But even then, the BW that people know about now a days was a result of years of map balancing in Korea and had little to do with Blizzard. The balance team had so little to do with that beyond just providing a frame work.

I don't disagree with the balance statement, BW certainly had balance flaws and if it weren't for the pro scene in Korea who applied their efforts to create maps as balanced as possible (even if some were favoured for certain races at times) BW would have been pretty imbalanced. | ||

It looks hilarious and drop micro is best micro. Really I am sort of excited for LotV, it looks like fun. But apparently I have like low standards for something. | ||

BW siege tanks have some of the best sounds omg both the hydraulic siege mode toggle sounds and both versions of the shooting sound although obviously the siege one is more memorable. Probably not terribly accurate or anything but so evocative even now. | ||

They were allowed to do crazy damage because it was used really inefficiently. But that was pretty much all of BW. Everything was terrible to control, so it did crazy shit. In some ways its true for Dota as well. | ||

I mean, he's not wrong, but thats not really the way to go about addressing the issue. "Hey, guys. I think dota is filled with dudes and it might be making us all dumb. I think we need more girls to up our smarts" Yeah............ | ||
