it would be auto win for all of them so i dont see how something can be most imba

Take a balance, put two weights, each on one side
A) 5 Kg and 5 Kg
They are balanced

B) 20 Kg and 5 Kg
The balance has shifted its balance to the left side

C) 6 Kg and 5 Kg
The balance is slightly skewed towards the left side

B) is the most imbalanced


Just because I hate bad logic, I'm gonna comment this:

Morrow is correct. Autowin would translated into probabilty mean 100% chance of winning, and therefor your two weights will both be infinity on the one side, and a finite (not nessesarilly the same) number on the other side, but the proportion between left and right side still being the same. Since the logical way of determining imbaness would be the proportion of left to right side (or infinite or zero if one is zero), they will both be just as imbalanced, that is, 100% chance of winning.

But I was just exemplifying how something can be "most imbalanced", as in there are very degrees of imbalance as they fall farther and farther away from the equilibrium point.
Even if any of the above mean autowin, there is always the question on how easy it was to autowin.
Perhaps warpgate are not as hard to defend against, because they have several drawbacks:
-You need to switch from gateway to warpgate which takes some time.
-Your units production queue gets delayed after each new unit produced
-You need a pylon to power up the location your units will appear (how hard is to get a pylon inside an opponent's base? You will need a shuttle (in most maps) anyway; except early game... where a warp gate would be similar to a proxy with slower reinforcements.
Any player who successfully defends against it should come up on top from superior unit count.
You can only get as many units...

A simpler example, would be to make Zergling invincible + 9000 attack, and making Battle cruiser invincible with 9000 attack.
Zergling is more imbalanced, because you it is easier to prevent a Terran from getting to the stage where he can make BC than preventing a zerg to get a ling out.

@Morrow
If you had two unbalanced abilities for your race (say, chrono boost and warp-in for protoss), and they were mutually exclusive, which one would you use to get the best win rate? which one would win vs the other?

@OP
You forgot reactor, but that would be last anywho.

I reckon queen, then chrono-boost. Warp-in requires a second tier tech, and a chrono boosted economy into chrono boosted gateways would kill someone using warp-in the vast majority of the time. Queen is just ridiculous, as a high econ zerg start off one base would be incredibly stable and powerful.

wait a minute, wait a minute. how does the queen saving you 150 minerals(after costing you 150 minerals) equal to anything better than the MULE which gives you 270 FREE minerals?!


Because they're not just 150 free minerals. They make even more than that.
Not to mention they're also an early air attacker and can make hidden creep colonies that self-propagate.

Chrono boost would really lead to massive force if used correct.

Queen is already in SC1.
Pretty sure it's not imba.

Also, Queen is not an ability.

if you consider the queen in sc1 the same as the queen in sc2 then you need to stop posting comments.
