Like you guys realize Flash and Last are badly skewing the vT win rates, and they have approximately the same win rates in TvT as they do in TvZ and TvP - meaning it's a result of the players being OP, not the race? The data only shows that players do poorly against Flash and Last, not vs. Terran in general. Yank their games against those two players and everyone's win rate vs Terran looks completely reasonable. | ||

There has never been a ZvT specialist. ZvT specialist meaning having significantly higher winrates in ZvT than other matchups (apart from short bursts of dominance when new builds are discovered). We have TvZ specialists, ZvP, TvP, PvT, hell even PvZ (Bisu). But there has never been a Zerg successfully being a ZvT specialist at the highest level over long periods of time. Closest we've had during the last 10 years was when Jaedong broke onto the scene, but that honeymoon was soon over. Ever since then ZvT has been Jaedong's worst matchup just like virtually any other Zerg ever. | ||

 YellOw[ArnC]'s He even kicked Flash out of the MSL of 2008 by defeating him 2 times in a row. (I think that's just before Flash became the ultimate weapon. However still Flash and Flash was good before winning medals too.) | ||

Boxer era player. A legend who was good at 1 base plays but lost 10 of his last 15 ZvTs. There's a reason I said "last 10 years" because at some point it's like a different game. But fair point. | ||

Compare the number of TvZ specialists to the number of ZvT specialists. | ||

ZvZ: 58% ZvP: 55% ZvT: 66% From 2004-2007 he averaged a 72% win ratio vs. Terran and a 61.5% win ratio vs. everything else. Savior reached bonjwa status on the back of his vT specifically. And yes if you're looking for a more modern player Yarnc is a good example. See above, Yarnc is not Yellow. On February 03 2017 01:07 kogeT wrote: Jaedong with 63% winrate. Savior 66%! | ||

Jaedong's ZvZ and ZvP are insane, he only lost a single BO5 ZvP in his entire career. If ZvT wasn't in the game I'm pretty sure he'd be heralded as the unrivalled eternal bonjwa to out-bonjwa all other bonjwas who ever played the game. | ||

ZvT specialists are barely even a thing, and that's saying something. Compare it to the number of other specialists. Terrans are always the thorn in Zerg's side.

If ZvT wasn't in the game I'm pretty sure he'd be heralded as the unrivalled eternal bonjwa to out-bonjwa all other bonjwas who ever played the game. Savior and Yarnc are both under your arbitrary 10 year line. Plus everything from about 2012 on doesn't even really count if we're talking about pro records. If you're literally only talking about "Modern" zergs then Yarnc definitely fits the bill. You're absolutely right that Terran is not commonly a zerg player's best matchup but it's dishonest to claim that no zergs existed who dominated Terrans. It happened, and they were not fluke players with tiny sample sizes. | ||

I'm checking TLPD and Savior's numbers between January 1st 2004 and January 1st 2008 are ZvT: 96-65 (59.63%) ZvZ: 54-39 (58.06%) ZvP: 77-30 (71.96%) So I don't get where your numbers are coming from.

It's much easier to cry imba than it is to improve yourself or admit that you're wrong. Cmon dude you're contributing less than the guys you're talking about. There ARE legitimate balance discussions that can be had. There is no competitive game/sport in which balancing odds and making things fair isn't a huge part of the discussion. There are notable imbalances in the game right now and there's nothing wrong with just talking about it. | ||
