So because they can't get to a final for once their race is awfully underpowered?

10% Terran?

I've never heard about this. From what I've seen on the EU ladder (1000 point masters), there is a pretty even distribution of the races.

As you can see, it seems pretty even overall. There is a slight bias towards Zerg in Grandmasters, but who's to say thats due to imbalance?
As someone who played on NA and now plays on EU regularly, I can say that the NA ladder is really Zerg biased, but the EU ladder is surprisingly balanced in terms of race distribution. Maybe you have bad luck, I don't know.

I sometimes wonder if by now all balance whine bullshit should get an own subforum. Seriously guys, the game might not be 100% perfect but this amount of crying is absolutely too much.

Now to stay on topic: Doesn't surprise me at all about the distribution if you look who actually plays Code S. Most of the Terrans are around since quite some time and absolute high caliber players.

Terran is probably the most represented race among the pros in Korea, and also a lot of those terrans are just top players. Not sure if this is relevant.

All of these do show evidence that zergs are winning a lot of big tournaments and stuff.

all you have to do is watch a game and see how many expansions are lost / denied, workers killed, structures destroyed - and to see one particular race still win the game without any huge mistakes given by the opponent.

(also the fact that mvp hasn't won every game is proof that the game is imbalanced)

win rates and stats don't signify much.you can draw a limited conclusion from it. but if a player whom is 70% better, has only a win rate of 50%. That's fair, because the win-rates are even?......lol

I think we should focus less on who is winning were and what race is winning more and on why it is happening. I think everyone, including myself feel that the infestor needs some work. Imbalance or not its a bad unit.. or rather fungal is a bad ability. It requires some skill to use but its way to unforgiving to get caught in.

I cant for my life understand why blizzard doesnt just try a small change here and there. I dont think they should do anything drastic in WoL.. save that for HoTS BUT tweak the numbers a bit here and there. say fungals does 10-20% less damage. Say it stuns for 3s instead of 4, say it costs 100energy. Its pretty obvious its a bit to good as of now so why not just try and nerf it a bit.

Then to clarify, if one unit is a bit to good doesnt make an entire race OP. The game is alot more complex then this. But now Z winratios has been pretty damn high for a long time in the lategame so I really feel they should atleast try something.

But, there is nothing worse then unconstructive balance whine likek "zerg OP!!" etc. It helps nothing and only makes people less keen to post seriously on these forums. In all honesty, we had 2 terrans in the semis in GSL S5 so its not THAT critical even if I do think there is some unbalance.. note THINK, its not an exact science so dont act like you know shit you dont.

And yes, im a zerg.

Also, the skill level of the top players are so close that even 1 unit being OP can make a huge difference. Thors, ghosts, BF hellions were all nerfed very quickly once they were shown to be OP.

Problem is many constructive posts and threads have been made. But it seems Blizzard's response is "At the highest level, everything is balanced" and "We will look at infestors by changing the HP of infestor eggs and test this on Antiga without force cross spawns and gold mineral patches". If they are going to balance for the top level players, why aren't they using maps being played at the top level?



The unconstructive whines are basically just frustration at the situation.
