"Also, forward proxy gate Zealot rush was popular for a bit after release. This didn't get much use among the top players, but it was near impossible to stop at silver-level play. So we pondered how to fix this balance issue without affecting top players, and in the end, we decided to increase the time required to build Zealots to get it balanced." ..... Seriously David Kim.... NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING should be done based upon silver level play. It seriously upsets me that changes like the zealot build time nerf was made because silver level players were qqing. Also the reaper nerfs were nice, but I thought there were a little much (being a zerg player). Now I find out that they were nerfed because of 2v2 play. Great.... | ||

^Yeah, we know what it means, but it sounds much cooler when you call a person a "Grand Master" than calling it a "Grandmaster League". | ||

No just something that will break diamond up. When you hear that a player is in the silver league, platinum league, or bronze league, you get a general idea about how good of a player the person is. There will be anomalies of course, but most of the people follow a general skill level. With diamond you can't really tell how good people are because there are people in diamond who know how to execute only 1 build order really well and have a basically notion of how to counter things their opponent throws at them. Then you have the people who know how to carry out several build orders, know how to react to their opponent, and know how to play a good late game, then you have the pros all clumped up into one league known as diamond. I'm not saying that we should keep adding leagues, but the skill gap from the top of diamond to the bottom is HUGE, whereas in the other leagues it's not anywhere near that big. | ||

After you remove the top 100 players from diamond and shove them into master league I'm not sure that the remaining diamond players are going to be THAT good to warrant another division within them. | ||

I don't understand how increasing the zealot building time doesn't affect top levels as well as lower silver leaguers can someone explain? I think he meant that they are trying to balance for lower levels while trying minimize the impact to the upper echelon players. I don't think it's possible to accomodate lower players in a way that it wouldn't affect better players too. But I haven't seen too much of difference with the zealot change so I could say they did an ok job :> | ||
