BW balance:

The only difference is that SC2 balance issues are directly addressed by the balance team, for better or worse.

Right, and that's how it should be by now. We'd get a stable game and more interesting maps. The poorly kept secret is that Blizzard keeps rebalancing the game around their own map pools.

I'm kinda agnostic on the dropverlord change, but hearing toss players screaming about an "unscoutable tricky" all-in is delicious

I feel like the real issues in early Z all-ins is queens, either coming by drop or nydus. Queens are incredibly strong early game, with some transfuses they are the best early game units for price. It's balanced by being a very slow and defensive unit... until invincible nydus or un-killable transfused drop bring them to your base.

So if i were in charge of balance i would let the T1 drop but nerf the queens drop cargo and the invincible nydus. Invincible nydus leads to "incredible" play like at IEM, with the in-your-face beetween-your-gates play, witch has no counter-play at all (except blindly going for a counter BO, lol).
Every mechanism totally breaking defender advantage early-game should have clear weakness and counter-play, else it is logically OP.


The most incredible is how zergs players abuse so little of theses powerful earlygame plays. (on ladder and in pro games). When T/P have early-game OP shit, they abuse it so much and so good in no time .... so it get nerfed fast.

So did i understand right, they are keeping the Droperlord nerf, while they leave AA missile as it is ? How is that fair for zergs?

Ok how about this:
- leave drops as they are but
- increase queen cargo size to 2 max for 1 dropalord.
- remove Nydus invincibility but increase its armour to 3 (to prevent pure worker kills)
- reduce hallucinations cost to 75 to allow faster scouts for protoss. That would diversify protoss openings.

Look how Zergs are performing currently and how terrans are performing, then you will understand

Zerg logic: Win 7 tournaments in a row. No Terran in the finals for any of them. Balance is fine. Terran deserves nerfs but Zerg doesn't.

Terran whine is too sour even for the dev team to stomach...

A bit pathetic.

It's pretty sure that the nerf will come a bit later though, since it's just bad design and as they emphasized AGAIN it's supposed to be a fricking SUPPORT not mass damage dealer.

But okay let's appease the vulgar terran crybaby masses...

the hilarious thing is that 95% of those who cried about the announced mass-raven lategame nerf dont actually play that style, cuz it s too hard to take that many bases and tech up that much.

To add more highly unscientific numbers, 90% of forum dwellers are unaffected by balance decisions and they aren't targeted by balance decisions. But many people are viewers as well and mass Raven bullshit is unwatcherablererererer than BL/Infestor. Even if it doesn't affect you as a player, viewing 'unbalanced' is a possibly even bigger turn-off.
