Protoss player by heart, C+ ish on iccup.

Good PVP/PVT record and horrible PVZ record.

My ZVT and ZVZ are MAX D+/C-. However my ZVP is like C+.

I play with friends who are also around C/C+, and I can beat the C P players with my noob Z offrace most of the time, I just learned the 12 hatch/overpool openings into 3 hatch spire into 5 hatch hydra. All I have to do is scout actively to make sure they play standard or else react accordingly by adding sunks/lings. They can't beat me, unless I majorly fuck up by suiciding like 5 OLs or fail epically at storm dodging.

Other way around in PVZ, I try my hardest and still lose to some D+ friends.

So in conclusion, I put a lot of practice into PVZ, yet suck and lose to D+ players. I learn 1 standard BO for zerg (albeit a very good one, one that makes the game IMBA ZVP), and I start to rape C Protoss players left and right.

ZVP IMBA. QED.

Don't even argue with me.

Erm... typo in title. Irrefutable is what I meant. X_X

No.

I'm saying I've been playing PVZ for years, constantly TRYING to improve i.e. watching pro vods, practicing BOs in singleplayer, dissecting loss replays etc. Yet I suck hard and lose to D+ zergs while I beat C+ protosses and terrans.

Yet I've been practicing and playing a zerg BO for about 2 months, and somehow I can defeat C+ protosses with it. 1a2a3a hydras for the win.

That's HOW.

Or...y'know...thats just the way it is?
My PvT and PvZ are both WAY above my PvP atm...
PvP RIDICULOUS IMBA D: <
but seriously the thing that causes the imbalance at the highest levels wouldnt apply to C level games probably, its just a coincidence.

Damn, called out.

Anyway to the OP, ZvP is not imba... try learning a timing push that messes them up before they get their 5 hatches pumping. Obviously you are spending too much time on zvp and not training enough time pvz. And if you are C+ zvp you should know when your 5hatch is weak for a counter attack and then apply that to your pvz. Just because you are good at zvp and not pvz doesn't make the mu imba. Look at the pros. Learn a timing attack.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

meh, PvZ can be extremely frustrating sometimes but your "reason" is just a personal statement of your own skill levels in various match-ups and that's a pretty stupid argument.
