You can't simply give every unit all its upgrades for free.

It removes diversity from the game and makes timings more powerful without actually putting effort in.

IMO small changes like this are a step in the right direction and while it is removing an upgrade, its an upgrade whose initial implementation was always very very contentious.

I don´t know if you are familiar with Durable Materials, but all it does is increase the duration of Auto-Turret and PDD from 3 minutes to 4 minutes.

I was also suggesting to redesign Neosteel Frames upgrade, which I have not seen in use in any game during HotS. Having new upgrades would actually add diversity. They could also do something Caduceus Reactor upgrade (another upgarde which I have never seen upgraded in a live game), they did play around with it in beta, but just left as it was in WoL.

Regarding Caduceus Reactor: some people have started it to fake Cloak research.

Do you actually play the game? It's better to just fake with the actual cloak upgrade itself as the cost is lower

HotS even killed this only use; now you can fake Cloak with Cloak. (:

The energy boost ups would be a lot more meaningful if it upped the max energy or regen rate.

Oh thats right sorry

Also yeah a redesign could work but what would it benefit really?

IDK i still think this is the wrong way to look at things is upgrades necessarily.

EDIT: Holy crap it doesn't. I've always been getting it for that purpose, lol...

And more splash. I want siege tanks to be scary again, not something you just attack head on with a pack of lings.

actually i like none of these changes... hellbats/hellion transition doesnt help any in TvP. upgrade cost reduction doesnt help either... they should rather go on by fixing some protoss units...

hahaha, its true tho. protoss is forced to open 1 way now due to the mine/ghost buffs (blink + collo) and that makes us extremely predictable. its a low econ style so all that terran has to do is scv pull at 13-14mins and were dead, watch illusion vs jyp on overgrowth for reference

I'd personally like more changes in the "buff tank, nerf mine" department. Although I do like the hellbat change as well.
