The community council is not made up by average joes who don t know anything about the game that they are playing (or in many cases) mostly watch | ||

The Community Council involves current SC2 pros, former SC2 pros & selected SC2 streamers. I don't know if anyone outside of those circles that is involved with game balance & patches. | ||

Think of football coaches, some are not/were not player themselvs. | ||

Well it seems pretty clear to me they are doing a very bad job with Protoss... and i even play Zerg, but current representation of Protoss on top level pro play demands buffs asap | ||

I respect their privacy. Hopefully, so will everyone else.

Diverse Race games are never 100% balanced and intricate balance also depends on maps. Over the last 15 years I've played many competitive games. Including C&C3, RA3, CoH, Brood War, SC2, Chess, EA NHL '94 Hockey, Super Tecmo Bowl. None of these games, including Chess, is perfectly balanced. When playing a competitive game where the infrastructure is running on $0 ... adjust your expectations accordingly. So for games like EA NHL '94, SC2, Super Tecmo Bowl, and Fire Pro Wrestling I get great competitive experiences in a somewhat imbalanced environment. These game are so old... considering what little money I've spent on all these games... I'm getting a great deal. If you don't like the deal... dude.. the game is 14 years old. Move on. There are a bazillion other really fun multiplayer games to play out there. | ||

Listen man, the game's designers used to have massive corporate resources behind them; if any one talked the way Idra or Avilo did about David Kim then the massive corp can crush them on many levels. That is no longer the case. The game's balance people are no longer protected. I respect their privacy. Hopefully, so will everyone else. I did not consider this, i just want to pass feedback, they clearly are doing a poor job at balancing Protoss. Its dissapeared from pro play basically. So they may need some help | ||

 That should be a good indicator of what to expect from the SC2 competitive experience. Relax and have fun. | ||

Those are your only realistic options at this point. | ||

And the fact that there aint money available, doesnt mean that the game should not continue to get balanced. Relatively speaking, the money has disappeared from SC2 pro play. The problem is there are many other games offering far more money. This is why we don't have millions of teenagers devoting their lives to reaching the peak of SC2 pay... no money. And its not just the prize money... its infrastructure money nad resources. Its gone.

It could be worse. Without the ESL StarCraft 2 could be in the same situation as Heroes of the Storm. | ||

That being said, the prolonged hesitation to actually buff Protoss meaningfully is a mystery that I just can't wrap my head around. You damn well know players like Harstem and Rotterdamn are on the Balance Council, so it's just very bizarre to me that buffs weren't/aren't being pursued more aggressively. ZvP seems mostly fine, but PvT is still an absolute mess for Protoss. | ||

Its dissapeared from pro play basically. It's just that the top-8 are Terran and Zerg dominated, but everything below the very top is Protoss dominated. Do you want Ro32 to have 20 Protoss players when it's already often 14-16? | ||
