Yes, it is unreasonable to say that the game should be balanced around a weekly cup where a majority of the top players from each race do not participate. It's hardly a weekly cup at this point, though. It's pretty much all of them as far as I can tell. It doesn't really speak to their quality that only one race effectively participates. | ||

Balance issues will be sorted out but it really seems to promote fun gameplay from all races A more ambitious (and possibly imba) patch early in the off-season is a good idea in theory, but I'm worried the intern could leave Blizzard for good at any moment. TvP wise, I think the significance of the ghost change for late game is underappreciated, Terran will have more supply to work with when maxed. The bigger question is if the energy recharge nerfs are enough for Terran to reach late game with a half-healthy base count... | ||

Did it ever occur to anyone that Protoss just dominates online cups because the better players choose Protoss? People are terrible. | ||

There has literally never been a point in SC2 history that Terran players were not whining about something. There are some legitimate complaints if you think that balance matters at every level and that some really basic things shouldn't take very little skill to execute but extreme levels of skill to counter (e.g. banelings vs. countering them), but most people don't agree with that while still whining about balance that isn't actually broken at the top level. | ||

Storm went from major nerfed to buffed? Interesting choice to be sure. Obviously everything else still sucks for toss, so probably a wash overall or slight nerf. | ||

Obviously everything else still sucks for toss, so probably a wash overall or slight nerf. yeah the distruptor buff is clearly sucking.. Im not sure what terran should do now. Storm is more viable than ever before, and we cant do anything about it. Should at least revert the EMP radius, so protoss have to split templars, or will the f2 armada of players whine about that? | ||

Interesting times. Zerg is likely the major winner of this patch. Storm went from major nerfed to buffed? Interesting choice to be sure. Obviously everything else still sucks for toss, so probably a wash overall or slight nerf. I mean Zerg should be the winner of this patch. They've been in the worst position representation-wise in tournaments, and statistically the most imba matchup this last patch by far (at both GM and pro level) has been TvZ. PvZ hasn't been as imba, but has still favored Protoss. Kinda funny how the story of the last patch has been Terrans complaining, huh? | ||

From watching the tournos played today, it does seem that there was a Protoss bump post-patch, but also that it mostly just came from Ts and Zs not understanding or being familiar with the new Storm: i.e. I've seen numerous players just standing in Storms bc of the radius and also run into Storms right when the storms would have stopped pre-patch (and also numerous Protoss running into their own storms). Over the course of the day, though, the Terran players I've been watching seem to have learned that speed banshees and tank pushes are really strong post-patch TvP with the energy nerf. So it really is "too early to tell," I think. | ||

Can you plz add a mule QoL change as follows: * Whenever the mule timer expires with the mule holding minerals, the mule would get to live for as long as it is holding the minerals, but no longer than 2 seconds. This would allow the mules to complete the last trip to the command center, and break down right after dropping the minerals. Thank you | ||

Thanks for pointing that out. Yup the community has zero for sympathy towards terran since they have been crying and whining for 15 years strong now. Until they stop crying then we might “listen” to their idea of balance. Cause these were the same guys who thought the OG widow mine was balance lol and literally tell Zerg and toss pros to git gud | ||
