Making units to be interesting, then balancing, generally leads to more entertaining gameplay then making units to be balanceable. This of course, doesn't quite explain how the Roach got in their -_-. | ||

THIS CAN'T BE REAL If they wanted a balanced game FIRST, they shouldn't haved added Zerg in the first place. They seem to have done the right process of whipping out creative units first or else they could have ended up redoing Warcraft 2. | ||

They said in this interview this wasn't even the process they have taken with other games. There's no reason balance would result in something like WC2. | ||

They are done with the pulling unit designs out of their asses that's why we're playing beta now.like they just arbitrarily pulled unit designs out of their asses and called it a game? | ||
