So 0 dmg = instant damage = more micro-able unit. | ||

Yes, worth pointing out with bio is that Marines are (already) like Sc2-Marines. You can kite them and split with them alot easier. In BW they had to stand still for a period while shotting, which IMO made them less awesome. Sc2 Marine is probably one of the most popular units, so we saw no reason to not put it into the game. But ofc it had to come at the expense at slightly less cost efficiency. | ||

I would take the Mothership core instead of that watchtower, like it was originally intended by Blizzard for Hots. Like it was in the Beta? Good suggestion man | ||

on top of that T is already much stronger in starbow because both their mech and bio is viable vs protoss.. plus they have chrono boost tt | ||

I played quite a bit with bio and never found that neccasary. Right now, its actually reverse. You do not want to always stim with Medis since it drains energy (and only buffs movement speed). During battles, you often times want to keep them unstimmed. Though ofcourse you can manually "stim" some Medis to save them from dead. Further, as game progresses and medi researches Matrix, getting it in a seperate control group is also very beneficial anyway. plus they have chrono boost tt Just like protoss. | ||

Just like protoss. but they have more abilities on top of that ;p, also terran units by design are stronger than protoss units (especially in mech tvp) so chrono benefits them more than protoss i never played terran prepatch but i assume you wern't able to stim if you had both marines and medics on 1 control group, right? thats why most players usually split them up | ||

Chrono and overcharge primiarily functions as replacments for extra infastructure. So instead of you having 8 gates in one situation in BW, you can have 6 gates in Starbow and use Chronoboost actively. Since Factory tech is more expensive than Gateways, we took that into account by making overcharge less strong on more expensive infastructure. This means that Gateways/barracks = 100% boost. Factory/Robo/starport/stargate = 50% boost. So production speed are not imbalanced in that regard. However, there are a few assmmetries, most notably the introoduction of the reactor. We have attempted to take that into account in two ways; 1) Overcharge only lasts 15 seconds. CB lasts 20 seconds. 2) Vulture BT increased relative to BW That obviously doesn't mean that it is 100% balanced. Espeically in the early and early midgame, macromechanics can have an effect, however, givien observations on the games that are played on higher levels, we do not see any obvious imbalances (yet). | ||
