whats impalance?:P

edit:
just watched the video./ fucking amazing description and depicts exactly what happens in wcs here too...
agreed, there are times when something is wrongfully unbalanced, and there are times when its just perfect enough.
learn to counter. if after trying to counter for 20 rounds with good , smart strategies u keep failing, THEN bitch
... dnt bitch from round 1 in game plz.

+1 for stickying this shit and naming it "Balance Bitching HERE"

I agree with this video! It shows vagabond is a HUGE issue :P Vagabond fails cyclical (im)balance hardcore, as well as being far from subtle. Not saying it's broken, but (according to the video) unbalanced.

But other than that, I agree, this applies for our server fairly well. There are some things that aren't accurate for our server, such as cyclical imbalance needing players who care. But between meta shifting every map, and looking at Spidey pre- and post- speed correction, we've got it good.

On a side note, I really need to add Extra Credits back to my RSS. What am I doing 3 weeks behind...

I've sent links to around 10 friends of mine... That happens extremely on rare occasions - thus great video!

Did I really fail to spell imbalance o.O
Only race I could possibly say is unbalanced to the point of broken right now is rapscallion. But thats at the underpowered part of the scale.

Meh, it can still be very strong if used correctly. I have lead a team as rapscallian. Yes it is hard but is still can stand balance wise to other races

have some kudos good sir.

I'm sure that all of the WCS races were balanced using an equation.

I'm sure that none of the skill design in any of the races were done haphazardly.

I'm sure that people have stopped bitching about the "you know the race(s) I'm talking about" to bitch about how they keep getting countered when playing as said race(s).

Enlightening video though.
