That plays a big part, shinee has like 20 accounts in top 200, so does scan. the other players don't seem to have as many as them.

MMR doesn't mean anything.

Part of the reason this is true is that Terran streamers are likely the most active outside of Bisu, Larva and JD.

Flash must have like 10 accounts in the Top 50 too.

Balance patch incoming lol. Seriously though I think they could tweak a few things without damaging the game.

Terran is fucked up in low skill but is to good at top skill, hard to balance a true master race

Yes please! Lets balance BW with the same principle we balance sc2! 30% top ladder distribution for every race and equal tournament performance! Trust Blizzard in balancing this!


Please, no.

The numbers are shocking, but people can own multiple accounts which makes it less relevant. The game is still constantly changing, with new strategies and meta's. The bio->factory transition in TvZ that was super "overpowered" in 2017 is barely used anymore. Protoss are having more success with aggressive reaver plays, Zerg are finally utilizing burrow, queens, devours etc.

The game has changed a lot in the last year, and the last two ASL/KSL's were won by zerg. Keep tweaking the maps for every season, it has worked for the last 20 years.

Using ladder to assess race balance is moronic. No pro player takes ladder seriously, and the ones that play the most end up on top, as opposed to the best ones.

You think pros bring their A game to ladder? You think they show their secret strats, like when Soulkey took a ninja 3rd in the KSL finals and transferred a ton of drones to trick Sharp? Of course not. They just do the bread and butter for fun, and do troll strats a lot.

Not to mention pros off-race on ladder all the time.

my balance test patch is like this:
each command centre starts with 1 lift off rocket
each next lift offs costs 25+ minerals

pros don't play much ladder since they have spons against other pros.

Why run ladder games and play with people much lower skill when they can play for showmatch spon matches for $$$ in competitive setting?
