EPTEdit: On the PvT thing, I would like them to perhaps wait just a bit more to see if the match stabilizes more since the most recent balance patch is just barely a month old and we haven't had a lot of time to see the effects of it. Blink is taking the back seat in most cases (except on Sejong), and the Korean pro Terrans seem to be finding new ways of playing the matchup (IE lots of early timings. Widow mine stuff).

TLDR; more imba towards mech, and less variation in army composition | ||

removing transformation servos is such a bad idea. what else will hold off the fast marauder hellbat timing other than 2 base muta? i dont like the ideas at all. | ||

The second change appears to affect the way tvz in a meaningful way not so much that it makes a terran army stronger but that it transitions more effectively to the mid game. It's not like you get hellbats earlier since they are keeping the armoury requirement. | ||

Swarm Hosts make for awful gameplay, Mines were great but got nerfed to oblivion, Hellbat will always either be useless or broken and their tie to Hellion is useless, Tempest are anecdotal, Oracles are just an opening gimmick, ... Only Viper and to a minor extend the Mothership core end up okay. No wonder Blizzard is hesitant to add new units to LotV. | ||

Hellbat upgrade doesn't do much against TvP when it's not even used that much (as far as I can tell). Nor in TvZ or TvT because no one uses Transformation Servos that much anyways. | ||

The hell bat change needed to happen long time ago I think. I think these are just slight changes that may help get a few more terrans in code S (which is the only reason they are doing this BTW, no one is crying that Terran is under powered (I say this as a Terran player). Blizzard just can't have like, no Terrans in code S for another season.) | ||

Why are so many mechanics removed, in brood war, there were so many more things you had to do if you wanted to be a good player. Things like swarmhosts, storms, mines make sc2 an anti-micro game. Skill-less units should not be allowed in a skillful game. | ||

Think about this. (highest difference is 50/50) which is one reaper lol It's probably waiting only 2~4 seconds in game considering the fact that it's late game (since it's 3/3 upgrades). | ||
