All I ask is for some consistency, really. I would prefer the wait for players to figure things out approach but if you are going to throw buffs and nerfs around then you might as well keep that going. Pick a lane and stick with it. | ||

I understand that their view when they see terran somewhat adapting to the situation, however, for a average terran like me I can see clearly the lack of terrans on ladder each time I play. On ladder my opponents are 20% T / 40% P / 40% Z according to Sc2gears. I understand that Kas and MVP makes it look easy, however, for majority of terrans it's a struggle. And last but not least it's great to see that David Kim sees that Raven has potential. Since that's the only word to describe Raven, a unit with a lot of potential and that's it. | ||

On a second note, WHO didn't expect that? Terran being buffed?Ha, are you god damn mad?Better patch zerg again after virtually no PTR, because only terran makes them feel like they should give more time for players "to fully explore the slowly-shifting meta-game" | ||

I have a problem with a opening that was used on every map, every time. The only question was, "how many hellions will they build". But I guess it was nice for terrans to only have to know one build for the whole match up. | ||

Either way, this change would need to happen all over again if zerg players learned not to clump their air units, but i still see motherships winning games in ZvP, so maybe were safe anyway? | ||

with Zerg. The queen range + Show Spoiler + ( on +5Range maybe 4.5/4 would be enough (yes it was necessary but not in this extend) I think they will change the position with Terran in Hots ( Zergs dominate).After some months zergs wonder why they only get nerfs and terrans get buff. finally Hots Toss will get a good buff and will dominate ( the same things with this Addon then) ect. it is most likly crap what I wrote but it could be a possibility to explain the strong buffs for Zerg. | ||

Besides if we go by tournament results, one could also point out that Terran will be the most represented race in Code S for example... | ||

They nerfed so many major things without even a PTR that had a significant impact on the balance, but now when it comes to such a minor improvement they need to think about it for months? This, exactly I have lost all faith in David and Dustin... | ||

It's good they're doing this now... but drawing conclusings from Mvp winning games vs foreigners that are obviously far inferior players is pretty silly. | ||

I hope you realize how ironic this statement is when talking about Zerg. And regardless of your opinion about pre-Queen buff TvZ, it was widely recognized at the most successful match-up in SC2. Now a lot of people compare it to ZvP... which unfortunately says a lot. | ||

People whine when blizz is patient and careful about making changes with a fair amount of testing. Standard. Except they had more than enough time for testing and their evaluation of IEM's games is atrocious at best, I watched every IEM replay involving MVP, his builds were extremely well thought-out, down to the T, his opponents were simply put subpar zergs, much much worse players than MVP, yet all that DKim could take from that is "game is fine, mvp wins, you see?"Why no PTR for a zerg buff that the majority DISAGREES with and when it comes to terran even when the majority AGREES with the change, it doesn't go through? It's laughable, queen range wasn't welcome, raven change was, blizzard doesn't care, probably thinking of new variations of destructible rocks. | ||
