How can you say "IdrA never stops whining" when literally every OTHER zerg says the same?



Because every other zerg either tries to find a way around their issues or deals with it in a constructive manner. He is about the only person that just constantly bitches and whines like a little kid.

I've always been amused that people have used that as some sort of argument against IdrA. IdrA complained about things back in the beta that were nerfed... things that have been released have been nerfed countless times. Just because he keeps complaining and you don't like it doesn't make all the things he's said have been incorret.

It might make him sound like a broken record, but that doesn't suddenly mean the validity of many of his complaints have been wrong.

That being said, IdrA was asked a question in an interview and he gave his opinion. He didn't randomly created a thread on teamliquid complaining about balance or calling out protoss users. There is a difference between unsolicited whining and answering a question.

idra not confident against avenge but saying he would win against huk ? where is the logic

because Idra knows Huk is a macro-based player instead of some 2base all-iner or some gimmicky player


Which is funny because he used to always refer to him as the exact opposite. ^___^

i get idra has issues with protoss, but statistically the matchup is around 55/45 in protoss's favor, according to GSL november results counting code s, code a and up&down matches, and that's just looking at the liquipedia statistics, not even breaking it down to the varying strategies for each player.

I think the problem with balance discussions in the PvZ matchup are that people on both sides of this fence play someone every once in a while that buttrapes them so hard that they are left dumbfounded as to what they could have done better.

Idra probably wins the majority of his ZvP, but when he loses, he loses hard. He analyses his games and is perhaps unable to determine why he lost and concludes imbalance instead of looking harder.

My personal perspective is as follows:

Did you kill his quick third?
Yes - I'll probably win
No - GG

Did you read the post I quoted? What makes Idra's opinion invalid is that his opinion has always stayed the same regardless of how well Zerg has been doing against Protoss, in Korea or elsewhere.

Quoting David Kim from the Q&A from the community in Jan 25th 2012:
"Forge Fast Expand is Difficult to Stop as Zerg

This is something we discussed at BlizzCon as well. The new units we’re bringing in should allow zerg to play more aggressively versus players who are defending heavily with little intention of attacking in the early/mid game. For now, we believe this isn’t a game breaking issue because overall, zerg is performing well against protoss. In fact, zerg is not struggling at any level of play, and their win ratio compared to skill is extremely solid at every skill level."
Source: David Kim's Q&As

So according to David Kim who is the game balance designer, what Idra said about "zerg can't beat protoss" is not true.

This is true. Humans apparently tend to remember negative experiences more vividly than positive ones. ...I remember hearing that somewhere...don't remember where. I wonder why that is...

It's like if you ask IdrA and Artosis how balanced brood war is they will say Toss is OP and Terran is UP

It would be really fascinating it this happened. If he thinks zerg early game scouting/ability to react is bad...
