  Shattered Galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shattered Galaxy is a massively multiplayer online real-time strategy game that was released in 2001 by Nexon Inc., now known as KRU Games, after an extensive open beta period.
Shattered Galaxy differs from other real-time strategy games in that a player controls only a handful of units (6 to 12), and battles are fought with many players on each side, each with their own selection of units.
Shattered Galaxy, on the other hand, embodies an old adage: "There is no I in team." Each of the battle's many members are relatively powerless on their own, and must trust in teammates for support, information and victory—teammates who may or may not actually be trustworthy.

 GameSpy.com - Developer Diaries - Shattered Galaxy: Volume 1
Therefore, the balancing of units in Shattered Galaxy was somewhat less rigorous than that of items and hero attributes, with broader assumptions being made and empirical information playing a larger role.
For example, about a third of Shattered Galaxy players believe that the hero attributes are well-balanced and the remaining two-thirds greatly disagree about which of the attributes is best.
