Hots Balance Update #15


The Hellbat takes another strike from the nerf bat in this latest HotS Beta Balance Update. Citing it's ability to quickly turn map control into a strong push, Blizzard have today instituted a change that reimplements the transformation servos upgrade which are once again a requirement to turn Hellions into Hellbats.

• Hellion
  • Transformation to and from Hellbat Mode now requires the Transformation Servos upgrade from the Factory Tech Lab.
  • Transformation Servos requires an Armory and costs 150/150, with a 110 second research time.

Nerf bat ftw.

its a good change and was probs in the works for the past couple of weeks

[mGGDaedalus]

A decent change. Now they just need to fix zerg's late game anti-air for both matchups.

[FStitanium]

+1 for that even as a Terran player. Early Hellbats is a huge problem especially to Zergs. Now people just have to play it the same as In WoL, like the blue flame upgrade timing build.

[Dingobloo]

So after checking out the change, it's back to the way it was a few patches ago (but still with the new damage). You can build hellbats once you have an armory out of your factories including being able to reactor them, but to transform existing hellions you need the upgrade (which itself requires an armory and a techlab)

I recently lured an oracle onto a widow mine by fleeing scv's over it to escape it's death beam.

Whilst I lost that game, that moment was of tremendous satisfaction.

Combat the op protoss unit with a more op terran unit, good plan yo

i think atm, vipers and widow mines are too good

I had my settings on low in one game, and got blinding clouded... i didn't know what the **** was going on when all my immortals were just walking around looking confused then i realized that they were under that stupid blinding cloud shit. Graphics going up so i can actually see it.. T__T

[ROOT`iaguz]

as a terran I don't think vipers are so bad.

Oracles are ******* absurd though.

Reapers should probably require a tech lab again too. As a scout and light harasser they are brilliant but they are pretty bullshit outside of this role.

otherwise game is fun.
