Some of the replies in this thread to the cloak banshee change are hiliarious.
The unit has barely been used in HotS and both Protoss and Zerg have been given tools to either scout it easier or defend it easier.

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

Cloak Banshees have been irrelevant in TvP and TvZ for quite some time now. I really think a buff is a smart idea by Blizzard. Another change I would like to see is turrets not requiring an engineering bay.
I want to be with those who share secret things or else alone.

That's insane terran doesn't need additional AA in the early game.

I'd rather Blizzard nerfed Hellbats with the Transformation Servos upgrade as opposed to the Infernal Pre-Igniter upgrade in order to make it relevant, like require a Tech Lab in order to build Hellbats and then force Terrans to research Transformation Servos in order to double their Hellbat production from Hellions. Adding +12 bonus damage to Infernal Pre-Igniter just over values that upgrade so much.

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.

if you want to promote banshees without going for such a drastic change, just merge banshee and ghost cloak. It will promote both without breaking the meta.


What a neat idea, and funnily just the way it´s done in the SC boardgame.

they want to promote more early game options for terran, sorry but wtf is this? zerg has NOTHING new, nada zero niente and every game is just the same opening like in wol to minute 10

also winrates are in favor of terran already, this month is gonna be above 55% in tvz again and probably even higher

i know everyone and their mother hates wol broodlord infestor zerg but blizzard should stop their vendetta asap

I'm not, i don't think it's an issue in PvT and ZvT. 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.

Pretty sure he is referring to aligulac, as anybody these days is, when bringing up stats. There TvZ is ~55% for the last three months.

I don't get all the qq about the Banshee. We barely see them anymore, and if we are going to have a chaotic-aggressive game (as Blizz wants) the Banshee is a vastly more entertaining unit then Hellbats. The more micro intensive units the better.

How are banshees being slightly buffed going to really affect zerg? 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).
