The small attack speed increase was mostly for show too. But it's true that the widow mine seemed a superior alternative better suited to SC2's quick pace and the demands of bio armies. The game is actually full of units that have been overshadowed by their younger, more attractive cousins. It's not at all obvious what should be done with them (send them to a farm upstate?). It was fairly serious, those two together were great buffs. It's just that the spotlight was stolen by the warhound (which was poorly designed from the start, highly mobile t2 unit that cost effectively countered every single unit and composition), the widow mine and the hellbat. All three of these units were tuned to be too strong and then removed / toned down over the years. Tank has been on the weaker side for a while. Come LOTV they saw that the tank and its styles were performing badly and chose to give it a lot of mobility instead of giving it the ability to fight better which was a mistake IMO and one that they're going back on now with these changes | ||

It's quite likely that two tanks shooting at the same target can kill it before any regen occurs but i'm not sure if this happens or not | ||

It's quite likely that two tanks shooting at the same target can kill it before any regen occurs but i'm not sure if this happens or not Yes it will be quite likely (typically the 1st Hydra that walks in), but it nevertheless will always be the extreme exception, not the rule. Edit: Zerg units regen instantly upon taking damage so regardless of how its broken down, you need to do 81 damage to kill a Hydra. Not to mention, you are complaining about the interaction between Hydras vs Tanks. Do you also complain about Immortals when you build Roaches or Banelings when you build Zerglings? There are just some units that perform poorly versus another. The real problem I see is that you seem to think the answer to Tanks are...... mass Hydras. Maybe build some Roaches to absorb the initial volleys, some Zerglings. You may just discover that spamming one unit is not how an RTS should work. | ||

Unlike in brood war where any tank in range would fire, effectively over killing that unit. So if you shuttled in a few zelots into range, just before sending your army you could kind of mitigate the dmg received of the first volley or so, while the rest of your army gap closed. We'll see how it goes, though i think that something to consider with how powerful the new tanks will be. | ||

How he has not been replaced yet is one of the great mysteries of the universe. Why so salty? I think, Dayvie and his team have some great ideas of their own, combined with some of the better player feedback. | ||

This is not about balance. It is about a new direction of game design. Balance takes place after that has happened, not now. | ||
