Seems very reasonable suggestion.

After all, the last thing to do would be complete overhaul by nerfing everything between an earth and sky same time. Its pretty much impossible to detect an impact of each change if there are multitude of them in same patch, and complex dependancies between each unit(s) can cause effects that were both unforeseen, but also counter-productive to the very reasons why changes were made in a first place.

These days it seems that practically everything with Zerg is OP according a discussions all around, and its hard to find an unit of zerg that isn't already suggested to get nerfed as soon as possible. Logic of the game itself dictates that all demands cannot be rationally justified, nor that they would actually improve the balance if becoming the reality. There is imminent and obvious risk for a child to get jettisoned with his washing water all the same if even half of all of those marvellous nerf-zerg ideas are included to the next balance patch.

Top zergs should send their written and well thought interpretations over the issue to Blizzard's balance team (or is it just one person during this golden renaissance of the game?) for preventing the destructive scenario of over-nerfing.

Yes, I was against nerfing the warp prism and reducing cost of overlord speed in the same patch for that reason. They’re both largely targeted at Immortal timings/Protoss shenanigans

Maybe the meta/knowledge, which was shifting anyway would have been enough to redress issues. Maybe either of those changes singularly would have made a nice balance.

Instead we had two changes on top of an already shifting meta.

Perhaps users or the balance team wouldn’t like if it singular changes to single units and costs were implemented more frequently, which is why patches tend to include a fair few changes at once.

Still always feels there’s so much change at once it’s hard to calculate what will do what, and even after the fact what changes are impactful in the desired way, what ones aren’t and what ones create further problems

Broodlords don't need to be changed. It's literally been this way for 9 years. The infestor and the nydus worm are the two keys that need to be looked at. This thread is also pretty funny after watching Rogue get bopped by Stats. Adds some flair to the discussion.

I'm afraid in this state of Blizzard they won't even aknowledge this .

Considering Blizzcon being soon people are asking for easy changes to be implemented so the balance is better. It's not like this was said by 1 random Zerg...

i like the supply change idea but i would also compensate it by adding some hp or +1 armor. so it's not an all-or-nothing glass cannon spell caster but more of a robust support that has powerful spells but they must be used judiciously.

this would be a very big change, though. a slight nerf but more of a design change because the way infestors interact with other units is very clearly flawed and this has been an issue since the game was in beta.

Rogue pulled an Innovation and burned out after his victory. That said, Stats did play very well.

Fair enough. Guess I just thought an American gaming forum of all places would be at least as liberal as the CPC when it comes to what speech is or is not allowed.

Sure it’s pretty stringent, it’s also way more tolerable than reddit or the Blizz forums IMO precisely because the moderation is pretty tough compared to other places

Youtube comments aren't stringent. Do you want TL to become Youtube comments? Honestly this is one of the few remaining places on the internet where people at least pretends to be civilised to each other, and we only have the stringent rules and the hard work put in by the mod staff to thank for it.

I think Lowko had an interesting idea to let void rays become useful again by re implementing the movement speed upgrade Protoss used to have. Voidray's aren't strong enough to just 1A against Corrupters, neither perhaps should they be, but if they're fast enough they can abuse the slow movement speed of Broodlords to dance around them and get picks wherever possible. It also doesn't make the matchup necessarily any easier, but allows for higher skill ceiling (As opposed to just buffing Carriers or something until Protoss lategame becomes unbreakable again)


Just caught the patch notes and..I mean.."told"? But honestly the changes are so dramatic across the board that I don't even know if this will have the intended consequence any more. But it at the very least makes for a much smoother transition to skytoss.

The ban is ridiculous. I don't care how stringent rules have made the forums a better place. The point is not that rules are necessary in general. That's obviously true. The point is the rules are failing specifically in this case -- it is not good enough, and moderators need to take feedback seriously to improve it. That said, I know it's not easy.

TL mods are morons, I said this years ago. The logic back then was that there was an influx of new players, and they needed discipline, so mods were swift with the ban hammer.

The truth is, the mods suck at the game, are angry skinnyfat nerds, so they pretend to be e-rambos. Lots of hidden anger.

Sc is dying, TL is dying. Keep banning solid posters, you fucking morons lmao. You are the direct cause of this, as TL was the main gateway. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Perma ban me and nuke my post, IDC. You're a coward, and I'm right. I get the last word in anyways, I don't plan on coming back to this shit hole.

Naz is such a complacent fool to give the keys to his site to angry retards with literally 0 emotional intelligence.
