Is this really imbalance or just poor play?
The Protoss literally sat back, defend, defend and starved me out. There was nothing I could do, drops were shut down easily by cannons hence I had no choice but to engage head on.

First I want to point you that the protoss knew all the time what you where doing for the entire game because of the observers while you knew 0 zero, nothing and he countered your army composition correctly. Big, adices: place a Sensor tower over your army rally point and a sensor tower on every base. It looks like a big investment but it's not because you float a lot of gas anyway and you will counter his scouting by a great margin. You had a whole lot of medivacs why not send a medivac every 2-3 minutes to fly all over the map to spot hidden bases, because as you see on the replay he had 2 bases of which you didn't know anything and a drop there would have cutted great his production. In your army of vikings you should add 2-3 ravens for their point defense drone to defend against the stalkers every battle. Macro wise you where fine in my opinion. But seeing his templar and colossus army I would have switched to more marauders and more ghosts and I don't understand today trend of not using siege tanks against protoss. | ||
