Zerg - Zerg has difficulty pushing, and even with signifcant advantages in the mid-game, they can't push their opponent if they are reasonably defended, until they get broodlords out. - They want to give zerg's a way to effectively kill their opponent immediately after gaining an advantage in the midgame. - Overall Zerg has moved from being a passive, sit-back and macro race, to a more in your face aggressive, swarming playstyle. This guy simply can't be serious. Most zergs simply don't utilize the strengths of the race yet. Stephano is a prime example of someone who does. Zerg can't push? Are you kidding? Mass zerglings and roaches can and often overwhelm mid game defenses on their own. Throw in drops and its often a cakewalk. Look at what Steph did today with MC at NASL. Carrier - A lot of people still want it in the game, but he hasn't seen anyone come up with a good arguement for it, besides it being cool and iconic. You'd keep the forgettable void ray that barely has a place left and which you've altered so often since its intro yet won't even try to improve the carrier but remove it despite how prominently it marks in the attention of the community? That's a damn shame and short sighted. | ||

It reminds me of every time I have seen a new person step into a senior manager position in places I've worked. Regard anything that was done by their predecessor as bad, change as much as possible to differentiate themselves and justify why they got the role. | ||

Regard anything that was done by their predecessor as bad, change as much as possible to differentiate themselves and justify why they got the role. His reply to the TL interviewer some time ago when asked about BW epic macro/map control games (can't remember his name): "BW is a great game, if you like it go play it". Also I love how people say "SC2 IS A DIFFERENT GAME STOP COMPARING IT" yet all the fundamentals are the same; and over them are added new "cool" shit that contradict the initial philosophy and ruin the overall balance making the game worse.] Blizzard's e-sport RTS monopoly is so strong that even if HotS is inferior and worse than BW and WOL people will still play it and love it, cheese/all-in all they way to GM and cheer for their favorite players | ||

People are annoyed because instead of building on the success of the past games, they instead chose to remake everything only to make it worse. Blizz isnt making Starcraft or Diablo for the first time mind you. They've had so many years to analyze what made their games so good and yet failed to capitalize on that. You know the saying "Dont reinvent the wheel"? Well it can be applied perfectly here. From wikipedia: "Reinventing the square wheel is the practice of unnecessarily engineering artifacts that provide functionality already provided by existing standard artifacts (reinventing the wheel) and ending up with a worse result than the standard (a square wheel)." This is what I feel when someone mentions SC2 or D3. These are my thoughts regarding how SC2 (and D3 for that matter) turned out. Maybe HotS might make the game better but I'm not holding my breath. | ||

I think they want to give terrans the option of draining them of energy so templars dont hard counter them for late game terran "death ball" as Browder calls it addition? | ||

Advantage should just allow them to push back and allow them further opportunities to gain advantage while leaving opponents with a window of time to strike back and reverse the situation. | ||
