Its sad cuz diamond kids are the most tryhard, and possibly the most vocal about their silly ideas  .
|
Balance changes aren't done by one person
Nor are they changed or made based PURELY on your rank.
Please stop sounding so ignorant.
|
Taking advice from people in diamond about balance is stupid though
|
You're pretty funny dude. Maybe you should try reddit?

No need to be sarcastic-- we should be encouraged that Blizz is hiring a balance team; they clearly care about balancing the game. Choosing a Random player makes a lot of sense, imo, and sure, diamond league is a bit of a low bar, but it's a start, isn't it?
|
They would have said masters, but they didn't think it was necessary for the balance team to make 200 changes per minute.
edit: Hey, I'm a diamond level random player... maybe I should apply!
|
There are hundreds of pro gamers that have a incredible understand of the game and its balancing, might be a better idea to turn to some of them rather than a random diamond. Well you would logically think so...
|
Do you know what an assistant is? Sounds like you don't.
|
Wooow. This thread just got shot. down.
OP was all expecting TL to be like "trolol diamond players suxxorz" but no. Shot. Down.
way to go tl

To be honest, looking aside from the diamond requirement, everything else makes sense as a whole.
I honestly doubt this will change sc2 balance too to much, it's not like you get to random to diamond for a season and then they allow you to balance the game as the OP makes it sound like
|
Nah I agree with this OP completely, sounds like we have some diamond and under players weighing in here with some bias because it's obviously pretty unreasonable (to anyone who knows how bad / clueless NA diamond is because they're a significant ways ahead of that and have themselves once been there) to have this as the qualifying s tandard for a position. So what if they aren't the only and final choice weighing in on something? They're simply unqualified because they actually don't understand the game.

its diamond or higher you illegitimate idiots

apparently it doesnt require master or grandmaster level to go to starbucks to pick up coffee. its an assistant level position for only four-six months. you honestly think this person will be making real decisions? come on now.... common sense...

Hey is it a legit job? Like, I could get paid for it? Even small amounts?
|
There is no 100% random player in Master/GM, no ?
