Yeah what im saying. They want the game tested right? Send in the big guns. Better players should have better chances it only makes sense :/

Sadly it is a game and is not only for competitive play, so they have to test the whole range. The thought of testing one control group of masters players doesn't help the game stay fun and consistent at all levels of play.

That beta roulette sounds fantastic. I've got a healthy ban repertoire anyways, I'll take that chance for another!

I'm high masters and I'm biased as all hell, and don't understand the game for shit. I don't think I deserve the key any more than a gold league player.

I think they should just invite players randomly from all tiers of ladder, plus a big number of pro-level players. Emphasis on the pro level guys, as they are really the only ones who can truly test the balance and metagame developments.

They should send keys totally randomly, because if the game will be balances at top levels, some newer players or with lower skill will have problems with average mechanic of new stuff and units with abilities

Which can be done by inviting high level players.

The game should only be balanced at the highest levels, while still maintaining fun for the lower levels. A game not balanced for the apex predators is a game that has no competitive legs.

Sweet. Knowing my luck though, I probably won't be picked lol. Might be like WoL beta and I won't get it until the last wave or something :/

Wait what?

The Beta Roulette.


They only had 11 pages last time? I'm actually really surprised.

Edit: I really hope someone bumps the thread after not reading the rules too closely.


If they do this again I am 100% post in that thread.

I can only assume this is a typo and you meant to write 'hamsters'.
