This is a great strat, and combined with the Raven PDD Tactic on the other thread, we might actually see more of those in action late game TvZ.

They don't mimic, but if you a move the thor, when it stops to fire so do the hellions, essentially meaning they will attack anything that comes in range as they are stopped.... its as good as a-moving them except they dont go running off on their own! | ||

It's fine if a certain technique gets named after a player after a while by others, like Maynarding, but naming them like Griffith does is annoying. Note that in most sciences it is quite rare for a discoverer to name something after themselves.. Other people do that later AFTER the use of the discovery has been established and usually years or decadeds after the discovery itself. Everyone in this world who has ever accomplished anything was at the very least a little narcissistic. I really don't see any problem with it. Why does it honestly matter what it's called as long as it works? He's contributing more then you, and personally I see the world as a meritocracy; so by that logic he can call it whatever he wants as he has more merit then you. It really shouldn't bother you, people just like to complain a lot about stuff that really doesn't affect them for the sake of complaining. If it really bothers you that much just ignore everything Griffith posts. | ||

Everyone on earth can be a little rude, but occasionally there's a Snooki. Since there is at least one new post every day called "XXX's XvX build," people on the forums are fed up with the self-naming. That being said the OP is very nice; this hellion trick will keep the Thors safe against Broodlords until Infestors are out. Seriously though, as others have mentioned Einstein didn't call it "Einstein's Theory of Relativity." Oh god... did I just compare Griffith to Einstein...? | ||

What is the significance of having your Hellions follow your Thors rather than just controlling them separately? Is it just for the convenience that the Hellions will do what your Thors do, and so you only need to control the Thors, and so that they're both synced up better? (So if you want to retreat the Thors, the Hellions automatically retreat). Another benefit I can think of is that if you use 1 control group and attack the Broodlords with the Thors, the Hellions won't run forward and try to hit other ground units, but will instead stick with the Thors and attack the broodlings. But I don't use 1 control group anyways. These are the only benefits I can think of, am I missing something or is that it? | ||

Therefore it is useful to have the hellions on another control group, hold them back and let the thors take the spread funalgs or banelings, and then send the hellions in, following the thors. | ||

I usually trickle in MM from the 2 rax i have since the start of the game, so it is easy to start pumping ghosts from those and go more hellion heavy and tone down the tank/thor if i need gas. | ||
