You can not really demand a balance patch as well. That would require overtime and I do not think Bobby Kotick can afford to pay him extra for that. | ||

Certain matchups may need some small tweaks to keep the game fun. All blizzard said was that they wouldn't do a new patch before Katowice 2021. Now, all we can do is guess as to whether there will come another patch and whether they will change the ladder maps. | ||

Realistically, what's going to happen is they may outsource map making to ESL/TLMC eventually, and they'll just keep the servers online and call it a day. We're definitely not seeing a new balance patch imo. PvZ especially may be as boring as ever but honestly it's impossible to make that matchup interesting without a major redesign of both P and Z, and that will never happen. | ||

I can find flaws in every matchup as nothing is ever perfect. Would be great to have some small changes just to spice things up a bit, since the meta seems so figured out that recent games are just very predictable, which imo is less fun for spectators. | ||

1) they could also think to make map with long distance mining, it could be fun but Zerg favored... 2) also units hidden in bushes could provides bonus against range attacks 3) avoid multi cast with rapid-fire (add cooldown) That s a ton of funny work  | ||

Nowadays I pretty much just support the post-industrial Detroit that is the Broodwar scene. At least they still get new maps in the map pool each season. | ||

Vicarious Visions is potentially allegedly involved based on that article, but it's mostly just speculation--we don't actually know who if anyone handles SCII. | ||

If they had stopped balancing anytime before this we would be stuck in a never ending Zerg nightmare. Yeah because nowadays Zergs are not winning the majority of tournaments. It's just coincidence that so many good players are zergs  I mean c'mon, zergs are world champions for such a short time now. | ||
