Interesting to see the changes their working on, and their thoughts going forward. I disagree, they've posted a multiplayer balance before and I really like how they keep us posted. You're reading way to much into that blog of Destiny. There really is nothing new in there except for a ton of Reddit minions hyping it up because their lord and savior wrote it. | ||

Can't understand why. They always says that they want to create units that can be usefull during all game. Then they do Oracles that is only a cheese unit that does something in the late game only if it survives. Doesn't make senso for me. | ||

"Changes to the HERC: - No longer effective for cost" Made me giggle a little bit, but maybe it's because I'm an idiot. | ||

Select Herc - a - click is no longer effective, you need to make the Herc a cost effective unit by combining it with Siege, EMP, mines etcetera by microing it well. It essentially becomes a support unit, I suppose. | ||

I don't know what they are trying with the HERC, but I like that they are looking for feedback, this ability just looks weird. Also I what they are trying with the upgrades, they should be things that are part of the strategy, adding different tactics and timings, not just stuff that you need to get just because. Overall OK changes but is good that they are listening to feedback. | ||

Imagine a 360 surround of HERCs slowly pushing a zerg army towards the center of a falling nuke... | ||

It depends on if the visuals of mineral patches easily show its reserves. Aiming for the larger patches can hardly be said to require intelligence. Furthermore, there are some issues with adding entry barriers to the game. There is a complaint regarding mules that you're not punished significantly for missing your mule timings. This sort of change adds a skill component to mules, but it's not an interesting one, it's merely an obstacle for lower level players to overcome. This is similar to perception of macro generally, that it's difficult for casual players but merely a nuisance for pros. | ||

Guess maybe they had something else on mind. What are the main harrassers in Protoss? DT and Oracle, not counting Blink Stalkers. Both are kinda ("kinda") countered by same thing: turrent/spore. So, new harrass option that can't be shutdown by simply having detection in place? I'm just wondering here. | ||

Many of the things they are writing here seem to be way more in depth than what they presented at Blizzcon. Should have started with that, but still sounds nice. In particular I love the design/balance of the cyclone around the autocast and lowering siege range upgrade for lurkers. Also some of their general thoughts about upgrades are great! (like what they are saying about ultralisk armor. IIt is just a "1more click please" relation currently, so I like they are thinking about dropping such stuff.) | ||

If that's the case then I'll be happy to eat a large slice of humble pie! Not saying you're wrong etc. Maybe I'm just the worlds biggest cynic. EDIT: OOOH yes the map stuff. That's it! I'm still a cynic, it was done to deflect the article  | ||
