This is the current state of balance talk.

I found this funny while browsing threw the threads.

I don't get it.

Edit: Oh, didn't see what you circled. I was reading about the maps and was like... What does that have to do with balance?

How does a small selection of topics in the Strategy forum (NOT a "Balance Forum") all about ZvP have any relation to the state of balance of the game?

Right now I see 4/5 about PvP. Does this have any indication that PvP is unbalanced in favor of Protoss?

Is it something to be pointed out? perhaps
Does it suggest anything about balance? No

Currently I see a general Z, ZvT, 2 PvPs, and the Practice Partner Thread

Dude I don't know what you're talking about. Every PvP I've seen, the loser has been Protoss. I've never seen a game where the loser wasn't Protoss in PvP. Maybe what you say is the case in whatever league you're in, but up in the higher leagues / pro play, you'll notice that Protoss always manages to lose PvP. It's one of the biggest balance issues to date.

I thought this was going to be interesting, if not at least amusing. I'm sorry to say I was disappointed on both counts.

I thought it was that the point you were trying to make was that all of the comments in the PTR thread were about things other than balance

Obviously Blizz needs to understand that Gateway units melt against the Colossus. I'm so sick of losing all my Gateway units to these OP Colossus in PvP. Colossus should be nerfed IMO so Protoss can actually win in PvP.
Life is not about making due with what you have; it's about finding out just how much you can achieve. Never settle for anything less than the best. - - - Read my blog!
