I just think some of the things he's saying are just because he doesn't play mech all that often so doesn't see the importance of like the hellbat in TvP. I still respect his opinions though, he's a great guy and a fellokw brit. :D My thoughts exactly... Hellbats aren't really needed, because he plays bio, but what about Mech? Should I use Widow Mines, or Drops? Than again, the same question, what about Mech? He is constantly explaining how new units aren't that good with Bio, while they aren't made for Bio in the first place. | ||

I do think the hellbat should stay since it's good for the casual player while not interfering with the professional scene. The reaper needs to be changed again since it forces how you open TvT which is really boring. Both Terran and Zerg might need a new lategame anti-air unit... Ravens need to get their AoE back, their single target spell sucks. | ||

The Warhound was a dumb idea, they realized the community thought it was bad - what do they do? "remove it" Why not add another unit instead ? Why not try to fix it ? I am hardcore Terran fan and looking at HOTS is depressing right now.. It's like watching Z and P having all these new units and abilities, and T is stuck with the same shit. I played maybe around 20 games in the beta and never touched it since, still think WoL is funnier despite the terrible status of the game.. I am really worried for the future of Esports as I lost all faith in Blizzard well Terran was the best designed race in WoL, so it feels natural that they may need alot less changes. To fix inherent design issues. | ||

Yup that pretty much sums it up, plus the fact that 3/3 marines + Medivac healing buff will turn those 50 mineral units called marines into slaughter houses. Blizzard have sort of locked themselves into a design problems, as to make Mech viable compared to bio it would be completely overpowered. Protoss definitely needs changes to make it a better race to play ( still wish warp gate was removed), and hopefully the Zerg infester will get a good Nerf, if the new units round out the race as a whole | ||

It is true but I still feel like shit being given almost nothing and having to adapt to the new cool stuff that P and Z got. I'm gonna lose my mind on ladder when there will be 14 different Protoss allins coming my way. | ||

Blizzard has shown before that those situations are the ones that get adressed the most. | ||

I wish the other races would be more "core army" based rather than spellcaster based. But I understand that with the clumping up, the unlimited amount of selections (I think its 250 thats max amount of units per control-group) AND the healing from medivacs, bio balls (backed up by Siege tanks and thors in TvZ) would be way too strong without units such as colossus / infestors / sentries. again, I just wish that there was a way to redesign sc2 to bring back the importance of Gateway units and direct engagement units for zerg. | ||

I don't understand this at all, why do people keep saying that Terran are the best designed race? They might have been at the start of Wol or during Beta, but right now its definetely not true. I'm forced to play bio in tvp and have no natural way to transition out of this. Same goes for TvZ where you cant transition out of Bio or Mech in a natural way ( kind of changed a bit in hots with mech upgrades now) Basically you see no change in playstyles anymore, cos nothing else is viable Reaper/Thor/BC/Ghost all scrapped to be almost completely unviable. On topic now :D Thanks for these kind of interviews, find them really interesting | ||

Can you picture that discussion? DK: Ok, so we are going to try and make mech play viable in HotS. That means no bio units. Game Designer A: So you want us to make the factory build something that is as good at the marine? The marine? The 50 minerals killing machine? The core of nearly every balance problem we have in WoL? DK: Yes, the community has shown us that bio units should not be in mech-style play. Also, we want an upgrade for medivac healing and it make it more energy efficient. Game Designer B: Ok, so I am going to need the services department to provide me with bottles of Jack Daniels a week. Just expense it directly to my paycheck, I'll use it as a tax write off. | ||
