I don't understand why you would ask David Kim about the EMP range reduction being too severe. All the EMP change did was bring the EMP radius in line with the current radius for Psi Storm.

Some of the answers are pretty cool to hear but some of these questions were kinda... foolish... Reapers dont need their speed back, HT's just need a different form of upgrade as they said, and Ghost emp is fine the way it is..


Seems like you're agreeing with David Kim on all those points.


The way David Kim phrases everyone wants to agree with him isnt it true? :D


The way you phrase things makes understanding very difficult yes? >

As usual, very little in the responses, but I'm consistently impressed with how well-informed David Kim always is (or seems to be).

Set of questions were a little disappointing (early reaper speed, really?).

There will never be enough space for the amount of questions we want to ask but that was a good read. Hope it happens more often. I love the disclaimer at the start also because their words get blown out of proportion way too often.

Wow that interview makes HotS sound very promising! I'm excited for an energy upgrade that works for the HT, and for more toss strategies!

The unit is basically unused except for early game scouting and minor worker harass. From a design standpoint, it is a worthless unit that has little place in the game. I can see them wanting to try to make it a valid part of game play.

No substance. He keeps talking about research, well what research are they looking at? A win rate is made up of so many factors that there has to be case studies for individual games for any player demands to be examined. I have a feeling they're not doing the work needed to make a competent analysis.

Why do people even interview Blizz employees? I don't think they have ever in the history of any blizzard game ever given a straight answer to anything.

seems like he's saying things will change in heart of the swarm which to me is a pretty bs answer considering hots has some time before its out. What about now? what're they going to fix now? TvP is pretty bad atm

Kim disagrees

Not to be taken lightly is the fact that balance is actually quite good right now

Just explain why current master/GM are flooded with zerg. Hard race and need auto lava inject? I dont think so.

Huh? Nobody was suggesting anything of the sort.
In any case, number of Zergs in GM is currently 71/200 on US, 79/200 on EU, and 51/200 on KR.

OT: I'm pleased to see some well thought out responses from Blizzard here. It'll be interesting to see how HotS shakes out.

their view on reapers IMO was completely wrong.

the only reason that reapers were too good against zerg was the tiny map size, and that they could kite everything

i preached back in the 5rax reaper days that all that needed to change was roach range increased to prevent kiting of roaches.

now with that increased range, bringing back the reaper speed will bring another way in which the tvz game could be played.


You mean 1 rax proxy with tech lab reaper speed opening?All terrans will abuse the shit out of the reapers.I cant believe people actually think that map size was the problem.

In my opinion,they reduced the reaper to non-existant in TvZ .They will change it in HotS so as of now i dun think we will see any reaper change in WoL.
Play your best

Yeah but Terrans cant win anymore in a balanced game. -.-

That one and the nerf question were just poor questions to ask. KA one was fair enough but once again he dodged the question everyone wanted answered: Why no energy up? He also dodged how it is the weakest caster around currently.
