Bah, all these idiots annoy me. In fact, the very existence of World of Warcraft annoys me. That game is the fucking plague.

World of Warcraft and Warcraft 3 are DIFFERENT GAMES. The former is a mindless MMORPG, the latter is a great real-time strategy game with a powerful editor that allows for great scenarios to be made.

I've never said it was completely balanced. Even professional games aren't balanced though.

But it's hard, because if you nerf one hero/item another one becomes stronger. Take Terrorblade for instance. When they nerfed blink dagger, slows became much stronger. So now Terrorblade is considered imbalanced because he can slow people down with Maim from Sange and Yasha. Also balanced tends to be different per different levels of play. A lot of pubbers call Stealth Assassin strong because he has perma invisibility. While in a high level game (MYM for instance) he is shit. Because he can be countered. So while a lot of people think one thing is balanced, it really isn't because it has a counter.
