Reason: Terrible comment. -_- On February 03 2011 15:47 tyrless wrote: Even with a title that mocks us in its brazen indignity I gave the show benefit of the doubt and watched the whole thing, trying not to cringe at the shamelessness of it. Let's get the obvious out of the way, Idra is immediately disqualified as any kind of authority on game balance, if not for the simple reason that he plays the game for a living than for the historical fact that he has always campaigned for his race of choice as the underpowered red-headed stepchild of SC2. Artosis isn't much better considering that since day 1 of his SC2 casting career he has languished to perpetuate a narrative that presumes Zerg as the ever-victimized race of hopelessness. The concept alone is like the perfect setup for a punk'd starcraft edition. So really instead of leading the show off with an incorrect definition of "fundamentally broken", they should have disclosed their continual vested interests in pushing a specific imba narrative on the community, that way we might at least absorb this new show as something more than a subversive attempt to propagate their tiresome agenda. Following that they might have discussed the fact that there is no such thing as "perfect balance", it is a mythical creature that will forever elude Starcraft. But they seem to not understand this basic premise...if they want perfect balance then they are playing the wrong game and should go learn chess. Furthermore, it's important to understand how dangerous it is to aspire for perfect balance, because every time Blizzard makes a change that is meant to balance out the races it often times will come at the cost of marginalizing the differences between them (which makes them so unique from one another). Sure they could make the Corruptor statistically identical to the Viking, and then maybe we'd skip the silly comparison between methods in which Terran and Zerg can effectively combat Collosus, but that's just incredibly shortsighted to even bring up such a comparison, as if equivalency should exist in the first place. This leads to the next, less obvious point which is... ...that these guys apparently have absolute zero understanding of balance from a design experience, and seem to be bafflingly ignorant to the philosophy behind Starcraft, perhaps blinded by their ingrained hypercompetitive mentalities. This is evident from how they go about discussing why the Collosus is "potentially" imbalanced (lol @ faux objectivity). Mainly they lack perspective, the kind of which I trust only to the designers at Blizzard and not self styled progamers. Speaking in a monotone voice might make you sound more reasonable but it doesn't suddenly grant you +20 to logic. More important though is WHY they are doing this. Was the GSL really not a big enough of a platform for Artosis to cram his imba opinions (OPINIONS, not universally accepted facts as he presents him) down the community's throat? Was Idra's position as one of the most famous foreigner players not enough to broadcast his pro-zerg bias? There is nothing actually useful being provided here other than fanning the flames and misdirecting any useful conversations about the design of the game. What is the goal here, to start at the grassroots and somehow reverse trickle-down their agenda into Blizzard like an imbalanced trojan horse of imbalancing power, thus ultimately influencing the design of the game in favor of zerg? Yet I have little doubt that no matter how ahead the zerg race is by any tangible or intangible measure, these two dudes can be counted on to find new ways to explain away the causes for zerg success, just as they did with the first two GSLs. Even when zerg is curbstomping, it's because the other guy just didn't play properly of course! Basically it's disappointing to see them wasting their time and energy on such unproductive shenanigans, when they could be doing legitimately constructive things for the SC2 community (as they often do). By the way for any suckers who are thinking "oh wow they are actually being pretty level headed and thoughtful about this it's not the QQ fest I expected", well YEAH HELLO it wouldn't be effective if they were overt in their intentions, it's got to seem more genuine to be taken as such. As it is it's impossible to take these types of discussions seriously when they don't have a solid handle on balance in the context of Starcraft. OH WELLS LOLO?? ps Artosis does not play Protoss, he pretends to play Protoss to lend himself credibility for this EXACT charade haha. sneaky troll is sneaky. Otherwise Artosis is awesome and I can't wait for next GSL because Tastosis are the coolest =] Idra is just boring  | ||
