Isn't that the same guy who did Jim Raynor from SC?

No. It's the guy who did McCree in Overwatch. Like I said.

Whoa it's hard to believe he didn't do Raynor. o__o

Yeah, I went back to double check. Mathew Mercer had nothing to do with Starcraft.

You can't be serious =) SC2 design team consists of a bunch of nutless monkeys. David Kim is just the guy who throws bananas at them. Anyone would do a better job in SC2 than David Kim. He's a guy who's completely out to lunch on what made BW good and what makes SC2 so bad.

Which is a bit ironic since DKim used to be a BW pro.

Tin foil hat time: what if he did that on purpose so that people would go back to BW?

Man I had feels from that teaser video and I didn't even play dota1

I can't wait to see the patch notes

Some random bold predictions:

- parity roshan area on radiant side and randomized/alternating roshan spawns
- some dank ass UI changes
- healing reduction effects/items

I am sure he likes and prefers the quiet life, albeit not in temporal stasis.

They are just trying to keep the myth alive - just like the game.

No idea, but it's really strange a guy can stay employed when a game that wasn't that good to begin with gets worse and worse with each expansion and patch that it gets.

Maybe Dota 7 was Icefrog's plan when joining Valve all along

But Valve works in Valve time so the last 6 years were filler for the big 7.00 update
