I'm not saying it's an easy job, but they've screwed the pooch over and over again when it comes to breaking stale meta. | ||

They nerfed mines because of that and buffed tanks+merged mech upgrades. They removed Swarm Hosts because of that. They gave the one or other unit they wanted to see more of a slight buff. | ||

Deeper issues are with the game, unit compositions, and balance, are invisible to them. | ||

For every 1 thing they've done okay, they've left or ignored a bunch of issues that need to be addressed. Again, I'm not saying it's easy, but we need something rather than complete silence | ||

I don't typically agree with you, but this is obviously true. The biggest issue with the game is the fundamental design with the Protoss race, which is essentially impossible to change at this point. At the current moment in time they need to pay more attention to ladder maps (which are utter dogshit atm. s3 2014 was the best map pool we have seen in sc2) and giving Zerg something to deal better with Protoss/Mech armies in the late game. | ||

People don't want to see more Overgrowth, unfortunately. Catallena, MGR and Nimbus aren't shining examples of balanced maps either tbh. | ||

Again, I'm not saying it's easy, but we need something rather than complete silence Well, I'm with you on this. But any poll or thread set up asking about whether blizzard should interfer always ends with "wait longer", "let the game develop", "BW was balanced by maps", "I'm too old for changes", "this is not a Moba" (love that one, saying that SC2 is not a Moba kills every argument). The community is getting the game they deserve and blizzard is doing an awesome job keeping it this way. | ||

And yet no matter how much community outcry there is, Blizzard will continue to ignore and put aside this problem and continue to pretend that because winrates are okay the game is okay. Even with the complete and total backing of TL and the community, we can't even get them to look at or understand a different economy model. We can't get them to actually watch the game and see the problems with it. It's like the completely don't give a fuck, which I'm really thinking at this point they don't | ||

Blizzard and the community seem to be talking in two different directions. The community has rallied for so many fixes to the inherent design of the game like deathballing, three base capped economies, boring unit interactions, more social aspects to the client, map pools, etc. Then for LotV they emphasize more micro through adding in more abilities and spells which was not needed nor requested and still seem very reluctant to really fix the previously mentioned flaws to the game. | ||

Merry Go Round is a pretty good map (unless you're a Protoss player :d) King Sejong and Overgrowth should be int he map pool for a long time IMO, particularly KSS. But sadly people have a low attention span | ||
