SC2 is such a convoluted game, there are countless options that have yet to be explored or fully imagined. By reducing everything to an essentially "flat" balance scheme, it will be redundant and boring. Fantastic writeup. | ||

And it is still the beta so there are still strategies to be seen and i am looking forward to seeing the counterstrategy to some so-called "overpowered" things | ||

However, I'm optimistic. Having two expansions means blizzard has two opportunities to majorly shake up the game after reflecting upon what they've done wrong in the past, so I feel like by the end SCII can be all we want it to be. | ||

let players and mappers take care of "smoothing out the edges". blizzard would better spend their time analyzing community maps and adding them to the ladder map pool than to throw in a balance patch just because "rush XY" is overpowered on a certain map. | ||

What I want to add is a theory Mark Rosewater made about Magic:The Gathering. "It depends on the number of hoops you have to jump through if something is overpowered." The Lurker + DS strat means you build Lurker teched to Defielers, researched DS, researched Consume eat a few lings and positioned well and fast. - That is a lot of hoops. And Players learned to take them while playing there game without losing while building up. Massing Roaches + A-Move is no hoops at all. Roaches protect you, even. So that should not be totally ridiculous, but it can be powerfull. And FF for example have only one hoop: 100 Gas per Sentry. Which is some but not enough for them to win against almost anything (with an army in the back yadda yadda) Storms take really long to tech to and lots of gas so I got the feeling that there are some hoops here and not that much of a "overpoweredness" so justify the hoops - but thats just me. Anyway I think this concept helps when saying: "Some things should be overpowered!" And they should be! btw. what I understand was that burrowed Roaches where faster than non upgraded walking Roaches before the patch, and Blizz didn't like it in ZvZ. But that is something BOs could have worked out. | ||

I think as patches begin to slow down, we'll realize that there will be less crying and more strategy development since Blizzard "won't listen." | ||

Plus, BW - in it's current state - did not exist until patch 1.08, which came out almost 3 years after vanilla SC was originally released. So no worries if this version isn't perfect at 1.0 (which it won't be), there's 2 expansions and many more patches to come. | ||
