That's definitely the feel I get in my own games.

ZvP is just stupidly easy for me, meanwhile ZvT feels really really hard. Though it's definitely nothing playing well cannot overcome. A fun change since WoL where it was exactly the other way around.

At pro level it seems even more balanced though! HotS really added so many option to the game that despite something being hard, there is always a good option available for every situation.

Voted no race is significantly imbalanced. but again, I can only answer from a ZvX point.

I however think Terran is a tiny bit op in TvZ, but it's so minor that I want to see how the meta evolves. And maybe late game Z is a bit strong against Protoss, but it's hard to get there and its mostly on split maps.

I think a lot of terrans think Protoss is a bit imba in TvP, but I don't know if that opinion has changed or not.

If they don't want balance whining, they definitely should not have opened comments for this poll...

If Toss is so strong I should prepare for everyone to switch to Toss and get ready for endless PvP on ladder. Of course the races are fine, so people wont switch to Toss and get the free wins they deserve

Protoss strongest, ZvT favors terran, but zerg has a much better chance vP than terran vP, so idk whose second

I really hate people like you. Not sure if you're being sarcastic. In case you forgot, banelings can move fairly fast and attack while above ground and don't have a 40 second cool down, and banelings also don't hurt your own units. Oh and banelings can be made 40 at a time, widow mines pretty much just 2 at a time. Not to mention they can get upgraded ground attacks.

It's okay friend, WoL is over and you can't a-move anymore, time to learn to micro I suppose?

balance feels like this

Z > P (slightly zerg favored due to viper/swarmhost and faster hydra/mutalisk)
T > Z (slightly terran favored due to midgame bio-mine 2/2 to 3/3 agression)
P > T (slightly protoss favored due to mamacore)

but its overall balanced .. its just slightly infavored

Well I think at Pro Level Terran seems to be the strongest race, but below mid Master Toss is definitely the strongest race, in my opinion.

how can anyone argue that protoss is OP when EVERY toss at the season 2 finals got decimated? Rain gets 3-0'd by taeja and 2-0'd by Jaedong. First gets 3-0'd by Jaedong and 2-0'd by Bomber. And the only convincing victory had by a protoss at all that wasn't pvp was First BARELY beating Alive 3-2 and knocking our Polt who didn't seem to be on his game.
And don't even think about telling me that all of the 7 protoss in the finals just weren't good.

I really hate people like you. stimmed marines move faster than banelings and while the banelings are chasing they are blown up by widow mines (which require next-to-no micro whatsoever) And yeah they don't have a 40 second cool down BECAUSE THEY ONLY ATTACK ONCE AND THEN DIE. Widow mines are made two at a time while banelings are made 40 at a time and yet those two widow mines CAN KILL the 40 with a lucky connection. Sure with good splits, the zerg player can avoid this, but the Terran player's entire strategy revolves around just sending wave after wave of marines and widow mines at the zerg until he does get that one lucky connection (which he always does eventually) and does enough damage to the zerg. Not to mention widow mines shoot air. Banelings are hardly ever cost efficient. Widow mines are rarely not.

Zerg player voting Zerg, though I really think all 3 are pretty balanced.

There is a good variety of builds vs all races, at least from a Zerg point of view.

Protoss can beat players with higher skill ... does this mean OP or just the easiest race to play? Anyways TvP is Protoss favored IMO ... they can be too greedy with the Photon Overcharge... meanwhile Terran just lost his NR 2 HotS advantage, the Hellbat ... so if you think Terran just got the Medivac boost in TvP which is awesome and strong but Protoss got better advantages by far with HotS ... so i think this leads to a 57-43ish balance ratio in favor if Protoss ... its just my opinion
