I personally couldn't care less about the perceived lack of balance in SC2. You can't measure balance in complicated games like this. What I care about is SC2 became sooo boring to watch and to play  Games are so similar to one another that my favourite SC2 of 2013 was probably cannon rushes in WCS finals. Not that I watched too many in 2013.Ok, I guess I could have phrased that better. Sc2 is the best current RTS game. Current as in mostly played (outside of SK), streamed and tour(na)mented. And yes, Bw was (is) so much more for to watch. edit: are there even companies trying to make new big RTS titles or is everyone on either the moba or the mmo train? | ||

If those are your criteria, then SC2 is the ONLY RTS game. So of course it's the best. It means nothing. It's like being the most delicious thing on a plate of shit (or rather, a plate with nothing else on it). | ||

I just assume that there are some RTS titles out there that I don't know of (and thus must be worse). | ||

Blizzard makes most of their Sc2 money from people who buy the expansions to play the campaign, so their multiplayer team is small and a rather low priority. There is no financial incentive with the current business model to improve the game. There is obviously so much more potential if the game went f2p, both in terms of the quality of the multiplayer and the profits Blizzard could make. Are they willing to put in the time and money needed to change the business model of the game? Probably not, but it seems odd that they would create WCS if they don't have long term plans for SC2, considering Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone are not being pushed as esports (yet). | ||

In warcraft 3, undead was almost unplayable and Orc was overpowered forever - nothing was done. Night Elves and Human players have won just about anything in the last 3 years | ||

Hehe yeah im 344 and know personally number 20 (he has 2nd best int time in the world). Should probably post something on topic: The biggest problem I have is when someone from the community suggests a nice potential fix to make the game more interesting and better in some way, and they just come up with a transparently bullshit reason why they don't want to add it, usually about making the game noob friendly when really this is not going to make a difference to noobs at all. (Nony's carrier suggestion for example - did this every get implemented??) That just winds me up I don't think they're actually doing such a bad job. Hopefully they talk to progamers loads before lotv as it seems this is the only time we may get a fundamental change like people suggest. | ||

This was written in their website when the new season began... Feedbacks and community are very important for Blizzard, sure. | ||
