    Ghost Crawler Gone, now the We = reversal

    Anyone else notice that now that GC is gone there is blue comments about reversal of PVP alterations and a vibe of the older way of PVP/PVE style was better?

    Maybe.. some day paladins can get rid of Holy Power and just use their MANA.

    WoD is shaping up to be everything we've wanted in wow past,current and future!

    Maybe the new lead will know enough math to know that 1=1/2=2 and get rid of the stupid tie rule in WSG/TP!

    I guess someone always has to win a BG for their systems.

    Because playing for 25 minutes for a tie is so rewarding and worthwhile compared to playing for a loss.

    This thread doesn't make any sense.

    Plus the current system encourages people to keep trying to the end of the battle if they are just one flag behind/ahead.

    This is true, But I feel more compelled to try to win the game if is tied than being down a flag with 1 - 5 mins left.

    The man went to a better place, also this thread made no sense , once again it's started by someone who thinks that every change to the game was decided by Ghostcrawler alone.

    Being lead designer at Blizzard is being part of a team , you throw around balance ideas and changes and they get approved or disapproved by a handful of people , being lead designer at Blizzard is not being the Fuhrer of Nazi Germany...

    You're deluding yourself. WoW's development and balance teams remain exactly the same. Ghostcrawler was but a single member of that team. If you think his departure will change anything, you're just fooling yourself.

    *sigh*

    Ghostcrawler deserves some flak as lead designer when things are received poorly by the community; such is the burden of being "lead". But he isn't the sole decision maker at Blizzard. He didn't direct everything. Not every change was his alone. As a senior software engineer myself I can attest: almost all decisions are made by the team. Almost all changes are discussed and fleshed out by the team.

    Can we stop this, please? Can we stop heaping this crap on the guy?

    Given he went to riot I think he secretly loves abuse from players, so let it continue!

    Riot's devs actually have an extremely good relationship with the player base. You should check out how active riot employees are on the league subreddit.

    The herpderp cjerk about league's community comes from how players treat each other, which is definitely an issue in low level or low elo games.

    Blizz gets a lot of good feedback, too. I've seen some of LoL's feedback so I am sticking with him being a masochist.

    Clueless angry teenagers with no idea how the real world works in big companies need a scapegoat.

    Admittedly, adults like to blame Clinton/Bush/Obama for everything as well, when... yadda yadda yadda, pudding.

    I've never even blamed a company for bad changes to a game, it's all some sort of calculated risk, as with everything in life.

    Not sure I'm as optimistic as you are, but I certainly feel like the direction the blue responses are going towards are better than what we've had the past 4 years or so.

    Time will tell.

    Presidents are the most powerful people, so yes, they do deserve a lot of blame or credit. I hear this all the time with football: "The quarterback gets too much blame/credit." Poppycock. If Tony Romo throws a pick-6 with less than 2 minutes to go, and the Cowboys lose, that's on Romo. That's not on the other 46 guys or the dozens of coaches who spilled their guts out on that sunday.

    It's unclear what the overall influence of GC was (to me at least), but there is little doubt in most people's minds that cata and mop were significantly inferior to Wrath-era wow, and to many others inferior to BC and even vanilla.

    Please explain why. Please outline every decision that 100% his, and his alone, and what the reaction was. Right, you can't.

    Riot Games is a "better place"? Oh man.....
    Let's make America GREAT again. Trump 2016.

    The community whined and bitched and cried, they stamped their little feet and demanded faster expansion releases. They don't get to complain now that expansions are shorter.
