The problem is that I don't know how to solve the early game zerg shenanigans now that they don't want to nerf the ravager, and then nerfs regarding the immortal or the adept would not seem fair. 10 seconds off warpgate (OR chrono buff which does the same thing), overlord speed to lair, sane maps. Done. | ||

Got a spore? He just re-position. Crazy how one unit can have this impact. Other harass units are way easier to deal with. Of course I am just NA diamond but I can confirm that for me personally this is the most frustrating unit to play against. At least if they nerf the AA I will be able to deal with them a lot easier with Corruptors. But this does not affect their strength early game. They are still way too good. They are way easier to use compared to how difficult it is to deal with them. | ||

Also, speedbanshees are not fun. They might be fun to use because with the upgrade they are the fastest unit on the field and you can harass with them endlessly, but for anyone playing against them, it makes you wanna uninstall the game, no matter what race you are. So why make them easier to acces? | ||

Nerf Liberator anti air so Mutalisks can be useful again Buff Infestor and Ghost/Ravens so they are as strong as Templars Remove Nydus Worm from game Remove tankivac and buff tanks so they hold ground as is their intended purpose Remove Thors/Colossus from the game Buff Cyclones to be factory primary anti air response Until these happen, this game is not going to be what it can potentially be, zero idea why they aren't at least experimenting with some of these changes, especially the tankivac changes. These balance updates are becoming progressively less worthwhile to even bother keeping up with. Seems like a buch of PR. | ||

Add racial win rates, viewer numbers, statements regarding team size and nebulous references to 'Korean Pro feedback'. Working as intended? | ||

The proposed Blizz change increases the hardcounter system of corruptors > libs > mutas. Keeping the current damage but decreasing the aoe makes the lib less of a hardcounter to mutas but still keeps them somewhat relevant against corruptors (instead of basically useless). As for the underused units, I would rather if they focus on the cyclone and/or BC rather than the swarmhost. The SH has actual uses against terran mech already (just saw them do serious work in a foreigner pro game yesterday). My initial ideas for the cyclone would be one of these: +10hp and -1 supply; flat +20hp; or a cost reduction of -25/-25. For the BC I would make their damage pierce the armor of the enemy unit, as in always deal full damage no matter what their amor is (like spells). Maybe also increase the movement speed a little. The Thor could also use some faster speed movement. And since I'm in my wishlist mode already, why not add an upgrade at robotics bay that decreases the cooldown of the disruptor's purification nova? (by like 10 seconds, nothing too big  ) | ||

- DK and his team are still considering the game to be more or less finished and are most probably not gonna fix bad design areas, just tweak numbers. Simply put, instead of changing badly designed stuff (parasitic bomb, disruptors, cyclones, for instance), they're gonna tweak numbers to reach 50 % win ratio in all matchups - DK and his still are still expecting the community to do their jobs. We can see that at "Please try to arrange equally-skilled matchups before giving feedback so that the feedback can be of a much higher quality." : this is not how you integrate community feedback to your patches/updates/changes to the game. Expecting people to test changes that are unwanted/only numbers instead of design/not a product of the community's voice, is trying to have the community enforce your decisions, instead of integrating community feedback. For instance, doing some POLLS about what people want and then create a specific unranked ladder for it (why not make the unranked ladder the balance map ladder) in the game would be much more constructive => BUT agreeing to do design changes to the game. LOTV is hemoraging players. People are widely frustrated when playing the game, and their voice isn't heard since blizz/DK considers the game is in a good place design-wise. DO DESIGN CHANGES FROM COMMUNITY POLLS. | ||

Every TvZ will be a timebomb. TvP already is, since Tempest+Storm is basically autowin. | ||

I would not increase their dps, still less overkill would maybe be a good idea to maintain balance. The problem is that I don't know how to solve the early game zerg shenanigans now that they don't want to nerf the ravager, and then nerfs regarding the immortal or the adept would not seem fair. There you are, corrected them for you | ||

You should understand that community polls are usually skewed. For example, when there is a controversial article on a site with rating system, it may itself have huge differential in favour of upvotes but the most upvoted comments would be negative. Frustrated people are more likely to do something (like vote in community polls) than content one. | ||

You log into the game, and you have an option to vote with your account. This way, pretty much every single player will eventually vote, while pro feedback can be harvested through other ways. Of course a TL or Bnet forums poll is biais, so the best way to avoid it is to make sure that players logging regurarly in the game pretty much all vote. | ||
