Yeah take more time, give more fame and money to undeserving players and take it away from hardworking ones. Perhaps it would be cool to send baldie and 50(per)cent a couple of red noses and fake green curly hair so they can be professional clowns without trying to hide it so hard.

To advance game, you need to fix all unused units too. Why are they there, being barely used? Buff Raven big, give reaper utility, buff Carrier big, give hydra speed upgrade. Then nerf infestor, if the game stays the same. Pretty lame when blizz dont want to incorporate every unit out there.

So nerf anything of protoss terran and nerf infestor...you want zergs to vanish don't you?
nowhere a line about one of the hydra or any other zerg units to compensate.

But a line about being open to other solutions should they arrive.

Everytime I see you post, all you write about is negative stuff. You need to chill out broski.
Changing the infestor before BWC would require a massive tactical change from all the players in a short time frame, which seems like a bad idea. It's good enough that they recognize a problem and are dealing with it logically without affecting the main ppl affected by balance i.e. progamers.

Wait, and you are one of the deserving ones? When it comes to mediocre forever whining SC 2 pros, you'd probably be the perpetual president. What a nothing you are, as a player and as a contributer to the SC2 scene and this community.

If you can't locate the find match button, maybe it's time you un-installed the game and gtfo already.

Thanks for the LOL though, bud. I had a good chuckle reading your post. Nice one.

Its been that way for terrans for a long time (not recently, but most of the sc2 lifetime).

taminator i think cloud is free to feel the way he does, you dont need to police his opinions haha. i'm sure that if you were a terran player you would be frustrated by the really high mechanical demands and decision making the race takes at a high level.. especially if your race is suffering in winrates and all that. understand dont reprimand :p

and yea i think changing inestor would be a large issue right now. it would be difficult to change it without hurting zerg alot.. however, if they were 3 supply, or broodlord were 6, i think it would look and feel a lot more balance to spectators and players

I think infestors only need to have their model size decreased and maybe a slight nerf on movement speed(like .3 or .4).

Letting EMP and splash damage hit more infestors would seem to be a viable proposition, and reducing their offcreep speed would make it harder to escape and.

Also burrow movement should be more visible.
If you don't like it, you can quit.

I'm glad they aren't changing shit before their world tourny. I think this is a smart decision esp considering back when patches were more frequent people had no notice prior to mlgs etc and in some situations it possibly ended up screwing players to a degree who had practice specific things for a matchup.

I'm even more glad however that Rock and the Blizzard developers are actually making posts and keeping in closer contact via b.net forums about both wol and hots and aren't simply throwing WoL off to the side until hots is out. Also, I def feel more at ease knowing their general time frame for possible changes. so yea kudos to blizz <3

Try hard or don't try at all.

Good decision to wait till after WCS. I think in the past they released a patch right before a major tournament that completely screwed up the balance if I remember correctly. Glad to see they learned their lesson

Why do you assume I'm talking about myself. I always loathed how SC2 was designed and I never had enough passion to win stuff back then when it was all about who had the newest all in. This just adds up to the frustration I get when I realize how slow and incompetent SC2 designers are. Zerg has been a joke for months now and all they say is that they will wait until their own world tournament is screwed up just to start looking for solutions. This is RIDICOLOUS.

I'm very happy they are recognizing the problem and already have ideas on how they will fix it. ( funnily enough, most of the things he listed came from our thread here on TL about " how would you change infestors? "

I really hope a Terran doesn't blow through a bunch of ZvTs and win the whole thing or this will never fucking get changed.

What a succinct and honest statement. I'm sad that the world championships might get fucked over because of the balance, but as long as we're constantly moving towards a better game, I'm happy.


People currently overrate how good infestor is, it's mostly a defensive unit, recently Z just started to play more defensive and people feel they have to rush into it, it's like this all the time, people did it as well about the queen change, after short time no one cared about it, same happened when T was OP, etc. and every single time nothing changed, and suddenly it didn't matter at all.

People are just too keen on looking on the presence, rather than trying to develop new ways to approach the game, not just like P are doing constantly, making new goals to do the same thing as different timings. Z started to play differently, so P and T should as well

Plenty of people still care about the Queen change and think it was ridiculous, they just realise that it isn't going to change.

ok sorry, my mistake then.
I am just so tired of seeing all the nerf threads without any compensation.
Yea infestor are broken but like it or not, zerg needs them in their current state to survive unless other things get changed around as well.

Why would you want a big balance patch to come right before a major tournament? That can only mean one thing, that the quality of play will be lowered as people look for the new meta game.
