Balanced SC2 won't happen until Blizzard lets the community make ladder maps. Just today I saw 4gate vs zerg on Xel'Naga in GSL, that shit can't be balanced ...

The current balance is quite frankly shocking. Blizzard has failed epicly. It's not just bad... it's dreadful.
Dawn of War2 was a lot better balanced from day1... and that had FOUR races.

No surprise honestly. Blizzard became quite bad at balancing. WoW and wc3 are a complete mess and never had a time period where the community considered one game to be balanced

You say that like they were good at balancing at any point in time.

Warcraft 2 was an almost-mirrored game that STILL managed to be imbalanced in favor of Orcs.
Starcraft pre-BW was pretty dreadfully balanced.

Basically they got lucky once with BW, and people pretend it was a gradual process of Blizzard getting worse at balance?

Blizzard's balancing is like M Night Shamalan...

Nobody knows his previous works except 6th Sense (our case BW) and some people claim he is one of the best writer/director and others claim 6th sense was total fluke.

Blizzard got lucky with BW but all the works after just seem to get crappier and crappier... much like our Movie Director. Of course this is speaking only in Starcraft universe. Diablo universe is awesome... so far. D3 might be trying to please too many audiences at once, imo.
PM me if you want random korean images translated.

Wow I can't belive that only the very last balance patch increased the spawning pool cost to 200 mins.
Also funny how the 1.08 patch has so many big balance changes compared to patch 1.1 for SC2.
