one requires a 150/100 production facility and an armory 150/100, one requires a ummm a gateway for 150 minerals
not talking about the ability of zealots to be produced anywhere on the map(and the building time), and having the ability to charge.
And at last, a question; if both cost 100 minerals, why should the zealot beat the battlehellion?

You NEED a factory, and NEED an armory.
You're not getting out of your way to build it its a necessity tech path for Terran to eventually get to starport and higher techs.
So saying you require X X buildings to produce Hellbats is bullshit, you're not sacrificing anything

Hellbats can be reactored out, Zealots can't also if you factor in the warp in time Hellbats come out faster.
Only advantage is that you can warp in Zealots anywhere on the map that is powered.

Hellbats can be healed by medivacs, healing bio was hard enough to kill in mineral lines if they were dropped properly

Charge requires a tech tree and an upgrade, Hellbats only need a tech tree.

Hellbats do splash and has higher DPS than zealots

Zealots are the only real efficient tank units protoss has, once the zealot lines are gone everything else is squishy high damage slow rate of fire units that just gets ran over but now you can kill zealots even faster

rofl this nerd raging about beta units

Who made this topic then? O_o

Terrans usually are the biggest balance whiners... always crying about protoss and zerg.

Good change, battle helion drops were absolutely ridiculous

You saw zergs preparing with roaches at all bases awaiting the drop and still lose a quadrillion workers

so dumb

Kevin plays protoss.

i haven't played in a few weeks, are infestors good in hots again?

:\

meh actually not, since it doesn't bother other races anymore too much, but it has 10 range now ( longer than before) etc, my post was kinda about the process.

Not sure if serious comparing the first gateway unit you can build in a game vs a unit that requires tech past factory.
Protoss players, hilarious as usual.
