used is because of HT and reavers.

I hate how every time an interviewer mentions the Carrier, they can never give Dustin a reason for it to stay... simple: It's never really been buffed or nerfed, Blizzard just needs to try stuff with it, that is more than a valid reason to keep it in and look at it, atleast until HotS.
Other than that, great inverviews. thanks.

CARRIER HAS ARRIVED. Even worse, if you gave carrier 22 range it could serve the same role as the tempest and do that role in a cooler way....

The thing is it's funny a unit have to "transform" in to something to be actually effective so they could stand up against your usual standard zealot . Firebats it self did not need any transformation to be actually useful this actually talks a lot about the unit design and game planning that the sc2 team is actually thinking about right now . Also how does un transform hellion which have actually weak armour have 270% extra armour in battle hellion mode ? . Do they magically have extra armours out of no where just because they transform ?

..what?
i think its because for a long time there was a stretch where terrans won everything.

The biggest difference I see between SC1 and SC2 is that in SC1 almost every unit is OP in some way and we have balance. In SC2 they took a much more controled approach to each unit which I feel has hurt the game by making it less interesting in general. A lot of the changes they are making in HotS look like a move in the direction of SC1 when it comes to this concept, which is awesome.

It's for balance reasons I guess. Like how they had to nerf 100hp from Creep Colony->Sunken Colony and +1 armour to balance things out. Or how WC3 Footman can transform to a defensive stance to decrease incoming dmg.

Well you don't have to worry about it being better than sc1 because if hots don't work you always can hope for LoTv to bring some miracle.

I should have written "Firebats were decent at fighting Zealots", but they certainly do not rape Zealots. Getting them to be cost-effective is tricky. In low numbers, Firebats don't stand a chance. You can throw more mins/gas into Medics if you want your bats to "stand up" to Zealots like the Liquipedia article suggests. Duh even marines won't stand a chance against a 1 on 1 on a zealot well unless if you have sim city of a barracks and supply parallel to each other . I tried Bio vs protoss and having 3 firebats with mnm vs 6 zealots the firebats was able to take out the zealot shields so fast that my supporting marines were killing the zealots much more faster compared to the standard MnM vs Zealot . So in conclusion firebats are not tricky at all they are really quite cost effective against high zealot count protoss and if he goes mass dragoons just simply make more tanks. Also talking about firebat being cost in efficient a price of a fire bat in broodwar only cost 50 minerals and 25 gas and 1 supply while a Hellion takes 100 minerals with 2 supply . Firebat here actually wins the cost efficient battle here. This is the last post I'll make of this conversation since we are arguing over a nonexistant hypothetical situation anyways. Battle Hellion's have 270% the health of a Firebat so you can't compare cost efficiency like that. The thing is it's funny a unit have to "transform" in to something to be actually effective so they could stand up against your usual standard zealot . Firebats it self did not need any transformation to be actually useful this actually talks a lot about the unit design and game planning that the sc2 team is actually thinking about right now . Also how does un transform hellion which have actually weak armour have 270% (should read 50%) extra armour in battle hellion mode ? . Do they magically have extra armours out of no where just because they transform ? It's for balance reasons I guess. Like how they had to nerf 100hp from Creep Colony->Sunken Colony and +1 armour to balance things out. Or how WC3 Footman can transform to a defensive stance to decrease incoming dmg. Last post for realz.
Ey I think your confused. In sc2 we see BIO TvP because the storms and collo ain't BW reavers and storm and mech sucks in comparison. In BW T uses mech because rax units can't handle late game protoss, if P had no HT and reavers they would have a 100% lost rate precisely because of rax units, I don't know why your trying to make it seem like this is a debate.
And firebat would probably get screwed by collo in sc2 anyways. Like every other unit... so I'm gonna go with battle hellion just because?
