Bramble conspiracy theory

Yeah as Gfinch said, most of us in the Beta are Master or Supertitan level players so we only felt the slight effect of it as we know how to deal with thorns in the most efficient manner. Still it was a little bit more powerful than the other races in general. Of course saying a unit is completely balanced at high level and leaving it to wreck havoc at lower levels is not justified at all, being even slightly inefficient at killing the thorns will cause them to overpower you and being at that level perfect play is not to be expected; it creates a different metagame, and it can often be problematic no matter how balanced it seems. For example, in LoL, theres a major division between higher and lower level players on which players buy wards and which don't. Generally stealth based characters were regarded as underpowered, but at lower levels the lack of co-operation and ward buying meant stealth players could 'stomp' players of equal rating or skill. They had to remake the stealth to improve play at high levels and reduce abuseiveness at lower levels (short-stealth, ranged stealth)
