PTR can test bugs, maps, editor functions... it's really not limited to balance | ||

I am sooo sick of hearing about how Zergs got buffs just because of complaining. Zerg got buffs because the game was imbalanced, not for any other reason. This idiotic argument about how the "zerg lobby" whined it's way into all kind of buffs needs to stop. Blizzard hands out buffs and nerfs based on game results, not the biased whining of the community. | ||

Blizzard hands out buffs and nerfs based on game results, not the biased whining of the community. Remember the PTR that was up before the infestor buff? Fungal was changed to a projectile that didn't hit air but still did more damage (like it does now). I don't think that change lasted for more than a day or two because the community outrage was so strong, so they changed it to what it is now instead. I commend Blizzard for actually having a PTR, but they definitely don't spend too much time cheking the results of the changes they make. That being said, the players who actually play on the PTR are rarely the kind of people who actually should be testing the new changes (e.g. top-level players), and are more likely a small group of players spread out among different leagues, so I don't think they can get accurate results from the PTR anyway. | ||

Sure everyone has his/ her own opinion about balance but the game is actually not that horrible right now. We also know that Blizzard takes their time with patches and changes only "terrible" stuff, which leads me to the conclusion that in the near future no patch will be coming out. According to the Race Win Percentage thread, and said graphs, the game currently sure as hell isn't balanced. Everything points towards a good nerf for Terran. | ||

Just because that's how it is since a month now doesn't mean anything. The games was pretty much balanced (again: everybody will always whine, I also would change some stuff). At least, at no point before it was better balanced. The game changes, new strats come up, players will adapt, it just needs some time. And I say it again, Blizzard usually thinks like that. They wait what happens before they perform major changes. If something like a patch will come out, it will only contain minor (mabye only bug or editor) fixes. | ||
