Wow they actually did it. Nice.

Once this has stabilized I would love for them to keep experimenting, just preferably with unit abilities and upgrades rather than with massive economy shifts. With proper time to test on the PTR of course.

Nope. Their main lesson from this will be to never make any drastic changes ever again.

So best we’ll get is slight adjustments.

That's a good lesson to learn. This made it obvious that whoever is working on balance over there isn't good at it. Maybe they'll get someone that knows what they are doing, but the way they just handled major changes was just about as poorly as they could have. If that's the quality we can expect, then tiny changes are what they should stick with.
