After I read the interview I went to search about Widow mine nerf.

Then I realised there is no nerf at all. iloveOOV is only trying to give an example hahaha.

iloveoov destroyed David Kim in this one and he's absolutely right about it. He seems to understand what he's talking about very well. I wish SC2 was a bit more untouched, maybe for LotV...

But you guys are soooo stange you say T, Z or P imba DK please balance the game why there is still no patch and now after the interview you say do not patch the game let things go...


Well I guess it has to do with the heat of the moment. People see new stuff coming out and they are excited, but they soon realise that it doesn't really change much because Sc2's problem isn't about balance it's about design flaws.
A patch always gives hope eventhough it doesn't change anything.

Great interview by oov, i'm eager to see him give more interviews

That line was kind of tricky to translate. I think he was referring to the idea David Kim proposed of reducing the mine's splash radius.

By the way, I hope you guys aren't going to completely buy this oov bravado, the guy has not even been coaching for 2 weeks yet, and part of this time was chuseok. The guy loves to talk big, and he's making things sound very black and white. :p

I am not envious of David Kim/Dustin Browder's position. You have an entire pro-scene to support, people are asking for everything in the spectrum of no changes all the way to massive game changes. Really a screwed if you do screwed if you don't position. It's no wonder that they do whatever they feel is good for the game and don't really listen to progamers or the community.

In my opinion, it isn't the changes. LoL changes every month and it is still huge.


People need to stop comparing changes/patches from MOBA games to RTS. It's nothing alike. Heck, we have Blizzard on record stating they wanted to show more restraint and let the players figure shit out for themselves, ha.


The balance changes in BW came in the form of mapmaking. If starleagues were still playing lost temple then you would see rampant amount of Terrans. Remember the "Protoss dragons" era, where they made maps so Protoss favored that it looked imbalanced. 2 Base carrier on Katrina was probably the most boring shit ever.

I think overall the HoTS changes have been way better than WoL. Changes should be revolving around making the game more fun to play and watch, rather than some sense of balance.


That's only one element bud. We could dissect every map and the reality is not every single one of them were balanced. Take the WCG map pool for instance that rarely changed and when it did you left your head scratching with some of the new options. The patches did a lot of the work when it came to attack speed/cost of turrets, the pool changes, etc. That's what we call game changing. Yeah, I remember the Protoss, 6 dragoon era well but that was sort of a cross period and then you have maps like Paradoxxx back in '04 where you're left going, "W-T-F."


I still think the largest issue in SC2 is game phases and maps. Maybe this is just because the game has been around longer, but in BW there was quite a clear difference between early, mid, and late game. TvZ: marine vs sunken/ling, M&M turtle vs Muta, M&M SV vs lurkerling, M&M SV vs defiler lurkerling, and finally defiler ultraling if zerg is winning. Whereas terran never moves from 4M in SC2, would be cool to see some raven usage. This is the best matchup in SC2 too, cuz ZvP and TvP in SC2 are nothing compared to BW. Though I do believe the mirrors are massively improved.

With maps, the fault lies in part with player influence on tournaments. With BW, the maps were just forced down your throat and you had to accept them. Players obviously don't want a wide range of map-types to practice because it makes grinding out games less effective. But in the end, we know those wacky maps were part of the fun of spectating BW. Maps were defined by their gimmicks and even standard maps had defining features. Maps in SC2, particularly at the end of WoL were just Daybreak clones making the meta very stale. Of course, the rest of the problem is due to Protoss design requiring an easy to take third which does limit map makers. Honestly, I hope mapmakers see that MSC lets Protoss get away with more greed and hence make farther thirds.

Good interview, but it is funny how quickly the community changes their opinions.

MC/Flash/Mvp/???? calls for a change because the game is imbalanced:

"OH MY GOD! THEY SAID IT'S IMBALANCED! CHANGE IT NOW!"

iloveoov says they worry about balance too much and shouldn't change things so quickly:

"I've been saying it for years, they shouldn't fiddle around with it so much. Just let the imbalance run it's course."

Next week some pro will say the game is imbalanced and needs to be patched and these same posters will be up in arms because Blizzard hasn't fixed it yet...

Someone with the balls, showed up. Whether he is right or not is irregardless, at least its the first time someone spoke this name openly, in Korea.

Balance patch was a "taboo" in BW community for many years, SC2 reality is vastly different to the one Korea knows. And its good they speak up about this "new experience".

I agree about the balance issues. In that because things get patched people don't rise above and beyond. It is 50% blizzards fault and 50% our fault. All we do is whine about balance. Until that stops, blizzard will feel the need to make changes.

Indeed. All this shows is that there is no singular community hive mind. The whole "community wants X and Blizzard/DavidKim can't deliver" is such nonsensical argument because community as a whole wants X Y Z and more, most of them being non compatible with each other.

Black and white talk seems wrong in completely logical thinking. But when you want to make a difference in this world, 100% logical thinking and safe talking is not gonna get you anywhere. It usually shows that you actually have no strong opinions and unsure about lots of things.

Well I think most don't get DK's role: he is the scapegoat of the scene. No matter what he would do he would be the one who is blamed for everything negative... (at least balance wise=
