D- in BW would do a great job at balancing a new RTS game. yeah, i honestly think protoss is such an underdog race now, seems like the stargate tech was the only 'suprise' thing we could do, now we have to go robo tech everygame or get rolled over by marauders. | ||

The balance shouldn't follow top progamers. You cannot predict what kind of strategies they will invent and adapt. Sometimes T dominates, P dominates later, then Z. It's all natural. [/QUOTE] You can't really go based on what mid-level plats/golds say either! xD (Gold being D- (loooow D with below 50% win rate protoss) in BW imo)[/QUOTE] I would say the balance should base on those who take the game more seriously. An average young lad should be able to stay in platinum (US server before this "diamond" patch) for quite a while if he really dig how to play the game. But can't expect everybody to practise and analyze the game for 8 hours a day, for a life. Top pro-gamers should be more obliged to adapt to the game, to find new strategy combinations in the game, not the other way around. | ||

Cuz all of the pros play terran and all of the noobs play other races... ...so it's natural that terran are pwning everyone and it has nothing to do with super powerful units........ One thing I was wondering... (before the size reduction) how come thors weren't vulnerable vs AtA units? They're as big as colossi imo! xP Just kidding here... but yeah let's see what this patch brings.. once it DLs -.- | ||

Thank you folks *bows head* with so many random spells added it does feel like war3 which sucks, bw became so big because it rellied more on mechanics which made the game feel like a sport try having a war3 player play bw and see how good he does | ||

You think its OK for voids to out range bunkers w/ marines? It's not even a huge deal beyond that. Good change. | ||

When I first got into the beta I started out as a rank 64 Copper. I had little experience with BW (besides playing against the AI with my dad for fun), so my mechanics were (and still are) a bit behind. There were plenty of things I did not know about this game, and of course, I lost a LOT. But now I am in the higher rankings of Gold (not bragging, I know that just means I still suck haha). But I have improved a lot, and so, being someone who started out as a noob, and who can now hold his own and occasionally beat plats (lower ranking plats, that is, haha) I have this to say. Blizzard should not be listening to low level players. Low level players are low level because they do not understand the game yet. In the beginning, I wouldn't know what to do against reaper rushes, void rushes, zergling rushes, fast mutas, etc etc... And now I do. Of course some Copper player will say oh this particular rush is OP, nerf it. But the reality is, you just need to learn more about the game, and these things will no longer be an issue. I completely agree with IdrA and Paramore and everyone else saying changes should be made based on how the top level players play. So, again, I don't see the point in changing the game based on feedback from people who still do not understand the game. And to be specific to the patch, MMM is already deadly. Invincible? No. But deadly. And now they are just going to be even more deadly, even sooner. And FRENZY!? This is a joke. Just the fact that this "spell" is in the game is almost enough to make me stop playing entirely. It's just way too silly for me. This isn't WOW or WC3... I'm ok with the FF nerf. Don't like it, but I can see why they did it. Go ahead... bring your thors and colossus to the front lines to break them down... Let's see how that plays out  Void Ray nerf is also no big deal. I also think contaminate is stupid. I think we're going to see that spammed a LOT. Get that asap and your opponent will have a heck of a time getting out tech 2 and of course tech 3 units. GG. BOO. But then again I am simply a Gold league player, don't listen to me, listen to the big dogs  | ||

I dunno if u've ever vsed an FE into mass stalker rush by protoss or not, but the blink makes speedlings and raoches fail, and you cant get just enough hydras out i find usually. Vs one base stalkers with blink, no problemo though =) | ||

Wouldn't that also mean no drones etc? Or would it not effect the larvae? And if that is the case, that would make zerg the only race that can always produce units no matter what is contaminated. Not fair EVERYONE is fogetting though how before when the corruptor had it, noone complained. (And people wouldnt get 2-3 corruptors, they would get 8+ for broodlords later, yet nearly noone complained back then) | ||
