I'm no expert but that sounds unlikely.


Dark to get DQ'd overnight for performance enhancing drugs. Rogue to get eliminated twice?

You don't see a huge variety of unit compositions though


There's that one game out of 30 that goes to an epic late game air battle, another game out of 30 where one pros tries for hydras and then shows us why you don't try for hydras, and the 28 other games are the same ling into muta/scourge.

Oh yeah it's basically always ling into muta scourge, but that can be pretty exciting imo depending on the expansion timings, etc. The best games in SSL/ASL were zvzs and most people enjoyed them actually :D The nature of the low eco style really creates a unique scenario, dunno i like it


That sounds like the same explanation Olli gives for why HotS PvP is the best match-up.

If you wanna say that muta scourge micro is similar to colossus micro, sure

Damn that was a great game by herO. Did everything perfectly. The defense, the attacks, the harass, wow.

I mean it's not that hard to "defend" when you can tag the entire enemy army and thus the opponent doesn't even try to harass you. Srsly that spell is kinda stupid


Is David Kim's spirit offered to cut the duration of revelation in half in exchange for cutting the energy cost in half would you say yes?

I mean in theory the protoss has to be more active that way, but i don't think it would change much, maybe make it even stronger because you theoretically have more energy for other things when you don't wanna tag.
But yeah dunno, the spell itself shouldn't tag every unit in the area or something. (aka limiting the number of units).
Oh well


It would help a lot with defending DTs, banshees, and especially mines early on mostly. And make it weaker in the later phases of the game. What if David Kim's spirit offered to nerf the range to 7 from 9 on top of that?


Why on earth are we even discussing a protoss nerf at this point?


It's a design thing not a balance thing.


Ah. Ok.

Medivacs are bad design, delete them. Libs too. Mines have no place in a RTS either. Queens should have no attack as they are micro units. Creep provides too much vision, double tumor cost. Etc etc.

All in the name of design of course.

(Hint: take balance whine to it's own thread please.)

But there were quite a few pretty good zvzs iirc. Maybe it's just me though :D

Looking at his stats it's just disappointing tbh. Unreal win% but barely titles/really high finishes to make it matter.
Still SSL/GSL/GSL vs the world to make up for it though
