Mr. Kim is too smart to be kept in his current condition. His range is greater than the 7 range of the immortal, even the siege tank in siege mode (sic!). It starts in the US and reaches over to Europe and Korea. His dps is so high, that he stopped every 4gate in PvP. OK, maybe his movement speed isn't the fastest. When people in the Beta already knew the prefect way to balance the game (remove forcefields, Maurauders and Roaches), he took his time to study the game without panic. Last but not least let's take a look at his Aoe damage. It has more range than that of a Colossus. It lasts longer than a fungal and a Hellion would gladly have the Splash of David Kim, because his decisions affect all of us and have changed the game as we know it.

Blizzard HQ discussing Heart of the Swarm


David Kim himself said on the panel that he would like some feedback. Here you go, dayvie:

Your vote: Nerf David Kim?

(Vote): Yes
(Vote): No



Note: I haven't played against him yet, but I have the suspicion that when I do, he will most definitely win. Also, he is Grandmaster on the American server what only the bravest and best can achieve (CombatEx).

You mean is too smart, not to smart. But don't forget that he is very beautiful. More beautiful than Artanis.

Once upon a time an ox spotted an apple hanging from a tree branch. He wanted the apple, so he started headbutting the tree to shake the branches. On the third headbutt, he successfully shook the apple from the tree. It fell into a well, never to be seen again.

Don't forget Michael Morhaime wore a blue terran shirt in the opening ceremony of Blizzcon. It's not a conspiracy, people.

David Kim said the only non mech unit for protoss is the zealot.
