That was a great read. I got the impression that Blizzard is always trying to improve what they have planned with the expansion. It reminds me of Day[9]. On SoTG he said he is always incredibly hard on himself. Otherwise he stops improving. Just like a player's ability, SC balancing is always terrible when compared to perfection. | ||

Seems to me they have this set logic about how the game is supposed to be played and everyone is wrong if they deviate from that... Well duh, you develop a game on what you want it to be like. You don't just put random things in it and, no matter what the game turns out to be like, say that it's ok. Otherwise they might as well not make 3 races, why not just 1. Etc. | ||

What frustrates me most is that blizzard never really reverts nerfs after specific issues are addressed. Reaper too good with speed vs zerg? No problem, just nerf reapers instead of making queens slightly faster or increasing roach range. Then when roaches get increased range because zerg needs it, they don't go back and address what caused reapers to get nerfed to begin with. Same goes for the queen speed nerf (due to the spine crawler/creep tumor push), they nerf the spine crawler burrow speed. Would it really hurt to give queens faster movement speed off creep now that the crawlers were nerfed so badly or are they afraid of letting zergs pressure so early in the same ways that protoss can cannon rush or terrans can bunker rush much earlier? The thing is they bandaid patch things over and over until very little of what they originally intended remains: That being these cool units that they worked so hard on rarely get used (reapers, mothership, viking harass, hydras, ultras, carriers, BCs, numerous engineering bay upgrades) and eventually get removed or forgotten. | ||

I am very much in support of this idea BW upgrades generally increased max energy 50 and and starting energy by 12.5, which isn't a bad way to go either. I don't know why it was decided that increasing max energy was a bad idea for WoL (smartcast, I guess?) Warp-in storm is bad design, whether it's balanced or not, and it's not coming back. | ||

Terrans: 2 new units, 4 upgraded units (battle helions, Battlecruiser ability, reaper ability, thor) Zergs: 2 new units, 3 upgraded units (Ultras, Banelings, Hydras), 1 removed unit (overseer) Protoss: 3 new units, 2 removed units, 2 nexus abilities. So Terrans, whom in Blizzard's own words are the most complete race in WoL, get the most in HoTS....?? | ||

I like that he's willing to point out that difficult /= broken. Certain things are intentionally difficult, but it's a matter of comparing them with their asymmetrical counterparts to see if the game is balanced overall. Good read. | ||

For example, I think nexus recall will revolutionize protoss play. | ||
