That said, it's definitely a step in the right direction. | ||

Honestly speaking, I think Hellbat drops are viable against all races right now. Just open with Hellbat drops and you're pretty much guaranteed to kill roughly a dozen workers if your opponent doesn't pull SCVs quick enough, whether they are playing Protoss, Zerg, or Terran. | ||

That said, it's definitely a step in the right direction. While the bio tag was controversial in the beta, it turned out to be one of the things that brought them from crap to usefulness. There is a fine line for that distinction with the unit, so being cautious is the correct move. | ||

I think David Kim seems to be leaning towards the fact that the problem isn't so much just hellbat drops in general, but rather perhaps the early timing of the hellbat drops. Solutions may include - Increased build time - Upgrade requirements (on medivac speed boost or hellbat transform again) to delay the timing on drops. - Maybe an increased cost for hellbats? Not as sure on this one. I'd also prefer that they didn't mess with the damage, but rather how easy it is to access the hellbat drop. I'd prefer them to play with the numbers around the drop itself, as you suggested. | ||

This would make the upgrade really relevant. Lets have the normal HB shitty damage, and with the upgrade the current damages. Make the upgrade cheap, but long to research. Also, maybe reduce the health of the HB a little, but keeping the healing. | ||

TvP when the terran goes mech, is so much stronger, because the hellbat is such an efficient harassment unit. TvP mech is still a joke and unviable, no idea why you mentioned it. The main problem with hellbat drops is what it's done to TvT. Making hellbats mechanical rather than bio (so no healing) would be a decent fix. | ||
