Let me guess, you play protoss? I thought it was "most entertaining" and voted TvZ... I think others have made the same mistake. | ||

I don't see how that has anything to do with it when I think like ZvZ and TvT more than TvZ right now. And I liked TvZ more in the past too. It can still give great games but the current state of it already feels stale to me. And I think people should take a bit more time to read in the future if that is the case. | ||

I for one voted ZvZ, because it simply is the least entertaining match at the moment, in all fairness though, i still think it's less awful than in WoL... ZvP was the least entertaining thing for me in WoL though, which has really come a great way (maybe my opinion is slightly off on this because the last zvp i watched was between parting and life) | ||

I like ZvP because it's so different from WoL, except that watching a 30 minute no rush into mass void ray tempest is almost as dull as brood lord/infestor was. ZvZ...I love the ling micro, hate mutas. Muta ZvZ is the most boring type of game to watch. | ||

i think ZvZ is kinda boring, because its like WoL PvP. there are just a few builds, the midgame is 99% muta v muta, and after one big engagement its mostly obvious whos going to win. the other reason could be, i am no zerg^^ | ||

That said, Z v Z games with hyper aggro builds can be fun to watch. Ling bane wars can be interesting if both players are on the same page and both have solid micro. The high drone count style is just boring as hell in that match up. | ||

Because if the Protoss plays it right and denies harassment and the Terran plays smart and doesn't over extend into a well defended P the match up can turn into a no action 15 minute maxed vs maxed fight which just ends the game... It definitely can be exciting but it can also be boring as hell and very anti climatic. | ||

The larva mechanic makes for stupid situations where one zerg saves up one round of larva and then just kills his opponent. It also suffers from both players(races) being reliant on massing a huge amount of units, the same units. It almost makes you wish blizzard would either implement a similar system to C&C Generals, where factions had sub-factions in the form of generals. These generals specialised in certain tech routes and would enhance them. Or make you able to be a race-picker in the ladder system. Hey, let me dream ok? ZvZ is probably as good as it can be as soon as people find out how to not go mutas 10/10 times. | ||

It's been marine marauer medivac against herp derp swap between collossus / ht and terran swapping between viking / ghost. It's extremely stupid just watching mmm stim kiting against a deathball 10 minutes straight with drops and dozens of marauder shots just to kill a SINGLE zealot. But I'm in the minority apparently... I consider the three protoss matchups the most boring: PvT, PvP, then PvZ, then ZvZ. | ||

It's kinda surprising how PvZ went from being the most reviled matchup by far at the end of WoL to becoming now the second favourite matchup among fans. Kudos to Blizzard for fixing that matchup! ZvZ is still the worst, but now it's kinda worst by default. It's better than it used to be, but still not as good as the other 5. Roach Infestor is dead...but now we have endless Muta wars. The Mothership Core and specifically Photon Overcharge really fixed the volatility of the PvP matchup, but Blizzard is understandably having a hard time making ZvZ more stable and varied without messing up the other matchups. | ||

Why would you put a negative modifier on a positive adjective? Who do you think you're writing for, Linguistics PhD students? Next time just write it in plain fucking english: "WHHAT MATCHUP BAD BAD ( ) WATCH???". | ||

Seriously, I did a double take, assumed it was a favorite matchup to watch poll, almost voted TvZ Not sure what it is, but TvZ has always been my favorite matchup since the beta, everything else kind of pales in comparison, TvP had it's day but it was never quite as exciting. Idra vs Bomber back a year and a half ago at MLG, those were some of the best games of sc2 that I've ever seen. | ||

ZvZ Same dull things happen over and over, with no diviation at all. Gets boring really fast. ZvP The scale og power is way too wierd in this one, making the game end either prematurely, or in a "10 min death animation". PvP Early game feels disturbingly similar to rock paper scissors... ZvT Same linar game development in all the games. We seriously need to make swarmhost or hydras viable vs bio, and mech viable vs zerg in general. TvT Hellbat stronk yo. TvP Best mu to watch. Both can make comebacks all game through and both can make very powerfull timings. For me as a PLAYER it's in this order(top = worst mu to watch) ZvZ and TvT gets a shared #1 on this one ---- GZ you two! ZvP Feels like a clock have been set in place. Zerg needs to kill protoss before he get maxed in either carrier void ht, or tempest HT oracle. PvP Again. Rock paper scissor ZvT Takes way to long to be able to attack into terrans main. PvT fun and awesome for both parts. Except maybe few strange things in early game. | ||

While this is still entertaining, I feel like Marine+Tank TvZ like we saw in WoL was much more entertaining. TvZ is in a sense the 'classic' starcraft matchup, and tanks are a staple of that. Widow mines just make the matchup feel weird. A problem with TvZ in HotS is that, at least from the terran side, the matchup has been 'optimized'. The reaper opening is 'optimal' because it is safe and economic. The 3CC build is 'optimal' unless you spot early aggression. And long-term economic plays are 'optimal' because it's so hard to get anything done early game. PvZ We're seeing a lot more variation in this matchup now thanks to the mothership core and other new units. I think it's a lot more entertaining than its WoL counterpart. There is the danger of stalemates on maps such as Newkirk and Daybreak, but as long as we get more interesting maps into the map pool this shouldn't be a problem. TvP The best matchup, both to play and spectate. There's potential for anything to happen right from the early game, and HotS only made this better. TvT Overall I think this is an improvement from WoL. However, I feel like hellbat drops are too strong (or people need to deal with it better) and they're starting to get boring. PvP Really haven't seen many PvPs. The new tactics seem interesting but there's the risk that they can be too coin-flippy, which can be bad for both players and spectators. ZvZ At the ling/bling stage it's still pretty exciting, but when we get to mutas it's horrible. Hopefully the spore change will help with that. | ||

Personally I like TvT and TvP if they do not just end in like 7 minutes. Then comes TvZ if it goes into late game. I feel that hots is not really an improvement from wol unfortunately....it does not fix the problems: 1) Zerg is weak vs early pressures, but it gets new/upgraded units for mid-late game which they are strong enough already. As seen at the end of WoL, Zerg dominated, with 5 zerg players with highest win ratios on gom's site. 2) Protoss, known for that strong late game, and blizzard adds the tempest and better voids....I think photon overcharge is not a bad upgrade for protoss, but i think its range is overpowered.... 3) Terran became I would say the weakest race at the end of WoL I would say (although it did start out as the strongest), and have problems with the late game. That is why terrans always like to mix in some gimmicky plays and cheeses. But hots does not fix this and instead gives it more cheese-able units like widow mines, hellbats and medivac boost...... | ||

I can understand it being boring when you dont see the intricacies of the match. Its so beautiful but it makes me sad that so many people wont get to experience it the same way T.T | ||

Its so beautiful but it makes me sad that so many people wont get to experience it the same way T.T That could really be said about any matchup .While muta wars themselves are far from stale and boring, I think that the fact that only a small part of the zerg arsenal is used time and time again is currently making the matchup as a whole rather dull and repetitive. Edit: Voted for zvz as the least entertaining . | ||

Muta v Muta takes skill but is not intense as a viewer... it's usually clear who's slightly ahead and slightly behind due to ling runbys and the like, and once they both think they can fight, just one big A-Move muta flock v muta flock... game is decided in 5 seconds and in a very boring 5 seconds.... | ||

Obviously it's due to the lack of diversity one sees in that MU. zvz = muta vs muta or simply ling/bling/roach attacks.... that is currently being tried to be changed by upgraded spore dmg heheh | ||

No... a lot of people just misread the question. | ||

And there is clearly an important rivalry between T and Z players. 80% of the best games ever made were TvZ. | ||

But I don't think ZvZ is least entertaining to watch. It's always dancing on a very small rope, always action. TvT is far more boring then ZvZ or PvP | ||

TvT has very interesting positional play. Lots of zone control and trying to out maneuver your opponent. ZvZ is high octane and exciting to watch. I don't like it as much as other matchups, but it's a good change of pace. PvP I'm not sure about at the moment but it's definitely better than WoL. PvT is all around good. ZvT is decent too. Way better than ZvP anyway. | ||

ZvZ is played in a razor's edge and is pretty volatile, making it quite an entertaining match up to watch. | ||

TvP- Bio is retarded. Bio should be about Micro and multitasking( Like Bio TvT and TvZ), not straight-up destroying Protoss. PvP - Once the game hits Macro Mode. | ||

Isn't bio TvP "either you hit the EMPs and your vikings kill the colossi, or you lose"? I had the impression that the Protoss usually wins a straight up fight. | ||

ZvZ is really fun for me to watch... for early game zergling/baneling micro. Late game is boring. TvT is by far my favorite (so interesting at every stage of the game!), followed by TvZ. | ||

Thats exactly how it is. Whoever thinks the protoss army is at a disadvantage in TvP is off the deep end stupid. A moving it and hitting T to storm will win 10 out of 10 fights. In comparison T has to manage EMP, viking flanks (Which are risky if the vikings can't kite back into dead space to avoid stalkers), bio splits to nullify splash damage, and also needs to stim throughout the engagement to make bio micro like stuttersteps effective. It can be beaten, so balance isn't an issue, but it takes a lot more from the Terran than from the Protoss to win those 200 food engagements. | ||
