This is a really cool idea

i agree that banshee needs to be revived but the cost reduction is too much. i'd prefer to see 200/150 or 150/150
i anticipate a lot of mine drop into cloak banshee in tvt

2.953? What's wrong with 2.95?

Wow, cloaked banshee may be useful outside of TvT once again! Dunno how dominant it will be in TvT but I really hope it goes live.

The banshee change... will break PvT. Essentially you can go 1 gas cloak banshee and to get detection fast enough. you would need to get Robo around 25 -27 just to stay alive...

The day a Hive is barely not saved because the warp prism was just that bit faster...

That seems a bit ridiculous. While I agree there could be a problem with a buff this extreme, I'm not sure 25-27 supply would have to be a robo. I definitely hope the banshee buff gets scaled back significantly though.

Wow terran are not overperforming in HOTS? OK sure this is why the win rate against zerg is up to almost 60% . . . Can these guys read the stats?
Banshee buff is insane, completely, ridiculously insane. Banshees can already pay for their investment and should do damage even if the player responds ok if microed right.
Hellbat realisation has taken this long? The blizzard recruitment team sure like people who are fast on the uptake, the consenus has been this in the sensible community since about a week into HOTs

Lol just don't talk nonsense. Cloaked banshee is just used in TvT. It's dead everywhere else. Protoss can even open fucking stargate and defend it easily due to detection from Oracles. Also MSC Photon Overcharge denies banshee pretty well combined with detection. Against zerg cloaked banshee is just abysmal right now (and it will probably still be). The main concern should be how would it effect TvT IMO.

The winrate vs zerg is 60%, meanwhile zergs are winning tournaments (http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/hots/individual-leagues) and meanwhile only flash and innovation are dominating. Wake up mate, the hots beta-idra whine is getting old. I know for a fact tough that wol zvt was 60%..
Here, some statistics for you: http://i.imgur.com/9orDwMj.png

Only people who have better micro will do cloak openings, as it takes constant micro as well as macro behind it. You guys think playing Terran is like: "do this and this and win". Why don't you try offracing and see for yourselves.
Well done blizz. It takes constant micro to do any harassment while macroing behind it. That includes hellions, repeats, any drops, Mutas or run bys. A lot of people on this forum play at least diamond level of all three races and no race has a strict guideline to follow that will allow you to win every time (you can easily tell who doesn't). The reason the banshee buff would be too much is it doesn't buff the unit itself but rather how fast you can get it. This will lead to more cheesy openings and a possibly re viable 1-1-1 instead of more banshee usage throughout the game which is what I would like to see.
Lol, what ? Making up facts too much ?

Huh, he's actually right. You can assume that the general level of play in TL is much higher than any other community. There were polls some time ago where like 50% were at least diamond (and 20% master). It probably doesn't hold anymore but it's actually true that there are a lot of diamond+ players around.

Perhaps because Banshees are NEVER used in the current meta. Perhaps because Oracle detection, Mothership Core, and Spawning Pool Spore Crawlers directly impacted the usefulness of Banshee builds while nothing up till now was given to them to make them more effective.
Perhaps they aren't idiots. Just perhaps.

My gut tells me the banshee change won't do much in PvT simply because everyone gets their robo about a full minute faster than in WoL, at least on average (1gate fe into robo rather than 1gate fe into 3gate into robo), which is really nice combined with the defense given by the msc.

Show me Terran domination in Korea. Go ahead I'll wait.
There's fewer Terrans than EVER in SC2's history in Code S next season. Soulkey a Zerg is a GSL champion.
Where is the Terran domination? Show it to me please. Show me domination that doesn't include MVP roflstomping Europe or Innovation slaughtering Code A Zergs in Proleague. Go ahead, I'll wait.

In TvT.
Are we content to just have units like Siege Tanks, Banshees and Battlecruisers be useful in only the mirror match up while Barracks units dominate everything else?
Sounds like a wonderfully designed game.

Yes, Yes and No. Overall good changes.
