Blizzard will add the new unit to all factions in order to keep things balanced

Blizzard has decided to play a pretty elaborate prank on its community of StarCraft fans, opting to announce that it's bringing the Warhound unit to all three of the game's factions, namely Terran, Zerg, and Protoss.

StarCraft 2 saw the release of its newest chapter last month, in the form of Heart of the Swarm.

Since then, Blizzard has carefully monitored the high-level matches between players in order to find any potential balancing problems.

Now, the studio has confirmed on its blog that it had decided to make things interesting and that it would add the Warhound unit, which was scrapped after a beta test, to all of the game's factions, namely the Terran, Zerg, and Protoss.

Check out the hilarious reasoning below:

- The Warhound has been added for Terran because robots are cool and the art is amazing - The Warhound has been added for Zerg to remain competitive with Terran. - The Warhound has been added for Protoss to keep Protoss players from whining about them on the forums.

This is all just an April Fools’ joke, however, as clearly highlighted by the tongue-in-cheek FAQ Blizzard made for the Warhound unit, available at this link.
