We feel that at this time, we should give players more opportunities to fully explore the slowly-shifting meta-game before we change the balance of the game. Wish they just did this all the time.. players, most of the time will figure out ways to deal with any problems and on some occasions Blizzard should have just waited longer before making changes | ||

I'm sure he could write you a book on the various things they do and look at to come to conclusions, but it's not worth it if he's just making a 2-minute update. Simmer down. | ||

WCS- enough said Korea- P has always been good and the metagame shifting benefits them I guess MLG- Zerg champion ( not to say that was balance related Leenock played beast but still) Racial balance in tournaments is a terrible way of looking at balance in general. They clearly just don't want to see any terrans playing on the ladder if they continue with this way of "balancing". Its pretty funny how when terrans are underpowered its ok bc the metagame is shifting, but when it comes to a different race having trouble they either baby them and show them what to do or nerf terran. The second a 2 base thor timing from a foreigner vs cross server Korean game comes out a giant nerf making the Thor obsolete in TvP comes. Or one tournament of blue flame hellions is enough to warrant a giant nerf. And depending on the day a bunker or barracks builds too fast or too slow. In both TvP and TvZ, one misclick even when you are mechanically stronger and ahead can cost the game..its OK when you are on the level of IMMVP, but everybody else its unreasonable to expect this type of play. I guess David Kim doesn't think so. | ||

Blizzard has come a long way since the release of SC2. The maps alone are a huge improvement. We should focus on making better maps and keep the balance changes off the table for a while. | ||

Did you even read it? They never said it was perfect, they said they are going to wait to see how to meta-game evolves after seeing the potential use for ravens. They still could buff them or nerf creep, but they don't want to rush things. Being patient and considerate is amateurish to you? Does that mean you are in favour of knee-jerk balance changes then? | ||

Don't worry, I have faith in you and that your ability to get enough AMP to beat your opponents. Adenosine Mono-Phosphate? You must mean either ATP (energy) or APM (movements). But I'm not so sure, given that that typo happened twice in a row... I think that the creep nerf is still necessary, as the game is, even if possibly fair in TvZ, kind of lacking in an interesting early and mid-game. And, like others have pointed out, basing balance on the status of TaeJa's and MVP's conditions is suspect. The "interest" factor also applies to the raven changes, IMO. | ||

I think in hindsight we're being gracious but it wasn't a very competitive or compelling game at the pro-level for significant portions of last year. Now after the map changes and the balance tweaks we're reaching an equilibrium where on their day no one race is really expected to dominate or more likely to win. Unfortunately, some of the fundamental design seems terrible and the gameplay stale, but this game is significantly more competitive than it was before Bliz stepped in. | ||
