The drops will still happen, but hellbat instead of mines in your army is dead as hell. I can't believe this  . This is just a nerf to hellbat in army, not hellbat drops imo.Cloack: this makes tvt a bigger coinflip. Is that good? How hellbats in army get nerfed? You get blue flame and they are exacly the same :o | ||

You buff something because it is too weak. There is no need to buff cloak (which is fine) in order to compensate for fixing overpowered hellbats. Blizzard seems to acknowledge that Protoss may be the weakest race, and the best the company can do is a minor warp prism speed buff? IMO, the only way to fix Protoss is to (1) give a minor buff to gateway units, (2) give a minor nerf to warpgate cooldown time, and (3) nerf forcefields by making them destructible objects with hitpoints. I'm 100% sure blizzard knows what most honnest people know: terrans are doing okay, but not great. By nerfing them, the chances of having a WOL terran are high. So Blizzard wants to avoid this with buffs. Or do we want WOL terran back? | ||

Meanwhile speedvac + hellbat harass is still possible, and will still do a shitton of damage. I am a Terran that doesn't play marine mine. The harass is possible, but by the time they've got the upgrade you should be safe as you have a whole upgrade's worth of time. Edit: and with blue flame hellbats will deal the same damage. This nerf only effects early drops. | ||

I like the changes, Warp prism good, Hellbat is pretty good and Banshee could turn out good, depends if banshees become the go to unit. Yeah, I like them too. The buff to the WP is good. Banshees needed some love in the modern era of SC2, with more detection all around. The nerf hellbat will likely delay the truly amazing damage until the upgrade is done. | ||

Liked the decrease in build time as well, more viable. As for wrap prism, well, I don't think it's not a bad idea but it sounds too fast XD 150/150 would be perfect IMO. I voted "Yes" because I feel like Banshees are all but extinct, but I definitely agree 100/100 is way too cheap. | ||

Whyyyyyyyy?! (Full disclosure: I've already switched to Terran so this my concern for TvT). It's easy to think why in all honesty Cloaked Banshee openings are too much of an investment in the early-game should a Banshee die without evenly paying for itself you're pretty much behind for the rest of the game. At the same time however I don't think reducing the research time was needed! | ||

So frustrating to play TvT vs bad players who just mass hellbats and 1a2a3a move whistle doing no economic damage to you and being a base behind but your 200/200 army is just weaker and as such you lose everytime unless they make critical mistakes. | ||

Though 1 gas banshee into expo sounds sick good now. I think it's a smart change, it makes it so hellbats can't be dropped 2 at a time and kill a whole bunch of workers, you need to go in at least twice. | ||
