By your definition Sound should have been MILES behind because of the HUGE investment. Oh and I called you arrogant because you said that balance should only be done for the top half of the progamers and "tough luck for the rest of the players, sucks to be you. Have fun playing an unbalanced game." (more or less). Considering he had an overlord to give vision on the blindspot, he should have put two spore to block the most direct route to the mineral line initially. He held off the second push quite well and didn't do so well on the third, Moonglade also gambled on doing enough damage on the counter with ling/bling/muta on sound's 3rd base.. The defensive turrets by Sound is excellently placed, fending off the muta from entering the main base, see 12:29, with just three turret, cuts off 12 mutas from entering the top left corner base. this is what I've been harping about. Good placement of turrets pay for themselves, allowing you to focus on army placement and force expensive trade off for an opponent. Get your static defensive network up! And Moonglade didn't trade very well thereafter. I mean at 16:20 he had banked 1K minerals but couldn't find 450 minerals to put up 3 spore colonies to cover the 2nd bottom base. I mean come on... | ||

Hellbats are gone in TvP. In TvZ I wonder if it's worth to research the upgrade, since 1) I need to cut 150 gas, on a starport, or an armory, 2) I need to stay on a techlab factory for a long time. Do I make tanks out of the fact or 1 hellbat at a time? | ||

But if I want to hit a 13:00 marine + 4 tank + medivac + hellbat timing, then I don't have money for 1) 150 gas for the upgrade, 2) 100 gas for a second factory. OR I need to cut the starport for some time? Really wondering.. I don't like to rely on mines, since there are too many strong timings that exploit them imo. | ||

Reason is that WHY ARE THEY being healed by medivacs?!?!?!? vikings can be transformed, can be transported in medivacs, but not healed, so what is the difference? hellions cant be and hellbats can? this just makes no sense. hellbats healed by medivacs are retrieving their health faster than siege tank in a siege mode shoots. thats so stupid. Seeing mech TvT with medivacs healing mech unit.... Watching OSL now bbyong vs innovation. And the point is this patch want change mech TvT at all. Maybe it was better to turn of ability to be healed for hellbats? This would change other match-ups as well. What u guys think? I totally agree that the problem is not the damage output of the hellbat, but the synergy between the super mobility of new medivac and their healing. This is just too much. But early TvT will be a bit better anyway. Cannot be worst. The good thing to me is that mech players will get blue flame everytime now, and it now makes more sense to make transformation servo or whatever it's called, blue flame hellion run bys will be way more present I guess =) I'm not really happy about the buff they made on the banshee though, this won't change anything in TvZ/TvP, and the fact that banshee cloack is now possible on one gas, scouting will be more based on luck in TvT. Wait and see. | ||

Then you may want to look into banshee/hellion. especially after this patch. | ||

I think it is too soft. I would rather prefer something like less HP, no medivac healing, or even slower movement speed. I dont think the damage nerf is enough. But I guess time will tell... | ||
