Protoss loses instantly to cloak banshee or mine drop even if you have an observer 50% of the way produced when it hits. I laughed quite hard, thank you. | ||

Please do post a viable and not-completely-quirky solution that limits the tank buffs to vs. P and Z only. the only good tank buff for tvz would be to scale back the muta regen buff, which blizzard can't really do a tank tvp buff is as simple as giving them +damage to shields. | ||

Yeah its crazy! can you imagine it that one unit could be instant gg... *cough* DT, oracle *cough* perhaps adapt or play with it for a while... | ||

This is true, Protoss generally just GG out when they opened without a robo and scout that i took an early gas. | ||

The widow mine could, actually have been a cool unit - it just sucks that its so easily accessible for every terran build. Think about it. Every terran builds a factory, 50 for a reactor isnt much, there arent any upgrades involved in this unit. Its in NO way a unit terran has to invest anything more than the recources to produce it. It really sucks that blizzard is unwilling to follow a more upgrade heavy path. Oracle and Widow mine dont even benefit from dmg upgrades. The oracle could have been fixed, coming out as a weaker unit however beeing more powerful than it is now with an upgrade. If a player has to dedicate more recources to a specific unit, then the game becomes much less random for your opponent because tech switching will become much less efficient. Everyone hates the, "Surprise oracle, lol now its chargelot" The Cloak upgrade for the banshee, is a perfect example of something that is good (but sadly Overcharge came and kicked any strategy revolving around heavy harrasment in the balls) Terran can of course attack with an uncloaked banshee, but that is a lot weaker - now its a choice. Knowing blizzard though, they will just remove the cloak upgrade, thinking it will promote banshee play in a way thats interesting for the game. Everything blizzard has done is going away from upgrades, Air ups for terran, Raven, Templar, Tanks, Voidray speed, roach burrow etc. | ||

You haven't actually played terran in HOTS right? 1) The real cost of getting a reactor is the BT. Getting out lots of Widow Mines fast isn't very easily actually. 2) Widow Mines have an upgrade. | ||

For example overcharge damage could be changed from 20 overall to 10 + 30 vs shields. Would be a little weaker in PvP than it is now (killing stalkers in 10 shots instead of 8, killing zealots in 11 shots instead of 8) but would allow more aggression in non-mirrors. Or if Time Warp is the important nerf, leave it as it is on the Mothership, but add a new MSC version that only slows by 25%. | ||

Hence it is ridiculous that it shoots at ground forces instead. Now you can control it to shoot ground forces when you want to, the most common case of shooting mutalisks is the default. In TvT I assume that it will shoot at ground forces (ie. siege tanks) if nothing in the air is attacking it. Slower hellbats - have you seen how they waddle around now? I don't think that I would ever build one again if they got slower, and no, transforming, moving, transforming to make up for lack of speed would not be viable in a battle. Also I don't like people wanting tank buffs against bio who think that the TvT mirror match-up is irrelevant when considering the buffs. The TvT matchup is one of the most interesting, buff tanks and it will be mech v mech only - and we have another matchup where T is pigeon holed into one strategy. TvT is the only T match-up where we get to see nearly every T unit used, including cattlebruisers. I partly agree about Thor, I was refering to quiet common demand from people to keep more micro for units instead of dumbing them down  other question is how Thors will fare against corruptors, phoenixes or overlords added to Z's army ? Will they target them over ground army too ? Again it's so small change that I don't even mind Hellbats speed right now is equal to marauder, zealot or marine to name a few. I would not consider that very slow as it is standard speed for most sc2 units. I think that more tanky and stronger hellbat but slightly slower to compensate would be more proper addition to mech composition. However I do not claim that it is for sure, it's something I'd like to see tested on test map I never said I want buffed tanks against bio in TvT! quiet the contrary Buff to dmg vs light units form 35 to 40 practically won't change amount of hits needed to kill a marine but would help against zealots and zerglings. So as Teoita said, there is still some room for tank buff which would not cause TvT bio unviable. However I only calculated base dmg because I'm not sure how exactly tank splash works, can't find it | ||
