Haters gonna hate. As someone who's much happier with HotS than I was with WoL, and who enjoys pretty much every matchup at this point, I'm glad that they're not looking at any radical redesigns, and I think the game is moving in the right direciton.

It's just that they screwed mech so badly it can't be fixed outside of a expansion. I don't think mech needs any big changes to be viable. The tools are there, but the tanks suck so bad in direct engagements that is not even funny. The excessive counters from protoss (Immortal) and zerg (Viper/Swarmhost) don't really help mech all that much either.
EDIT: Actually don't think the tempest are an excessive counter now that I think about it.

Yeah, dropping the S from the RTS is a really good direction for terran match-ups.

After all, with just one patch they managed to destroy WOL, now they could use that power for good instead of evil.

Anyone who thinks there is no strategy involved in playing Terran at the highest level is an idiot.

Let's see what kind of different strategical choices terran has in both TvZ and TvP. Hmm, seems like it is bio and, oh, more bio. I sure hope my opponent doesn't guess that I am going bio.

Unit composition ≠ strategy. For instance, Bomber and Polt don't have the same way at all to play bio in TvP.

There's a lot more to strategy than choice of tech tree and composition. 90% of TvPs in BW were mech, that didn't mean no strategy was involved.
