- Riot games would have nerfed Infestors and buffed Hydras 9 months ago and everyone would have been happy. This is why LOL has multiple times more viewers than SC2.
- DB and DK are idiots.
- Infestors are a piece of shit unit.

1: Maybe Riot Games would have indeed done that. But you don't understand why LoL is popuplar. It's popular not because it's a good game, but because it's free, a team game, and EASY as HELL to get in to. It's also just a generally easy game. DotA is much harder and, in my opinion, interesting. DotA is like Brood War and LoL is like SC2.
2: Very well, perhaps they are.
3: Agreed. There is nothing interesting about them. This is true for most SC2 units, though.
Coming from a Zerg player who has been Masters-High M since the beginning in '10 , I'm inclined to agree with you Fenrax. Frankly all anti-micro abilities are idiotic, and all units that discourage micro are retarded. (Fungal, Forcefield, Marauder, Colossus)
I really miss the era of Ling/Bling/Muta even if Zerg was losing, was just more enjoyable to play and spectate.
Who would you guys consider to be the biggest "patchzergs" ? Don't think I'd be able to ask that anywhere else, so I'll give it a shot here.

I've mostly given up on playing SC2 1v1, team games for fun when I can, and SC2 just isn't as fun to watch. It's due to a combination of reasons and I can't say for sure just why exactly I don't enjoy watching it as much, but yeah... I want to like it--I really do. Sometimes watching games because I like this player or that player can be fun, but that's about it.

You sure about that? This post pretty much exemplifies how irrational balance whine gets when people invest so much emotion into defeating an ideal.

It hurts too much to care about and want this game to be better when everyone else doesn't care or stands against you...or just doesn't give a fucking shit.
I'm tired of seeing the same ten or fifteen posters defending this game. I'm tired of reading posts from people who don't have the slightest idea or don't even play the game...I just can't accept that anyone who is passionate for this genre can just accept this game as it is and not want it to be better than the game that came before it...I'm too tired to care and so I stopped defending my position in the threads that pop up - because it's like two people throwing shit at each other over and over and over...I just got sick of reiterating my opinion.
At this point I just want to see this game fucking burn.

TSM's jungler OddOne has the same amount of viewers as the main stream of a big tournament, such as iron squid, ipl, dreamhack...
wow, so many people pretending that SC2 is boring/bad. you guys make me sick. it's obviously a good game and obviously appeals to spectators, otherwise we wouldnt have so many streams and viewers.
how could you claim otherwise? you must be really thick. it's ok that you have your opinion on the game and you surely have your reasons, but please stop talking about how bad and boring the game is, cause SC2 is obviously great. if you can't see that, i dont know what to tell you. you must be a complete retard. maybe you never played an actually bad game. i dont know. so SC2 entertained you for 2 years and now you're tired of it and blame it on blizzard's "bad work"? are you serious? get the fuck out. what's going on in your head?
i cannot believe it.
btw, please dont tell me how much better BW was. i'm a former CS1.6 player and i know how it feels when a "dumbed down" version of your favourite game gets released (CS:GO). people bash CSGO for exactly the same reasons, yet it's a good game.
Because no one cares what my opinion is wherever I say it, here is my opinion on this blog:
- Fuck this imbalanced blog.
- Sc2 is completely unwatchable. Either player 1's strategy succeeds or player 2 wins. It feels shitty to see inferior posters have to resort to janky blogs or hyper inane posts because no one can beat my qq later on. Can't imagine how much more shittier it feels to BE one of those defeatist posters.
- Riot games would have nerfed Infestors, buffed Hydras, given psi storm to zerg, increased zergling speed, removed zealots, given corrupters a stun/silence/taunt/snare/flash/as debuff, let ghosts stealth for 1.5 seconds, give mothership a thousand mana, double yamato damage, and make ultralisks invincible with eight second active 9 months ago and everyone would have been bitching on the forums until they released another op champion to distract everyone again. This is why LOL is much more stable to watch casually than SC2.
Hey, didn't you read the news? IT eggs will have 20 less HP!!!Now they will only survive a storm with 1 HP before hatching to full health. The balance team is obviously working very, very hard to find solutions.

not true. eggs still heal over time as al zerg units, so the eggs will be left with 1 health by the end of storm (in which case a full health IT would spawn and you would have wasted a storm).

...Lol. You're actually giving me an ellipsis when the point went WAY over your head. Don't tell me you're going to argue that infestors are why theoddone has high viewership.
