The TL map making contest is a step in the right direction, but why the reluctance of including community made maps in the map pool to a much larger degree? Considering how difficult it has been to balance the pvp early game, would you consider removing warp gate tech from the game and rebalancing gateway units accordingly? | ||

It cannot hold locations ( like expos) by stalling a army and the baneling is a massive Hit or Miss unit which makes it really bad design compared to the micro intensive lurker(burrow unborrow in siege range etc etc.) | ||

1. Is the inclusion of highground advantage considered for HOTS in some form (damage reduction, random miss, etc.)? If not, why? 2. While probably an infeasible change at the moment, what do you feel about a general lowering of rate of fire across the board or for a lot of units? (This question due to the "things die so fast phenomenon.) Thank you if my questions are considered. | ||

1. Opportunities to catch an opponent on the move are now limited to 'are his tanks sieged?', where before any large army could be vulnerable to surgical strikes or prepared ambushes while manoeuvering, allowing a skilled player to 'do more with less'. 2. Maxed battles tend to happen within the confines of a single screen and a handful of seconds rather than the epic, sustained, sprawling engagements of BW. Defender's reinforcement advantage is also diminished. 3. The delaying effect of static defence is diluted, because all 50 marines/roaches/stalkers turn up at once rather than straggling in. Question: Does the SC2 team have any plans to make it require more skill (and time) for players to bring the full force of their army to bear at a single point? | ||

I guess the best question for me is 'what are your thoughts on the 1-1-1 build order supposedly being imbalanced' but i guess everyone already said that. | ||

Warp gates etc? he's not serious, he's just a butt hurt terran trolling my question. heres my question "The Terran race is incredibly versatile, weather it's the wide range of opening strategies that they have, or the tech tree which never needs a real divergence, being that the most stable strategies involve the barracks, the factory and the starport and from their they can branch into ghosts, Thors or BC's with 1 building for each respectively, the vast majority are readily available and also interchangeable with addons in the game. Was it intentional to make the race this resilient, can you explain the reasoning behind this and weather you have plans to develop the other race's to be either able to punish different openings with different strategies, (e.g. a harrass unit for protoss or a siege unit for zerg) or develop the other races to be as resilient." | ||

--- Do you still plan on making the colossus work in HOTS? Or did balancing it snowball a lot of other balance? | ||

I just feel like air units in SC2 aren't as viable an option in the game compared to before, unless of course your opponent doesn't build any form of anti air during the whole game. | ||

That's true. These are the things that have always bothered me watching SC2 after some BW matches. I really hope they adress it. Maybe the new units are already a step into this direction. | ||

Sir, why does end game PvZ simulate a game of cat and mouse (infestor/blord vs P-deathball). That type of play is completely retarded for a RTS like SC. Something needs to be done about it, how bout adjust the armies so they are actually meant to slam into eachother rather than run and dodge each other. | ||

With unit clumping due to better AI changing the way you have to balance the game, have you ever considered implementing a formation-system like there was in Warcraft 3 (but improved), where you could maintain certain formations/spread? | ||
