yes u can argue this but i believe zeal goon is relatively inefficient
therefore toss needs to mix in the high end units to remain competitive

or take the bisu route of taking advantage of the low actions required to play the basic protoss and use that extra apm to create so many threats that the t and z, already burdened by high actions required for basic play to cope with all these threats

a few points that I wanna throw about this post that was clearly inspired by nerdrage

1. what the fuck is so imba about DT rush? if you dont scout it and you dont prepare for it you will die, just like if i dont scout your 2fac and dont prepare for it i will also die.

2. So wait what your saying here is dt rushing is imba so its gay, but its ok for zerg to cheese?
Even if it is that imbalanced, suck it up princess, its not nearly as imbalanced as zvp used to be for 8 years, payback is a bitch huh?

3. In 70-80 games this season and around the same last season and a few seasons ago this has yet to happen to me.

4. if you got past D+ maybe you wouldnt get cheesed so much. But you probably never will.


1. DTs are the most overpowered unit in the game, they do more damage then battlecruisers and are permanently cloaked. If I could build permanently cloaked battlecruisers instead of wraiths It would be totally overpowered. If you dont scout it (impossible because protoss just blocks ramp with 1 goon and you always scout them last on python) and you prepare for it they never actually do dts, and its much more difficult for a learning player to use proper ebay timing based off of scouting information then it is for toss to go citadel->templar archives (add robo bay if u pylon block urself or forget ur 1 dragoon). The only reason you die if you dont scout 2 fact is because ur micro is bad. Terran siege tank/mine micro is so much more unforgiving then goon micro dont even pretend like 2 facting is cheese.

2. Yeah because protoss units are imbalanced and it is impossible for zerg to win without cheese. 2 years ago I'm sure u were playing fastest so cry about imbalance more scrub

3. Happens to me all the time. Do you never see games that say 1v1 [rank] NO P, because thats exactly what it is.

4. Yeah I fuck around on iccup a shitton, and if you knew some of the builds that I do (nuke rush, battlecruiser rush, SK terran vrs protoss(lol emp), trying to win games with only manner buildings/probes, ling slowdrop, proxy hatchery, proxy barracks fake FD, vulture mine + lockdown tvp, archon only zvp, starship troopers, firebat+valkyrie+tank tvz, cloak wraith + m&m obs killing tvp, omg the list goes on) you would laugh that my win rate is so good. Honestly I'm not saying I'm good (yeah I make new accounts and D-C- bash all day, I never plan on putting the dedication in to play super competitively) If u honestly think iccup stats matter check my stats account -- petzergling597 . 1v1 faggot?


1. Lets not even start talking about individual unit statistics becuase thats stupid as shit and can go back and forth forever, let me give you an example. you can make a unit that has such long range it can shoot my units from off the screen, deals more damage then any 3 of my units combined, and its SPLASH damage. I am NOT saying 2fac is cheese, I'm saying DTs arent any cheesier then 2fac or even facport. If you scout a protoss and he has a goon blocking his ramp, make a fucking ebay, because every good protoss will send their goons out to pressure you as soon as they get them, and if they dont, MAKE A FUCKING EBAY. Also, no amount of goon micro in the world will allow 1gate goons to hold a 2fac.

2. Even if it was true that its impossible for zerg to win without cheese, it certainly IS possible to win WITH cheese, so how is that imbalanced? And no matter what you say, it will never be as imbalanced as it was the other way around for the first 9 years of starcraft. And also, 2 years ago i wasnt playing fastest, i wasnt even playing starcraft, because i had quit playing it seriously 3 years ago, and im still probably better then you.

3. When i see those games, i dont join them, because i am P, idiot. However, this is not what you said, you said P players will kick other P players from the game when they pick P as their race. This has never happened to me. I dont understand how it can happen to you either if your not a protoss player

4. I have no fucking clue what your talking about in the first part of this paragraph, but I never said ICCUP stats matter, i suggested Iccup rank matters. And i guess i should have rephrased that to if you ever got past C-, oh well big deal i was one rank off. I would love to 1v1 you, if your seriously challenging me, shoot me a pm

hum....ok . This needs to stop. We have a consensus here that Protoss is the easiest race at low levels (obviously).

What most people fail to realize however is that Protoss is also the easiest race at the highest levels of gaming. The gap of relative difficulty between the 3 races might be narrower at this level but some facts remain;

1.High HP Unit, Limited Unit special-Abilities ...easier micro
2.Longer unit build time, easier macro
3.Easy expansion setup, easier macro
4.Ability to hotkey your entire army in control groups, easier micro
5.Ability to freely mix your unit composition in each group, easier micro

Do you think that these 5 points do not apply at the pro-gaming level? The intensity of the game is higher, but these facts remain. The difference is that progaming Protosses are doing simple tasks at a higher speed and with better precision whereas progaming T and Z users are doing hard tasks at an insane speed with still higher precision. To say that at the highest level of Starcraft, all 3 races are equally difficult to play is simply inaccurate. Yes, the difference in relative difficulty might not be as blatant as it is at the lower levels, but Protoss remains the easiest race at all levels of play.

....SOMEBODY CLOSE THIS DAMNED THREAD ALREADY BEFORE IT GETS WORSE


But it can get worse, Alchemist and Mercury good for Toss fans hmm?

Koreasilver I would like to see you contain and secure all the expos on python. You know you have only 15 minuts to stop him from taking all the expos and that includs attackings.
Artosis is right but too bad you need 10+ games/day to learn that. We all should get the chance to enjoy this game on equal condition. u gotta agree about that. Just hope it sc2 will be more balanced or atleast favouring T

Out of argue so raped lol
[image loading]

lol, since you went out of your way to be the first idiot from TL.net to send me a pm for disagreeing with your obviously clueless arguments, I'll play along with you.

One of the basic rule of thumbs in PvT is that if the Terran and Protoss are at equal bases, the Terran has the advantage. If a Protoss is getting a significantly greater amount of resources than you at equal bases than either the Protoss has a far superior ability to macro than you, your macro fucking blows, or both.

A Terran doesn't need to secure all the expos on Python to beat a Protoss. The nat is extremely easy for the Terran to defend on the map and I have often seen Terrans beat a Protoss with a lesser amount of bases. From my limited understanding as a Zerg player, the advantage that the Protoss has against the Terran becomes smaller as the game goes under "normal" circumstances due to the extremely low supply cost of Terran units and the ridiculous increase in power from upgrades compared to Protoss units.

But even before all that, if you're letting the protoss take ALL the expos and you aren't punishing him for it, then you have no one to blame but yourself for your obvious shortcomings.

For so many years Protoss was considered the worst race, and now that the metagame has shifted in their favour, which will likely only be temporary, you think that the entire game is unbalanced in favour of Protoss? Have you ever even taken into consideration the most imbalanced matchup in the game that is in favour of Terran?

lots of retards on this thread.

p is only easy at low levels. all races are REALLY hard at high level play. just because some of you retards currently see p dominating (for the 1st time in 11 years) doesn't mean it's suddenly an easy race at high level play.


EasiER, not easy. This is a very important distinction here. Obviously high-level P playing requires lots of speed and skill which only very few players will reach AT ALL. But among these few players who DO reach this level, there are ~60-70% Protoss players. And THAT is the problem.

I'm sure most of the players complaining about P wouldn't complain about them if it was just 1 or 2 P gosus (e.g. Bisu and Stork) dominating. We're used to 1 or 2 bonjwas at a time - Boxer/Yellow, July/Oov, Savior, Bisu.
But today, it's not just one or two. It's fucking SIX of them ("the six dragons" - sounds nice, but in fact it's a huge problem for SC). And all of them are in the top 10 KeSPA. And on top foreigner level the majority is Protoss too. If you STILL argue that P is only easy at low levels, you're just really retarded or ignorant or didn't look how well all P players are doing at the moment.
Once you look at the actual race distributions you have to notice that something's definitely wrong.

But I guess P players will always say that P is only the easiest at low levels, which is just PART of the truth (the truth is that it's also the easiest on top foreign level and now *apparently* even the easiest in Korea too), after all who wants to be laughed at for playing the easiest race?

Anyway. P will continue to dominate in 2009 if it goes on like this, and this discussion will pop up again and again. Sometimes, the majority is right after all...

We'll probably need new maps which nerf Protoss, or a new balance patch (which won't happen). Or maybe no one even cares anymore about the state of SC and it'll just go on like this until SC2 is released and SC1 dies. Maybe the vast majority of SC players and fans like Protoss that they don't care.


wow

are you pretending to know what the fuck you're talking about? apparently you're not too good at it. do you realize there have been huge portions of SC history where terran has had a TON of players who were dominating? almost half of SC history has been spent with big chunks of terran players owning hardcore with a few zergs and protosses in between. it was very VERY similar to what you're seeing with protoss domination today. this is the first time ever in sc history you see a bunch of protoss players dominating after 11 years and all of a sudden some genius like you figured out that they were the easiest race after all. good work detective, looks like this case is closed.

obviously maps are favoring protoss in major korean tournaments but this dosn't suddenly make protoss an easier race at high levels.

Your post didn't come off as you implying that .

Also i missed that guys post.. this isn't dota, you can't just nerf something if people cry imba, and protoss isn't imba anyway. At lower levels it isn't imba, it is just easier to learn, but even though it's easier to learn, it still takes a shit load of effort to learn it.

Imba =/= Easier

Your arguments had no substance, so I thought it was a waste of time to even argue with you. Just now you just basically admitted that you're clueless, so doesn't that just completely undermine your already flawed arguments?

Your last three sentences are also rather irrelevant to your argument and mine.

What most people fail to realize however is that Protoss is also the easiest race at the highest levels of gaming. The gap of relative difficulty between the 3 races might be narrower at this level but some facts remain;

1.High HP Unit, Limited Unit special-Abilities ...easier micro
2.Longer unit build time, easier macro
3.Easy expansion setup, easier macro
4.Ability to hotkey your entire army in control groups, easier micro
5.Ability to freely mix your unit composition in each group, easier micro

Do you think that these 5 points do not apply at the pro-gaming level? The intensity of the game is higher, but these facts remain. The difference is that progaming Protosses are doing simple tasks at a higher speed and with better precision whereas progaming T and Z users are doing hard tasks at an insane speed with still higher precision. To say that at the highest level of Starcraft, all 3 races are equally difficult to play is simply inaccurate. Yes, the difference in relative difficulty might not be as blatant as it is at the lower levels, but Protoss remains the easiest race at all levels of play.


oh thanks truthteller, i almost missed your bullshit post too.

protoss is different, not easier. do you realize how unforgiving protoss is at early stages of the game? you can NOT fuck up with any of your early units early on because you don't get many of them. have you ever lost your shuttle in a pvt? that unit with vision just a little bit more than a turret? what about losing the 1st observer when you need to break a lurker contain... you know that slow as fuck unit that dies almost instantly. protoss is a precision based race, look at protoss base setup, they have to wall off with pylons everywhere on the map in pvt, you can't just randomly throw pylons down anywhere. protoss HAVE to mix their control groups or their flanks get fucked up (except the 1st group in pvt because that has to be goons). sure units make slower but protoss is also making the most complex unit combination's at times. look at pvz, you have to have incredibly precise unit mixtures or you get fucked in the late game.

all the races require incredibly different skill sets. don't oversimplify.

for low-mid levels protoss is easiest.

are you really disputing that? Nobody (I hope) is saying bisu is a noob
SKT_Best: "I actually chose Protoss because it was so hard for me to defeat Protoss as a Terran. When I first started Brood War, my main race was Terran."
