Zergs vote Terran, Terrans vote Protoss and Protosses think the game is fine. That's what seems to be happening I think.

Imo it seems like Zerg loses to Terran, while Terran loses in TvP.

I'm a zergy person, and I voted for zerg being the most powerful even though I think it's the weakest race. Why? Despite it being weaker, there are still phenominal zergs out there. If zerg gets the right buffs, it might just be OP. Maybe it's just because zerg benefits players who have strong mechanics and strats..

No idea, but that's why I voted for zerg .

Wait...waaat. I think your explanation left me more confused

Zerg is weakest, but has the potential to become strongest and you expect it to be soon?
Nothing original here...
TvZ slightly imba for terran....
PvT slightly imba for protoss...

Not sure about PvZ...it confuses me.

Every race has imbalanced units, but overall I think Protoss is the strongest because of the Deathball which isn't a unit alone. It seems like a strategy, but it's just a bunch of units which units inside adds up deadly. Terran and Zerg are weak in a bunch because of colossus and storm. For Zerg its really hard, because Vipers, Infestors and Queens get easy sniped by feedback and then there are forcefields, guardian shield and a lot of power left. For Terran its harder because you have to always snipe observers and then snipe the HTs, then the Deathball is 1 to 1 with stim bio. The engagement and army position matters.
My solution is to slighty reduce cost of raven or buff its speed, so it cant get easily sniped by mutas or hydras. For Zerg you need vipers with a cooldown, no energy and maybe higher supply count OR fungal growth cast takes longer (1-2 seconds more).

These are just suggestions and maybe they are not good, but I hope they give enough inducements to think of better solutions!

Someone summed up my feelings well already.
T > Z, P > T, not too sure about ZvP. TvP is like David vs Goliath to me. Or like the big kid you can't fight directly and you just have to kick them in the balls early and sprint while yours are still intact.

Can't believe so many people are getting this trick question wrong.

It could be worded a little more clearly though I guess.

Overall I feel in BW as well that Terran is the most "well-rounded race" over in defending and attacking. Best defense with potential for best offense makes this race one tough cookie. Protoss would be a close second and trailing way behind would be Zerg (as the polls show).

I don't know if Protoss or Terran, but Zerg under-powered.

That's the BW order of balance


For me its how it is in SC2 aswell now^^
Lets hope we get to the BW level of balance next

I think we're at or above the BW level of balance.

Balance isn't the issue with SC2, really.

I still think Zerg is the strongest race. Yeah we have seen a lot of Terran domination, but it could be that Terran players just figured out the game quicker. Zerg just looks soo strong on paper.

I voted Terran becuase MMMM is so easy to run with because of it, majority being minerals/drop mules. As a protoss people who think the race is OP is kinda funny to read. The problem I notice in platium to mid lvl diamond is that people are lazy with micro of there army. What I mean by that is they just send bio ball stem at enemy and maybe have some ghost to deal with sheilds/ht. Ghost have been terrans best but worst unit in sc2 because it can make a huge difference in a battle and the game. Meh no race is overpowered to be it all comes down to how good you are with your army.

I think the game is fine, maybe mines need a redesign...

Bio-mine clearly imba in ZvT. Costs nothing, insane DPS, monster mobility. Zergs don't have P's flexibility or firepower to deal efficiently with it. Referring to winrates or pro streams does not support evidence; one has to see online how confident Terran players are in this matchup to really start to realize how far this goes.

Overall speaking the rest is quite fine. PvP still too random imo but it's not relevant here.

I'm terran so yeah protoss.
Seriously to me pvt is more broken that what was zvt in WoL.
Terran is weak in early game because of mothership core, weak in midgame because he can't play greedy cause of so many avalaible allins/harass from Toss, and of course weak in lategame.

TvZ is sightly terran favoured, depends on the map tho, I feel it's balance on some maps like Whirlwind.

I think PvZ is also in favor protoss, but it's less obvious than pvt.
