The warhound and shredder were very bad ideas, so they should've consulted more regarding unit concepts and design. I hope they make a few good units before release though, as they're running out of time. The problem was that Terran was already so diverse in WoL while the other two were pretty linear (especially Zerg). There were so many openings for Terran that if a Zerg didn't have perfect scouting (lolgoodluck) they would just flat out die. That's why so many nerfs were introduced to Terran specifically. Now Blizzard is doing what they should have done in the first place, by giving the other races more options to help balance it out rather than nerfing existing units. | ||

My point was that Terran was already so diverse before infinite nerfs were put in place. Balancing by making units better or putting better units into play is better than funneling all play down into specific routes due to constant nerfing. | ||

But I do agree, souped up medivacs and also particularly thors are super duper good vs Protoss. Even if I play kinda poorly I never lost when I got to thor/caduceus in my tvp's. | ||
