I loved almost every single one, but the one that hurts is the dark shrine change. What in the actual fuck. DT expand every game with a chance for autowin

Yeah the DT Shrine change is scary, gotta get that detection up earlier!
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

My prediction:

2/3 of the balance changes will be awesome
1/3 of the changes will make people rage


100% of the changes increase the use of the following words:

A-Move
Defenders Advantage
Positional
Casual
Reduce Micro
Siege Tank

Health restored per second from 9 to 15.Energy cost reduced from 3 health per 1 energy to 5 health per 1 energy. Cost increased from 100/100 and 80 seconds to 150/150 and 110 seconds.


whoaaa, I understand it's more expensive, but I don't see early lings having any chance against drops that put marines in corners/tight spaces. Have to get roach/banes.

It's not exactly a cheap upgrade. Does hardly anything vs banes. Worth a try.

Zerg don't have to create tight corners if they are careful about their building placement.

mineral patches do that.

Overall, I think this is the best patch to date from Blizzard. Still much work to be done though.

Now back to me. Your Seeker Missile is now Yamato. And does not splash, so it just got much weaker...

As an interesting idea, why not allow PDD to intercept fungal and EMP projectiles? More importantly, where is my tank buff?

Cherish this moment of global happiness, for it soon will turn to endless whining by at least one of the three races, once the new state of balance is uncovered

I hate this approach, really. It's radical, but it's just adding gimmickry. TRULY being radical would be 'ok we goofed up with certain design concepts'. They'd fix those and if necessary add kind of cool things.

It's not the changes, it's the lack of a visible coherent philosophy. Please somebody tell me what Blizzard is trying to do with this? Other than a 'goal' like promoting say, harass-based play. Tell me how Blizzard are actually approaching the specifics with a clear overall philosophy of making the game better, come on, if I'm wrong tell me why I'm wrong.

There are good changes, and bad.

At least the Protoss changes you can look at, address and they all make sense, kind of. That doesn't apply to Terran or Zerg changes, at all.

I can do this, if necessary on a case-by-case look at each change, and try to explain this concept of an overarching philosophy not applying, at all. It's not consistent in terms of RTS fundamentals, AT ALL.

It might be radical changes, but what it sounds like to me is Blizzard has there head on straight now with this balance approach, it sounds like they got Flash, Bisu, and Jaedong to sit in a room and balance HOTS untill they see fit, and now we have this wonderful good given thing that is going to be a great successor to BW. I hope.

O Dayvie, such good intentions. But does he have the tools and knowledge to pull it off?


He's a genious compared to 99% of the balance whiners on TL and he made sc2, so I guess its ezpzlsqz for him.

I like the changes alot!


What changes? DK posts ideas and thoughts about the game


The "ideas and thoughts" concerns possible future changes. You aren't seriously wondering what he means though? Please restrain that smug part of yourself, please.

no more baby steps. at-fucking-last.
One time that happened and I just stopped everything, selected the offending SCV, hit Cancel, moved it over to my Barracks, made a Marine, had the Marine shoot it to death, then left the game.

What's important is that the design is now great! Balance problems can be fixed via tuning the numbers. I however agree that lots of whine will be incoming soon

The design being great is a massive overstatement. The vast majority of the problems with the game's design remain unfixed. But props to Blizzard for fixing some of them.

Exactly ledarsi, I mean yeah they might lead to a better game for sure, and they showcase some balls on Blizzard's part!

Most Terrans are happy because they will be having an easier time against Zerg, judging from their comments. It's like the opposite of the Queen patch, although it is a lot larger in scope and may lead to other cool things
