Sure, there wasn't many legendary protoss switching like Nada and Boxer, but even with that, it just feeling wrong. Not sure if it is because of patch or because the way Blizzard made protoss in this game. I.e. can roflstomp the opponent, or can die very easily as well. The units are very expensive and if you do a mistake with them, it will be a very expensive one. As opposed to cheaper armies of terran and zerg, and thus, allowing to lose more of them without as much hurt.
I find Inca, Genius, MC (dunno how the hell he lost) and tester (even tho he didnt make to gsl 2) awesomely good P players ....

Yes, that's completely true. Games that are not balanced piss me off Brood War really spoils gamers when it comes to balance...

"games that are not balanced piss me off" yet you made 0 posts about Zerg when they had 2 tournament wins compared to Terrans 78 or whatever it was.
Now the latest patch is out like a week? And you start a massive thread claiming Zerg is now obviously too powerful. It's blatantly obvious you're just being partisan and whining because things just got hard for YOU personally.

some random posts i've made in other threads:
cool is probably my favorite SC2 progamer in korea right now. And i'm a Terran player lol just too damn good. TOOO...FUCKING...GOOD!!! He plays ZvT how it's meant to be played, plays infestor mid-game just like SC1 defilers, to delay and stall until he has mass ultras - hell, sometimes he even wins with ling/infestor/roach. good stuff.

P and T have a different macro mechanic than zerg. Therefore, EXPLOIT the shit out of it. Unlike P and T, zergs can't macro as well as make units. Trading armies with the zerg is what you want the zerg to do. Keep those larva on producing zerglings and low tier units as long as possible. Then crush the zerg when you know you have the econ advantage. It's the only way to win a macro game with a zerg.

Well I noticied in a few recent replays where FruitdealeR gets rolled by some basic harass followed by some drops. Late game terran has just evolved into mining out your main and expansion, then trying to secure 1-2 PF whilst dropping everywhere, exchanging cheap marines for whatever you can. The zerg will continue to exchange its more expensive army with your cheaper army. But in most cases the zerg army crushes the terran army (unless hes being really outplayed early game).
Terran now is all about some small harass, grabbing expos when you can, and then harass until your opponent quits

Honestly, I agree with the OP that Zerg seems stronger than Terran right now, whether that's the result of balance or play-style though, I have no idea.

all I have to say is watch nadas game vs leenock on shakuras. I never see terrans playing this strong macro style when they have the means to defend every fucking expansion so well, keep one/two basing and you will keep losing. that is all.

You have it all wrong. Terrans really have trouble getting map control, and a lot of times end up getting stuck on two bases after all their little harrasses are absorbed and the Zerg re-drones.
And when that doesn't happen and you see the Terran on two base, use common sense. Terran cannot beat Zerg in a late game macro game - that's why you see a lot of "good terrans" staying on two base, because they know if the game goes any longer they will lose guaranteed.

terrans dont have trouble getting map control YOU have trouble getting map control. Please dont generalize, I'm rank 1 in my bronze league and i have absolutely no problems vs zerg so you can rest assured i know what im saying.

Yeah, four Terrans in the Ro8... Someone must be furiously kneading their prayer beads and hoping that Zenio takes it all so that he doesn't look foolish.

He also plays T. He has as much reason to be biased for his own race, if not more than you, because he has a career set on it. Even if the game is totally unbalanced, if you have a job dependent on it, anyone would definitely claim "the game is 100% balanced" for his own benefit. You don't have as strong as a reason to be as biased as Boxer but you're still human and selfish. I'm sure if T started out 2000 minerals while the other races started out with the usual 50, I wouldn't be surprised if you tried to justify it with the most ridiculous reasoning by saying that "T needs the MOST minerals because it's the LEAST cost efficient race!" or something like that lol, especially knowing what kind of stuff you've been spouting
Seeing as how this thread isn't closed, Im starting to believe that the higher-ups in TL overlook their own no balance discussion rule if it happens to be a certain belief that they like hearing
