I like the inject mechanic, I like forcefields, I like warp gate.....there's nothing in HOTS that is totally broken, like we saw at the end of WOL with BL/Infestor.

Seriously, look at the amazing games it continues to produce:


HOTS is good enough that it doesn't need a complete overhaul, it needs tweaks.

This game actually looks god aweful. Deathball vs Deathball and both sides dont want to engage because one fight takes it all!

The problem with 2.5.3 and the economy change made is that the game is very poorly balanced around it.

Zerg had their macro mechanics automated and nerfed, whereas Terran and Protoss had theirs (MULEs and Chrono Boosts respectively) outright removed from the game. Hell, Protoss was the only race to have some research times reduced to compensate for the Chrono Boost nerf whereas Terran had nothing.

Does it therefore, not surprise me that the game is heavily Zerg-favoured in its current state?
