And yeah it really is too bad that the Cyclone which was supposed to help Mech's early game TvP, ended up buffing Terran bio and overall... i do wish the design was handled better. And to have more weaknesses so there's more of a fun rock paper scissors thing as herO says. Sucks if Protoss openings are further limited... | ||

Hero's comments also reveal that pros absolutely have views on game balance, while strangely the community is heavily discouraged from discussing this topic. I guess a part of the problem is the difficulty for people in online forums to be honest but civilized, but I believe we should encourage both. | ||

Even if it's mostly just him playing worse that still has to be part of the story at least. Yeah I mean, surely? Mini-slump aside he’s still been quite good at PvZ and taken notable scalps, a matchup that those nerfs didn’t hugely effect, especially his signature style. It’s PvT that herO and basically every other Toss is having an issue with, although I guess he did mention the cyclone change too. I wasn’t 100% sure what the two meant about talking rock/paper/scissor, but what I assume is that herO was saying that the cyclone is too good an all-round option against Protoss opening gambits, so you can’t mix it up and take calculated risks to gain an edge so much anymore? That does somewhat track but I’m not 100% sure I interpreted that part correctly! | ||

I do agree with him that the Masters of Coliseum finals 1-5 against Serral was not his best form, especially that disastrous G3. I felt like herO on a good day would at least make it a very close series and may even have hope of beating Serral. He's been very good on small online cups, here's hoping he can actually make it in big tournaments for once. No player is literally invincible of course, but Serral in ZvP is about as close as you get. Even guys like Reynor or Dark while absolutely fearsome and can demolish any Toss, aren’t nearly as bulletproof and can, and have been beaten by top Tosses. If anyone has a shot in a high-stakes match it’s certainly herO and I’d absolutely love to see the best PvZer in the world go against the best ZvpPer more often. That said I think if they’re both bringing their A game, and especially if it’s a Bo5+ Serral just wins. But A game herO could certainly give it a good show, and he’d probably beat a Serral who doesn’t bring his absolute top game. | ||

Weak vs Stargate, and strong vs stalkers so that mech has something good vs early blink stalkers and can take their 3rd. Though then maybe they'd be too good vs Gateway and probably Immortals too... Maybe Cyclones can have less HP (like 100), and remove the Armor tag. So they're a little better vs blink stalkers and would trade equally or slightlyy win, while Stargate is a little better. But that's probably still not enough for Oracle/Phoenix to be good vs them, and Immortals would be way worse. Maybe someone can figure something out though | ||

Honestly I’ve heard at least 15 better conceptual iterations of the unit from folks theorycrafting on here than how the unit currently got implemented on the game haha | ||
