But in the end it all evens out. so there is no imba, only stages of dominance, that is followed with stages of weakness.

it's a cycle. yes i did read the op- my words don't seem to affect your logic, i was hoping that numbers would.

That list has everything to do with what i am trying to tell you. but you brushed it off. i am done wasting time with this.

I AGREE WITH YOU GODDAMN IT WOULD PEOPLE READ THE FUCKING OP PLEASE

I AGREE THAT THE MATCHUP WILL EVEN OUT EVENTUALLY

I EVEN EDITED THE OP TO REFLECT THAT FACT

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
calm down dude, it's just a thread on the internet

^ ^ ^ If I could post something that said just LOL, I would have done that.
But in its place, I put this post here.

Bisu V Jeadong spoiler:
+ Show Spoiler +
In a world of Protoss that could play like Bisu curb stomping Jaedong the other night, the discussion would be reversed. Starcraft is a reflection of the skill of the player. This is what makes it good. The "imballances" being map, race, or otherwise, are minimal enough to really not matter. Thats why its so great. Skill is the determining factor in victory.

To be fair about Bisu vs Jaedong...+ Show Spoiler +

Bisu played solidly, Jaedong played like garbage. It wasn't a match you can look at to decide these kinds of things.

Why did you change the first part of your OP? I definately don't agree. There are underlying imbalances with the races, I have no idea how anyone thinks there wouldn't be.

Maps can balance these out a bit but I think some of you people place WAY too much emphasis on maps.

Well, in my opinion it's possible to make a ~100% ZvP map between players of equal level. It's also possible to make a ~100% PvZ map. It follows that you can make a map of any balance you want, including 50%. I could be wrong, but I'm a total believer of the power of maps to correct imbalance.

Yeah, protoss needs to use this more or at least reavers.

most of maps aren't that good for sair/reaver these days. plus, most protoss players can't execute sair/reaver because it requires more multitasking and has less room for error.


Yeah it requires quite alot of micro and control which makes it a risky build. That's one thing I consider imbalanced with PvZ, the fact that protoss is so much more fragile.

One thing that's really annoying is when protoss makes all these fun strats with reaver/sair and what not and after playing around for a while zerg kills him with mass hydra. The simplicity in ZvP makes it a pretty clear-cut matchup as opposed to PvZ where protoss must be aware of tech switches and brutal flanks all the time. That's another reason why many of these big new maps sucks PvZ, because protoss is so easily flankable


WOW.
What is wrong with you. I have never seen anyone make so many contradicting replys in one thread before.

You keep saying maps does not change the balance, and at the same time you again and again brings up this example of big maps favoring zerg and saying big maps makes it too difficult for protoss.

Plz stop it, it makes my head explode.

if ur trying to say ' z is imba ' then your full of shit.
stop crying cos the easiest race to play got a bit more difficult.
the z still needs 2 play faster/smarter/better than a protoss ever would to keep up with even a lesser skilled opponent. (PROOF? go check apm's in progames. p has alot less, always.)

Yeah big maps favors zerg over protoss. However, regardless of maps protoss is still at an disadvantage in this matchup.

Check the replays for Bisu vs. anyone except Jaedong or by.hero.

Bisu has a higher APM than Zero and still loses to Zero quite often.

FYI: APM =/= skill =/= difficulty

You mean the whopping 2 months or so that it happened, in the 10 years of progaming history during which Protoss only won the OSL in the fall or sometimes not at all? Vaguely.
