Community Update -?

Can we get a balance update? Or at least the teams thought on the state of the game and where they are headed?..They should probably do this like at least once every 3 months…

They haven’t said anything after Katowice,so I suppose they will remain silent until the next big tournament finishes,and then they will drop a small update.

100% Zerg winrate will be ultimate balance. When no one plays Terran or Protoss, can there be more balanced game?

I mean, 44% winrate in ZvT is slightly far from that.
If you are going to complain about zerg, because you are a hypocritical whiner who thinks other races’ everything are free while MULEs cost minerals, it hsould not be the winrates that at the moment in TvZ FAVOR TERRAN.

But keep on! People like you are part of the reason that the terran whiner stereotype is a thing.

They are waiting for the IEM rage to subside before announcing that zerg is getting buffs.

Yup. They will offer a fake nerf like decrease larva sight by 1 but end up overall buffing the race like they always do.

Throw enough buffs at it and it eventually won’t be underpowered, right?

yeah its because Zeratul’s prophecy was correct all along!!! The terrans and protoss were predicted to be wiped out and zerg would become the master slave race with Amon (Blizzard/Activision CEO) and the hybrids (Blizzard Development Team).

I want to assume post GSL ST 1

This is what blizzard would say about larva sight:

"We take note of the relative early game strength that larva sight gives to zerg for scouting and defensive purposes. Terran players have complained that sometimes larva can see attacks from incoming armies and give away their position. Therefore we will nerf larva sight by 1.

However, we feel that without the vision that larva gives to the zerg, zerg players will be far too vulnerable to early and mid game attacks. Therefore to make early and mid game defense better for zerg we will allow roaches to fly and raise hydralisk attack range to 15 to compensate.

As a result we believe that zerg will remain competitive in these phases of the games vs both terran and protoss even with this major nerf to larva sight"
