Have they made any statement on realizing how ridiculous hellbat drops are and when they're nerfing them?

Speaking in terms of TvT. I've been going 1 rax expand and not really having anything to deal with it. As soon as the alert goes off you go from 16 scvs to 7 if you don't see the dot of the speed boosting medivac charging at your mineral line. If you happen to evacuate they can scoop them up and drop them right into your evacuating SCV's.

I've tried things between turrets and widow mines and neither work to any advantage because the hellbats get in there regardless.

(Edit: The build I'm playing against is 1 base, and then after their harass is done they macro like crazy)

so your complaining because you use a greedy build without building attacking units and then your opponent does not play greedy and instead goes for a super offensive build and kills you with it....

I'm complaining because with widow mine/turret placement and a handful of marines/marauders, they can still get in your mineral line, and when they do, they kill over half your workers in a literal second. I'm not sure why you feel the need to act like a passive-aggressive prick when I gave you the run-down and how there's plenty of pros talking about how out of hand it is. It's gotten to the point where it's used against me in 3/4ths of my TvT's because it's guaranteed to kill 10 scvs.

I was wondering if there's any blue post regarding hellbat drops if anyone wants to give me a 'real' answer to my initial question.

I got a pretty stupid question: when you look at your performance at the end of a game, under "APM", is it your APM pick or your APM average?

So as someone who hasn't been following HotS beta at all (and the dawn of HotS replacing WoL is soon aproaching) I was wondering if there is a resource online or a thread that I couldn't find, that succinctly describes the differences (patch notes style) so that it will be easier for me as a spectator to follow the change.

I understand that the beta balance and changes are still in flux but any help would be awesome.

What is the best way to react as zerg when you scout a protoss going double stargate, with phoenix/oracle harass and a voidray 3rd behind that. I would like to punish that, by being aggressive.
