(concussive, abduct, fungal, forecefield, timewarp). Don't get why they can't give the mothership this, probably because an angry mothership doesn't make sense lorewise rofl. Ultras aren't restrained by forcefields not because they have the frenzied ability, but because they're massive units. Same goes with colossi, archons, thors, etc. | ||

It will certainly be helpful against mutalisks and high templars to really get that knowledge of the brood lord not being abductable going | ||

Against zerg you may be able to save 6-8 hellions max to transform them to hellbats when mines and tanks play a bigger role... I dont get it | ||

Abduct works on tanks, medivacs, vrays, immos, msc. Vipers have blinding cloud, which is stupidly good. Abduct shouldn't pull Thors/BLords/Colossus. They should just make Massive immune to abduct. . . | ||

I dont get it i don't see what tanks have to do with it. you will be able to use the hellbats to drop or put them with your bio push. time will tell whether it makes a difference or not, but having a bunch of hellbats is definitely better than hellions in midgame tvz this will also encourage terrans to be more cautious with their hellions so they can save them later instead of desperately trying to make them useful by going for risky mineral line runs that get the hellions surrounded and completely fuck terran's map control | ||

I dunno what I was thinking. I mean, what I was actually thinking was, "I wish people didn't make swarm hosts in any matchup" But yes, you're right, if this patch makes brood lords show up more in ZvZ then I'm for it But god forbid brood lord vs brood lord (Sniper vs Hyun lol) | ||

I dont get it Big difference between blueflame hellbats and hellbats wihtout blue flame. Seems possible that you may end up researching blue flame quite early in this matchup to go with the first hellion/hellbat/marine/medi push. | ||

And of course, it would be nice to have 6 hellbats in TvZ as a reward for keeping hellions alive. Hellions again require micro and damage over long intervals and are not as good as hellbats in a straight up fight most of the time. I would feel more comfortable with hellions against DTs, as you really can't fight those carelessly in even, small numbers. Some Protosses are really good at escaping with DTs too. | ||

the only 3 abilities that the ultralisk was immune to would be Thor's 250mm strike cannon, neural parasite and fungal growth. Frenzied - Liquipedia SCII Now that bliz says that "Frenzied is changed to also be immune to movement altering abilities", I guess the list now expands to time warp and abduct? (Both abilities were only introduced in HotS) I guess it would not only help vipers, but also help ultralisks now that it can now go through time warp with ease and attack protoss more efficiently? (The fact that immortals rape ultralisks still doesn't help though). Concussive shell and Forcefields are not applied to massive units (forcefields are broken by massive units) which is why frenzied didn't include those initially, but I guess now they are under "movement altering abilities" now. So I guess now broodlords can be viable in ZvZ now that it can't be abducted? Doubt it will affect any other matchup as Protoss and Terran doesn't have any movement altering abilities that affect air units. Also about the mothership, while I find that it being abducted/mind controlled is silly, I think that the whole unit itself is quite useless for now. I find mothership core more useful than it. That unit needs a complete redesign. | ||
