thats the approach they took with WOL and it became stagnant as fuk as more and more strategyies got eliminated thanks to each nerf. -Queen buffed as a way to nerf hellion run bys? all early game terran aggression dead. -Infestor buff in wol to do more damage+ faster rate of damage fungal from 8 to 4 seconds resulted in chain fungals being so strong, eliminating void ray usage. -ghost snipe nerfed to 1 use , when the approach could have been different. Such as 45 damage to everything, - 15 to massive. -Blue flame nerf killed MECH TvP according to goody. -Thorzains thor abuse resulted in thors recieving back thier energy bar as a nerf to thors which removed them from the TvP matchup. The list goes on and on If you people keep asking for nerfs, you gonna destroy this game. Becareful what you wish for. Widow mine nerfed? guess what, All you gonna see is WOL style terran, no new units Medicvac speed nerf? Ask anybody if they can tell the difference between WOL and HOTS if that was to happen | ||

A lot of people get angry at them, but I have faith that they know what they are doing, especially now with HotS a lot of SC2 is looking on the upslope. It seems that blizz got a kick in the pants with other competing E-Sports since SC2 was really the most dominant until recently, and now they realize they have to step up their game hardcore. | ||

Even I was slightly surprised by how stupid that was. Seriously, he is not going to say he is GM with three races if he can't back it up. I don't think he is going to be taking down Life or Flash any time soon, he does work in the office where it is all SC2 all the time. I think people on TL are just having a hard time believe that Blizzard has anyone on their staff that good at the game, let alone DK. | ||

It's a simple matter of, when you close on a ball of enemy units, there isn't enough space for even a majority of your shit to attack. it's a bit better on creep, but fucking forget it otherwise. that being said, the burrow charge kinda seems it would be too powerful without some sort of upgrade or skill shot--or some other mechanic that didn't just flat out improve an a-walking zerg. i mean, the idea of "Burrow charge" on a unit of that size is kind of stupid anyway. even an armor-activatable ability or something for a short duration would make more sense. | ||

You can have all the blind faith that you want, but blizzard's borderline random changes at times don't support the idea of it being a staff that is in touch. | ||

Yeah bullshit. Not that impossible considering he's working on and playing the game easily as much, if not more than a progamer. It's literally his job to be good at this game, especially if he's the head of the balancing team. | ||

Proxy oracle? I've never even heard of that, nor do I see the point. I think the oracle is the worst design unit out of all the new ones. Since it's expensive and doesn't do anything special... let's just make it do damage really fast. Void Rays might be a bit too strong, I hope they don't over-nerf them. I agree that the hellbat is in a good place now. I was never a big fan of Ultra charge and hope they'll leave the Ultra as it is. Overall I agree that the game seems really balanced. My biggest concern being that in early game ZvT there is really nothing to keep the Terran honest. They're leagues ahead of any race defensively in the early game, and I think that people will eventually find ways to abuse that. | ||

he should make a few showmatchs after all haha well the ultralisk is super strong perhaps even to strong now and give him now charge ... uhhh On March 15 2013 06:25 peidongyang wrote: I'm calling bs on the gm three races thing That means he is performing at a similar if not higher level than thorzain, sase and a lesser tier Korean pro Zerg at their respective races? Yeah bullshit. you talking shit man and i hope you know it, being GM on LOWER level they said so its like 150-200 ranked GM to be true such GM's can be even beaten by top masters and for someone playing it so much its understandable to be GM ... i would wonder if he wasnt i mean he was high master in the beginning and master with all 3 races can be done in less then 500 sc2 games ! (i did so i know) and if he plays the 100 * of that he is GM no matter what, gm not means pro by far | ||

KRGM does mean that, once in a while, you should be taking down Flash and Life or players of similar caliber. I doubt his statement only because many times, in his 'situation reports' and general thoughts about the game he says things that feel completely out of touch with what's happening in the actual game. | ||

HELL NO why KRGM means you can beat flash ? are you crazy man ? does mean you being 200th GM on europe you can beat socke or ret ? NO you lose 0-100 to them by far far far .... and its even huger in korea most pros play intern and not ladder so if its on kr and not us server DAMN no does it mean anything with less then 500 games i was master in korea and if he is playing alot then why not GM ? low gm means NOTHING (good players are master because kicked out not play few days etc) so again to make sure, being GM not means your pro and it can still mean you lose 0-100 to EVERY to pro not only flash or life even 0-100 vs gumiho your argument is so ... AH DAMNIT | ||

We will need to see top level players against top level players, I'm talking Code S level. I think the fact that the Life vs. Flash showmatch turned out to be so epic was not a coincidence and I have not seen ANY player that compares to either of those players yet. I think there are enough top level players coming up in MLG where we might get a better idea of where HOTS is at. | ||
