I dunno, the late-game mech transition after the bio opening is pretty deadly. I think zergs really need to be more aggressive in tech switching themselves, and need to get better at matching terran gayness with roach macro. Also, lurkers. Should be added.

I think after two weeks of being out it's obvious that SC2 is already perfectly balanced so we should try and shut down and ridicule anyone who tries to identify any supposed imbalances.

Most of the "imba talk" in sc2 TvZ is with mech, I don't think lurkers will really help with mech.

Terran is imbalanced (My proposition).

Credentials

- I'm rank 1 diamond zerg and won every TvZ in my placement matches.

Why Terran is imbalanced
1. Races that have tanks
- Terran

2. Races that don't have tanks
- Protoss
- Zerg

Therefore, Terran is imbalanced.

My suggestion
- Make mutas able to turn into brood lords for free.
- Make brood lords able to attack air except they spit scourges.

Terran is imbalanced (My take).

Credentials

- I'm rank 1 Diamond Zerg Division Wallabie Kangaroo

Why Terran is imbalanced
1. Races that have slow
- Terran (marauders)

2. Races that don't have slow
- Protoss
- Zerg

Therefore, Terran is imbalanced.

My suggestion
- Make zealots get charge for free
- Let zerg have movespeed equal to their on-creep movespeed (ie. lightspeed)

Sorry man, I've just been on LZ's stream a lot lately and Incontrol just keeps pounding on the Azz the aussie (hilarious btw, as many would attest).

It's so cute when terrans talk like this.

Go try it out, we'll wait.


The first annoying thing was playing Zerg and having to play vs Terran.
Then the annoying thing became the Terran players who refused to admit there was an issue. That was the most annoying thing.
Then the most annoying thing were the flux of zerg players all claiming they know why the matchup is imbalanced or that the matchup is unwinnable by zerg.
Now I'd have to say the most annoying thing is the glut of terran/protoss players who not only think it's zerg players making stuff up, but also ridicule away at their attempts to explain the complex balance issue that is ZvT.

this was the funniest comment i've read all week. especially after the MSL Ro8 comments. omg I'm still laughing
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

Terran is imbalanced (My take).

Credentials

- I'm best Zerg in world, imo.

Why Terran is imbalanced
1. Races that have a free scouting tool that's impossible to stop (scans!!!)
- Terran

2. Races that don't have free scouting tool that's impossible to stop
- Protoss
- Zerg

Therefore, Terran is imbalanced.

My suggestion
- Make overlords free.
- Make Scans cost 400 minerals each. And make it an upgrade for Orbital for 100/100.
- Reduce Marine range by 1.
- Make observers cost 10/15.

Thank you. The number of threads by Terran players ridiculing Zerg player for having legitimate complaints is mind boggling.

Terran is imbalanced (Fact).

Credentials
- I am unranked because Blizzard put me in my own league just because they were afraid of me getting n00bs to QQ/RQ and increase suicide rates in America

Why Terran/Protoss is imbalanced
Terran
  • Marauders w/ stim... I mean c'mon, self explanatory
  • Tanks... with or without siege mode do an unmeasurable amount damage, like wayyyyy over 9000
  • Thors - Like tanks, cept bigger and a bit manlier


Protoss
  • Warpgates - warp in units almost instantly anywhere you build a structure that only costs 100 and gives supply
  • Voidrays - Imbabeamz that become more imba after they CHARGIN THEIR LAZERZS
  • Force fields - Like the Invisible Woman or a bunch of Jedi Knights


Races that are underpowered
Zerg
[list]
[*]No need for explanation. Just take my word for it. Everything I saw is always true, so you don't have to worry. Just sit back, relax, and rage at Blizzard until they buff Zerg.

Therefore, Terran/Protoss is imbalanced.

My suggestions
- Hack all the Terran/Protoss player's accounts and sell them to 12 year old n00bs, this will increase Zerg winrate by buttloads
- Just get rid of Terran/Protoss permanently. I mean... why have them around. I don't like them, so no one should play them. End of story.

Thanks for reading.

The problem I have with all these kinds of threads is that they're all just whining. If you wanted to get better, you'd post replays and ask for feedback -- not rage about how the game is stacked against you. Simple as that. Do you want to whine, or do you want to get better?

I really wonder why mods don't automatically close any thread that talks about imba when they don't include replays.
