Basically the idea is that "If you can't avoid imba threads and discussion, let's openly embrace it and have them fight it out"

They have a poll system from March(!) showing you how people voted. They also mark patch dates and certain events (like ogs winning with 7 zerg wins, etc)

You vote for the race you think is the weakest and needs a boost.

Red = Zerg, Terran = Green, Protoss = Blue, None = Purple

I just thought it was cool so I wanted to share

This is awesome, totally approve

Pretty funny how terran is almost consistently the least complained about, P the most (although Z is now overtaking)

For some odd reason, when i see koreans polls showing me imbalance, I actually dont think of it as noob whining. But when I see a zerg imba thread on TL...

actually a really interesting graph to show overtime how the game has progressed since development. Really shows how all those Terran buffs changed everyones mind

Despite its called a "whine" graph it probably is helpful for Blizzard to look at to investigate whether there is actually something wrong or not.

Hehe that is pretty neat data. I'm also interested in the number of people taking the poll daily, as a rough indicator of popularity.

8% jump after today's GSL games. Gee I wonder why. Maybe it's because they let Z have a free 14 hatch every game? Nope can't be that.

Still I'm surprised to see 52% rate for P and the fact that some zergs still complain about things after the last patch.

I guess this only shows that SC2 as a game is still in its infancy, and HUGE swings can occur. If anything, the game is just as unbalanced as it was right after launch (with T dominance) if not more.

Yeah, I love how people complained about Terran but at the PEAK it was like 8-9% people thought terran was weakest, and within a couple weeks of this patch, now Zerg only has 9% of people thinking its the weakest.

People should really look at this more, its ridiculous.
