They ere practically impossible to defend against. You could just win simply by dropping Hellbats. And guess what. Get the blue flame and bam you have your bonus back. So enjoy your free wins for now. EDIT: As for the Banshee. I we don't need faster/cheaper cloak. What we need are faster banshees. Protoss and Zerg are pretty immune to banshee openers. The only thing Banshees are gonna do is make TvT really stupid. not to mention weaken Mech TvT because your so much better off getting a crap ton of marines. Protoss: Stargate/Robo shut it down + MS Core Zerg: Spores that require Spawning pool. Or you know you could get a thor or use the vikings you already have??? Its not that big a deal and won't make them more common in any stage past the midgame. They still cost alot to make and are easily countered. I am not sure about the buff though, I open banshees in most of my tvts so at least in that match up they are still a decent option. | ||

Would be interesting if Oracles could attack air. In fact if they could, they would be a pretty decent counter to banshees considering the bonus damage it does to light (and banshee is a light unit) But you have phoenixes... why not combine oracle/phoenix? | ||

Meanwhile speedvac + hellbat harass is still possible, and will still do a shitton of damage. You still have the pre-ignitor upgrade. Seems more balanced imo that both hellbat and hellion should require this upgrade. | ||

That being said, I doubt the change will go through. Toss and Zergs crying like crazy even though no one even uses banshees anymore in those matchups whatsoever. | ||

Terrans are allergic to tech labs in the midgame on anything that isn't a rax  He's right that the matchup will change a lot because a) it takes longer to do the (generally) 2fact hellbat switch, b) there will be less hellbats since one fact will have a tech lab rather than a reactor c) it could open up a pre blueflame timing for the protoss in which zealot/templar can still wreck shit, especially if they skip ghosts like many hellbat players like to do. I don't think that will create balance problems though. | ||

Yeah, I think some guys that incorporated hellbats early will have to change their playstyles - which are in most cases guys that did hellbat drops everygame and will have to adapt anyways. Everyone else who went for the standard more bioheavy play (or bio/mine in TvZ) can just go on playing the same way. And then come up with a new transition with double factories (like in TvZ with mines) or maybe find a different opening with blue flame. | ||

To defend against hellbat drops is. 1) Active scouting 2) two Vikings to intercept and 3shot the medivacs 3) be massively ahead, due to the tech rush to hellbat. | ||

. This is just a nerf to hellbat in army, not hellbat drops imo.
