It is far, FAR easier and more effective to balance a fun game then to try to make a balanced game fun. alright david kim, make the game fun. but first make it balanced. because its no-one is going to watch "fun" starcraft games if they aren't having fun playing the game. | ||

True, but the range of the Viking (which is needed to counter Colossus range) means that no Protoss air unit can have a comparable range (with the exception of the expensive + slow to build Carrier). If they did, they could take out the Vikings; and Protoss could cut the usually ineffectual Stalker, and build ground armies purely out Colossus/Zealot etc. The Colossus is an interesting unit, but it's current incarnation leaves a lot more to be desired, I think. | ||

He is 100% correct. The map situation at the end of WoL was a travesty because of the community insistence on only having huge, super safe, easy 3 bases, "balanced" maps that caused the metagame to completely stagnate. Look at the maps Kespa are putting out, they understand what David Kim is trying to say. | ||

Yes, the tournaments are luckily going to fight to the death to avoid this as they at least understand that "not always being fair" is actually a bad idea. Actually, even a child understands that playing a game that is not fair is a bad idea. | ||

Nope... just amove those lings into dropped hellbats and then cry about it.. ... The difference there is in the cost. A 10-mutalisk ball can't even get in and do any damage against turrets without losing 1k/1k resources in the process if the defense is adequate. A boosted medivac hellbat drop or two will still kill 10-20+ workers even right on top of 3+ spines if the workers aren't run, might get out because they can be lifted when low hp, and even if they are killed will cost way less resources. I like hellbat drops and hope they stay in the game. I just don't want them in every game, forcing players to keep armies there or dedicate 1K+ resources in static D per base just to stay alive. | ||
