PVZ tech gets you all the prereqs fast, and an arbiter camped over a nexus like a corsair would cloak all toss' probes and templar helping against the muta harras. Or would that be to much wasted gas early on? | ||

Early game protoss BO is based on the zerg opening anyway. Zerg can just go pool first, and force toss to go forge->Nex->cannons before teching. OTOH, 14 Nex > 12 Hatch.

Not to mention arbiters are slow as hell to make. You can basically get DA + mass corsairs for the same price. | ||

I mean, in order to render them completely useless, Zerg would need a cheap, low-tech unit capable of taking down pylons really fast, while simultaneously by its very existence be a threat to the Protoss bases, forcing them to spend minerals on defenses. Additionally, this unit's name would have to start with 'zerg' and rhyme with 'ling'. Now where on earth would Zergs get that kind of unit? Good see D- players still sportin' their opinion. Keep it up! | ||

The thread is a joke, you can't just grab a few maps, look at recent results and say "lol imbalanced." If OP actually wants to prove something then what he should do is actually analyze winrates for zvp for the past 6 months or w/e, then compare this figure to TvZ and PvT to see if the win rate discrepancy is significantly (statistically speaking) higher than the other non mirror MUs. If it is in fact imbalanced then the OP should then search for variables that would skew the data (for example, let's say JaeDong accounted for 20% of all zerg wins or something, this doesn't mean zvp is imba, it just means jaedong is ridiculously good lol. Or if for an unusually long period of time certain coaches sent out very new, weak protoss players, a number significantly higher than zergs, who all lost an extremely high % of their games. There are many outside variables that would have to be checked for in order for ZvP to be acually declared "imbalanced"). | ||

I'm saying 1, your sample size is bad, 2, when something that looks very much like variance occurs in a set of data you ignore everything and jump to the conclusion that something is "imbalanced." If what you actually wanted to bring to attention at first is indeed variance then you should be using words like trends, shift, or whatever, and not "imbalance." Is this what all of your hostility in this thread comes from? The fact that I used one word instead of another? Fine. I wish I hadn't named this thread what I did. My sample size is most definitely big enough for this difference in zerg winrate to be statistically significant. Unfortunately, I've only been able to calculate winrate on individual maps, as TLPD doesn't allow you to sort by matchup when you're looking at all the matches in the database. | ||
