That needed to be in the game. they have a process. stuff gets pulled all the time when it fails a stage in their process. language like "went back on" steers it towards the narrative of some kind of dishonesty. that's a false narrative. | ||

I would have to say that if the Protoss is at a point where he can start cranking out 10 + Templars with his ultimate doom army then the Zerg is in trouble or needs to take very careful engagements. Zerg is supposed to win or take a big lead in the mid game to win, where as Protoss needs to do damage to the Zerg early game or macro/defend in the mid game to secure their well known late game advantage. I don't think Starcraft will ever get a point where every race is perfectly balanced at every stage of the game. Same goes for Terran, they know they need to do damage early game mid game or open up very greedy and play a skin to the teeth defense if they are going to not challenge the Zerg economy, because Terran has a very powerful mid game but starts to fall off against Zerg late game. i dont think zvp is as asymmetrical as tvp, except that terrans have been playing the matchup in this light for so long remember that vikings dont really kill buildings, liberators cant even shoot buildings, ghost tickle buildings as well. so if you do manage to win a fight with higher tech vs higher tech, you cant necessarily capitalize on it. if you win a massive fight in zvp, corruptors can kill bases quickly now so most of your army is useful. i cant tell yolu how many times i have won a massive fight in TvP, only to try and kill economy with the clunkiest, most garbage late game army in the game, end up doing no damage and just have to shamefully walk away while i wait for more units taht can actually kill something besides the units they were designed to kill (marine marauder can kill buildings, nothing else can) it really feel like they only think about these units in a head to head maxed vs max fight and they dont even think abt what happens after, or the rising action. like it is so irritating to attack into a player massing carriers, its actually enough to tilt me as zerg. tvp is just a fuckin nightmare where you get pylon rushed+ proxy oracled every game, are forced to defend all game and then finally have a chance to do damage only to have that damage offset by triple chrono, MSC and the shitty defensive style protoss has forced u into | ||

Therefore, i suspect Blizzard will not address your concern. | ||

But they go back and forth on things all the time and have been for 2years now? Its as if the system #1. It comes first. Because they trust the system or because the lead designer or w.e its called has no plan i dont know but its like they are implementing random stuff from the community and than switching back and forth if they want that change or not. So here we are, without much change after all after 2years(since the time they started to I dont play dow3. Best method in the rts genre is to stay the heck away from them. | ||
