EPTI find it funny how people cry imba when they haven't played. Wait for beta, then we'll see what's imba.

I didn't have any problem with blink, and don't see it needing an increase in cooldown or have an energy expenditure (not everything needs to use energy, folks, this isn't SC1.5, it's a new game). The stalkers aren't very strong or powerful units and the blink dancing is an interesting micro mechanic for both retreating and pursuit. That being said, there have been a few people with unreasonable posts. Those saying that Blizzard won't be able to get the game balanced because of what we've seen thus far. The game's still probably six months away - that's plenty of time to get the game balanced enough. We probably won't see current SC balance for a while after release (but probably much sooner than with their previous games, you learn from your mistakes). People have to keep in mind that a vast majority of the people playing the game will not be even close to D level players - the type of play the pros do is a completely different game than what they're used to (and what I was used to only a few months ago). The Battle Reports are more for them than for us (you just have to check a mainstream game site for comments on this most recent leak they all talk about how they'd be destroyed by either player and can't imagine a game being so fast and complex). | ||

Just /facepalm... Nothing like making completely outrageous conclusions on a game you've never played and have only seen these units in action once. Now have you ever though that zerg and protoss may actually need those abilities at the appropriate times instead of just coming to these stupid conclusions. And just to show you how bad this is I could make the same conclusion about spider mines, a single vulture worth of spider mines can take out 40 food supply instantly, now that's clearly overpowered.... | ||

The zerg player did some kind of 3 hatchery build and then attempted to rush in with 8 zerglings, even after waiting, on a map where he had to run 150% of the length to get to his opponent. Anyway, I think if he went with a 9 pool equivalent and made the zerglings to show up even 15 seconds earlier he would of gotten through. Also the mind control time is mad short, you will notice that he had 4 infestors and used mind control 2 at a time so he could use it again right after it was done. Now this made it last for most of the battle, but these were also small army battles. | ||

You are terrible terrible wrong on that. Seriously you dont know what you are talking about. This "its obvious imbalance - on paper alone" is hilarious. Man, i refuse to accept you made this statement. You dont know nothing about making an RTS, and think you know more than Blizz. You must think EA is making the game. | ||

That's a good point, the parasite probably wouldn't be such a game changer in a mass battle unless the player was careless with high tier units.

Not to mention you need more than a core to not only build templars but also research psi storm and wait for energy and they can't attack and yada yada yada. | ||
