imo diamond is just a place where its harder to just outmacro people and just muscle them out with whatever units you want, and composition begins to actually matter. | ||

With mouse only you could beat win almost every game until Masters with a 4 Gate. On August 03 2012 07:25 PDizzle wrote: didn't losira beat incontrol using only his mouse at some mlg? (keyboard stopped working or something, can't quite recall the tale) He said his keyboard stopped functioning in the middle of the game, and based on how badly he played that game I'm inclined to believe it, he did lose that game but he easily won the series. | ||

i have a feeling this has to be more about map making (be it custom or melee maps) than actually balancing the game its hard to apply to something that you dont know what it really is, which makes me skeptical. not to mention the silly low diamond+ requirement that makes me feel this is something anyone can do ? :p if they wanted actual balance help they should reach out to progamers which they say they do (they dont, and they barely never did) and if they want mapmakers they should contact our mapmakers directly i feel (those guys have high ambition) | ||

Yeah there is a new option available if you want to change servers that allows you to transfer your ladder status. So if you were to go from NA to EU Master = Diamond. Should you choose to goto Korean/Taiwan the exchange rate is Master from remaining servers goto Silver. You really believe all this? You state it like there is a black and white exchange rate converts your current rank/actual skill, based on where you play. | ||

Well you would logically think so... Pro gamers are unreliably biased because they play the game for a living, to make money with their race. They need unbiased people on the team regardless of super high GM skill. | ||

They need unbiased people on the team regardless of super high GM skill. If you aren't high GM there is no way you can even begin to legitimately balance the game around the professional level. It's just not possible and if what MorroW is saying is true (many other pros have said the same thing), that's probably a huge part of SC2's issues right now. If they took into account pro feedback from the large number of high level players from all races that would help mitigate this bias. Someone who isn't a pro may be unbiased but they are ultimately 100 times more useless when it comes to balance. | ||

The diamond requirement may seem like a joke, but it's just a low limit. There should be many with exceptions. What if someone is really intelligent but is handicapped or such? Anyways... DAMN I WOULD LOVE TO WORK FOR SC2 SHIT FUCK LOL too bad it's temporary | ||

It's a misleading thread in general: - being diamond is one of the requirements - junior position, influence upon design in a hierarchical structure such as blizzard will be minimal. Probably nothing more than a tester for feedback - requirements are always negotiable - job has been listed for a couple of months at least now. Really freaking old news - thread opens with a negative bias meaning most people here are incited to attack or defend diamond players further | ||
