Hence why I doubt that the benefits of balancing by Pros would be better than any other realistic method one can think of. Anyway, bit of a moot discussion, lol. I doubt Kabel and Co are going to giving up the reigns anytime soon.  Edit/ And, as Grumbels shows below, the skill level is not static and never will be. | ||

Say it lasted 8 seconds, didn't slow, was single target, had 7 range, and cost 75 energy. I think the shorter range and the ability for your opponent to disengage after getting hit would make it less spammable while still being useful. I also think it would allow bio to be more viable mid game against small numbers of counter units without really affecting mech play much. Due to mech's lower mobility, the ability for an opponent to disengage would be more limiting. | ||

Second, different pros might not agree which could lead to a deadlock. I don't think there is a 100% sure way to secure design and balance. But, I think leaving it up to Pros is one of the worse ways. To support this, if you let pro players balance the game they might make balance changes based on their current level of play, which is often terrible if compared to that of top players a year from now. Take this video as an example and imagine how awful it would be to balance the game around this. + Show Spoiler + | ||

He should watch some Flash replays from bw :3 He's definitely lackin game understading. He has no idea about what to do against reaver. In my opinion, he should've gone 2 vulture+cc+spider mine+tank and siege upgrade. Put two turrets around mineral line, put 4 mine plus your second tank in your base so that reaver can't harras easily. | ||

Mines also won't do much against Reaver drops since they work differently in Starbow and you can evade them easily with Warp Prism. :/ | ||
