    I've never done this, I just panic and try to kill them with Queens which actually suck against Hellions.

    This would be so much easier if f1 just selected each idle probe rather than jolting your view around. Fuck that's disorienting.

    For some of the gimmic matches:

    Masters can only attack with planetary fortresses.
    or only sentries
    or only banelings
    or only spine crawlers
    or only grounded vikings

    just some ideas.... also it might be good to do some trial games just to see if these are even feasible or too powerful vs bronze, etc.

    Also my opponent post game said,

    im surprised that blizz doesnt think gasless hellions are a problem.

    i think if they cost even just 25 gas, they would be much more reasonable. they could lower the gas cost of reapers down to 25 to balance it out.

    So IdrA and Artosis talked about tanks as a viable answer to the late-game strength of the protoss.

    They cite MVP v Squirtle as an example. Who saw the game, how did it go?

    I can't recall seeing the successful use of mass tanks in a high level PvT.

    Anything unscouted wins you the game. Look what you've done. Now we're discussing the balance of hellions. God dammit.

    The effectiveness of hellions is usually so binary though. They are either overwhelmingly useful, or completely useless.

    yeah really
    rofl that the entire drop can do no damage with good pylon placement and 4 stalkers that are within 50 feet of the nexus.

    T's so far behind if that doesnt work.

    I ran a webcomic for a while. It's a lot of hard work and sadly the whole deal got shut down last year. :(

    Sometimes I watch these pros on long macro games, see them in battles that seem like they're definitely gonna lose, and then, nope, they win in style.

    Incontrol just beat a zerg who went roach/hydra/corruptor with stalkers, colossus (even when it seemed ridiculous given the corruptor count), immortals, and dark templar thrown in at a few points. He kept falling back to his cannons and getting upgrades and bases and I'm just like, god damn, this fucker is really good.

    Yeah I kinda agree. I'm mostly doing it to boost my ego and make me play more. I completely realize that I would have no wide appeal.

    Agreed. Streaming gives me the motivation to actually ladder.
