This has nothing to do with the OP, well i suppose it does, but why are blizzard wasting so much time trying to "fix" units when there is the most obvious waste of space in front of them -
Why the hell arent Bliz looking at the Battlecruiser in HoTS? It is massively underpowered and underused compared to every single other tier 3 unit out there - it's the only tier 3 unit that doesnt do any splash. Faster in flight than a broodlord, (but you cant get them en mass) and it takes 90 seconds to build as opposed to ultralisk (55) and Colossi (75). Further, it is 400/300 as opposed to the other tier three units that are generally 300/200. 3 colossi/broodlords/ultras/HTs are scary as hell. Three battlecruisers are a joke, do less dps, are obtained slower, and cost more.
Why is there so much focus on fixing the carrier, when terran has a unit that is used as often?
just my 2c
Edit: this sounds like a whinge, not my intention. my point is why are they removing the carrier when there is a terran tier three unit that gets no play (other than in 1 very specific matchup after the 25 minute mark)? Terrans just get no late game things to use, at all. all of our tier three units are terrible compared to the power levels and useability of colossi/BL/Ultra

Not I. But I am noticing a lot of people in this thread mentioning that the tempest without splash would be completely useless and not used in any matchups. A tempest without splash is a battlecruiser. How much was the Tempest gonna be? Pretty sure it wasnt 400/300.
I have only just realised how much i hate the battlecruiser. you see all the cut scenes from the campaign, in the mission where the battlecruiser flies in to pick up raynor, pwning 102839823 zerg units, or the other cut scene with the ship fighting mutas everywhere. If only the real thing was half (or even 1/3) as good as that. Unfortunately, it shoots 1 bolt. slowly. and takes forever to build.
So as for terran, we have removal of warhound, nothing said about the battle hellion (which is cool), shredder gone, which is a good thing. exploitative terrans. Could have just been changed to be "does not harm scv's probes or drones" and then make it able to be repaired.... now that would make it interesting, and firce it to be used for board control.
