I think most would agree that no patch blizzard has put out has ruined the game quite yet. So they admit that they do look at the lower leagues and team leagues and all of a sudden all they cant patch worth for shit? What I read was that they look at the team leagues and lower leagues, but try hard to not affect 1v1 too much. I say if they can succeed, thats great. I agree that blizzard should make sure that 1v1 is their primary concern, but I dont get why people are hating on blizzard for looking at other parts of the game.... Otherwise they should of just removed everything else. Its like hating someone for thinking of doing something lol, that seems a bit silly doesnt it? Ill be right there pitchfork in hand if they make a patch for 2v2 but screws up high level 1v1, but until then I say we wait and see... Also, I feel the replay was a little more then just "Oh this guy lost to void rays, we must nerf them" Come on guys, even if you doubt their brilliance, Im pretty sure they arent THAT stupid lol Anyways cool interview thanks | ||

As for the one-game contradiction there is no contradiction at all. He clearly says that the outcome of a single game or ten does not bear any weight at all but that what specifically happens in the game can be very meaningful. This is the same philosophy they have always claimed, a million whiners make no difference but a single good argument can. | ||

Sure diamond level players will have better game mechanics and will notice balance issues sooner except when it comes to abusive builds, they counter them handily and either gloat in the easy win or whine about lousy cheese. Silver level players however don't know how to deal with them, and have a hard time finding a matchup that is actually fun to play. Telling them to suck it up and l2p will not help anybody here. Game balance affects every league differently, so yes changing the zealot build time can be huge in silver but minor in diamond+. I think the 1.1 and 1.1.2 changes have been sensible for all levels of play, I really doubt platinum and diamond level players rely on proxy gate and proxy reaper so much that these changes really upset their builds. Don't hate the silver level players, you were once (if even briefly) at their skill level! | ||

A. We can't do balancing patch around just 1 game or 10 games. Q. Recent patch changed how Void Rays work? A. A Korean progamer, who played a Protoss although his main race isn't Protoss, sent us a replay showing a weakness of opponents in a certain specific period of time when a Protoss is using a Void Ray. Through the replay, we gave Void Ray the change that it received. C'mon, Dayvie. | ||

After reaching Diamond leagues are no fun anymore. So new challenges would be great! Kind of fun that none of their own balancing members thought that a zerg would make it in GSL1 xD | ||
