Thats the replay. It is around 1200 diamond level. Download it and skim through the game. There are two major fights. I want you to put emphasis on the last fight. If you don't watch the replay or don't want to contribute please just don't reply. ezpz
Now here is my description of this game, and why it is particularly vulgar to me:
-APM. Throughout the entire match, I am at 100apm and my opponent is at 50. Yes, APM isn't the be all endall, but just keep in mind that I am Doubling the actions per minute of my opponent. That is staggering.
-Food advantage. Throughout the entire game I hold a food advantage of ~5 on average. I am a superior macro player, and was ahead even in the early game because of macro mistakes by my opponent.
-His first major timing push. This was a medium sized push and I was able to fend it off with some good forcefield usage. It wasn't the best, but did the job.
----- From here normally it would be GG. However, he was STILL sitting in his base. I of course decide not to suicide up his ramp, but instead expand like you should after defeating a large terran force as protoss.
-I am now on 2 bases with a 5-10 harvester advantage. This doesn't matter at all, as at most times he matched my 2base income just by using Mules. This is my first major complaint. The mules are bolstering his economy so much that he is able to match a protoss player who is on 2bases with more workers. This is vulgar.
-I have an observer. I know exactly what he is doing. Also, I take over the map. If he tries to ninja, I know about it. I have pylons and probes everywhere. +1 to me. I pretty much knew he was only on 1base and wasn't going to expand anytime soon.
-I am teching up to TIER3. He has 0 tier3 units, and all he has is stim/conc shell and ghosts. Not even 1 medivac was built this game. Just tier1/2 units.
The last fight starts, I have a 17 food advantage:
-I should have spread my army out and not 1Ad. Don't say it, cause trust me, this loss killed me. I knew if I had 1a2a3a'd (like my sig) I would have won this fight and ultimately the game. However, the ramifications of this are annoying to me because of the following:
1. EMP Raped my army. It was simply rape. No question. My chargelots were vaporized, my immortals, vaporized, everything, just destroyed. I got EMPd before I could storm so my templar was useless. (THANKS BLIZZ FOR 10 EMP RANGE). He had 0 medivacs, yet my tier1/2/3 army was unable to even hinder his push.
2. He 1Ad. This is really annoying. Terran is awarded for 1A play, whilst my army positioning and micro needs to be pristine. This is so vulgar. I do not appreciate having to play with this handicap. Basically terran micro can be nonexistant, and still win.
3. Stim. After blowing up my nat, he was able to power into my base in seconds. This army composition by him has such absurd DPS. It is just absurd. Like I said, its vulgar.
Thoughts on winning:
Yea I could have won by spreading out. I also should have ghost sniped with feedback. A few more gateways would definitely have helped. Yes, these would have been my keys to victory.
Final Thoughts:
I obviously outplayed this guy. His final push was literally a 1A. He cut SCVs for the entire second half of the game. He didn't make a single SCV after the first fight, meanwhile adding 3 more rax. Ghosts are the most ridiculous unit, and I believe that EMP should have to be researched. This is the strongest, highest DPS 1base push in the game, in any matchup (PvT, 5rax Ghost). This game really goes against the spirit of starcraft. My macro lead didn't do anything, and I probably would have been better off actually NOT expanding, lol. After the game I watched the replay, and for the first time ever I wasn't beating myself up. I said "well, I 1Ad, but so did he.. I macrod better, but he won..". This game left me speechless and really makes me want to express how stupid the Mule mechanic is, and how cheap the tier1/tier2 terran army. With his 29 SCVs on 1base he was able to literally just power forward on 1base the entire game. I talked to him after the game, and we played a few rematches and I won EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. It just goes to show that terran can still win despite being outplayed alot of the time, and 1base play is really really managable for bad players who are still in diamond.
I really don't like 1base terran pushes, and it goes against the spirit of starcraft. All of the lessons we learn about macro in starcraft are counteracted by terran, and it makes mid-diamond level players like myself really frustrated when going against players of lower skill levels. Yes, I 1A'd, but so did he. Yes, I didn't macro 100% efficiently, neither did he (by a long shot). His build will just completely roll over any protoss army that doesn't have more than 1 templar (we need multiple feedbacks/storms). I don't like that the ghost, a tier2 unit, is as good/better than the high templar. It really frustrates me and I have no patience for terran 1base scum. It is not fair, it is vulgar. PvT is a balanced matchup at the highest levels though. But for the rest of us, we will have fun losing to terribad 40apm terrans until we learn to overcome every single obstacle to beating them.
Thanks for reading.
(oh and I was going to do a drop until I saw his sensor tower which literally gave him vision of 6900000 miles of airspace behind his base...rofl.)

Didn't watch the rep... but based on your post - I'm a little unclear on the last fight. Did he just 1A or did he use EMP and stim? You said both.
If you have higher APM - how he was able to EMP your templar (faster than you could storm him), get better position, and use multiple abilities (stim/emp) to win?
If you are the better player... then you have to let this loss go by. You'll win the majority of the time, but sometimes your opponent will get lucky. However, if he actually out micro'd you in moments where it really mattered... then he deserves the win.
--
On a side note:
Looking at the mechanics of Terran and Protoss... I really don't understand how one would take more effort than the other. I'm diamond 1v1 and 2v2... most of my teammates are Protoss and they swear it is the easiest race to play. Warp stuff in anywhere, walk up cliffs, observers see everything, proxy voidrays FTW, etc.
And really, when you see players like Huk and Tester often dominating the best Terrans in the world... you have to wonder if there is really any imba issues in TvP. I haven't seen anybody at the highest levels even suggesting that. It's all ZvT issues... but low-level Protoss seem to be jumping on the bandwagon without reason.
EDIT: Watching the OPster banning everyone is kind of sad. What is the point in asking for feedback if you are going to reject anything people post? Do you just want everyone to agree with you? Oh wait, they wont... because TvP isn't imba. You already said exactly what you could have done to easily win... so what is the point of the thread?
Ignore "food" and "APM" stats... you already know a lack of micro is what lost you this game.

Seems like all six times you wrote the word 'vulgar' you really wanted to write 'imba' instead. You put so much effort into your post that I would have watched the replay if someone didn't jack my laptop (and more importantly the sc2 installation on that laptop)
|
Watch the replay if you want to contribute. EMP has a higher range than Templar, how exactly is my APM going to bridge the gap?
welcome to the ban list for the blog useless poster.
|
You did not play better if you lost.
Get that in your brain.
|
I've lost to Terrans with 50-100 apm while mine is 250... (according to sc2gears). APM really means so much less when you play vs Terran. Not that my decision-making was perfect or even necessarily good, but T is seriously too easy to play...

The reason I write vulgar is because its beatable, just not at an equal skill level. If you gave me two starcraft gamers of equal skill the terran would win more because their race does not require as much attention to detail or precision.
If it was imba then Huk wouldn't be able to beat it. But Huk can, I just can't cause I'm not a top player.

Useless post, thanks. If the game was perfectly balanced this logic would hold, but it doesn't. Stay away from my blog. Thanks

Your food advantage is irrelevant because Terran T1 is more efficient than Protoss T1-2. That's how it works, and the tradeoff is that T's later tiers can't match P. I'll watch the rep when I get home and give you some real comments, but here are my impressions:
Your harvester advantage isn't as relevant because you're investing in tech as much as units. It also means your supply advantage isn't in army count. Being caught teching to t3 is also P's huge weak point, because you have neither the force of mass T1.5/T2, or the power of T3. I lost a game similar to you yesterday around the 1300 level where I 1gate FE'd and got caved in by a 1base bio/ghost push. I do agree that Terran 1base is pretty damn ridiculous, but let's not dwell on that.
The second battle you mention you were caught by emp (on every ht? how many did you have), and still engaged, being destroyed. FB is pretty good but it can't always work due to range/positioning, but if you're emp'd for the love of god don't still try to fight, warpgate more hts and regroup if possible. You can throw away zeals if it means you get new hts to fight with.

So its the game's fault you lost?

Before the final battle, you had every single one of your units in a ball, which literally asks a terran player to emp your entire army. If you used more effective spacing of your units, the EMPs would have been less effective, and your unit count advantage would have fully expressed itself.

Yes. Because EMP>Storm, and MM > Chargelots/Stalkers/Sentries, by a large margin. That is stupid.
Thanks, another ban

I literally typed that like 8 times. Nice reply, read the OP before you post next time

more APM does not equal better play.. lol such a BW statistic.. I cant recall how many 300+ APM zergs ive beaten on BW with my 150 apm..
From what it looks like, you just played bad. Stop making excuses, and learn to counter it better. Im a protoss player myself, and dont really have any issues vs terran. I wouldnt mind a marauder nerf, sure, but I dont lose games solely because of that, if I lose its because I fucked up. Thats how you should think too, like this game you clearly played worse, therefor you lost.

I see it once in the OP, and only in passing between you blaming EMP, terran 1a, etc. for the loss.
Moreover, to bring in a BW analogy, a lot of lower level terrans had trouble with protoss seeing as they needed very good tank placement, mine placement, etc. and all protoss had to do was move his army in when he thought he had an advantage.
The moral of the story is, this hurdle is another obstacle you have to overcome in your play, and you'll improve more rapidly versus your opponent seeing as you can attribute something outside of balance to your loss (the spreading of your army, or at least I think you attribute some of this to it), and you'll grow as a player, whereas the terran will run into a wall when E-T-1a doesn't work anymore.
Take this as a learning experience.

But this player fucked in 3-4 different ways which I showed you empirically with numbers from the game, whilst my only fuck up was balling up (which he did too, rofl).
1A terran = acceptable
1A Toss or zerg = Not Acceptable
Until that mechanic changes I cannot take this game seriously or even call TvX remotely balanced. 40APM is really, really low by the way. Its bad.

It's a lot harder to emp every ht in a P ball (and you should be massing the suckers as much as possible) than it is to drop an emp in the middle, the side, or the general vicinity of a bioball. You can very easily pre-target FBs when engaging (you saw where his army was, yes?), so T has to be absolutely precise with that 1 range or lose all his ghosts.
I don't think emp breaks storm, what it does it let T not get 1at'd by P (which, ironically, is exactly what you complained about him doing in the earlygame).

This is quite true, but while I do like learning about these things, I also agree that the better player should win, and its frustrating playing against these allins on 1base. Mules are really, really annoying.

Hey guys I can spam really hard and claim that I have massive APM and use that as a reason to complain/call imba when i lose!

I had 1 templar dude. Like I said, if he attacked like a minute later I would have won because of the 6+ templars I would have had. Unfortunatly protoss tier3 takes a year to make, meanwhile terran tier1/tier2 gives tier3 a run for its money.
Stupid mechanic, stupid matchup. Ghosts are a lame unit.

The game won't change based on the existence of this blog. You, however, can adapt and learn in spite of what you perceive as balance problems. If these problems do get fixed, you'll still have the skills you learn, while 1 base terrans everywhere will have to learn a new style to even compete at the same level.
To give full disclosure, I'm T, ~1100, but I hate 1basing seeing as I played BW and borrowed the majority of my terran style from what I learned playing that game.

Its part of the function. Its not the only reason I claimed he was bad, it was the culmination of his mistakes in relation to mine. Have fun on the ban list for being a total idiot and posting nonsense.

losing to a guy with 50 apm means you're flat out terrible, not that terran is "imba"

I dont know what everyone else is trying to prove but even my little brother can press Stim, A move then emp random locations with a ridiculous 10 range. you also shouldnt bring up apm in sc2 it means so little.

APM is still a valid statistic when you are doubling your opponent's APM. Also, 40 is just way too low to do anything but macro inside of your little 1base fortress as terran
And yea I agree, terran micro is just obnoxiously easy. I really dislike how easy it is to maneuver.

I didn't read your post beyond a certain point, but i just want to badger you. Don't throw up a rage thread and berate everyone that finds your blog immature or awful.

1 templar doesn't really constitute t3, because stim will dodge the single storm. Essentially, you spent 400/550 to be able to cast one storm, and didn't manage to get it off. Pardon the obvious, but that's bad. If you had more hts on the way, then you chose an awful time to engage. If you didn't choose the engagement timing (sorry I can't watch the rep at work, I'll get back to you on it), then T had the timing to break you when you didn't have your tech running.
Ghosts are excellent units (sadly, most Ts on the ladder either don't use them or use them badly), but you can't really complain about ghost vs ht - you can reinforce hts with storm much faster than he can reinforce ghosts, and when he cut medivacs to push you early, this matters a huge amount. Furthermore, emp'd hts are not useless vT (archons are amazing), while a feedback'd ghost is down for good.
This is glossing over the entire fact that you scouted 1 base bio/ghost and went HTs, which are not only slower to come out than colossi, but at huge risk in small numbers from ghosts.
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I agree that T 1base is a little too good. But even in BW if you expanded, rushed tech and then got 1 ht out you'd get roflstomped by something like 3fac by T. Either you mass units, or get the tech out in time to make a difference, you got caught in the middle.
|
You're confusing balance with difficulty. Just because a race can be more difficult to play doesn't mean its imbalanced. Also, the difference between someone with 50 and 100 apm is not really significant since both are enough to play sufficiently but not high enough to multitask extremely well. Furthermore, its commonly acknowledged that protoss lategame is stronger than terran lategame.
|
Man I seriously hate to be harsh but in the actual combat your CURRENT apm were pretty much even (120-160 x 120-160) and in the very-end his was a little higher, u can even say ur better macroer, but if your point of view is apm alone, you have to read current and not average, since his was pretty much at 20 in the begining ....

This. You make a thread, which invites people to comment on you, and then when they do you berate them, tell them they're an idiot and are going to get banned, when they definitely aren't trolling.
First, a couple of points wrong with your posts:
1.APM =/= skill. don't have the replay(reinstalling as of now) but differences can easily be attributed to spamming constantly, or him just having good "mental checklist." Remember day9's story of his friend constantly defeating korean pros whilst only having like 75 apm or so?
2. Average of 5 extra food? That's not much man. Micro will make the difference in those battles. It's like even if I, as zerg, have superior ling number and food supply, early reapers will still pwn me with sufficient micro, or lack of thereof from me.
3.It seems to me he was going for an (almost) all in, correct? You had expanded, and he was running low on minerals now, no? He had made no scvs after the first fight, and if you had known this(could have realized that he had no more scvs building or command center), just started to defend.
4.The tier three you chose (HT's) are incrediably micro dependant and if you know he has ghosts(which you had an observer) you SHOULD'VE spread out those forces. You admitted so as well. Basically, when he EMPED your HT's, you have no tier three units(as ht's are now useless.) Everyone knows how deadly infantry pushes, especially with ghost, are against toss. You NEED to have good micro.
Overall, it WAS the final push that killed you. But keep in mind that was an all in, and while contemplating this should remember this key fact:
1.If you were doing an attack and lost, you still could've won(expansion)
2. If he was doing an attack and lost, he lost.
|
A food count differential of 17 at that phase of the game is not something huge. You're saying all these things as if they are something monumental when they really aren't. And lashing out at other posters when they post criticisms that are rather valid and obvious to some extent? You're just a sore loser.
|
Bear with me here. First, you didn't say "u2" when he GL HF you.
I took a bunch of notes while looking at your replay, so I'll just post them here:
early twilight council (8:45) idle
1st battle 10:08
terran: 13 marauders 6 marines = 32 pop (+1 weapons)
protoss: 7 zealot 1 immortal 3 stalkers 7 sentries = 38 pop
end of battle 10:50
terran: 1 marauder 1 marine 2 ghosts: 7 pop
protoss: 2 immortal 1 zealot 1 stalker 4 sentries = 20 pop
2nd battle 14:32
terran: 12 marauder 18 marine 3 ghosts: 48 pop (+1 weapons/+1 armor)
protoss: 15 zealot 2 immortal 3 stalker 5 sentries 1 high templar: 56 pop
end of battle 14:51
terran: 6 marauder 11 marine 2 ghosts: 37 pop
protoss: 0
if you built robo bay at 10:50 (600 min 260 gas at the time) you could have had colossus out around 13:00, even earlier with chrono boost
at 12:00, still 4 gate versus his 5 rax. you knew he was 1 base all-in. (1/1 ugprades to your 0/0)
terran macro > protoss macro. from end of first battle to start of second battle, your army grew 36 pop, terran army grew 41 pop. this is the direct result of terran beating you with 5 rax over your 4 gate.
around 12:40, after your nat was saturated, your income is constantly around 400 more than terran
around 12:50, chrono boosted eco even when you saw his mm+ghost ball with your obs. STILL 4 GATE
around 13:20, your income is DOUBLED terran. STILL 4 GATE (3 gates on CD and almost 500 minerals)
during battle 2, you chose to fight him head on, even though you had the advantage of being able to surround. talking about your two ramps between the nat. facing head on is bad news. wide open spaces = bad.
ur main army go up right ramp, produced units come down base ramp.
you knew his minerals was exhausting. this was last ditch effort. should've played it safe and held off on facing his army until you produced more.

one should remember that even in BW, a P needed to be one base ahead and have about 25+ food count advantage to be on even terms with Terran

But I have 140 apm as Terran and still lose sometimes to my 70-80apm Protoss friend (1100-1200 Diamond).
Top Euro protoss players: Socke has 110 apm and is better than Naniwa who has 220 apm. So....
