Thats what happens when a prominent foreign Terran decides to throw TL the ultimate bone and retire. A foreign Terran retiring is usually flame bait for a balance discussion, but Kas wanted to raise the bar. So he also threw in a quick whine about balance. I don't know how you can act surprised when Kas probably intended for his own retirement thread to be derailed. | ||

Seeing as how the pros' careers hinge on the game being at the very least balanced, they should absolutely be up front about what they think is wrong with the game. It's Blizzard's job to tell the regular whine from concerns that are legitimate, and then fix the concerns that are legitimate. Blizzard has no way to do that until they get pro input. There should be an application process and it should be open to the public eye. Maybe get 3 pros from each race. Unlikely to happen, but hey, one can dream. | ||

You honestly can't expect 50% exactly every single month even if the games 100% balanced. You know why? Because a balanced game doesn't = every race wins x % of the time. 1 month might be 55% favoring 1 race, not because of balance but because x race players just played better, then the next month could be complete opposite. Now if it was 60% and always at that then obviously there are problems. Just expecting it to be at 50% every month is stupid because balance doesn't mean it will always be 50%. | ||

Getting pro input is a lot different from the pros making the decisions though. Let the pros vote over potential changes. I mean a lot of these changes by blizz seem so random. If it came down to a vote, you really think the oracles would've got that speed buff? ;d | ||

So, for example, if you're voting about a wm nerf, you have terrans, protoss, and zergs voting. Then you publicize the results of the poll to kill any whining. It would be much harder to balance whine if changes were decided in this manner. you don't like x,y,z change? Too bad. You voted for it. xD | ||

Logged in from my vacation spot to agree with nam nam. The game can be balanced around the pro level, but for an below average guy like me, it is not. In BW even if im shit tier, I grit my teeth when I lose, but then I can pick it up and play again, because it felt fun. And when I lost, it was because I had inferior skills. SC2 ceased to be fun in 3 months. I followed BW for 4 years. There is no tension in SC2 matches, in any matchup. At all. No Lurker traps, no intense take downs of Carriers and Goliaths, Nukes feel soft and inferior, no intense air Muta battles, no bated breath of dropship interceptions. Basically, yea, I miss the BW glory days, maybe I'm wishing too much for a game SC2 refuses to emulate. I can respect that, it is following its own path. But it has lost a fan that I was, botching up the ****ing lore so much I cringe as if it was related to common media cesspool that many games are these days. Good luck to Kas in his future endeavours, and honestly, to all the previously retired players I never posted about. | ||
