Diamond players are in diamond because they don't understand the game at a fundamental level whether they play random or not, so there is no way Blizzard should ever be asking them. If anything, they should be asking top tier progamers instead. They understand the game better than anyone else regardless of whether they play a certain race or not. There is NO reason why they have to ask diamond level players for help. | ||

They want dia+ skilled random players to determine what seems cool as a gameplay idea and even ask them if they found it was strong/too strong in their opinion - big deal? Is it good to give rather average gamers a chance to contribute to the game they love quite a lot and have a lot of creative input by them? Yes. Is it reasonable to assume they will heavily influence the balance of the game and ruin it for everyone due to the fact that blizzard makes them the masters of balance design? I don't think so. This is where everyone is wrong. They don't want any random diamond level players. They want people with game designing experience who also happen to be random diamond + players. There is a big difference between the two. | ||

They told me they already have an internal team doing what they want, but will occasionally interview people to try find the "perfect" candidate. There we go put the pitchforks down and move on, thank you. | ||

Agreed. There are not a lot of masters randoms, and those few might not be interested in the job. So everybody calm the down. | ||

Pro gamers are not going to spend 4-6 months on a balance team when they should be practicing and making money in tournaments during that time. | ||

If you can get to diamond as random, legitimately, as in no cheesy stunts and bunker rushes, I say it's worth an interview. Surely that's a better criteria than "Expert forum whiner". | ||
