I don't think there needs to be a balance patch as in balance is bad, it's more ZvP meta then anything that's the issue right now. I know PvT has some stupid stuff going on as well with proxy nonsense. T V Z is about 53-54% win rate last 12 months in pro level and top T V Z only Clem and Maru,but zerg have Serral,Reynor,Dark and Rogue which tick them out T V Z win rate will be higher than 54% ,YES it is balanced for terran players and for zerg players obviously windom mine is very unbalanced unit but terran players never take notice because T V Z require skills doesnt means it is balanced And Byun's flying tank is unbalanced but only him can use it perfectly with his style of play that time which got fixed http://aligulac.com/periods/latest/ | ||

TvZ - just change the map pool and its fine (this map pool is very terran favored) TvP, PvZ - batteries should cost 25+ minerals, Battery Overcharge should last only 5 seconds (14 its too much) and raven should be able to disable batteries ZvP - give the disruptor a second mode, where his shots have extra range but only damages units that are underground | ||

I also recently ranked up on eu from having no games on the server at all levels of play I never waited more than 1 minute. Even at wired times like 3 am in Central Europe I still had no problems finding games. This game may have problems but it’s still fun and has a large enough playerbase to keep it alive. | ||

source I do not think SC2 is going anywhere. Maybe some future RTS masterpiece will replace it but that is at least 4+ years from now. | ||

It means you won't be able to see what your teammates or opponents type and they won't see what you type. You can still see each other's pings though. Ooh, gonna parent myself, yiss. Will give it a try, it's a more overdo but should work. | ||

At this point, I don't think that Blizzard, left alone, can come up with a good patch. Their "autocratic with best intentions" patch management model requires a knowledge I doubt they have right now. We'd need to move to a democracy - i.e. the community will have to agree on a certain set of changes to be tested. This task seems too complex for direct democracy to work - the likes of polls open to the whole community are too confusing  But it may be possible to solve it by indirect democracy: the community could agree on a "House of Balance". It could be composed, for example, by one member of every race voted by the whole community, one member of every race voted by the players, two members named by ESL, two members named by Blizzard, one member voted by SC2 teams and one member voted by the map making community. Of course, all of them should be volunteers. I think this House of Balance would be more successful than any other alternative, because it would include many points of view. | ||

Brilliant idea honestly, I'd like if there could also be a high level random player as well. Not that any of this will happen but yea I agree with your first point, Blizzard doesn't even have anyone with the necessary metagame knowledge to do even the simplest of patches at this point. | ||

And as a viewer of SCII I'm no longer interested in the "epic" 20+ minute long PvZ games with skytoss and spores. I turn of the stream off or skip ahead on youtube when those games are on. They are just as boring as Raven vs. Swarm Host back in HotS. | ||

I don't really care how balanced it is, playing against mass void rays because Protoss can't go ground due to Lurkers was absolute shit to play against. What you just said here I can use as a perfect example of how bad peoples logic is in this game, Blizzard would probably nerf the void ray without compensating ground because they would actually think protoss goes void ray because its OP not because its their only option | ||

I said the current gameplay mechanics suck, balance aside. Also stated Protoss can't go ground due to Lurkers, which you then reiterate, so they go air. How does this highlight how bad people's logic is in this game? | ||

Yea I too was a bit lost reading that lol I've said it before and I'll say it again, either reduce Lurker health so that tanks and storm can efficiently fight them or remove Adaptive Talons entirely. The range upgrade is more of a need then something broken, without it tanks would hard counter entirely. AT however is broken, it removes a key weakness that is central to the Lurkers design philosophy. | ||

Obviously that's a pipe dream and will never happen with Blizzard at the helm. I think the only way SC2 can get any support at all is if someone else buys it. Activision does not care about Starcraft. It doesn't make them money, to Activision, Starcraft doesn't exist. | ||
