So to call 90% of this thread retarded is just wrong. Besides, what does Orb's ranting and rage have to do with this patch-notes contest anyways? Orb are you pissed off for people suggesting patch notes that you would never suggest? You should be happy about it then because that means your patch-note suggestion should theoretically win. Also, if this is a patch-note contest for beta keys, most of these people probably havn't played the game, so why are you trolling newbs when you have better things to do?

Because on a certain level Blizzard listens to the players and unfortunately when you look at the patch histories (things like the DT nerf when no one complained about DTs since they're half as useful as they were in brood war, etc) it's obvious they listen to the casuals more than the high level players, and unfortunately these idiots are shaping the game in a terrible way.

When you dumb down every race to be as attack move as the zerg are right now the game becomes hopelessly boring and is not fun to watch. Micro/spells are what make starcraft such a spectator sport (PLAGUUUUUU STORMMMUUUUU etc), yet it seems like everyone just wants to attack move to victory while they sit there and watch their units' AI take over

My point was that calling other people retarded simply because you are Orb and you don't agree with them is wrong. Half of those people probably watch your daily show. Its disrespectful. Try something more constructive because pissing people off because other people pissed you off isn't helping your image.

DT nerf was a suprise to me as it was to alot of players. However, you are mistaking causality and outcome if you think that Blizzard listens to casuals more than top-tier players. It is in no means evidence of such a thing at all, it is your simple guess that blizzard listens to noobs rather than you. We really have no clue as to where Blizzard gets most of their information because they don't disclose that. Moot point and pointless, moving on.

Its true that dumbing down a race to attack-move is boring, I am sure that top-tier zerg and terran players would argue that their unit usage is anything but attack move. Even if everyone wanted to just attack-move to victory that is probably not what they'll get.

Besides, top-tier players all know that noobs want easy-wins and attack-move strategies. If you were put into a situation where you only had to beat those noobs and automatically be called a pro-gamer i'm sure you would find your way out of it. Top tier players don't attack-move or cheese as often, you should know that by now otherwise you are just being difficult and unreasonable. When you play Idra, I think attack-move would be the least of your worries.

Lol no evidence of blizzard listening more to casuals than high level players?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

you just completely nullified your entire post

you clearly have never heard of this game called wow

Also, remember that storm nerf? Essentially 99.9% of the reason why it was nerfed was people screaming imba on the Bnet forums. You can do a search on TL forums and you'll find probably not find any good threads trying to argue it was imba pre-nerf.

I've gotta add that if we must talk about wow... Yes they do some things for the casuals but also keep in mind the amount of tweaking that went in to skills just over problems in Arena. The high level arena teams are definitely not casual. In my opinion Blizzard does their best to please both, they may not succeed but... casuals give them a lot of money, high level players add to the longevity of the game(and other things) and they need us both. I imagine it would be hard to balance the interests of both especially in SC. To be honest I think they're doing a pretty good job
