These past few months aren't comparable; Everyone plays much differently and *cough*Terran was dominant for different reasons in a different/outdated meta game*cough*. | ||

We whine because we care! Obviously everyone who posts on this site loves the game. It's just that there are two types of people who love this game. Those that play X race, and those that don't. | ||

- Do you feel your balance team reflects a racially diverse perspective? It seems to be incredibly biased because of David Kim's role. I know he's only human, and it's normal for him to be biased - but why aren't measures taken to reduce this (such as, having a larger balance team)? - What is your plan for dealing with 1-1-1? Also, how do you determine that 1-1-1 requires a metagame shift, but, for instance, blink rush requires a 30 second nerf instead of a metagame shift from T and Z players? - Have you considered nerfing mules such that players cannot drop 6 mules (for instance, on a gold expansion) at once? Why/why not? - Why must every race have its own dragoon? - In a past conference, Sen relayed you the question of units clumping in sc2 compared to BW. Your response was "just play BW." Would you not consider doing anything to unit clumping in starcraft 2 in the future? Why or why not? Is it a matter of pride? - Why has the Hydralisk been relegated to such a secondary role? It's the most iconic Zerg unit, so why did you not work on making it a staple once again? - Why are Protoss units designed for forming a death ball? Was this intentional? If not, then is Protoss getting a less gimmicky/specialized unit in the future? - Was the dps to cost ratio of Terran units deliberate? (It currently exceeds that of other races across the board.) - There is a unit in the game that does 20 damage on armored, automatically slows when it hits, has 6 range, comes with 125hp, and costs only 100-25. In addition, it can stim for increased dps and movement speed. Can you explain why such a unit is not overpowered in the early stages of the game? - Shouldn't hellions cost gas to produce their fire? - Given that Ghost tech is cheaper, faster and less of a commitment than Templar tech, how do you justify Ghost abilities directly outranging other casters' abilities? - How do you justify EMP being unavoidable, dealing 100 damage, removing 100 energy, requiring no research, and having larger range and area than other similar spells? (not to mention it reveals cloak and affects buildings) | ||

That was common in broodwar (where one race was seemingly dominant for an extened amount of time) , they will just say that the best players are playing terrran. | ||

Uuum...that was a joke about how Activision Blizzard also happens to own the Call of Duty franchise, which has made the media's perception of gaming what it is today, for good or for ill. | ||

TLDR- After SC2 being out for a year, what aspect do you consider more important for a successful game (lore single player graphics vs game balance online experience), and if the focus becomes more of an ESPORTS purist one, would you consider putting more manpower into making that a reality asap? | ||

I really like the fact that you have tried to put in/tried to make viable drop play for all three races. However, is it possible to make all three races viable "macro races"? Although playing a macro game is a solid strategy for all three races, their seems to be some races that focus more on harassment than others. In a previous interview, you said that you didn't play much Brood War and don't understand it. I understand that SC2 is a different game, but would you be willing to try out BW to get a better perspective? What about just reading battle reports? | ||

What is your reasoning for having warpgate cooldown actually be shorter than regular gateways? I remember hearing you speaking out against "non-choice" upgrades, but why would you NOT get warpgate tech? Exactly. Please ask this, as it hold them to their states goals of strategic options and relates directly to current issues with Protoss. | ||
