Innovation did 4:0 sOs after all. And if you suck you lose and cry your heart out on TL. Then don't cry about helbats? I pointed this out because this seemed to be very familiar to the case and according to Blizzard proxy oracles are fine. | ||

If by mech we mean siege tanks and not armoured infantry. Mech is relatively immobile and requires leap-frogging forward. It follows that mech needs to use harass units strike where the main army cannot rush to. | ||

Removing healing completly would go away from the original purpouse of the helbat. | ||

There is a slight difference. First of all, the Terrans have not learned how to deal with the hellbat drops.... yet. It may either take a bit longer time or be impossible. I would wait more - as we've seen with mines, oracles and void rays - waiting works. Unfortunately there is a lot of people who do not believe in building skills slowly and letting the metagame evolve Is 3 months that long? There is a lot of TvT fans who want their WoL TvT back as it was better. And there is a lot of P/Z players who want the T nerfed to grab more easy wins. And so it rolls. | ||

Removing healing completly would go away from the original purpouse of the helbat. Best comment in this thread. That would be the best solution. | ||

TvP when the terran goes mech, is so much stronger, because the hellbat is such an efficient harassment unit. The early game attacks are hard, but late game is just as difficult. It really isn't. Against mech if you get like 2 cannons per base you're pretty much super defended against hellbat drops. It's much better to do hellion runbys at that point. | ||

It follows that mech needs to use harass units strike where the main army cannot rush to. I see. Thanks, I did mean siege tank based Mech (i.e. traditional/BW mech). I did not watch much BW (although I did play it, mainly on LANs with mates, in the first couple or so of years after SC1/BW was released). I do get the appeal (the slow and intellectual strangle) of positional based Mech play - even if, at times, I think some Terran players exhibit an irrational demand that they be able to have their Mech and play it too. Even if SC2, as a different game, does not necessarily enable that style of play; and thereby that strict analytic comparisons to BW as arguments for Mech are also incorrect. In this sense, I take it, that Vultures would have fulfilled that purpose, albeit in a different way, in BW which Hellbats may do in SC2? I don't necessarily see an issue with that, except that Hellbats seem stronger than Vultures and that Terran does not seem to lack for powerful harass options at all, especially against Protoss. And the fact that the unit hard counters the Zealot in the same way the Marauder hard counters the Stalker. (Of course, this may just be my biased Protoss heart talking.) | ||

That would be the best solution. i don't play terran, but i think this option would pose a problem in medivac production as well, because you can't reactor them out with a tech lab on your starport. which means it would delay hellbatdrops even more... and as soon as armory and starport are scouted, it would delay so much, that those drops loose too much on impact... at least i think it could be that way... | ||
