David Kim's thoughts on balance and Terran:

We’ve listened to recent feedback and wanted to provide our thoughts on HotS balance since the last patch.

1. At the top pro level, Terran looks to be slightly weaker than the other races, and we’d like to start testing possible changes.
2. In terms of recent tournament wins, the three races are performing quite evenly.
3. Protoss and Zerg both seem to be performing well at the top level in terms of tournament wins and overall performance.

We’d like to be prepared with a general Terran buff while continuing to carefully evaluate Terran performance in both TvP and TvZ. We have some ideas for general Terran buffs that we’d love to get feedback on. Additionally, we’d love to hear feedback on other areas that could help Terran while also making the games more exciting to watch and play.

Medivac

Medivac harass has been getting weaker since the beginning of HotS due to players improving at defending against them. If we increase the strength of Medivacs, we’d not only help out Terran on both matchups, but also help provide even more action-packed games to watch. We wonder if buffing the unload speed or increasing the duration of the speed boost slightly would help in a positive way.

Widow Mine

Widow Mines are quite core in both TvP and TvZ. They’re also one of the most exciting units to watch and create lots of diverse moments depending on the players’ interaction with them within each engagement. We’re currently considering a slight increase to the splash radius of Widow Mines, which we believe could be a good direction to explore.

Obviously, nothing is final since we aren’t even proposing specific numbers yet, but we’d like to start discussions going that would allow us to start a balance test map soon.

So my thoughts are that any Medivac buff would have to be a fusion core upgrade, or early medivac pushes and drops would be too strong. Not sure about Widow mines.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I'm not really thrilled at these proposed changes, but I'll take something over nothing.

"Let's buff the two most annoying Terran units, and do nothing to promote other styles of play."

Ok.

Yes to both. You'd have to be a hypocritical fuck not to vote yes to both.

Medivacs are one of the three units Terran has that actually are good and usable.
Mines are still really hit or miss because you can't effectively target them.

Why not, I don't know, meddle with making the other 8 units in the Terran arsenal more useful?

Yay! Terran buffs! Would rather see stim research time reverted so that we could defend/push a little earlier than a random medivac buff (which feels as senseless as the oracle buff a few patches back) but hell, a buff is a buff at this point I guess.
Inno pls...

Yeah I think you've hit it on the nose here. Wouldn't it be nice to see a tank be built again?

Pro buffing medivac, especially unload speed for more exciting drops. Still want them to be able to pick up a single deployed seige tank.

Also need more hellbat buffs. Faster tansform speed please, with a back flip and the transformers noise.

All right, from the thread it appears that both Protoss and Zerg hate the medivac buff, so DK is on the right track.

Buffing mines in such a general way is a horrible idea. They're strong enough against protoss as is. Any buff to them will only further kill off templar playstyles. The medivac buff seems like a very cool idea though.

Honestly I think they should just take a look at tweaking numbers with units that are rarely used. What about tanks? Give some love to tanks. Make them useful. Give terran more options instead of only strengthening the options they already have and thereby removing options that other races have.
