Thanks guys! I guess it's just frustrating seeing all the negativity and not personally agreeing with much of it.
I don't consider myself qualified to talk about balance at a high level, and mostly blame myself (or teammates, let's be honest) when I or my team loses. I'm still at the level where it's quite possible to outplay someone or to simply be outplayed, and/or maybe my mindset is just one that would rather take the blame for a loss than to blame the designers of a game?
Either way, thanks for the encouraging words. Maybe I'll see some of you eventually in ladder ![;) ;)](/images/Smileys/wink.gif)
This is a recurring issue for developers.
A percentage of a developers fanbase want them to remake the same game just with improved visuals/audio and nothing else, For a developer that is boring and kills creativity.
The developer releases the sequel, a small majority of their fanbase attack it because it is not what they wanted. They continue to bitch and snipe, because they believe the developer owes them.
I've seen this happen in so many games and it will always happen, You simply cannot please everyone.
I have spoken to some who just prefer vcoh and that is the end of it, but then there are others who make it their mission to condemn the game out of spite.
