At the end of the day, when there are millions of dollars flowing through the competitive aspect of Starcraft, the only pertinent figure is a nice 50% bottom-line.

No, this is all wrong. What you want is variety, and that's fine; but the game is pretty well balanced right now. Your complaint is like saying Brood War was not balanced because the Scout was (mostly) useless; that makes no sense. I would also prefer a situation where units like Reapers had a legitimate role and where the implementation of Strike Cannons wasn't so poor... but guess what? Blizzard stated that they don't like it either, and are fixing that for HotS- giving Reapers a way to heal themselves instead of their anti-building attack, and making the Thor more like the Mothership. To me, that is the ideal solution- it fixes the problem and doesn't muck up the game balance in the process.


HotS is 2 years away, WoL is 2 years old and there are simply too many units/abilities that are broken or just don't fit for a mature game. In my opinion, this makes breaking the balance somewhat worth it to deal with the stagnation.

As far as we know, HotS will be a 2012 release, meaning at most 10 months away.

In the long run, if you focus on the wrong things, your mediocre game will stagnate and fall apart as the tenuous community gets bored and moves on to other games with different philosophies.

The other thing that I think is completely fucked up is how everyone keeps clinging to the "Terran OP" bandwagon....


I hate when people say that. Everyone uses that phrase for all of the races.


That is true, but terran is the race that people call OP the most, often because of racial representations in tournaments, etc.


How many Terrans have been winning lately? I don't think its bad play. 5/5 for this OP. One of the best I've read in a long time.
