I think it's too hasty to call for balance action. Though I am indeed already sick of disruptors wars, both to play AND to watch.

Translation: nothing else needs fixing with more priority than burrow/unburrow. Real translation: we are emphasizing this to try to create the impression that everything else is fine.

Do people get a kick out of saying these things? When Blizzard do or do not do something, do you feel like you accomplish something by making posts like this? I mean, the fact that they're putting bug fixed and minute changes on a test map might be questionable, but I don't really see how it indicates what you seem to think it does. Every time Blizzard rush a change, they get just as much shit and potentially much more far-reaching consequences. Should they discard all caution?

No I do not get a kick out of pointing out when corporations or companies do things for business reasons rather than for the reasons they should be doing them. I would rather see productive things happening that I would be enthused about. But when it happens, if nobody points it out then they will keep doing it because it would be working.

This smells like painting a smiley face on a pet project that looks helpful, which both management and the less savvy public are going to look on as progress without looking much further. Even the "Call to Action" language looks contrived to sound active and engaged and productive while neither doing nor accomplishing anything of consequence.

Enemy disruptorshots targeted on one of you units will cause all of your units to aggro at that disruptor, even when they are out of aggro range or unit sight range. This can lead to a point where your complete army automatically A-moves on a firing disruptor and thus, if you dont stop them, they can be easily picked off.


To the Showtime vs PartinG PvP meta:

I cant understand how you not loved it (as a viewer). It might be a pain in the ass to play but for me, as terran player, it was the best matchup to watch during the play-offs. Yes, one player can lose his army in a very small moment of miscontroll/nocontroll, the fights on the other hand have been very long, with constant aggro, there was no turtle, both players had to expand, both players traded over minutes small bits of their army, every shot could mean the end but still the fight went for minutes, much longer then Lazer Warz. Comparing it with swarmhost vs swarmhost is really a strong claim, as no player turtled up, both had to make moves and create space for expansion, both players constant danced around with their armys instead of rallypointing locust waves against each other. Every lost unit costs something and with the movement from Stalker-Disruptor to Stalker-Disruptor-Tempest the matchup develops after certain gametime.
Also not enough meta is discovered yet, maybe dont go tempest, but amass void-rays in the background, while holding ground with disruptor-stalker long enough? Mass Warp-Prism drop play? Everything seems to be possible while the main fighting is extremly tense with every shot could be the end.

For me, it was a really sick series and PvP showed to be a really cool matchup. Please no nerf to get Lazer-Warzs back and I am happy, that Blizzard just didnt started with a large balance test map with multi changes "from what we learned from dreamhack". It will take at least a single season of GSL/SSL or the first round robin phase of ProLeague to even find out, what has to be changed.
