The game should be catered to the largest player base.


This, Common sense hard or what?

If you knew anything about sports you would know that the rules change ALL the time, and have done so a myriad of times throughout history.

I do personally think that no one can lose a game of starcraft due to anything other than their own fault, though.

If you genuinely think you're losing because of balance then you just suck, too bad. Get over it.

You can blame all the outside forces that you'd like, but in the end you are just trying to reduce your own cognitive dissonance because you can't overcome the strategic use of pixels

I played competitive basketball from grade 7~11
highschool MVP in grade 10, RROPPSAA champions in grade 10, PHYBA league champions in 2006, 2007.
Did taekwondo from 4-18
Played competitive hockey from grade 3~7
4 years of army cadets and over a year of service in army reserves

There is ZERO balance issue in professional sports, the only "balance" issue are the biasedness of the refs.
So come again and tell me that I don't know anything about sports and prove me wrong.
Rules apply to both teams and does not favor one over the other, this has nothing to do with "balance"

I stopped growing at 6'0 if I was taller I would have continued playing basketball competitively
The talent at UofT is pretty bad that I could have potentially made a roster spot if I kept playing
But I never played PG before in my life, don't have a great court vision so it was hard to make the transition plus its not like I was gunna get anywhere in life wasting so much time due to games/practice/conditioning

Yeah here's the thing, you played at such a low level that, like our better players on the forum who to say to the lower level players, you wouldn't know the first thing about balance in a sport, what rules effect the players, and just how much those seemingly minor details effect the game. Not saying I know, but playing sports up to 11th grade is like being a bronze league player and your ideas about balance or nonbalance of a sport are essentially meaningless.

Rules in sports change all the time because of what we would call in Starcraft, balance issues. I have no idea why somel of you get so hung up on an analogy that actually makes sense just because it doesn't fit your thought process.

RROPPSA is provincial tournament so yeah, must be a bronze league.
Also you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about if you're trying to say that theres a balance issue in sports


Don't really want to get into sport theory but balance issues exist in all sports, the weight of the baseball, the width of the sideline, rule changes - you name it almost any sport has had struggles with balance issues.



LOL "weight of the baseball" wheres the balance issue in that?
Width of the sideline? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
The "balance" becomes an issue if it favors one side over the other.
Because the baseball is "heavy" or "light" does that make it easier for pitcher A to throw and not easy for pitcher B to throw? or is it more advantageous for the pitcher rather than the batter? no it affects both sides equally.

Sure there are rule changes, the biggest issue with NBA in the recent years was the hack-a-shaq rule (you wouldn't know what this is, I won't even bother explaining a foreign subject of physical activity to a scrawny fuck like you)
Teams would foul Shaq who was a horrible free throw shooter and force him to the free throw line to stop the clock and switch possession after the play but is this a balance issue?
No because although the opposing team gets what they want by stopping the clock forcing a change of possession and the opportunity to run their own play they put them selves in the penalty making it easier for Shaq's team to play more aggressive to get their better shooters to the line, force the opposing team to loosen their defense to avoid fouling out etc.





Instead of thinking you know a thing or two about sports, why don't you tell me what your idea of balance issue in sports is?
