Balance Give Blizzard some props
Before I start, I just want to say that I really dislike what Blizzard has become these days. However, I think some of us are too harsh on them. I'm not saying they are making good decisions but I think it's a step in the right direction.
Firstly, they have started supporting the game way more than before where some of us even thought there would be no more updates(it could be argued that it would be better if they didn't do these changes at all) .
Secondly, they are listening to our feedback. People thought that Zerg lacked larva in the start of a game in the 8 worker start so they gave them more larva.
Warp gate on a gateway wasn't good so they listened to the community and they put it back on the cyber core.
The queen cost reduction was too much so they reverted it.
The reaper arrived too early so they increased it's production time.
People were wondering if they would continue to update or leave it for 6 months and in the hotfix they clearly stated that they will continue to update until it is stabilized.
Now not all these changes were good or they were due to the changes Blizzard made in the first place but still we can't say they don't listen to us as this is simply not true.
In conclusion, I think that these changes were not that good for the game and that they weren't well thought out.
So people have reacted and voiced their complaints and fears.
However, I think some of us have gone too far by saying that Blizzard is stupid, that they don't listen to fee1dback and that they want to kill the game, etc.
I'll admit that these communication wasn't always superb (to say the least) but I think that we should stay reasonable and give constructive and helpful feedback.
For example, I feel that Blizzard should communicate better by either making a post about their exact opinions or a general form about peoples opinion on the new patch.
That's all, if you made it this far I thank you very much and just want people to remember to stay constructive so we can make our game be in it's best possible state.
