Yes, and although tons of people will point and go "LOOK PROOF OF IMBA", it's impossible to tell whether or not it is because they aren't familiar enough with HOTS or whether some things actually need nerfed. Fruitdealer won more than one game in the first GSL with proxy Nydus ling/roach attacks. Pretty much every Terran player was doing Banshee openers, except for the few who were opening Tank/Raven. | ||

Fruitdealer won more than one game in the first GSL with proxy Nydus ling/roach attacks. Pretty much every Terran player was doing Banshee openers, except for the few who were opening Tank/Raven. Except that those games, especially Ty vs. Innovation and Last vs. Soulkey, have been happening in high level play in HotS for quite some time now. Terrans have been using their hellbat drops with widowmine/siegetank defense and triple expand behind it since those units were buffed. We're not talking about a brand new game or completely new mechanics like it was with the early stages of WoL. And you should not forget that quite a few things that you mentioned were nerfed later as a result of people abusing it. Dark Shrines used to be cheaper and took less time to build, Roaches had 2 armor and 1 supply. And, well, siegetanks did 60 damage per shot. People figured it was too strong and thus it got nerfed. We had enough time to figure out that hellbat drops are too strong, we had enough time to figure out that terrans can be too defensive with the new siege tanks and widowmines. It IS possible to tell whether it is IMBA or not because we are familiar enough with HotS. And with "we" or "us" I mean people that have played many hundred games in the beta already. (I used terrans as an example. There are other things that need tweaking aswell. Hellbats were just an obvious example that anyone who saw the games could understand) | ||

 Flying vs Rain? I thought that it was Flying who used those Void Rays so well. But it's Rain! Everything in its right place now | ||

 All jokes aside, it'll be nice to see some Idra play. That I'm a particular fan of his, but I'd like to see where one of the early "stars" are nowadays. | ||

Everything has changed, yet it's all stayed the same. I'm crying inside. | ||
