IgroMir 2009: imba.Adolf[RA] reports his SC2 opinions

So in conclusion, you're just whining, which is not a valid reason for removing the Thor's visual pick up.

In conclusion:

- knowing/not knowing what your opponent is dropping is important
- other races carrying the Thor
- animation lag
- size doesn't matter

So in conclusion, you're now crying about possible imbalances which you've yet to provide any evidence for.
Second, if you're not talking about any possible imbalances, than I don't see the difference between all the gameplay affecting points you made.

So tell me why your opponent should NOT be able to see a unit which can destroy your main building in seconds, while being hard to take down?

What other unit in the whole game drops and deploys to destroy a main building in seconds? Marine drops take a combined total of time longer than any Thor drop. And 8 marines will not even do the same damage that a Thor will with its barrage.

- knowing/not knowing what your opponent is dropping is important

As Nicol said, there is no reason to believe balance was not taken into account, and that this visual quirk is not actually a necessary part in keeping the Thor from getting out of hand.

- other races carrying the Thor

This will happen SO rarely that it's not worth taking into account. For what it's worth, I'd LIKE an Overlord carrying a Thor animation, but only if Blizz has absolutely nothing else to spend time on.

- animation lag

There is no evidence to suggest this animation lags the Thor at all. In other news, other units have animation lag on loading and unloading and work fine.

- size doesn't matter

Size does matter.

Thanks for playing!

No evidence for or against.

Thanks for... telling me that three of the four points in your argument... are actually inarguable?

Opinion.

Thanks for playing!

Sure is! As long as we agree that it comes down completely to opinion, everything is hunky dory. Except my opinion won and yours didn't.

Opinions can't win. They can only be implemented, and its not even beta yet.

So what you mean to say is that my opinion might only be winning temporarily?

I'm saying that you're the hare, and I'm the tortoise.

So I should be afraid of going to sleep during the Beta, lest the Thor suddenly finds himself as disappeared as everyone else?

Not what I meant at all. Archer has taught you well.
