You better not be the reason why Psi-Storm is going to get nerfed. | ||

Boxer: I'm very weird, in every patch it's the units I love to use that are nerfed. Before, I liked to use tanks, and now they are nerfed. I also liked 3rax, but that strategy was nerfed. More unsettling is that not only was Terran nerfed, Zerg was buffed. I spent two hours writing a letter to David Kim (dayvie). Every time, the new patches are hard to adjust to, so I hope in the future the changes aren't cataclysmic. I respect Boxer but this is ridiculous. Boxer is complaining about his units being nerfed, but does he ever think that maybe he loves to use them because they're so good? (good -> overpowered -> significant advantage) I can't believe Boxer was dismayed at Z being buffed. I almost starting to think that he actually wants a TvZ imbalance like broodwar so his career can be easier. I thought he cared about the game but you can't blame him for wanting to prioritize his career before starcraft. He was not who I thought out to be. | ||

Discussing imbalance has become tabu, and the creaters of this social tabu has always been players of the stronger race. Very few have pure intentions. Boxer is asked, and he adresses the issue. The whiners really destroy the debate, and they should be slapped. But there is still a place for open, and serious debate that has founded reasoning behind it. Boxer is a marine-medic-dropship user..and tank. Everything he has based his play on has been nerfed.. so naturally he can also see how damadging the nerft is to diverse play, while also being clouded by his style of play. It will be nice to see when terran get's out of this strategical slump, and just don't sit on their ass waiting for a buff again. People just have to wait for someone with a brain to come up with something new and crazy, as everybody loves it.. And personally, I think the game needs an exp pack before it really get's people to quit their job. Traditionally Blizzard rts games get twice as good with an exp pack. People also have to work for the win..everything can't work to well..a strategical stand still will kill the strategical developement. Some sick kid needs to see what's in front of him, and make it happen. Like boxer, and many has before. and ty | ||

I'm pretty sure you don't respect Boxer because you're assuming you know him based on an interview. Maybe he actually likes using tanks and 3rax strategies because that was his style in BW? | ||

It looks like a regular v-neck to me! Thanks a lot for the translation, I read all of it!  | ||

Q. Your tactics are available for all to see online. Does that have a large impact on your practices? What would you like see Blizzard change/improve? Boxer: I have heard that Blizzard has been working very hard to fix this issue, and since they are working very hard, I think all we have to do is be patient and wait. But I am a bit dissatisfied with unit groupings and control. A lot of times when I am using a smurf account so that no one will know who I am, I still get recognized because of my unit groupings and control. Having too good of a game UI is a problem. I think making the UI a bit worse would be nice. (laughs) [T/N: It's more unit grouping than unit control but the vocabulary has sense of both.] Everything else looked pretty good. Keep up the good work!!! | ||
