i bet theyre making good money off of rich/dumb people

Q. What kind of things do you take in consideration for balancing?

 

A. We take teamplay seriously as well as 1v1. Recent 1.1.2 patch changed Reapers. While Reapers had no problem in 1:1, if you look at the top of the 2:2 team ranks, almost half of them are Terran+Zerg, and they all use Reaperling. This problem is same in NA as well as in Korea. This means that you can't succeed all that well in teamplay unless you play a Terran+Zerg combination, so we try to fix it if the problem is as big as that. If not, then we try to balance around 1:1.

 

Also, forward proxy gate Zealot rush was popular for a bit after release. This didn't get much use among the top players, but it was near impossible to stop at silver-level play. So we pondered how to fix this balance issue without affecting top players, and in the end, we decided to increase the time required to build Zealots to get it balanced.

 

fucking blizz

 

theyre basically balancing the game for lower-level players and team play rather tahn 1v1s

Fake Boxer vs KyrixZenith:

 

This is the first time I've felt as if I was watching a seasoned proleague match from Brood War. First of all, the marine micro-- out of this world. Second, a couple of those games were truly like Brood War. Even though SC2 gets off to a much faster start than Brood War, and your supply tends to jump higher earlier in the game, a select few of those games demonstrated Brood War-esque dynamism and tension within the game. The supply of both players never really jumped over 100, even when 20 minutes into the game. It makes me feel so good that we get to start seeing matches like this, only a couple months into SC2, something that Starcraft1 could never have done. Hell, Brood war would have still been a good 6 months away.

Oh man those games were soooo dope. There was so much aggression from both sides.

[Bakuhatsu Pengin]

where do i find these games for free

[█␢█]

I found them on Youtube searching "Boxer Kyrix". But I'm still going to buy the post-season ticket and watch them over Thanksgiving break! GSL2 is so boss.

[Pendragon]

Sorry for being a slowpoke about it, but I agree heartily. I never thought I'd see Foxer's Marine micro that could outsmart those banelings. How much APM did he have? 400-500? And I'll be damned if he wasn't using control groups either.

 

After that match, people were crying soooo hard that Marines were imbalanced. It was funny and sad at the same time.

[█␢█]

Would it have helped if Kyrix did the same with his banes instead of keeping them in one ball?

"So many minerals!"

"...don't worry about it."

 

So good!

Note that these are probably incomplete patch notes, with the wrong numbering and whatnot. But it's directly from TL, right from this page in fact. fresh off the presses. : http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessag...topic_id=174036

 

These supposed changes seem very interesting. A stalemate timer, priority adjustments, alot of buffs to protoss, and some bug fixes.

 

Also, lol at the fungal growth adjustment. Whoever here plays zerg is gonna be pissed.

 

Edit: Apparently these are TESTING patches. It's likely that some-most of them won't be implemented. But the bug fixes are happening, and they're serious about the stalemate timer and other general things.

[Pendragon]

The current state of the patch being worked on is going through rather vigorous testing.

 

The fungal nerf has been reverted, as has been the bunker time.

 

However, the Battlenet forums are EXPLODING with hate from Protoss and Zerg players. Now that Blizzard is asking for nerf suggestions, they're going crazy trying to nerf every unit Terrans use.

 

Normally I expect this, but I see 2-3 threads complaining about tanks and reapers. TANKS. AND REAPERS. Oh yes, because those units didn't get nerfed enough.

 

There should be a rule barring comments from Bronze Leaguers on that site. :/

Patch 1.3 Online.

 

Spoiler! --Click Here to View!--

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty - Patch 1.3.0

 

General

 

 

Leagues & Ladders

A new Grandmaster League has been added for 1v1 ladders. This league represents the Top 200 players in each region.

Players are automatically drafted into the Grandmaster League shortly after a new season starts, and will remain in the Grandmaster League until the end of the season. If a Grandmaster player’s available bonus points get too high due to inactivity, they will be automatically removed from the league and a replacement player will be drafted in.

The Grandmaster League can be viewed by all players through the new Leagues & Ladders > Grandmaster page.

The bonus pool has been reduced for arranged teams.

Leagues will now be locked during the final weeks of the season. As a result players will not accumulate additional bonus points and will not be promoted or demoted out of their current division during this period.

This will allow players to focus on moving up in their current league without being promoted during the final weeks of a season, and having to fight their way up from the bottom ranks of their new higher league.

Players can still utilize any bonus points they previously accumulated.

Ladder data from the prior season can be viewed through the new Leagues & Ladders > Last Season page.

New league icons have been introduced to indicate division rank. These will indicate the Top 8, 25 and 50 players in each division.

Loss counts are no longer displayed in Profile and Ladder pages for players below Master League.

 

 

Join Custom Game

Several improvements have been made to the Join Custom Game section:

The Details panel has been removed from this page. Map details are now shown inside a tooltip for each game.

Players can now bookmark their favorite custom games! The number of times a game has been bookmarked will be shown in that game's tooltip.

Games are now organized into several pages to make finding your desired game type easier:

Featured: Our team is always on the lookout for new games that are lots of fun. Our latest favorites are shown on this page.

Most Popular: Shows all game types, with the most played games sorted to the top.

By Category: This page allows you to browse through Custom Games based on Category.

Up & Coming: This page highlights games that other players are recommending, but haven't yet become popular.

Fun or Not: From this page you can automatically join a random new Custom Game. After the game, players using Fun or Not are asked to recommend the map (or not). Recommending maps helps get them onto the Up & Coming page.

Recently Played: The last several games you’ve played are shown here. Use this to quickly get back into games you play often, or to easily bookmark a game you enjoyed playing.

Bookmarks: Use this page to view your Bookmarked maps.

A search option has been added to the Join Custom Game interface.

 

 

Observer and Replay UI

New panels are now available when observing or viewing a replay of 1v1 games. These panels can be toggled via hotkeys which are shown under the Leader Panel drop-down.

Player Name Panel: Displays the players' name, team color, race, and supply count.

Stat Comparison Panels: Shows a head-to-head comparison of players' resources, army supply, units killed, or APM.

In 1v1 observed games, both players’ resource rows are shown in the upper right at the same time.

The main game UI can now be hidden/shown via hotkey.

You can now toggle between player unit colors and team unit colors when watching a replay or observing.

 

 

Game Options

A new Control page is available from the Options menu. You'll find Mouse, Keyboard and Scrolling options within this new page.

A new menu option is available in the Gameplay page to change the behavior of Control Group Buttons. These can now be set to ignore mouse clicks or be hidden completely.

No more beautiful viking flowers.

[LCC]

You can still make viking flowers, they're just not quite as tight.

[YUNG MASTERLESS GLENCOUR]

Would you say...those Vikings have been deflowered, than?

[Bakuhatsu Pengin]

when are they gonna nerf FF

[█␢█]

When they nerf the colossus

[Pendragon]

Welp, they just nerfed Terran mech HARD with that infestor buff.

 

Vikings can be held in place with one good fungal and they can't even flower to confuse the enemy.

 

This is gonna be an interesting few months.

[█␢█]

Fungal should not be able to hit the air at all. IMBA. Edited March 24, 2011 by NlJl

[LCC]

Mech was not hit at all with the infestor change. In fact, bio balls and vikings are the only things really affected by it in the way that they die really fast and can't be healed well enough to keep up with fungal.

[█␢█]

Battlecruisers haul ass now. It's crazy.
