I thought since Terran players are doing a good job in Kr, people would vote for Terran. I guess I was wrong XD

No race is significantly imbalanced. We certainly would have an upcoming patch, but the balance is still pretty decent.

Here's what I don't get. If you think a race is OP, then play that race. Simple

Learning new race takes weeks/months, also people still hope blizzard to patch thing us( and we know how reliable Blizz is)
and last but not least race pride! People dont want to become what they hate :D
Otherwise in WoL we'll have seeen 99% plays as terran for the first year and so then switch to patch zerg and 1 week for protoss before amulet removal. And in Hots we'll have seen just everyone playing zerg (since its the race that got most benefits from the expand - muta buff(for whatever reason), Swarm host ( i feel asleep once at ZvP with SH.. no kidding), hydra buff(that one was cook), and afcourse we would have gotten some terrans before Hellbat fix

Zerg is the least represented race across all WCS regions. Zerg started out as the highest represented race by a lot, at the beginning of season 1.

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?

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.


So what you're wanting, is a Zerg should be able to amove their banelings and zerglings into Terran? So the outcome of the fight is solely determined on the Terran's micro? All I see is you whining. Zerg's are so notorious for whining. Widow mines don't require micro but in WoL a Zerg required absolutely no micro, the Terran had to split, stim, and then aim his tanks at banelings, while simultaneously dropping, it's about time the Terran's get a forgiving unit.

First off, Zerg isn't even my main race. I think its fine that Terran gets a unit to help them out in these engagements vs Zerg, but the widow mine is just too much. For how little it costs and for how little effort it requires, the widow mine has way too much potential for damage. When one shot can kill 15-20 banelings no problem or two shots can kill X amount of super expensive mutalisks, and it only costs 75/25? It seems ridiculous when it isn't a unit that Terran even necessarily needs since they have siege tanks. The cost, damage, splash radius, range, or just some mechanics of the widow mine needs to be changed to make it possible for Zerg to be at least a little aggressive against the swarms of marines flooding into their expands. Worst case scenario, Terran players start using siege tanks more and throw in cheep widow mines as a support unit, rather than as a cheep win-condition against Zerg

Hard to call, I think Terran is winning TvZ by a small margin atm. Seems like the TvZ meta has kind of stabilised so maybe that needs some attention. Protoss seems slightly favored in PvT atm, but I don't know how bad these issues are. It might be like when Protoss was OP, but mvp just showed us that they were playing greedy.

Well i feel like zerg is the most underpowered right now. people say that zerg was op in wol so we deserve this but i started to play alot in hots so thats not really fair. Protoss requires a lot less skill than a zerg, so its annoying to lose but thats not really op, protoss is just easy to play. Terran however is op right now, because of widow mines
it costs as much as a roach. I would trade my roaches for widow mines. It doesnt make sense how they require no micro but can take down that many mutas. I used to think toss was op but if u scout u usually win, in lower leagues at least.
Zerg requires alot more skill than your opponent but that doesnt make it op. We just adapt and outplay our opponents cause we have to.
We cant recover like them and we cant be as greedy etc. But this is cause i play zerg and im not that good. Its extremely hard to be a zerg in lower leagues cause it requires you to be better than your opponent, but its worth it.

gg. You wont be missed. If you can't beat them (clearly you can't), why not join them?

would agree, i got the same feels. Just like the circle of strentghs slightly workd in BW as well. But thats while i feel the game is realy good atm and no race is too to strong...
Although i always had a grudge towards terran. Started in BW and i dont realy know why. In sc2 i feel like they are so versetile abusive and low tier units soo good. But it all goes around, its just silly to focuse on thoughts like that^^

You;re completely right for the current state of the races at pro level (we other scrubs don;t matter :D until there is MLG monobattles pro league :D (which probably will be more fun to watch then any recent tournaments )

but isn't this what exactly imbalance means. When one race have a certain advantage over the other and the skill of a players aren't proportional to the power level their race can achieve? its true that this occurs with certain builds and when units just become to cost efficient or had one-too many roles, or the worse when the only chance for "A" player to win is if player "B" fucks up.
