Idra gets banned for it and all those people who make threads and posts that claim that the game is fine go unpunished as long as they make it(the post) a 2 page long essay. How much more obvious the imbalances have to get before we can publicly acknowledge them? | ||

That said, yeah he's one of the few people around here who should actually be allowed to talk about balance, but it can't be done with all the stupid, so he doesn't in any depth. And the amusing, yet low on content posts that result from that piss off mods and around our little circle we dance. | ||

Still, probably not the best to discuss here. I guess it frees up more time for side projects though, yay! | ||

How much more obvious the imbalances have to get before we can publicly acknowledge them? about the ban: the crazy bans policy starts with people flaming jinro after jinro said he overheard the caster shouting when idra 6pool. i personally respect jinro so much and never use any offensive language but still get banned lol that means idra's bitter post in tl will easily get him ban since then. i actually research again about hows TL works(fyi i play forums since 2000 and i am mods myself in some forums so i never in my life get 1 ban in any forum) and from this post my doubts is confirmed: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=86434¤tpage=23#457 (some nice discussion in the 'Why closed my thread' thread) - TL is not a 'SC/SC2 community', it is 'TL community' which related to SC/SC2, TL mods can do anything they want (ie you are annoying to any mod = u are banned, regardless you are just saying your opinion neutrally). so idra really needs to play smarter here on TL from now on. How much more obvious the imbalances have to get before we can publicly acknowledge them? we are not 100% sure that how 3 races play out yet, it is still a very young game. imba talk is never 100% right because any neff/buff to any race can affect any MU hugely. i must say i think what idra said is very close to the truth but seeing that imba discussion is not allowed on TL now(TL is a good voice to blizzard), what he said will never get recognised unless blizzard actually do something about it. | ||

Maps. - All patches are null and void until the MAPS are fixed. 50% of the losses IdrA is complaining about would have been wins if it was on a map where Terran and Protoss alike can't just simply all-in and automatically force the Zerg into ONE playstyle. Play with this one play style, or lose every game on a small map - pick one. That's how Zerg is right now, and that's just lame race design I can totally see where IdrA and other higher end Zergs are coming from. On January 27 2011 05:31 DoubleReed wrote: Yes, that is what IdrA has said. Idra said that Nestea is a really really good player. He's not trying to take that away from him or his success. He's simply saying that if you look at the players he's played, it's usually somebody who isn't nearly at his skill level or a ZvZ. Hence, Nestea got to where he is by luck of the brackets. His point still stands regardless of Nestea's skill level. Why is it that people are always so quick to jump on the 'oh my god stop QQing band wagon'. This incessant attitude with so many people on here has really got to end. Seems to me like no one can say their opinion whatsoever anymore without having 20 people attacking them saying they are 'qqing' and 'your points aren't valid' and 'stop complaining'. Guess what everyone, telling someone to stop QQing is in itself COMPLAINING!!! So how about we all shut up with the god damn QQ syndrome and accept that maybe once in a while someone other than oneself may have valid discussion topics, and concerns about balance, and map design. It's also getting very tiresome to here the latest one 'the metagame isn't developed enough to determine map balance' - nope its the other way around entirely actually the maps aren't balanced enough to actually see correct metagame development. | ||

Yeah but the claim is since you cant be 100% certain of that, you are not allowed to post such ideas. | ||

Yes and by that logic no one should ever post anything ever because you can't be 100% sure of anything you post unless you get it proven by three experts in the field. Pretty sure that goes completely against what a forum is for. Sure there are a lot of erroneous posts about balance, but there an equal number that get instantly dismissed as 'qq' because of stupid elitist trends. I mean if you want to follow the rule to the letter regarding balance posts, the discussion you and I having right now falls into that category. Although it is clearly about the way balance posts are handled on the forum - not about in-game balance at all actually. | ||

so allowing IdrA to go unpunished would create a hella lot more whine threads i think  | ||

I just really don't see how his post was out of line, because for anyone that actually plays this game in Diamond you will see there is definitely a lot of luck to playing Zerg, and as I and many others have already pointed out this luck is the map pool. Far positions on Metalopolis for example gives a solid map for Zerg, but if you spawn on the close positions directly across from each other it becomes a completely different map for the Zerg, while the (assuming non-Zerg) opponent changes their play far less significantly in response to position change. I agree with that true whine posts and threads should be dealt with, I just don't think IdrA's albeit short post, was a legitimate whine. | ||

Posting balance crap in LR threads is unacceptable, and despite IdrA's knowledge and ability in the game, his post was trash. LR threads are for talking about what's going on in the games at hand, not bitching about a race's capabilities in the general scope of Starcraft 2. Also it was a blatant balance whine, because he's complaining that Zerg can't win with skill, in his own IdrA way we all know and love. | ||

Im not doubting balance, im 2550~ diamond zerg myself and im not blind to the imbalances, but i was saying my view on why TL mods seem to be strict on IdrA, not about balance issues. | ||
