And it is indeed, but for that the game needs to be at least in a decent state. There were opportunities like this earlier in HotS but Blizzard kept randomly patching.

Careful folks, we have a badass amongst us.

Relating back to thread, just watched Bbyongb vs Dark on Waystation, my first experience of that map. Another map that is IMO far, far too big. Can we have less sillily large maps and perhaps we'll see a difference

I've written fucking essays on the map topic, suffice to say Sc2 map making is beyond fucked. So many crippling restrictions, and more being added constantly because it's easier to blame maps than actually fixing broken shit in the game(blink all ins come to mind). The only thing that isn't broken is to just make huge maps so players are almost forced to macro at least for a while.

Making good maps for this game is a labour worthy of Hercules, and I'm not sure I wouldn't rather take on a Hydra.

I think the large map actually helped bbyong in that game. There was a moment where bbyong looked away from his army to run his scvs away from banelings in the third base and lost it. If the map was smaller he would have lost right there.

If it was smaller Dark couldn't get away taking that much funding from his main army at the first place.

That was a 1/1 poke being shut down WHILE 10 banelings killed a third mineral line. On decent maps (where Terran was nerfed/balanced for) that poke is like, not going to be killed when you miss that much from your army.

aha PvT is imba cause P is OP
TvZ is imba because Z is OP

So nothing new here, but it takes too long for you blizzard to make changes, but it is nice to see that it is not only the communitys opinion, but also blizzard recognized it.

a bit too late, another PvZ, ZvZ, PvP code S ahead. That sucks.

Still, if Blizzard releases the patch before another Ts play in Code S, it will be so unfair for Bbyong.

will be a while that way, since you don't get the already qualified ones out of the system that fast. Also showing how long this imbalance has been there.

interesting, that the "pro players" are complaining about how stront T is in TvP (crying in the Rain). Maybe there are patchzergs and patchprotosses and ofc patchterrans.
Speaking of the last ones: Where is my bunker build time change?

I diidn't look at the nr of viewers for Code S today, but wonder if there is a difference between the group with T and without them.

You don't have to wonder about that, it's clear that tons of viewers don't tune in for PvPvZvPvZvZ

25 minerals will definitely change the entire meta. HAHAHAHA! With 25 minerals you can build half of a marine. Zergs are doomed. Just wait!

Can someone explain me why they expect 150/150 "bonus" money for terran to actually help them? It seems random and almost unsignificant from a watcher perspective.

Removing upgrades seems to be their new thing lol

Personally I'd like to see creep maybe looked at come to think of it, at least recession speed. It's clear that creep spread is far far better on average than it used to be and makes a huge difference especially on large maps vT

Because they are afraid to do real changes since it could hurt the careers of professional zerg and protoss players obviously.

From a money standpoint there is no need to make the game balanced or better, we are going to buy the next expansion anyway. I hope it doesnt get as bad as the end of WoL.

I'll not buy it at this rate, know many of my friends who quit playing and say the same, even good players. For the most part Terrans sick of how hard they feel they have to work, but don't want to race switch.

Then again there will also be drop offs just because of oversaturation/being bored of the game and wanting to do other things.

And that is why I would like to see most changes reverted so we actually have that chance again. Generally speaking, there are two approaches to balancing: Acting immediately as an issue occurs and waiting as long as you can to ensure that the issue cannot be fixed by progamers. Sadly, Blizzard takes a wierd middle road where they often act as progamers are starting to resolve the issues.
