Since Ret's IEM game isn't relevant to his above statement I don't understand why you feel this is an appropriate place to comment on the loss. sure, that's fair enough. if he opens the door to comments on widow mines by calling it impossible to lose with 20+ as wel as bio, i feel this is an appropriate place to address it. i hope you or ret are not offended, that wasn't my intended purpose of the comment. | ||

also this game hasn't even been out yet (with even the latest beta patch) for 3months. I'm not inclined to consider anything op until quite awhile has passed, considering the last year of WoL...... | ||

FFS I'm getting tired of people complaining about balance, the game isn't even fricking out yet and people are already demanding nerfs, it's like there are people who believe they cannot win without getting the other races nerfed.

Just wait it out till 1 or 2 months after release and if its still an issue then proper measures can be taken with the data that gets collected in the meanwhile. Exactly.

It would be like stim without the damage.... no risk to not use it once again blizzard doesnt understand. [insert idra past comment with the tire iron] i cant really agree with that - it costing energy acutally wouldnt make it a lot less OP (then again, it would be about the amount of energy it costs). the sheer speedboost and the duration / cooldown on it are what make it very strong. But i dont mind things being strong right now. in some situations, it could even be worse if it costs energy - feedbacks would do less damage :D | ||

On March 08 2013 07:30 TotalBiscuit wrote: Why does the community seem so willing to knee-jerk demand nerfs to everything interesting in the game before it's had a chance to properly develop? well, some things in the game can be very obviously imbalanced. In those cases, not nerfing would fuck up results (and probably some players pockets as well) pretty badly. is this the case right now in heart of the swarm? im not sure - but i dont mind very MINOR changes to things that appear too strong to everyone. That doesnt mean that u have to remove any interesting elements of the game, u just have to tweak them very little to such an extend, that they possibly still appear overpowered for the moment. Im totally fine with blizzard thinking about nerfing protoss lategame air and medivac speed boost - i would even add widow mines to that list. I just hope they do extremly small changes and dont "remove" specific aspects of the game (example: medivac speed boost costs 15 energy --> that might turn out to be a good change, it doesnt do a whole lot, but might help in some situations | Bad change: medivac boost gets a 40 second cooldown --> just way too much, takes out interesting gameplay) | ||

That said, if you want to /fp at the quality of the debate, I'm sure there's plenty of good material to work with. | ||

It's good that they are going to wait to see, though. Most likely if changes to these mentioned pieces come, they will be small. In any case, people will still complain, especially when Protoss loses. If a P wins IEM it might greatly lower the chances of the 2nd change though. | ||

Food for thought: Despite all the boosters OP calls, I didn't see a single ZvT at MLG yet where Zergs were going for a muta heavy style or spore defense... neither abduct style defense. +1 to wait before nerf | ||
