Medic + Dropship = Medivac

My bad.

Anyways, I like the Medivac the more I hear and debate about it.

 

i like medivac. i prefer a new healing mechanics than to play the medics for another 10 years again.

 

Although everyone will miss:

Are you ready for your sponge bath?

 

bring back the medic, period

 

i liek the idea that a medic gets reaper packs for movement... they dont carry the heavy weaponry that a marine has too so they can also use jumpjets. I also like the idea that a dropsdhip can be used like a field hospital with armor

 

^ good idea. medics with jetpacks (maybe in the campaign at least).

the dropship should land and turn into a field hospital.

but i like the idea of medic drone drop better fro the medivac.

 

i still think that the medic inside medivac opens up a whole new world of cool animations. Just think of a dropship lowering slightly and a medic rapels down a rope and heals the person, then gets back on and climbs up lol

 

Jugger. Starcraft is supposed to be fast paced.

 

that animation caould still be fast
+ they could also just use it in just a mission cutscene maybe

 

I'd rather discuss the animaion that will appear in the actual build.

No, the animation can't be fast... A medic or Medivac is supposed to heal instantly, otherwise they're useless. They have to quickly react when units start to take damage. The Medic would have to pop out all of the sudden which would look horrible.
This is why I also think that a medical drone flying down would look weird too as it would have to travel really fast, and the target that is being healed would have to start getting hp even before the drone reaches him.
The current beam is the best way to do it IMO.

 

all we need to do now is try to find a pic of this beam

 

After seeing the WWI games I'm ok with the current build. Yes there are downsides to early game micro but I think blizz can help that out by returning splash damage to the Marauder as Itza said.

My biggest problem was how long it would take to get yourself some starports. Teching seems much faster now though. 2 gysers at the start and at least the Toss tech tree seems to have been streamlined.

I don't wholey dissagree with having both medivac and medic. However, I won't be heart broken to loose the medic at this point. I'm a little tired of M&M in TvZ anyways.
