Actually, we should only look at the most recent games. The time fram you gave is large enough and I do remember Protosses dominating everything for a while which affects the statistics.
If it was 216-160 (made up this numbers now) and now it's 216-200 for example then it might seem like P's are doing fine while in reality they don't.

We have to wait a month or two to get to any real conclusions. All the maps and meta-game must pass the "beginning of a season" unpredictability and when it goes stable we'll be able to gather enough data.

Well, we all know it goes in cycles, if it comes out even after 2 years, doesn't that support the idea that the recent Z>P trend is just temporary?

YES IS DOES, WHICH IS WHAT I WROTE IN THE OP ASFBYUASFBSAIUFHAB

motbob if you agree its just a temporary trend you have a completely different idea of what "imbalanced" means than everyone else in the starcraft playing world.

I really think a game patch that allows you to unwarp templars from archons while it's still building would help a LOT.

You can't? Since people have been glitching DTs through by morphing them. Or is this only for DA but not for Archon? In this case, that's quite dumb.

You can't unmorph either kind of archons. The huge ball of energy must have something to do with being unable to come back.

Maybe it's like mixing urine and wine. Once you start, there's no coming back.

You simple have more than two DTs and then morph two of them, hopefully glitching some of the remaining ones up.

There is a fucking thread about ZvP imbalance while there are no threads about TvZ imbalance? Unacceptable. TvZ is the most imba matchup (favor of T of course) and the statistics I quoted reflect it. What the hell is 248-200? It's like saying, Hey I switched my race to Z, come kill me Terrans

Why is everyone crying about problems that don't exist...

SC isn't even possibly or conceivably imbalanced until the highest possible levels of play (Korean progamer level), which means it doesn't affect you.

Look at GomTV Classic Season 2. Nothing but Protoss, In fact it where Bisu asserted his dominance over zergs by defeating Jaedong

seems pretty balanced to me..


That's cool, you are giving him shit for compaing random players to the pro scene. Oh wait then you're sourcing ICCup D games to prove map balance at the pro scene.

I posted that against his very first OP, until he edited it up saying he was only talking about the pro scene. Before he edited it, he was just complaining about overal 'imbalance'

Bisu never beat JD that GOM season.

(He then proceeded to lose to JD in the special event)

I reckon the feeling of Z>P comes partly from the fact that besides Bisu (and perhaps Kal?) I dont think there has ever been a dominant protoss (that actually got anywhere in MSL/OSL) that reliably beat zergs at that level. I certainly cant remember Nal_Ra, Reach etc being the given winner against Z's, but I do admit that my memory might be skewed.

In the end its always going to to be hard to say what the exact problem is, but when I play the MU (at very, very low level) it seems I have to cover for so many things, while the Zerg doesnt ever have to be all that surprised, at least in the early game. If I dont go Fexp my options are quite clear and counterable, even if scouted a bit late, if I go fexp my options are quite predictable aswell. As far as I know Bisu's been the only one having regular succes against high class Zergs, and that seems to stem more from incredible control on multiple fronts (harass etc) then from just having a "sollution" that everyone can use.
I'm a man of my word, and that word is "unreliable".

I remember asking about it in the thread when Bisu morphed the HT to save them, but got slaughtered for having no storms, with everyone saying no that's not possible.
I think the possibility of being able to morph an Archon to save the HTs from the Mutas and then unmorphing them when the mutas go away is huge, it's a very minor change that won't affect anything else but this, and would make PvZ more balanced.
