If anything, the change is silly because it affects TvT more than it does PvT or ZvT. | ||

The hellbat nerf yes, the banshee buff no: Banshee Cloaking Field research cost decreased from 200/200 to 100/100 Cloaking Field research time decreased from 110 seconds to 90. We don’t feel the overall strength of Terran is an issue at this point, and Terrans aren’t overperforming by any means, but we’d like to compensate the Hellbat nerf with another buff. While we’d like to see fewer Hellbat drops, we don’t want Terran to suffer because of it. Also, we think it would be cool for Terran players have a variety of harassment options. Whenever we saw awesome banshee usage in the past, those games were exciting to watch and we believe having a reduced cost for Banshee tech will allow Terran players to utilize them more easily. | ||

The hellbat nerf yes, the banshee buff no: Why you can't start with widow mines and turrets? Why you can't open like against oracle rush? | ||

What i was saying was, if they are going to give terrans a buff to compensate the hellbat nerf (and wether that's even needed is a whole other conversation), it's silly in my opinion to do something that changes TvT more than the other two matchups. | ||

You have anti air by proxy of having a queen and also spore crawlers don't require a building anymore (which I still don't agree with). | ||
