Seeing as there isn't any zergs winning tournaments and I doubt blizzards goal is to piss off everyone with balance Yes. | ||

Also, he could have supported 4+ Factories, he only had 3 the entire time. + Show Spoiler + The buildings rarely factored into it. It was mainly Thor vs Ultra and Ultras were significantly better vs Thors before the patch. Poor decision making to go mass Thor, almost any other composition would have won game 3. P.S. It's not a bug. | ||

Mass thors isn't viable at all in late game when your opponent has the entire map with ultras. How are you going to attack all the expansions without getting flanked. It's impossible. End of discussion. | ||

All you have to do is turtle with your Thors, back them in a corner with like 20 scv's blocking the Lings/ultras and watch your thors wreck the Zerg army. Also who needs to push out, just stay in bottleneck positions so the Zerg can never get to you and get like 3 medivacs to set up Thor drops to snipe Queens/Hatcheries. | ||

You're wrong, there's not enough surface area for lings + ultras to be effective vs a thor ball. Lings overall is a really shitty unit vs thors, and ultras which compete for surface area die to target fire. Does that make it double end of discussion? | ||

No; they have specifically said that they don't balance based on tournament results Well they dont balancing with ladder either cause any1 bother to check ladder world rankings lately ? 1 zerg in the top 20 6 zerg in the top 50 I guess tournaments results , underperfoming ladder , pros talking how hard it is but its fine for blizzard | ||

Seems to me that to allow zero influence to balance based on tournament results is awkward. If I was a developer, I would be paying close attention to the pro scene, especially the GSL tournaments. I'd be taking notes in fact. | ||

If I was a developer, I would be paying close attention to the pro scene, especially the GSL tournaments. I'd be taking notes in fact. Notes: 1) The forums are flooded with Zerg QQ. Remember to hire more mods for the release on HotS. 2) Seems like people have no idea how to utilize Zerg's complicated playstyle. Make Hatcheries normal production buildings (like CC's or Rax), but given the ability to build all units? 3) Zerg macro seems to be pretty hard. Automining feature for drones removed - You now have to manually mine with your drones. That'll work! 4) Seems like we actually forgot to make any kind of real explanation of the Zerg race in the Challenges. REMEMBER to make ONLY Terran and Protoss challenges in HotS - the 75% of missions playing as infected Protoss/Terran doesn't make you know those races enough. 5) Banelings are, "cute"? Begin production of 50,000 Baneling plushies. Immediately. 6) The Swarm? Lower Zerglings HP to 10. They now deal 2 damage, and 4 are spawned from each Larvae. Seems like a great solution to bringing back the "swarm" in "The Swarm"!  | ||

IT would actually mean that it is possible for zergs to win and that their strategies are developing. Isn't it the same for sc1 when terrans simply weren't winning pre-boxer? I really feel that blizzard shouldn't jump the gun with patching races unless they are really broken like the original 5pool. | ||
