I think that Idra should change one of his famous quotes. TvT is so funny, they just sit there hurling imbalanced shit at each other | ||

Ugh, such a frustrating matchup, especially when you know it gets kinda fun and challenging in the late game but it's totally up to the terran to decide if it ever goes there. | ||

Really hard to fight off banshee with 2 or 3 gate robo simply because of how immobile your army is. It really feels like Terran dictates the game from the beginning and then usually comes into the mid game with a sizeable advantage so the protoss can't win even though the midgame seems so finely balanced. | ||

In early beta I played random, and I've been race-switching almost every few patches to side with the "strongest" race. It has been Terran ever since patch 11. I guess I play the game to dominate and win against lesser players (races), which gives me far more satisfaction than losses where "you would learn more"  | ||

I just genuinely can't find any safe openings that work vs good Terrans consistently, everything has a reasonably hard bo counter that T can actually adjust to in time to kill you if they know what they're doing. Anyone looking to be competitive at this game would be an idiot not to pick Terran right now, which is a shame, because PvZ is by far the best, most interesting match up in the current patch. | ||

My hardest tech choice in most games is "Hydra or Muta?". Ahh fuck it who am I kidding, I just go Muta every game now. and yes I build Infestors so don't call me a n00b or anything | ||

I actually switched to Zerg. Don't kill me Zerg players, you can still complain. | ||

While I find TvZ quite easy (ok everyone knows it is that's not the point) TvP is a fucking mystery to me. I can not figure out this damned matchup. My micro and macro is pretty good, and I just can't stand up to a protoss army. Immortals completely shut down any 3 rax play, if I try to 1-1-1 i get crushed by any number of things. Even if i make it to mid/late game mass chargelots and storm usually beats me. And before I get flamed for being a terrible SC2 player I was a C player on ICCup, so I'm not exactly horrible. | ||

I don't think anyone will dispute this - I just think most of us protoss players are saying "hey - the grass isn't green over here either!" Again, as stated, my biggest problem is the early to early/midgame stages - protoss just feels so fragile with few ways of coming out with an advantage/even to a well played terran player. Maybe i'm just horrible though :[. | ||

Unit Compositions At roughly even supply, Protoss must have the correct unit mixture (zealots/stalker/immortal/sentry) I don't know the exact ratio, but somewhere around 1.25:1:0.25:0.25 to beat a normal MMM ball, based on what I have seen I would argue that with good forcefields the aforementioned force will rollover a pure MMM ball (no ghosts). Now I mention this no ghosts part because it is important in the (probably) the most common TvP build, the 3rax (for reference see Demuslim in IEM). Usually the first 3rax push doesnt have ghosts so with the right mixture, a 2 or 3 gate robo build should be able to defend a rax push (from what I have seen). Basically, the theory is that the zealots tank shots while the rest of the units do damage and sentries forcefield to prevent retreat micro. However, if protoss doesnt have the right mixture, a classic example is a composition consisting of mostly stalker, the toss army just gets rolled. Now, this is probably where the balance problem lies, in that the toss will probably just die without the proper unit composition (while the Terran composition is much simpler). I just want to point out that I only talked about robo openings vs standard 3 rax (marine medivac marauder with stim), I don't know how ghosts play into it as I haven't really seen a 3rax with ghost (because you really only have enough gas from 1 base for either medivacs or ghosts). P.S. this is by no means a truly rigorous analysis and mostly a casual conjecture from watching mass replays over the last week, truly its probably mostly theorycraft ^_^ | ||

I kind of agree with you here. I only really have one safe opening and I still lose with it to creative play because I'm so confined to staying back early on until quite a few techs finish. Once I actually do finish all the rax upgrades, get +1, get a raven and vacs and 2 ghosts, I'm finally comfortable.. but until then I get hammered if I leave my area. I think I need to explore expanding earlier and bunkering up to try to get ahead more often. | ||
