    As I'm sure many of us here were, I was watching the Big Bang finals and I noticed something shocking about the PA balance. Part of the point of PAs mechanics and and business model are to ensure that at the start of each match all players are on a theoretical even playing field. Each player has the same units available to them, the same build rate, starting resources, etc. Occasionally some strategies start to dominate over others in ways that may seem unfair, and units become "required choices" over others.
    I have for a long time admired PAs balance but watching the tournament I was devastated to find a gaping hole in it. It is clear to me now that PAG_Matiz is OP.
    This is important for Uber to address. The asteroids update can wait, because this is game breaking and thousands of players saw the tourny finals. The secret is out.
    Proposed changes:
    1.5% nerf to APM
    3 point reduction in Situational Awareness
    Timer to restrict ability to relentlessly expand after minute 15.

    Does this go to far? Would this put Matiz on the level of other players?
    In order to shift toward the vanilla balance it may be necessary to also implement a 3 point buff to Orbital Experience.

    I mean when you're next meal depends on weather or not you can 3-0 someone, I would think he is not in fact OP but just a man doing business....and business is good.

    I've heard rumors that it was matiz sister playing again instead of matiz himself.

    Can anyone confirm?

    I think he's secretly Korean but Poland bought him to play for them.... maybe we should get matiz to play in the next tournament with 1 hand tied behind his back???? That might be an adequate nerf though he'll probably still crush people <3 =P

    I heard Matiz is actually Sorian's ultimate AI, a bionetic organism designed to process 1000 threads in parallel

    Am I the only one who didn't get the joke and is ashamed to say that since so many people seem to have gotten it and responded with a like? :(

    It's not as if you have to partake in it and seeing how you've been on the forum quite a while already it's surprising how you choose now to openly display your dislike of the subject when it has been used many times before. Why not continue your righteous crusade of tolerating it, because there's nothing you can do to remove it.

    Matiz - Good player, but not OP (If going to train, you can win him).
    Elodea - OP (He is Korean with mad APM).
    UPD: proof (166 vs 294)
