Of course you can't satisfy every single person in a non-homogenous community, don't make out that it's due to individual fickleness though. | ||

I'd like to think people who are content about current balance tend not to talk about it very much, you can assume that anyone who just likes watching and talking about the game automatically approves about the current balance situation until they say otherwise. Complaints tend to ring louder then contented approval. | ||

They need some kinda of buff for late, game which requires less micro imo.Terran need a straight basic buff like damage or cost. terran needs a positional AOE (FUCKING SIEGE TANK GODDAMMIT) that makes you micro. Less amove, more micro. | ||

So i guess you have to look at the numbers of viewers (growth/ decline) together with the "loud" feedback. | ||

however, both of these proposed changes are atrocious. harrass harrass harrass-oriented buffs only, why? something like building / upgrade build time reduction or maybe a mech buff would be far more interesting | ||

You know what banelings and collosi do? | ||

Medivacs are NOT exciting. This does nothing to change playstyles, bring about new strategies, or address the problems where they lie (Zerg units being too good and Protoss being overly reliant on FF and MSC). It's also toxic to building the game - the justification that the overall skill level of the player base improved shouldn't be used to make something harder, and therefore lock out newer players who might want to learn but get frustrated by the steep learning curve. Widow Mines are also incredibly not exciting and this will end up being a repeat of the Hellbat drop days in TvP. Mines have a place but it is NOT in their current iteration and NOT as a "totally fuck zerglings and zealots" free-cast unit. | ||

So i guess you have to look at the numbers of viewers (growth/ decline) together with the "loud" feedback. I think when evolution of strategy declines so does viewership. People dislike seeing the same games played out over and over. Starcraft 2 had it's first big viewership hit late 2012 when this happened, when most tournaments were about fungal growths and broodlords making everything look fucking miserable and stupid (same with the Protoss sentry immortal or sentry colossus pushes). And this isn't really a balance concern in the sense that one or two races are winning too much, more in the sense that as a matchup develops the pool of available viable strategies tends to narrow and something new needs to be introduced, be it a neat new development in the matchup or a patch. | ||

If mech gets viable, surely a place/space of a PDD nerf/tweak might help a lot.. For example - make PDD cost 50 energy instead of 75, but instead of full block, PDD shots do a 75% per missile/projectile block.. Therefore say Stalkers and Locusts would still do 4 damage under PDD fire, instead of being fully blocked.. So yah - buff mech and address the issue that occurs rather than because of not working in a couple of situations put it on full ignore mode..  | ||

Well these suggestions really are bad. The medivac has already been given boosters and been tweaked since WoL. The widow mines have had their share of touching too. I think people would like to see changes on the raven and ghost that make them very usefully to have on the battlefield. It's been 4 years and the raven should feel like it is as cool as the science vessel but I rarely see it in mid to late game terran. Make the raven an integral unit and viewers will be rewarded. | ||
