See where that logic takes you? It is actually impossible to micro a Stalker vs Marines without taking some damage, due to the animation of attack. Try it in the unit tester before claiming people have a "brain defiency". | ||

Does he feel that it makes sense for their snipe to be so powerful against massive units. Why does it have a longer range than other casters for EMP? Why do they continue to ignore the fact that close positions on any map are a terrible game design and greatly benefit different races? Make 300 zerglings. | ||

When you read balance discussion on tl or bnet or answer stupid balance suggestions all the day how can you hide your laughing? If your normal work is to develop software does it not feel strange to get asked every interview about some unit stats like the whole world depend on it? | ||

Currently, Terran has very powerful early game all-in attacks; mostly due to the high DPS of Marines and early expansion builds by their opponent. Don't you think that a reasonable solution to this would be to simply put destructible rocks at every natural expansion in order to encourage one base play until later in the game?" | ||

Do you have any plans to make Zerg less of a reactionary race that struggles to survive the early game and more into the horrifying early game monster it was in BW? | ||

Are XelNaga towers a necessary evil or optional? + Show Spoiler [long version, unedited just for the id…] + Xelnaga towers are key elements of current competetive gameplay. They give huge vision and encourage control over them. However they seem to weaken and sometimes completely disable a possible guerrilla tactics used to gain advantage or make a significant comeback. Thats a huge drawback in certain area we could call an army presence on the map. Because of towers an aggressor's main army is generally safe from flanks, also many counter attack routes are already covered by the vision of the tower. You get the idea. Towers discourage more "risky" play that can cought an opponent of guard, sudden baneling attacks, deploying bling mines, suprise fungals/forcefields/emps, shortcut drops (through middle of the map) etc. Wouldnt be the game more fun and dynamic if player had to actually constatly micro his army to not fell into a trap? Many times we can see a typical stagnation when each players army dont move, because there is no need for it the one who posses control towers knows he can be either dropped from sides or he can lose control the towers but still have time to react. If we would remove towers so there is no central point of battlefield but rather more expo/choke essential battles the game would get much more strategical. Units such as ravens (with some tweaks) would be actually useful in tvz. Where terran can actually win games not only based on the fact he killed X drones but because he was capable of capitalizing on opponents mistake and sneak control group of marines (Idra vs Marineking Tal darim altar, Stephano vs Boxer Shakuras) Will we ever see SC2 competetive play without the TLDR version (and more controversial  )Almost any map in competetive play (official ladder and tournaments) has at least 1 Xel Naga tower, is it because the game was made in intention of having xel naga towers enabled (balance wise) would the game be as balanced without them? Xel Naga towers were introduced as innovative tool along other race-specific mechanics. But they carry alot of limitations: Towers seem to discourage potential exciting army movements on the map like we see in Brood War,also they seem to restrict players into certain mindsets of not having separate groups of units on the map because Towers are capable of zoning out their potential positions, players are also discouraged or unable to use certain guerrilla/ambush strategies because of it. Is lack of tower-less maps dictated by certain mechanic imbalances in Match ups that would suddenly occur, like Terran needing to sacrifice his economy for scans and Protoss having deadly proxy pylon warp-gate mechanic also creep being much stronger? Is the game currently balanced without tower presence on the map, or the game sort of rally on them? If you like the general idea you can word this question however you like, shorten or add something. Edit: changed I was pretty much going to post the same thing, but I'll just quote and agree. BW army movements was very exciting to see and the typical 1 push win wasn't that common because of it as you were never stuck in your base. You'd exchange armies in the middle of the map and have built an acceptable defense by the time the other player showed up at the steps of your base. It was a game that favored optimal exchanges over eradicating the enemy. I also have a question regarding 1v1 ladder. Are there any plans to have 1 ladder per race or will I have to still lose a bunch of games to play my lesser races at the correct level and risk being banned as it is against your ToS? edit: When will we see (if ever) multiplayer replays? | ||

Are there any plans in the works to help tournaments deal with online lag issues (ie. LAN)? | ||

SC2 armies, although comparable in size to BW armies, feel very small because things are so clumped up. Are you willing to consider implementing greater spacing between units in the 'final' version of SC2 to maximize how big the armies 'feel'? | ||

This is such a ridiculous assertion. You won't be banned for losing games when you switch races. It's against the TOS to intentionally forfeit games in order to earn achievements (ie. win-trading), it's not against the TOS to go on a losing streak because you switched races. | ||

In the up-coming expansion, The Heart of the Swarm, all of the multiplayer focus from the fanbase thus far seems to have been discussion in regards to potential new units in the Expansion. However will there be any major changes to existing units, balance wise? (excluding the possiblity of taking units out). Thanks a lot ^^ Zionner | ||

I know it was the other way around in BW, but you want to have diversity within each match-up, right ? | ||
