Re: Possible way out of the V.Q. Problem

The whining will surely start anew if the current crop of whiners has their way and gets a significant nerf to the VQ, when souped-up GKs start getting crammed down people's throats.

Let me explain this to you in a different way Norfleet. In every MP game these issues come up. You, like myself have probably played a lot of these games, and we've seen this movie before. I hesitate to use a RTS example, because of the usual TBS snobbery against the "strategy for the masses clickfest" flames, but it's the best comparison I can think of.
Back when Warcraft 3 first came out there was a unit called the Demon Hunter. Given the right equipment, this unit could kill entire armies and bases all by itself. Huge heated debates raged on message Boards and a lot of the same kinds of arguments were used that we are seeing here. Good players could overcome the Demon hunter because they were skilled players, but in the end the Demon Hunter was given a HUGE nerf and you know what?
The good players were still good players, the bad players were still bad players... and the Demon Hunter, even after his huge nerf was still a great unit. You just didn't see him in every single game, and we didn't have the boredom of seeing the same unit over and over again.
That's probably what's going to happen here Norfleet. The VQ is going to get nerfed, because even with all your good arguments (sometimes I wonder why the hell you use her if she sucks so bad), it's plainly obvious to everyone that the VQ is quite a bit better than the rest of the pretenders. And you know what? You'll either keep using the weaker Version or find another strategy to keep winning.
The greatest thing about it Norfleet? Now when you kick someone's *** with a Ghost King or Carrion Dragon, they can't say squat. Know why? Because you are a good player and you'll adapt. That is... unless you can't win without your precious vampire
From what I've heard, you seem to have a pretty good idea how this game is played. And I'm pretty sure that once the inevitable happens, you'll do just fine. So stop fighting it and just accept your nerf like a man.
