What i don't understand is why do players stick to the race so damn hard. I mean it's their living bread. If they feel they are at a disadvantage they should switch. Why doesn't Inno switch to Z or P. Why this hanging on when it's obvious the game designer is drugged up, and loose money an entire year.

It doesn't make sense.

Anyone in their line of work identifies a problem with their tools, would switch tool. I know it's a bad analogy, still though!

Because they realize that learning a different race to get back to a similar level you had with the other race will take longer than it will take Blizzard to patch the game.



I think there are lots of benefits of switching. I seem to remember Neeb switched. He's not exactly regretting it.


He wasn't exactly a top player before he switched.

Right? Thank you David Kim!


All thing aside, blizzard balance team is doing way better than DK, the guy buffs oracle when toss is dominating, creates the golden armada, sh, bl/infest without fixing it for 1 or even 2 years...
His retirement was a good thing.

I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

You realize DK was just the fall guy for the balance team the entire time and not actually the only person in charge of balance right?

Yeah atleast it's a split dominance now, instead of gomTvT, bl/infestor or whatever era toss had

So he made his work quite well considering how much hate was aimed just at him?

We call it the blink era. Easily identified by maps like Yeonsu and Heavy Rain.

I like how you act like David Kim was making all his decisions unilaterally without input from the rest of the balance team...

1. he was a fall guy
2. after WoL rocky start we had very few metas where all ining on 1/2 base every game in several match up was the norm.
Zest fanboy.
