I mean, batriders and spirit walkers are the only units in orc i hardly never use. And those units was buffed.
Not big change though. | |

| I suggest you start using those units. They are both very important units even now. | |

| Don't you love orcs? but you know what they should do? they should make batriders have more hit points and cost like 75 gold....cuz all we doing is killing them and just damaging 1 hippo ...and sometimes not even killing them....and they die so fast in heavy air....

| Damaging one hippo?!?! dude they do splash damage, can damage a lot of units.
And if they'd cost 75 gold, air would be useless against orcs. | |

| They won't kill it, trust me. Melee air won't TOUCH the batrider before it explodes.
Overall, I like this patch. Blizzard is giving Orc more of an anti-caster type unit because of the Spirit Walker's disenchant. It was already the largest ranged dispel, and now it's even bigger. What did people complain about with Spirit Walkers though? None other than the mana cost of disenchant. I'm now a fan of the spirit walker, because as it is, they're excellent units (without upgrades).

| Their build time has only been reduced by 2 sec. Does that much time make a big difference? i dont think so. | |

| 2 seconds can make or break a game. 1 HH, 2 seconds less. 2 HH, 4 seconds less. 6 HH, 12 seconds less.
Rebuilding time is key. Mostly helps the HH/Hunt/Potm strat in 2s.
