EPTRoaches + burrow seems to be very powerful if the opponent doesn`t have mobile detection: u can burrow them and let them regenerate and then unburrow and attack again.

People have a right to be skeptical / worried, though. Remember this is the same company that brought us the wonderful balance of Ret pallies on wotlk release after the entirety of the community told them how unbalanced they were for the whole duration of beta, and the balance of all of season 5 while people continuously pointed out the exact things that needed to change. Well...while it's a little besides the point, it's worth pointing out that balancing a MMORPG like WoW is a very, very different undertaking than balancing something like Starcraft 2. In WoW, you're dealing with 8 different unique classes with dozens of abilities and talents, each with three supposedly different talent trees with their own playstyles and sometimes even roles, each one of which has to be balanced against all other trees and classes not only in a raid situation for one of three roles (tanking, DPS, and Healing), but also in one of two types of PvP (Battlegrounds and Arenas). In addition, the necessary balance of such a game is constantly shifting with the addition of end-game content and expansions. And that's not to mention the loot, with the various stats and tier items that are constantly being added, and the balance of less-than-max level caps... But the point is, balancing something like WoW is quite a different (and, if not harder, at least rather larger) undertaking than balancing something like Starcraft 2-- so a lack of balance in WoW is not necessarily a great reason to be unduly worried about Starcraft 2 at this point. | ||

Force Fields are fantastic. Honestly, making a list of what's good is too long, there was really nothing to complain about! What a great BR! I agree absolutely. I cant wait to see the BETA vids, im really excited to play SC2. Its a real shame the pages 6-12 of this thread a lot of people made some unthinked statements. I really cant believe they are saying the game is bad, imba, as the BETA doesnt even stated. Some people like to be negative, see just the errors. They already said the BR is more a bonus made outside their normal agendas. Comparing it to the korean commentators is so exagerated. IMO (and their also) its just something to apreciated how the game is flowing, show it to the public. No need to be so serious. People dont even perceived they were making funny of "terrible terrible"joke. The complains of this are useless, as they will do it again on purpose (its just a preview replay). My god, ppl complained of the graphics, the balance, the units, the race mechanics, the UI, of everything. No wonder why they dont even hear so much part of the community. Doesnt matter what you do, ppl will find something to complain anyways. Just imagine if in 1997 they post the VOD of Bisu owning Savior 3-0 to make ad for SC1. People will say toss>imba everywhere, nerf DT-sair! So any Jangbi game vs Terran is psy storm>>imba. Judging balance on a mere 1 game is so crazy. WAIT for the beta, so after some changes you can come and complain more seriously. | ||

the main deal with balancing WoW though is you've got to balance it for PVP and PVE (two different games) not to mention the fact that the WoW team and Starcraft team are two completely different teams, but go ahead and stereotype | ||

The abilities between SC and SC2 were counted up, and it's about ~32 for SC2 and ~30 for SC. The difference is there's a lot more abilities worth using in SC2, so it seems like there's more. Think of restoration, blind, ghosts cloak, nuke, lockdown, yamato canno, hallucination, feedback, mindcontrol, maelstrom, parasite, ensare, broodlings etc. etc. and how often you see them in a professional game. Sure, sometimes, but quite rare. The abilities in SC2 are just easier to use and more worth it. Easier to use is probably the biggest factor though. | ||

Did you purposely mispell more(moar?) or something? That's not how it's spelled! It's spelled "more". If you use Firefox it comes with a built-in spell checker.  The more you know! | ||

That way a 100 suply player cannot be hold for much by a 40 supply one on a bridge. The manner forcefield on minerals would be weaker also. | ||
