FYI: You can still make hellbats without the upgrade, you just can't transform in and out of them until you get the upgrade. | ||

It still decimates lings/zealots/marines. It's still good for drops. It's still the same fucking unit. It just takes longer to get. Oh no, you can't win games at 7 minutes by having 8 of them anymore. Good. | ||

Oh, I'm going to try it out right now. I wonder how it's going to afect my play. I guess I will just load my medivac with 2 hellbats at 10 min. mark and fly into flock of Mutas? | ||

Almost two weeks to launch and you seem to do abslutly nothing. Cant wait to see the first GSL after the launch. I bet we wont see any new strategies and there will be no Hellbats and Widowmines. So sad. Polt,Demuslim,ForGG,TheStC...None of this players is playing mech vs P.Still the same shit as in WoL.... | ||

Like you say, it's still strong as hell. Instead of making it weaker but still an option in early-mid, they make it less accessible but they keep it broken. This patch is another "anti-timing" nerf that shuts down diversity, which is simply shit design. Anyway I couldn't care less if the hellbat is nerfed or even disappears, it's such a disgraceful unit that nobody wants to see on the screen. | ||

It's sad the game is so close to release and nothing was done for Mech TvP tho. They ran out of time I gues,s but changes are gonna be a lot harder to make once the game is out of beta | ||

I agree that these hellbat drops when no one had anything to defend against it were redicilous, but if pure mech is supposed to work, tanks need some defense, which hellbats provide. Is everyone that hates the hellbat design just a bio player(or z/p), or what would you actually rather have infront of the tanks? | ||

WoL siege tanks are not strong enough to be a core unit vP. Hellbats and thors remain these unmicro-able, silly a-move units. STC is going mech on his stream, so is Goody. People are doing it, just not in the runs ups to tournaments. | ||

I dislike the hellbat because there are so many special rules around it. Trying to balance 2 units that are in fact 1 is a disaster. I would rather see a new mech unit, tanky and why not ... with anti-air ! So you wouldn't have to rely on 6 supply unit like the thor or on mines that aren't mines anyway because they fire ze missile. Blizzard's approach makes me feel dizzy  not sure I would do any better, but eh it's not my damn job. | ||
