Well, to be fair, the game you enjoyed, BW, took quite a long time to refine as well.

100% right.
This game was not about imbalance, it was about all sentrys dieing to one fungal and Creator not using his lead to transition into makro.

Exactly I don't deny that fact. I took few year notably because of the innovation of BW to find the balance. But when this balance was reached BW was close to perfection for a long time. WoL had the possibility to do the same but HOTS is coming with a lot of new problems. We won't have a decent fair and balance game with HOTS before a long time.

But you 're right things have to change but don't do it too fast. (I'm sure LoL is also a problem for Blizzard so they have to move quickly, but it's economics issues it never good for the quality of the game)

Terran and Protoss play greedy and rush tech and econ instead of safety, and it's just what they deserved and they should have played safer.
Zerg drones to 85, rushes up to infestors, and not only is it somehow totally legitimate, but they get to actually hold out because they can trade energy (fungals, ITs) for economy (actual units).
Kinda depressing to say the least.

Just a question:
couldn't creator just moved back after killed all the lings? I mean still making pressure but just build the 3rd behind and fall back when its done...

he was 22 workers ahead. I would say it would have been a better decision

I think the schedule for expansions was set before LoL was a threat. We have to remember, regardless of LoL, Blizzard makes their money by selling expansions.

So when Protoss forcefields to trade with insane unit efficiency, or uses Storms to kill a ton of units for energy, does that make you depressed as well?
