EPTAlso dont mention David Kim, it was the best day of sc2 when he left. Never ending locust waves, droppable siege tanks, kill everything with adepts, unholdable reaper rushes etc etc ... Also "lets wait and see" when something was completely broken, he also lied when he said he talked with korean pros. He made a ton of random changes too ...

For the longest time the old balance team's only guiding principle seemed to be "make the smallest possible numerical adjustment to even out winrates". The new team has been great about focusing on the actual design of game (does this change promote interesting gameplay) rather than balance minutiae. They've also been way more communicative and transparent about their reasoning than the old team ever was. "Way more communicative and transparent" yeah lol - all they do is suggesting random changes and implement the least complained about ones. they have no vision at all for the game unlike David Kim. | ||

I agree with the goals but keep calm and try the incremental approach. | ||

Immortals were everywhere, Tempests too effective, Thor almost always overlooked, Cyclones very annoying. Battlecruisers were coming online too early but they weren't too effective, this delay might render BC opening not viable ; Ultras on the other hand were not performing well but now they will steamroll Bio, they shouldn't be able to outpace stim. As for TvP, the point is that while it's true and undeniable that Protoss has the advantage later in the game, recently Terran midgame pushes were too strong(at least if we take a look at IEM qualifiers); they tried to limit that, but they didn't address the lategame appropriately. Moreover, this patch feels a little rushed as no real relevant event was played in the current one(HSC was played too early to understand anything balance wise). | ||

Swarmhosts have only brought problems to the game (for obvious reasons) since it got introduced back in hots and all those redesign attempts just didn't fix it. The core issues remain and it just hurts as a hardcore starcraft fan and player and very passionate RTS player that a unit like that still remains in such a such a beautfiful game like starcraft 2 after all this time. Im sure that swarmhosts could be replaced with a much more interesting unit for zerg. | ||

We’d like to address this by adding a slight delay to how long it takes an Adept to show up at an enemy base. I'm glad to hear Blizzard is making balance tweaks revolving around the top level of the game. Its nice that Blizzard still has a team actively watching and analyzing RTS games several years after that game's big revenue intake has ended. Maybe things ain't at the absolute greatest levels at Blizzard but the sky ain't fallin' either. | ||
