"Hey guys,

I’ve just posted a new designer blog by our Lead Balance Designer Gavin “Ender” Simon where he explains the strategic reasoning behind the hottest upcoming balance changes for Patch 1.09. You’ve been discussing and debating them on the message boards, now check out what Gavin has to say about all the arguments, and more about why we are doing specific changes. It’s a very interesting read and a type of blog which we have not done in quite a while.
