This blog includes balance whine. You are warned, you may read below.

Come on, community? Really? Nobody saying anything? Nobody mentioning anything? Nobody?
Sad zealot club? SAD ZEALOT CLUB?
+ Show Spoiler +

Stephano taking every eu tournament there is. Others taken by Dimaga. Socke and Mana pwning all others.
MMA (rank 5) losing to OZ (>?!?#?!#? rank 4104101401450 )
MMA @ MLG zerg easy yo, riight....
MVP being DEMOLISHED by MC, HuK, NANIWA, LOSIRA and countless number of zergs or tosses with random timing attacks
Terrans having to struggle vs every toss player who doesn't leave his bases until minute 15 with a maxed 3/3 army while you are just finishing your 2/2 BECAUSE TOSS JUST CAN?
Tosses telling me that it is equally skill intensive to control zealot/ht/archon army and bio army?
People saying Terran is OP?
People saying that Ghost is STILL OP? Snipe being OP?
Zerg telling me that there is harder to control zerg army as compared to Terran in TvZ?


Am I getting it wrong, or everybody has gone mad?
+ Show Spoiler +

Zerg is totally imba, was for like months and probably will still be.
Toss bad performance was and still is due to terribly terribly bad players as compared to their Zerg/Terran counterparts. Solution: nerf Ghost so toss players can make only zealots. Why not give a zealot a bit more health? Like 100 health/100 shields?
Guys in threads (not mentioning names) telling that '2 marines can comfortably kill a zealot' and everybody agreeing?

While the general opinion of TL community is so different than mine, I feel that I will continue my membership only as a lurker as I don't otherwise know how to express my utter dismay of the state in which this beautiful game (sc2) is.

why do you find the game to be beautiful if you say it's so horribly balanced? Oo if it sucks, it sucks. there's no "it sooo good but it sucks soo hard", that just doesn't add up. -> get your head straight!

also play more qq less, if you overthink this stuff just because it's easy to rage about, it's just going to get worse

Since I play random on SC2, I noticed a few things. Now, keep in mind, I'm a noob to SC2, so I'm just giving my initial reactions to the game:

- The longer the game goes on, the more of a chance the Zerg has to win because their macro seems to crush the other two races in macro.

- I play random, and whenever I play against Zerg, I lose - except when I play ZvZ. This is mostly due to me being bad, but whenever I play Zerg, I rarely lose.

- Terran is really hard to play against Protoss.

Wait what!?

@OP u need to calm down. A game like this will go through different stages where players need to figure out how to beat certain things. And if not, blizzard can still make some changes.

Even BW have periods like this and that game pretty god damn old and is regarded as being fairly balanced by most people. I remember a while ago where Zerg NEVER won against Protoss but that changed when player started figuring things out and when other maps where populair.

Terran may be having a hard time right now but they have been on top for in other, and longer, periods so maybe chill out before balance whining.

Lol this is the worst argument I've ever heard! There's nothing constructive, nothing to prove the OP's point other than a couple of Terran's losing who won games before...

Poorly sourced, poorly written. Poor.

You did say this was a rage blog, so fair enough, rage away.

Hey, you know, there are other things you can do on TL besides balance whine. I see a large number of your posts are in the balance discussion thread, and you've already blogged about zerg being horrendously OP.

Shut the fuck up.

Edit: Oh yeah, you were the genius who wrote:

Ever since highschool I have liked chicks that my friends don't find attractive, or liked food combinations other people will find strange (peanut butter + yoghurt!). Interestingly enough, this 'seeing things differently' stuff did not make me very popular as I am also very outspoken, I used to often find myself in the situation where I am alone in an argument with 20 people.

and thought that "seeing things differently" somehow channeled into you having some unparalleled understanding of balance.
