Even so, I think that Blizzard's design/balance team definitely has far too few people. I know a lot of people who have beaten him on ladder. He isn't a pro. He's GM, but not pro. | ||

Do you really expect them to ask such blatantly loaded questions or are you just using this thread as an opportunity to vent your balance complants? Loaded questions aren't good ones because if Browder answers them as posed, he is basically forced into accepting the stance that is implied in your question. imba or ba? | ||

Opinion on the ghost? Opinion on carriers? Opinion on mule - does it in his opinion not punish Terran enough for an 'all in'? View on the infestor and neural parasite? Has its usefulness been significantly reduced? Opinion on ladder maps and 'rush maps' - Does a casual player really enjoy being cheesed/all-inned? Do they ever contact pros for views on balance? How is balance determined? Only on statistics for win rates? How do they balance the game? From the top or the bottom of skill? View on the 1/1/1? What is their reason for the Terran dominance at GSL? What new capabilities do they believe each race will have with the new units - how do they think these new units will influence the game? Do they believe that adding new units shifts the metagame too much? Starting from scratch can completely change the game - will they not let the metagame settle instead of new units every expansion? Opinion on spells that take away from micro and consequently the skill gap - fungal, forcefields, emps, etc. Opinion on the lack of early game scouting for toss and zerg. Is this something he thinks should be improved upon? Do you need a bigger balance team? Do you have destructible rocks at the back of your bra? I'm done. | ||

I think TL has the ability to adapt statements into a more amenable form. The general feel of forum-goers is that the questions asked need to be pointed, hard questions. The community is, with respect to certain areas, in an uproar, and DB needs to see that first hand. There's no need to be impolite toward Blizzard, but substantive, difficult questions need to be posed if any serious progress is to be made. | ||

In addition to the 20 sec warpgate nerf, what about the pylon range nerf and zealot/stalker build time nerf? Those changes were also attempts to address the PvP 4 gate issue that were unsuccessful. Now that PvP has finally shifted away from 4 gating, is there any plan to get at least some of that back? | ||

Lockdown, Stasis, Plague, etc. | ||

In-battle micro, army positioning, and related tasks have a higher skill ceiling than scouting with a unit or scanning/overlord/observer (which is easier in SC2 than in BW). Given this reasoning, would it not follow that smaller maps actually magnify skill discrepancies, because the most difficult tasks are given increased importance relative to map size, and players with the best mechanics have a magnified advantage because the lesser player has less opportunity to beat tactics/micro with strategy? In addition, the psychological feeling of having lots of space between you and your opponent probably means more to a weaker player than being able to more easily memorize the map layout. It also allows weaker players to attempt 'hi-tech' strategies with more exciting units that are rarely seen in short games on small, unforgiving maps. This excitement can often balance out the discouragement of a loss, because exciting hi-tech units got into batlles. Do you agree or disagree with this assessment? Why or why not? | ||
