although you could argue, if the game is basically a mirror match then balance is never an issue

Different guy here. I havent played SC2 for well over a year. Did they really fuck up multiplayer with LotV? Last I heard Terran was retarded OP.
AVP3
Real talk here
If there was truly a perfectly balanced online game, it would be boring and frustrating. Counter abilities wouldn't exist, RNG would be kept out, and there will be more stalemates than ever.

Don't counter the abilities counter the player.
>>318161492
In a perfectly balanced game, counters don't exist and outsmarting the player wouldn't work because you don't have the tools to do so.

How do you think Ryu beats Ryu?
>>318161167
To be honest I haven't played since wings of liberty, I just cannot remember a time where any race wasn't just easy win, last time I checked it was protoss winning just about every tournament ever, but that's subject to change.
Insurgency. Every weapon is good.
>>318161659
Whoever has the better ping.
If it's a local game, then whoever presses the combo first. It still wouldn't make an exciting game though if they spend most of the match just doing the same hadukens over and over.
>>318161070
No they move simultaneously
>>318161874
holy fuck
I don't know where to start, your knowledge of fighting games or your ability to function outside of a script.
>>318159408
Because the only way it could be perfectly balanced is if every character was exactly the same.
>>318161167
dont even take the bait
i mean right now zerg is looking strong with roach ravager pushes, but it's a completely different game since 12 worker start, less minerals per base and other changes such as new units for every race and slow warp-ins unless you're using a warp prism or your plylon is near a gateway/nexus. obviously you're getting get a bit of imbalance
sc2 multiplayer team have been wayyy more transparent and open to things relating to balance. so any imbalances will either be phased out due to meta-shifts or balance patch
>>318159408
CS 1.6 lasted so long, even after source was released, because of how well it was balanced.
Quake is so balanced it killed the game.
>>318161070
it aint like chess, it's as if both players are taking their turn at the same time
>>318162002
I don't know where to start either, your jit mentality or your incompetence at reasoning.
>>318162002
He's saying if all fighting games moved one frame at a time, and each player had time to consider their move, then each match would be a perfect stalemate. The only reason one player wins is because of reflexes or ping, that's not skill.
>>318162179
CS 1.6 was not balanced
>AK-47 being better than M4A1
>Terrorists having a position advantage in multiple maps

Ok retard.
Lets look at Team Fortress 2, on launch day.
Some classes counter others
>Scout moves fast and is hard to hit, so pyro has a weapon that doesn't require aiming
>Heavy moves slow so must let team mates kill snipers or take the long route, because each map has multiple was to get to each location .
>Engineer Sentry can instantly gib any enemy, so you need teamwork, spies, or an uber to defeat them
Balanced counters based on a combination of the map and variety of classes, but a player who understands the game can still manage these as any class.
>>318162667
TF2 was never a perfectly balanced game
>>318162667
The demoman was way, way, way better than everyone else on launch day.
>ITT nobody remembers Nidhogg.
PERFECT BALANCE
>>318159408
Dota
Not even joking, there's a counter and anti-counter to everything.
>>318162430
Nope, even if that were true things like spacing and recovery require you to take risks, every move is a risk. A fireball makes you really open to a jump in. Any normal can be counter hit, before it's out, or whiff punished on recovery.

This anon is right with Dota

Dota 2 is pretty much as balanced as you can get and its pretty impressive when its filled with over 100 heroes and like 700 abilities.
It changes a lot though, its not always balanced, sometimes it has bad patches, but overall its extremely balanced, even down to statistics.

Chen is the lowest at 40% WR(but his WR in competitive is much better)
Most sit around 45% to 50%
