So I recently decided to actually try to play some BW rather than just watch it and I have to say it's really sick that you can get games in <1 Minute in such an old game regardless of time of day (I can host). Also the game is so much fun, you learn a lot each game even if you loose (which you do a lot in the beginning). However, I have sadly noticed that nobody wants to play TvT. Is that just an issue on lower levels (currently managing to maintain a ~1000 rating) or is TvT just very unpopular in general? Really sucks only being able to play 2/3 of my matchups.

I have played quite a few tvt games during the last couple of days, didn't see any problem with that. You might want to find a friend or a partner that likes to play TvT
Speaking of levels, no. A lot of good Ts pick P if their opponent is T. So basically yes, the MU is unpopular.

Ah I see. Yeah it's not like I never get to play it, just that it's by far my least played atm. I have just noticed that quiet a bunch of people simply leave or ask you to offrace when they see that it'd be TvT. I just didn't have that happen with vZ or vP.

It is. ZvZ is worst match up ever and PvP is BW equivalent of SC2.

why is zvz the worst mu?
What is wrong with pvp so that many people dislike it too? Tediously microing your dragoons and reavers in shuttles is so enjoyable. + Show Spoiler +
have you seen this game

I'd really like to know why mirrors are misfavoured by many.

I think PvP is quite volatile BOs wise, e.g. Robo Obs vs Robo Shuttle Reaver vs DTs... so it's the lesser fun matchup for me.

Thats huge dynamic a paradoxicaly the biggest issue for me. Games tend to be fast, short and full of spamming lings and mutas (with occasional use of scourges). BO wins are common, strategy is downplayed by micro wars and endless spamming, luck seems to be a bigger factor than in TvT or PvP. Watching it was rarely exciting even when top Zergs were involved, and I remmember hating this MU when playing BW myself. This MU is for me an argument that its not a Terran a problem of BW, its the Zerg who is badly designed.
The truely exciting stage of play - hive-tech ZvZ, is incredibly rare.
