not pro, just terran, he's probably right

Around that yes

Why would you state only "a hundred" terrans have quit when there are hundreds quitting -- not just Terrans, of all races. It's only reasonable to assume he meant professional Terrans, as citing random numbers of terrans quitting offers no credence to the SC2 dying due to Blizzard's lack of intervention argument. People quit all the time for many reasons and it's inevitable.

Name 20. Lol.

OMG if interceptors are made immune to fungal growth, I WILL WANK WITH JOY!

If we count all terrans that have quit the number would probly be 50% of all the terrans that ever played

It's sad when i know that thier job is just to balance the winrate.

Honestly that's what I got out of this which is really sad

We sure keep getting atrociously owned in international competition but we definitely save the day when it comes to endless whining and dead horse beating ^^
BL infest is too strong late game + Blizz do not say they are going to swing the nerfbat tomorrow = SC2 foreign community collapses in tears.

Both Terran and Protoss have nothing solid against broodlord/infestor in the lategame, and brood/infestor is literally the best option Zerg has right now which is bad too.
The addition of Tempests into a Protoss' late-game composition works pretty well against Broodlord/Infestor, in my experience.

So you just made up 100 pro terrans quitting, great. Feel free to prove the other number you made up too -- and that they're all due to the reasons you cited.

hmm seem like I have read different interview from ost people here. From what I read DK acknowledged the problem about BL/Infestor. He even admited that there's design flaw but he just stated that Zeg's dominance is not an issue which is true... Don't know what everyone is talking about here...
|
T_T looks like it's gonna be a struggle to beat BL infestor for a lot longer  and I don't see how tempest can deal with infestor tbh
|
wow didn't expect him to still deny the obvious broken state of the game, very sad
|
I dont see a bright future for sc2 since they just dont seem to realise that zerg massing infestors in every single matchup is not good for the game. Its extremly one dimentional and is starting to get boring. If hots will not change this i will be very dissapointed.
|
im very disappointed in DK to say the least...
|
That interview is good news.
I'm a bit afraid by the talk about not changing the Infestors ( even with better counter, the unit is still very poisonous to enjoyement overall ) but everthign else seems cool !
I really want to see what they can do redesigning the Raven. If SK Terran was viable in TvZ, that would make so happy.

My thoughts exactly, and he isn't sure Broodlord/Infestor is a problem?
The matchups may be balanced, but Infestors make the game boring.

GOOD JOB NONY for making that carrier post... looks like we might have our leash micro back

I believe he stated he thinks there is a flaw in the design

i think BL festor is more of a problem because of zerg having two strong anti air options and a backup anti air option.
Corruptor + Infested Terran = good anti air
Offensive Queens for transfuse = also decent support anti air
Hence, broodlords crush the ground and zerg can react to the air threats....
Maybe if corruptor DID NOT morph into brood lord?
EDIT:
what i think would be cool: fast moving, mutated "scourge" with no attacks... they morph into either corruptor or brood lords
scale cost accordingly... (i.e. mutated scourge cost is low, corruptor morph medium, brood lord morph high)
