Post hoc ergo propter hoc as well as not seeing the difference between a somewhat (temporarily) balanced game with undesirable strategies and a somewhat (temporarily) imbalanced game with desirable strategies. The first example needs to be removed, the second can even out (and that's what happening atm, imo). most of the things i see blizzard do, make sense for me. (biggest exception is fungal in general) On what planet is anything about the way TvZ plays out now desirable? If anything, what we have now is a mix of the two scenarios you put forth. It's a (maybe temporarily) imbalanced game with undesirable strategies (utterly stagnant nr20 races to a-move hive tech armies with fungal support vs feast or famine raven play - similar to the vortex situation in PvZ). Prior to the patch, we had a matchup where the win rates were starting to look pretty consistently good and the matchup itself was much loved by the community. Blizzard then decided to impose a new balance change aimed at helping lower league players who were bad at defending, and the effect on high level and pro play was and continues to be disastrous. Even if the numbers stabilize, what we have now is very much undesirable. | ||

Broods are really only 4 supply? 6 supply could fix broods indeed. I'm just imagining a 4 supply colossus... But broods cost a lot, maybe reduce cost, increase supply. | ||

Those same "f-ing foreigners at IEM" managed to beat a few of the Koreans too. fOrGG lost to Vortix 3-0, for example.... Thats retarded he even lost to vortix when he practices like 3x as much. | ||

Yup this. PvZ isn't broken, just incredibly boring. There is no way that I can see that changing in WoL, hopefully hots can but we shall have to wait and see for that one. | ||

I really can't comment on TVZ issues as I don't play either race and play P at a low level. But, this example is wrong. I watched those games. FOrGG played badly. He deserved to lose. | ||

I'm pretty sure the tempest range 22 thing is for this purpose personally, so you won't have the zerg slowly advancing through a wall of spines along with their infestor/broodlord. | ||

Yeah, let's wait until the end of time to see if Terran can adapt to the metagame, but for Zerg? NERF EVERYTHING TERRAN IMMEDIATELY. | ||

Would you rather it be balanced at a level of play that isn't using the current units/unit abilitys to their full potential? I mean seriously people i would love a few things changed as well but they just dont make sense. He truly is clueless. Mvp and Bomber beat some fucking foreigners at IEM and it proves TvZ is balanced? What a joke. u mad bro?User was warned for this post | ||

They are godly units and should be changed to 6 soon. I can't even imagine how to beat spread out BLs in PvZ late game. Even the pros can typically only do it with a Mothership Vortex and when the BLs/Infestors/Corruptors are all clumped up. | ||

I'm dumb nevermind, because I think after you use up the corruptor it only costs a total of 4 supply | ||
