1/3 months sound do it, i don't want another Terran abuse beta or a gom TvT over near a year of 2011, neither do i want a 6 month of Broodlord/Infestor turd turtle.

Let the players figure out how to play by themselves, do not force down the throat changes based on seasonal trends

For the love of god, there is no single unit that dominates the game, so therefore I don't see any need for any changes for a very long time. Let's play the game. Stop changing things all the time.

Its also a fine line. Seeing almost all zergs lose to terran then getting on ladder and doing the same day in and day out when the other matchups at least feel winnable... the longer this goes on just promotes people quitting their race and or the game which is not what we want either. widow mine doesn't make much sense the way it hits everything and has aoe. i mean no one even makes tanks anymore.... clearly a problem with design.

I'd say as long as takes before blizzard has figured out how to nerf protoss air play (Void Rays, Oracles) so it becomes weaker but not shit. I really like that protoss got a harass unit but what I don't understand is why it can kill marines.

What I don't understand is the mentality that marines MUST be able to easily beat any air units.

Outrageous issues will make themselves obvious enough, obviously. They should be dealt with, but I do not see anything such on the cards, just a bunch of angry nerds whining because they lack dedication.

Sorry to do the standard OP whining, but clearly Zerg is pretty weak against several Terran builds, as well as late-game PvP. If I were king for a day, blinding cloud would work against Mines and Air. If we are asking for the greatest demonstration of skill, the Viper is probably the hardest unit to use effectively in Starcraft. But the problem is, even when used correctly, it is worthless against WM and late game air/High Templar Protoss. Vipers are still worthless in Plat-Bronze, but the pros could make them worthwile if they worked on air castable abilities.

It all depends on how severe the symptoms are, and then it's almost trivial.

Wheres the option "when theres a glaring imbalance"


sounds good to me as well
its a stupid idea to put a date on it
right now Z seems weakest overall but thats natural since Z is more adaptive/less creative than the other two races.
what if Z figures out the timings and gets a buff?

No.

First let the players try to adapt (some are already doing particulary well, it means there's room for improvement for other players, which might not adapt as quickly, but will eventually ...).
Then see if there's imbalance somewhere...
Seriously, I'm tired of this, the balance change must happen AFTER players have tried to adapt... Not before when it's purely emotional and impulsive...

It took zerg one and a half year to figure out the broodlord/infestor lategame win strategy. i say 2-4 months would be a great time, let one or two gsl season go through. When that is done, you can watch for balance issues. If there are any real balance issures, go patch ASAP. if there arent any - why do a patch?

3ish months. not asap cuz it takes a while for things to settle into an observable pattern (of imba) and not much longer than 3 because at that point there should be some imbalances that are becoming apparent that can be fixed, and obviously you want to patch clear cases of imbalance as soon as possible.

I'd say at least 2 seasons of GSL (about 5 months). During that time, we will also see a full season of GSTL and 1~2 rounds of Proleague (depending on when Yongsan construction finishes and Proleague resumes). That should give enough time for teams to crank out new strategies and figure out the metagame.
