Hey,

I wanted to make a post since I heard this mentioned in a stream today that there may be a small number, but vocal, terran part of the balance council that is absolutely opposed to ghost nerfs.

I wanted to raise a discussion post to see if anyone could verify (not looking to dox the specific individual(s)) the possibility of this being the hold up for a ghost nerf.

I’m a terran main. I care much more about a fun to watch product that has diversity in styles rather than what TvZ has become over the years. If queens are getting looked at and shield batteries are getting looked at, ghosts should be getting looked at as well. They fall into the same category of the above tools that serve too well at too many different functions and thus cause a less nuanced game.

It is undeniable that the ghost is too strong in TvZ. This is inarguable.

Since there is so little transparency about the interworkings of the balance council’s process, I don’t expect to get much of a response and have no ability to prove or disprove this possibility.

I am, however, worried if something that is so critically apparent to much of the community cannot be changed due to a small number of individuals on the council. This is my vain attempt at “old man yells at clouds” energy to put a respectful discussion to say that all I want for Halloween is for spooky ghosts to be nerfed. That power can be compensated elsewhere, but as of now, the ghost is OP and should be looked at.
