Instead of being instant LUDICROUS SPEED--how about reducing the acceleration? Something more in line with how the Phoenix flies around. So instead of abusing the cooldown to teleport between drop points, its main utility is to get from Extraction Point to Drop Off Point--your Main to his Main (because waypointing around the edge of the map = takes a long time for the drop to hit). In my opinion, the instant effect of the afterburners makes it look silly and arcade-like too. | ||

And I think he is right. Does all the shit happening in DOTA 2 is balanced, I don't think so. David Kim doesn't deserve all the hate he has. Being a Zerg player is suffering at this moment but this is the occasion to improve greatly. | ||

These statements are really annoying and should have been put down long ago. Nerfs are another valid tool to use and GomTvT wasn't much better than swarm season whatever revisionists will say. I hope blizz gets balance handle quickly because this game won't have the honeymoon good will WoL had. | ||

(1) have the ultra make a different SOUND when it attacks. compare the sound it makes in sc2 to sc1...fucking jokes, man. (2) do something about how stupid the ultra looks whenever it does a sharp turn. for fuck's sake, its supposed to inspire fear, not awkwardness and laughter. (3) change its fucking appearance. make the collector's edition version the default version or something. am i the only one who thinks the ultra looks fucking retarded, somewhat cartoonish even and not even remotely badass in sc2? please. ultras are supposed to be badass. its like blizz took the ultras from sc1 and gave them an extra chromosome, if zerg even have those...bleh. | ||

Will he invest all the time to reach a similar level when the same performance can be reached so easily? As I heard Bronze is cheese vs cheese all day anyway. And you can go to Master with cheese only (even grandmaster, but then you need to be a really good cheeser I assume). Macro games will be more fun to the players, but nobody likes getting crushed by players he could easily beat before and cheese gets boring faster as all games are the same. Yes because hell advance the ladder until it stops working and he platues.... Duh | ||

IMHO it should be 3 secs worth of 'extra speed boost' , I think the 'boost' speed should be nerfed its ridiculously fast. | ||

I really find outside of zerglings it doesn't do enough damage splash wise, especially against bio. | ||

Whether or not they're actually balanced ... well, from IEM they feel a lot like mutalisk vs Protoss in TvP, which is not fun to watch. Protoss has to turtle hard for 5mins or more to not straight up lose - which is not very exciting to watch. In the other matchups I think they create interesting gameplay. Also we may see if Protoss can figure faster feedback, blink or air openings to deal with them. It's much too early too call whether gameplay will stay the same whackamole-type of style or improve. | ||

With the medavac speed boost, map design is opened up as they can really increase the size of the map. Protoss/Zerg/Meching Terrans can't just take free 3rds and 4ths anymore against a terran player on large maps. And while drops are faster, every race has the tools to stop them. Don't think you can be as greedy as you could be in WOL. Balance is more even during game phases now (Early, middle, late) and requires all players to do well in each phase in order to do well (bye bye turtling broodlord/infestor zergs, you will not be missed). | ||
