Hallo everybody! (Hi Dr. Nini!)
I'm here to talk to you today about making threads. Not just any kind of thread, an imbalance thread. Some people think you need weeks or even months of SC2 experience to make a good thread! But folks, I'm here to prove them wrong. Just follow these easy steps and you'll be A-OK!
Step 1: The Title.
As you know by now, ZvT imbalance is a hot topic so be sure to include that in your title (see: title). Don't forget to include a qualifier though so if someone calls your ideas stupid or nonsensical you can respond with "they're just a suggestions!" "well it's my opinion!"
Example:
TvZ imbalance: My Take.
TvZ imbalance: Take 2 (with more effort)
TvZ imbalance: It really is imbalanced IMO. TvZ that is.
Step 2: The Introduction.
The introduction is very important to set the tone for the rest of the post, that's why you should be sure to include your league, rank, and ELO. It's good to include your ELO so people know how many points you have and can make large assumptions about your skill based on the lack of information provided about games played or win ratio. Be sure to list your league and rank as well because something has to fill in the white-space where your replays should be. Also mention you switched to Terran and played 5 TvZs against your similarly ranked friend and won easily.
Example:
Hi! I'm Nini McNeenerton from South Neensville. I'm a 700 ELO rank 8 diamond player from Automaton Butterfly division. ZvT is imbalanced, trust me! I even played like 20 TvZs and won all of them. WOWOWOW!
Step 3: The Imbalance.
This section is the most important. It requires a certain amount of elegance to pull off but I know you can do it! You want to list what you think is causing the ZvT imbalance and make well-known generalizations about them. Be sure to not get to specific though or else you may end up having to argue to point with substantial evidence!
Example:
Reasons why ZvT is imbalanced. 1. Terrans have a lot of openings that are hard to scout. - 1 Rax
- 2 rax
- Thor Drop
- Cloaked Banshee
- Fast Hellion
- So much more omfg!
Notice that I've done nothing but list Terran openings! Let's continue!
Example:
2. Terran units counter everything Zerg has! - Hellions > Zerglings
- Tanks > Hydralisks
- Thors > Mutalisks
- Marauders > Roaches
What overwhelming evidence?! Simply list all the hard counters in the matchup that are favorable to Terran while ignoring Zerg counters to Terran units. Who's going to argue that hard counters don't exist?! Upward and onward!
Example:
3. My nerf suggestions! - Lower the range of Vikings
- Take away Thor splash but give it +2 additional damage to light
- Increase Reaper cost
- Make MULEs SCVs that can't autorally and get rid of MULE calldown
- Decrease Hive cost and build time
- Increase Ultralisk HP to 900
The most important thing in this section is to maintain no sense of consistency whatsoever. You want to barrage the reader with so many nonsensical nerfs that anyone with half a brain will give up and not respond. Be sure to also include slight buffs with some of your nerfs even though the buffs make no real attempt to balance the terrible nerf at all. Be sure to include nerfs starting from early game units to late game tech buildings that way people know you've at least made it to late game!
Step 4: Conclusion.
In the conclusion, be sure to make an appeal to rationality. Make sure your reader knows that you are being completely objective and that you have considered everything possible even though you have not considered how your changes will affect other matchups. Also, be sure to include a snide remark towards the end about the current atrocity known as ZvT and, if you feel like it, send a quip Blizzard's way.
Example:
I think these changes will balance TvZ, proven by the fact that ladder statistics prove that Terran see a 5% increase in the Top 100. I think if Blizzard would be kind enough to balance their game maybe every Gold league Terran won't be in Diamond with 80% winrates XD.
So guys, I just want you to learn as much as possible and for Terrans to admit that they are actually terrible and only winning because the matchup is hugely imbalanced in their favor. I think it's up to us to initiate change because it's not like Blizzard would do it themselves. XD

Terran is imbalanced (My proposition).
Credentials
- I win games with strong FD and BRFS (at D level)
Why Terran is imbalanced
1. Races that can lift buildings.
- Terran
2. Races that can't lift buildings
- Protoss
- Zerg
Therefore, Terran is imbalanced.
My suggestion
- Allow Nexuses to warp around the map and recall probes.
- Allow Hatcheries, Lairs, and Hives to fly around and have a carry capacity of four ultras.

Anyways this is a cool thread, I think I'm now well equipped to make a fulfilling and substantiative thread in the strategy forum, thanks doc!

i have evidence that mahnini is not a phd
|
Reasons why mahnini would have a PHD:
- PHDs are for doctorates
- You don't have to be a medical doctor to be a PHD
- Smart people have PHDs

GIANT SCVs?!?!?
On topic: don't ignore TvP 
I am a Pro league 1200 ELO Protoss player and I still get owned by the simplest of Terran builds. IMBALANCE? I think so!
1. Terran has marauders
Terran has tanks
Terran has banshees
2. Marauders>stalkers
Tanks>stalkers
Banshees>stalkers
3. It is obviously imbalances since Protoss cannot win with just stalkers
4. Buff stalkers. Give them marauder slow shells, marauder bonus vs armor, tank splash Nd banshee cloak
:D I'm a pro now!

I support your view. Zerg was nerfed so many times and terran was buffed so many times, omg, this must mean that blizzard has no idea what they are doing and T is imba! We NEED 1 supply roaches back because we are all sick of making other units!

And 2 supply roaches is still pretty annoying. I've been in too many games that get me to go MutaLing

Terran is imbalanced (My proposition).
Credentials
- I win games with the same 2port banshee build (at bronze level)
Why Terran is imbalanced
1. Races that have cliff-jumpers early game.
- Terran
2. Races that don't have cliff-jumpers early-game
- Protoss
- Zerg
Therefore, Terran is imbalanced.
My suggestion
- Give zealots and zerglings spring shoes so that they can jump cliffs.
- Make the reaper's jumping ability have to be researched in techlab
(this is supposed to be a joke sorta...right? o_o)
|
Yeah man I hear ya. Zerg needs Lurkers back. And Defilers. Can't do shit without them two.
|
Any thoughts on a next project for me?
I like starting trends
Kinda like the sound of "PvZ 2 gate pressure nerf".

I thought this was BW and then I was sad when it wasn't because I have no idea if tvz is imbalanced in SC2 but I would love to rage about how hard ZvT is in BW because fucking irradiate fucking tanks fucking mines bullshit bullshit rararrrg *rips off shirt*
|
I have a feeling some people are going to take this seriously.
|
The number of terrans whining on the zergs whining about obvious imbalance is starting to outnumber us whining zergs imo :p i gotta whine about that too.

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.

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.

I lol'd. Awesome post, funnier responses. Please make that koreasilver imba format a meme.

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.

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.

Part of the problem with the match-up is that it's hard to actually do this. There have been some good ZvT 'ideas' or improving on your ZvT threads, but it can only go so far. It's really easy to take a ZvT match and say, "Well if player did x,y,z they'd win" but that doesn't really count for a whole lot. First off playing mechanically better will always help you win, that's fine and good, but it's not really something you need to ask help for. As for the actual strategies a big part of the matchup's problem is that there are so many things a Terran can throw at you and in such flexible ways.
Usually the advice is something that would win that one particular game, but that's completely useless because the next 20 times you play terrans you're going to be seeing completely different stuff that demands completely different style of play.
Without zerg having more ways of restricting Terran options it's really hard to solicit advice on the matchup. By comparison when it's ZvP it's very easy to give advice. ZvP can feel very unfair at times to players, but you see little whining on the matchup and that's why (well also because it's more balanced). It's easy to look at replays or ask for advice, see what you did wrong, then apply it to the next game and actually have it result in some sort of improvement.

I'm not sure what the issue here is -- are you saying it's hard to improve by watching and receiving commentary on your replays? Because Zerg doesn't have initiative in the early game to take control of the game (because almost every Zerg FEs), so there isn't a single build order that lets you dictate the pace of the game 20 times in a row?
In the end, watching and analyzing replays is one of the best and most concrete ways of improving yourself. What do you suggest Zerg do instead?
Let's get to the heart of the issue ... no match up is beyond 45-55 right now, and overall the race win/ratio is within a couple of % of even, according to Blizzard posts. Ultimately, skill is a much higher determinant of whether you win or loss a match. Yes, race may provide you a 5-10% boost in your probability of winning, but the other 90-95%? That's you, and only you are responsible for that 90-95%. So man up, and take responsibilitiy for that 90-95%, and post replays, cuz that's a far better way of upping your win % than posting complaints about imbalance on the forums.

Nice a fellow Ph.D. Zerg player. Sense of humor to. very good. Continue -_-

At some point I was reading the comments and couldn't remember whether I was reading a satirical balance thread or a real balance thread, apparently nothing can stop the endless balance discussion

Roach - Give me back my Armour and give me speed from the off also range increase to 4 plz k thanks!
Queen - Should not need Spawning pool. Faster spawn larvae cycles maybe 35 seconds.
Spire - Lower the Spire time 10-15 seconds
Infestor - Neural Parasite needs to be at least 20 or 30 seconds
Spine Crawler - Marauder fodder. Spines should not be considered a structure.
Overseer - Needs a 25 reduction maybe even a 50 gas reduction!

I think what he's trying to say is that Zerg has MORE to prepare for because of the variety of options the Terran has, thus making it harder for Zergs to properly prepare. It almost sounds to me like you guys are discussing Brood War though, no?
As for complaining about imbalance: it's a perfectly legitimate and helpful way to change things. Products improve due to customer feedback, games like this aren't any exception. The best thing a Zerg could do if he thought he was facing a huge imbalance is probably switch races. I'm a hypocrite because I always complain about Terran being overpowered in BW and haven't switched, but I think that would be the best thing on a large scale. It would show "hey, no one is using this race, perhaps it's underpowered."
And I know your post is from like 2 months ago, but I don't like this taboo of not being able to discuss balance.
