Lol @ Zerg with 3%. It's kind of true though. ATM Zerg seems to be the weakest but it's overall good balance.

Zergs vote "Terran", Terrans vote "Protoss", protoss vote "No race is significantly imbalanced"

I'm a zerg and i voted protoss. Forcefields make thing way too easy for the protoss to engage and to defend. I also feel that late game ZvT favors terran.

@ InfusedTT.DaZe Protoss "is" the joke. How can a race be so broken.

My only real problem is the mothership core's photon overcharge.
The radius is so large and the dps is significantly higher than queens.
I hate the way it makes ALL 1 base terran aggression unfeasible.

I threw a fit about the queen buff in WoL, but now I just don't care enough to bitch.
As long as I have my speedvacs I know I can engineer a win from my mechanics.

Honestly BW did favor terran a little more but the amount was so small it didnt matter all that much. The real balancing in BW was the maps.

funny how this poll would have looked totally different just two weeks ago. And it would probably look totally different in a month without the need for any buff/nerf at all.

People will say Protoss because its a little bit easier to learn, and call them imba and blah blah. I encourage them to switch to Protoss and get the free wins they deserve then. Races are balanced. Terran's micro is more demanding, but otherwise they're fine. Hots is very well balanced. I honestly expected the game to be ridiculously imba when it launched,but its been the exact opposite.

Most powerful means #1, to me. Right now, there's only one person out there who people can say is The Best Player, and that is Innovation. Thus, it has to be Terran.

Surprised Protoss is so high, you'd think they'd be dominating GSL with that kind of imbalance. The game's pretty balanced atm imo.

Haha that poll !

Interesting, because I just got aware of Street Fighter 2 Super Turbo esports scene, and was a bit surprised to learn that the game is actually imbalanced, that there's an official list of "which fighers are better in X or X match-up", and that seems not to harm that much the game...

I'd rather have a slightly unbalanced game that is evolving and changing all the time over a balanced game that is stagnant. Still I contradict myself and voted Terran since it's so hard to do the hive/ultra transition in late game.

prolly because unlike in sc2 you don't just play one fighter, you play them all (or at least more than one) right?
The reason that sc2 is different in that racial imbalances cause the game to suffer is that, if one race is blatantly weaker/stronger than the others, people will get frustrated with playing because they can't really just switch their race like fighters in a fighting game.

+1 for that. I am protoss and my best matchup is PvT, but i die to terran who can mirco their ghosts and terran who can split well. I understand all matchups well and i dont think there is imbalance!

Terran here and I dont think any race is SIGNIFICANTLY imbalanced (key word significantly) however I would say there are some issues with the game that need to be addressed definitely.

I get the feeling that high-end Zergs don't have room much to differentiate themselves from "really damn good" zergs.

Same with Protoss, though. But in a different sort of way.

True, but I've seen some of these top Koreans off race and still win games all the way up in GM. Going Random/learning more than one race is challenging, but when you already have the mechanics and control, you're most of the way there. Its just knowledge at that point.

You're right. But I wouldn't bet on any top korean beating another top korean when he is off-racing. You still have to choose one race to perfect. That's also why we have no Random-Player in the Pro-Scence.

toss op, terran needs to reworked (widowmines are too luckbased for it's impact) and blizz just doesn't know what to do with zerg: they see zerg has problems with being able to do all the things at the same time they need for lategame. so instead of the logical solution: making good multitasking, macro and lategame unitcontrol more rewarding, they are looking to buff ultra's basically saying zerg needs to become a 1-A race, which should be avoided at all costs!

I am a zerg player (but I don't play much, I mostly watch) voting that there is no significant imbalance. I believe that is true because right now it seems predictions of upcoming games are based more on who we think is a more skillful player (of course, sprinkled with taking into consideration factors such as Artosis curse and Bomber law), than basing it on what race we perceive to be strongest in a matchup, with map pool taken into consideration.

We see all races winning tournaments, which is nice. I hope this state of good balance will last a while, because it makes the game more enjoyable to watch than ever

Depends on the level. If the Terran plays perfectly aka Innovation, then Terran seems strong. But in master league I have to say it is pretty mind boggling how strong Protoss is.

The Game is pretty well balanced. I think Zerg is just SLIGHTLY.... VERY SLIGHTLY weaker but overall i think its pretty even across the board.

People who complain just want to get easy wins from previous buffs they used to have. If you having trouble beating a certain race then you need to change your approach to playing... Thats what i did and i am really enjoying playing again. Even when i lose a close match i enjoy it because i learn and apply that to the next game.

Going for early 3 nexus is a part of the meta at the moment and there's been no super reliable way of shutting it down presented by Terran. 14cc may be more greedy in the early game but in the early->mid transition, Protoss has it much easier and much greedier (if they choose to play that way).

Thats what i did and i am really enjoying playing again. Even when i lose a close match i enjoy it because i learn and apply that to the next game.



Or you just don't played 40 game in a row toss all in as terran, way to be master, when you had 59%(for each match up) last season(New season play only vs all in 20% win vs toss !!!).
Try it you'll see how it goes !!!
come back give us your opinion !!!! THX !

Haha that poll !

Interesting, because I just got aware of Street Fighter 2 Super Turbo esports scene, and was a bit surprised to learn that the game is actually imbalanced, that there's an official list of "which fighers are better in X or X match-up", and that seems not to harm that much the game...


prolly because unlike in sc2 you don't just play one fighter, you play them all (or at least more than one) right?
The reason that sc2 is different in that racial imbalances cause the game to suffer is that, if one race is blatantly weaker/stronger than the others, people will get frustrated with playing because they can't really just switch their race like fighters in a fighting game.


It depends, the documentary I've seen on EVO2013 showed that you can have both. Some players will stick to their main even in a blatanlty unfavorable match-up, while others won't hesitate to switch inside Bo3 for example, if they feel they can surprise, or just to get a more favorable match-up.

No race is significantly imbalanced. People love to blame their struggles with the game on inbalances instead of blaming themselves for making lots of mistakes, the game is actually pretty decently balanced right now.

.... if you are going off that graphic then why don't u go off the fact that protoss dominates higher leagues number wise. (higher leagues as in gm and masters) it's about (for all regions combined) 42% toss 26% terran 31% zerg....
i've played over 1000 ladder games this season as a masters terran and i literally LITERALLY have not beat one protoss in a straight up game without them just derping. it's so insanely hard with the mothership core denying any serious pressure etc etc. i don't think it's like stupidly broken, but it's defintely broken in my eyes. sorry if this seems like hardcore balance whine because it probably is and i feel like this is the appropriate thread for it

a clear problem i have seen with many people talking about the balance and even within blizz itself is that they think if ladder winrate is around 50% for all races the game is balanced. This however is NOT always true! the ladder-system is designed to always give people a winrate around the 50% as long as you play enough games, by matching you up against harder opponents if you win too much or easier if you lose too much. For example lets say you are on plat level skill, but now you pick a race with a huge adventage (hypothetically speaking). you keep on winning till you get in master league where you start getting a 50% winrate. people will now say: "see the race is balanced it has 50% winrate" but they forget that this is because the players are playing above their own skill-level. in their original league they could have had a 90% winrate, meaning one of the races could have a significant advantage, but the overall ladder-statistics wouldn't even give you the slightest clue about this.

@GodZo, and Mura, Pls, Don't come here with false information, or trying to bash people. You took the information from one portion of the internet, and shown you don't even read.

from the site:

"Note that this yields information about metagame balance near the the top of the skill ladder, and not to be confused with (although likely correlated to) actual game balance throughout the whole player population."

Balance in other leagues is different. You can blame it on skill, but if one race demands less mechanics than another race, wouldn't that be "imbalanced" in it's own way ?

Even in the graphics protoss have shown a significant uprising. It is based on a point system that takes the average of all players, and there are way more Terrans and Zergs in the pro scene. at least that are my thoughts about it.

This graph may be the balance for those at the top, but first that is what matters if you're an esports fan, and second as it's said, it's "likely [to be] correlated to [the] actual game balance throughout the whole player population." Of course "likely" doesn't mean it is the right graph for the whole population, but at least protoss are likely to be not OP if they are still slightly underwhelming in the pro scene.

Protoss is so IMBA that at OSL - the winner stomped the toss hard - who was terran by the way.

IMBA was zerg in WoL. Every KR tourney - winning everything - being 6 of the top 8. That was imbalanced and impossible to watch.

OSL and Starleague have been great to watch - everything seems very balanced.

voted toss, because they have an edge in every matchup. I meet master tosses on EU ladder with like 60-80 apm, never seen a terran or a zerg hit masters with such low apm. Also toss has the best 2 base allins.

Going for early 3 nexus is a part of the meta at the moment and there's been no super reliable way of shutting it down presented by Terran. 14cc may be more greedy in the early game but in the early->mid transition, Protoss has it much easier and much greedier (if they choose to play that way).


It seems like Protoss greed in PvP and PvZ is going for a quick third. Protoss greed in PvT is usually tech based greed where they're double forge + colossus + twilight only off of 1 gate + robo up until ~50 supply.

I think people are voting toss, because when they lose to toss it's usually that the deathball crushed through them which feels like there's nothing you could have done about it. Losing to a muta switch, or taking too much damage from harass feels like something less imba than losing badly in an army vs army fight.

This is a silly argument. Firstly, you can't take in account some really extreme cases and generalize it into "protoss doesn't require apm" (that's what you mean in the end), you should compare the average apm of your opponents. Also most master players spam all the time, which means that people who don't look ridiculously slow especially if the game ends early on. Secondly, even if protoss required low apm, this wouldn't mean that it is an easier race. People seem to forget that starcraft is not only about doing a ton of things quickly, it's also (and mostly) about doing the right things, that's why (and it's completely fair) you can beat people who play much faster than you.

Early 3rd nexus is really hard to defend because you will get multipronged and you can't photon overcharge both you main base and 3rd at the same time. Also when medivacs come out it loses its reliability as a defense, you need units to stay alive after 10 minutes.

No, it proves he and many other people still don't understand how to infer from statistics.

A race can be overpowered (as in slightly, there's no blatant imbalance in the game, sorry to disappoint) and still not be the most winning race at the pro level.

Pro gamer don't choose their race so that the distribution is even, their skill level aren't finite quantities with discrete "level of skill" (think of energy levels in physics), nerves play a role, etc.

I think the majority of people vote protoss because they have their race and expect to be able to 'a move' their army and win at almost any point in the game, or win with little/no harassment. They are strong, otherwise no one would play them.. without the protoss spell casters they would be pretty weak, as they have to do damage but also maintain their army. Happy to be proven wrong though.

Personally I think it is rare that a terran or a zerg should ever attack a protoss army directly in one big battle.. protoss army doesn't always seem to be able to with stand endurance fighting - small but regular engagements instead. I could be wrong though. Not as black and white as I said it in practice.

Explain to me how Protoss would be dominating when they were all eliminated before the hellbat nerf and warp prism buff? Then all of a sudden 6 toss destroy WCS Europe and they were the majority in WCS America until the quarterfinals.

Plus

60.3% winrate for Protoss in PvT

132 games to 87 for Terran.

They were 47% winrate in Korea because of the reason stated above. Use your brain.

No this pool shows nothing of the sort. It only shows a) what race i loose most of the time b) what i saw most resent months to happened to my favorite players vs that race c) almost nothing because its not putted like "whats the most OP at high levels or Certain level.(or else)"
The only think i can pretty much get from this is that majority people that voted are between this and that, and/or count 1-2 tournaments they watched recently.
Protoss is a bit easier to play at low levels because zerg and terrans powers shine at higher levels when you got solid macro and good APM to micro. Terran race is just APM hungry beast, and since blizzard would never touch the marine which means they making Mech viable would have to mean its nerf or hiving absolutely minimum synergy between mech and bio, it would remain more of a micro, tactics race that a strategical one with "support roles of mech units" (of-course by mech i mean slow,heavy, powerful BW mech( BW tanks <3), As for zerg it becomes OP in certain "let the zerg do what it wants and then wonder why it has endless supply of army :D" which sadly is more of a map per map us issue and with the larva mechanic (by it I mean produce 10,20,50 of unit "X" at once) which becomes problem when zerg now got really cost efficient units like SH (or Infestor back in the day) and i mention maps where zergs can stack high amount of resources with minimum defense. And as for Protoos its flows both in mechanichs and everything has been said times and times again.

Well the game is not truly balance and not even close to it. The true problem lies at "they say that - numbers show its balanced, We tell it looks and feel imbalanced both for players and viewers -> which leads to frustration even if your player won against "the OP", I don't know if I'm of the minority of people(most of people i know that have stopped watching said almost the same) that gets this feeling in the last couple of months with HOTS,the meta and the current state of units and strats.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but i agree with Dwayn. Additionally, with forcefields a protoss can make any engagement efficient and they can also defend well using them too.

If the vote was what race is the most underpowered, it would be zerg. There is one fix that can balance it all out: make widow mines visible. Or make banelings ranged while burrowed and be able to attack air (that would make just as much sense as a widow mine).

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

why protoss is the most voted? when all protoss do is defend and defend and use forcefield to survive?? other races are better than toss since u can be agressive with them.

I do with blizzard was more frequent with their custom maps. Even just having maps where programers (cough cough flash) can make a suggestion and a map, and then test it out. I would love to try out a custom map with 2 supply tanks.

I am a mid masters zerg on NA and i have a
45% ZvP
30% ZvT
65% ZvZ

sure this is only within the past few months, but here is my explanations...

In ZvP, Zerg just has a horrible selection of anti air. Every Protoss I see now goes stargate. The only zerg unit that can even really stand up to that is hydras, which are the most aweful unit in this game. They are way overpriced, require 2 expensive upgrades just to be at all viable, but still are one of the least cost efficient units in the game. And after being forcefielded, and/or attacked by any zealots, die in seconds, never being able to do any damage. A well balanced toss army (not hard to get) will destroy almost any zerg composition in higher numbers.

I don't however, feel that protoss is unbeatable for zerg, the matchup still makes sense, considering 'most' zerg units are viable at some point in the games.

For those who don't know much about ZvT though... oh boy, it is a nightmare.
Zerg tries very hard to get up on 3 bases quick, and can usually sustain through the hellion/reaper harass, but after that is over, comes the endless waves of marine mine. The terran comes knocking on the zergs front door with a scary push. If the zerg "wins" the battle, he is left with little to nothing left, as all of the banelings/zerglings were killed in the fight, and another push is on its way. They do this over and over, being unbelievable cost efficient, while freely expanding all over the map. and if you happen to lose one of the many fights that push at you, you have pretty much just lost the game... one misclick, and oops, just lost 800/200 worth of lings and banes to a single 75/25 unit, but it is still there to do it again in a few minutes. oh you got distracted for 15 seconds? well that was enough time for a 10 food drop to kill an entire expansion. Lets try to scout around to deny expansions. Well the terran has freely taken 5 bases and defends with planetary fortresses, which takes a maxed zerg army just to kill, assuming you can leave your base for 2 minutes without a bio push taking out everything you have. half of the zerg units are completely useless in ZvT, roaches and hydras are more expensive and have half the DPS of a bio army. swarm hosts are less mobile than mech, and vipers really dont serve much purpose against an easily retreatable ball of marines. The only decent way to win against terran is to get lucky with an early all-in, but even if you bring him down to 1 mining base, with you on 3, he can still come back and win. Finishing a Terran off is nearly impossible, considering how easy it is for them to defend. But in a long macro game, it is nearly impossible for Zerg to take the win.

The biggest problem here is the widow mine. it more than pays for itself 95% of the time. even if it hits a single muta, it has already killed double its value, then count for the 4 mines that take out a flock of 20.

I dont expect to see much change in the game, but i was pretty disappointed to see jaedong, one of the best zergs in the world go 0-4 against polt and bomber, for basically all of the same reasons ive put here.

(Sorry for the long rant lol, but I seriously almost never see a zerg win a macro game vs terran)

It's not that Zerg is weak it is that there are SOOOOOO many zerg players
what do you do when you get ahead? GET MORE AHEAD!

Im a terran player and I voted for Terran. Even if TvP might be a nightmare past a certain time, i still think Terran is the best designed overall and has the *potential* to outplay any race at almost any time.

If the vote was what race is the most underpowered, it would be zerg. There is one fix that can balance it all out: make widow mines visible. Or make banelings ranged while burrowed and be able to attack air (that would make just as much sense as a widow mine).


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 love how you choose to combat idiocy with being an idiot yourself. Its a shame I completely agree with your first statement.

Clicked terran. I feel the endless biopushes against zerg are too strong. There's no real way to put solid aggression on a terran anymore without doing something like a roach bane allin. The current midgame consists of defending endless waves of bio while waiting for a mistake on their part while defending perfectly yourself. If you manage to break through, I feel the game is open again and more fun.

Which by the way needs to happen before terran reaches 3-3, as there's no way to get 3-3 yourself while defending vs these pushes, because you need every 25 spare gas to make banelings.

Not really sure what can be done to fix this without making widow mines obsolete.

I feel protoss is in a really good state atm - pretty balanced and really fun zvp, and tvp is cool too. I actually even like pvp, since it's no longer a game of trying to get more colossi than your opponent.

@ InfusedTT.DaZe Protoss "is" the joke. How can a race be so broken.


I was also of this opinion about a year ago. But then i realized that mutas dont care about FFs
On a serious note tho.... engage the protoss early on the field to make him waste FFs, then back off and engage once more!

Haha that poll !

Interesting, because I just got aware of Street Fighter 2 Super Turbo esports scene, and was a bit surprised to learn that the game is actually imbalanced, that there's an official list of "which fighers are better in X or X match-up", and that seems not to harm that much the game...


prolly because unlike in sc2 you don't just play one fighter, you play them all (or at least more than one) right?
The reason that sc2 is different in that racial imbalances cause the game to suffer is that, if one race is blatantly weaker/stronger than the others, people will get frustrated with playing because they can't really just switch their race like fighters in a fighting game.


My 2/cts off-topic :
Pro SF2ST players play 2 fighters. They'll obviously know very well every others characters but more like : This guy's can do that specific mid air attack, and i should answer to this with move A with my main and move A' with my second fighter.
You can't even expect to be as good as a focused player by playing every fighters of this game.
And i believe it's as difficult as in SC2 to switch race/fighters

However, you're not that far of the truth cause smart player will choose X and Y fighters to end up having a "bad" XvZ matchup but good YvZ (if you see where i'm going here... )

On-Topic (2 cts also):
Voted balanced, mostly due to the games i saw in WCS
I'll try to explain with my poor english:
While playing a very similar style vs T, Scarlett and Jeadong ended with .... different results.
You should probably refined this using TL / LP but I think ZvT games she won pretty much every time with 3hatch into muta/ling muta and skipping roach without having that much of mutas hit by widow mines.
While Jeadong lost 0-4 to Bomber trying this 3 times.
I think Jeadong did suffer these loss cause A/ he played only P on the previous games B/ Bomber studyied Scarlett' muta/ling/bane play and adapt very well (no marauders, more mines and quicker claws [Oh, and unbelievable macro])

These games demonstrate to me how much we still have to discover in term of builds and metagame.
With slight adjustements, Bomber did crush a playstyle that I found incredibly OP hours ago

Edit: LP told me i'm a faggot. I must edit that quick

Zerg voting Terran. Funny thing is if you compare HotS ZvT to WoL ZvT, things haven't changed all that much, but what has changed has all benefited Terran pretty much, imo. Remember when you use to try to rush to mutas in ZvT to keep a terran "in his base" so you can freely drone up your 3rd/4th base and tech up. Well you just can't harrass a terran with mutas in the same way anymore, 1 widow mine shot and gg, so they are almost purely a defensive unit now because of the widow mine.

Endless bio pushes supported by medivacs and tanks were also tough to deal with in WoL but with the actual chance to punish a mistake made by the terran. You could actually chase down the medivacs and bring the fight to the terran front door. You can't do this at all in HotS thanks to Medivac speed boost and again the widow mine. So you are forced to just defend while waiting for what? Somehow make it to Hive tech and 3/3 upgrades? Out-expand the terran and win a war of attrition? Hope the Terran throws away too much and you take back the initiative? Not sure if the last point is even possible. Why bang your head against a wall like this, let's just roach/baneling all in, who cares if it works or not at least the game will be over soon.

I think hots is pretty balanced.
but it is like t>z>p>t

I think terran has a slight advantage overall. The lategame combo from taeja with viking mass ghost + mass command center is pretty much as strong as late game toss combos... so also there toss has no advantage anymore for toss.

also SW Viper + infestor is lategame imho stronger than toss also easier to play since SW have a stupid design... they produce an endless stream of free units and the toss has to defend perfectly...
it's like bio mine for terran against zerg... zerg has to defend perfectly against this combo...
one mistake and as toss you are done against SH viper same goes for bio mine as zerg...

Like I said it is balanced.. . but often doesn't feel that way since the matchups themselfs favor one or the other race in terms of effort vs. cost

I like the Brood War order of balance. Seems pretty good at the pro level, though ever since HotS came out my ZvT has gone to hell...

I agree with the general pecking order of T > Z > P > T, but it's not significant. I believe both zergs problems with biomine and terrans problems with toss are blips in the current metagame that will likely get solved.

Then I don't think you noticed the word "significant".

Terran does have the unique position of being immune to build order losses in the early game. Unless you're doing something pants-on-head retarded, you can live through anything and not automatically die.

I'm Protoss and I am physically incapable of beating Zerg unless they 6pool me (or I get matched up against a Bronze who one-base Roach "rushes" me after my 2 base Void Rays are out. What the hell, automated matchmaking?).

I don't think Zerg is imbalanced though, I just think I have no idea how to play the matchup.

Terran is the strongest race. Whether people actually have the control to use Terran is a different story though.

The only reason a Terran dies is because the can't ID the Templar Transition until its too late. And in all honesty most Terrans suck with EMP.

First will start with the following suggestion:

Think that instead of a poll of the caliber - which RACE you think is too strong, there rather should be a poll of the following:
==>> Which UNIT do you think is most broken.. ??

====================================================================
Expectance TBH should be that the Widow-Mine be the winner in that regard with the VoidRay and Ultralisk, (and some votes from Protosses around for the Mutalisk) slightly lacking behind.. The problem though there is - the VoidRay will certainly win, cause nearly all Terrans have the "strictly designed" mindset (unless those who played the other races as well) that Protoss is OP, as well as some of the Zergs who have problems in ZvP on some maps losing hatches to Voids will vote for the unit too.., Also - expect that from the other 2 races there will be less "strictly distinct" judgement to the strong units of the other 2 races overall, cause they don't have clearly one matchup being dissatisfied of while taking a pride of having a winning edge over the other.. Ofcourse - don't blame the Terrans though TBH cause it's literally like hitting a brick-wall fighting Protoss late game.., But the BIG PROBLEM all will have is that ==> everyone, as well as Blizz - will overall end up getting the wrong picture of things..

Terran's weakness ins't in Protoss too strong, it's cause Terran can't play anything but bio in the matchup.. There are quite a few Terrans that tried to Mech me in TvP, and whenever I see that comming, I just add up like 2-3 Stargates and go for Voidrays chrono galore.. And even if that doesn't happen, say for example if after a hellbat/mine drop or sth Terran decides to go back to bio again, then I won't lose cause upgraded Voids are pretty good vs Marines too as long as the guy isn't bonjwa that plays against me.. And if he persists going mech but doesn't push really surgically perfect soon - then I just add a round of Tempests or 2 and he's again - even more screwed cause my army not that is just more mobile, but outranges his as well..

But let's be honest - the game would literally suck if Marines could kill all Stargate units (as if the VoidRay got a nerf), and the reason why there is a relatively shitty TvP meta is the fact that the very same problem exists on the other side - in the form that Colossus is killing all that comes out of the Barracks

====================================================================
I play random with tendention to like the Zerg the most, as well as tending to have best performances and most win percentage with Protoss cause of not being in a higher league.. However - apart of most of the Terrans around (assume a huuge number of them never ever played another race) I think that it's a Terran problem rather than Protoss problem that the TvP is a hard matchup..
====================================================================

So - having that in mind - problem is that Terran can't quite combine mech/bio or go mech vs Protoss.. And even furhter - think that the abscence of strength in mech vs Protoss lies in the fact how the Widow-Mine works.. 40 seconds recharge-time, no significant position-keeping abilities, weak and if not even non-existant board-control for assisting the other mech units, just a fail across the board there.. Cause at the end - in a 200/200 situation Protoss can just wait like another 15 seconds before engaging the Terran mech army to gather up mineral bank and "sac" the first group of Zealots and replenish them with fresh new warped-in Zealots (with the Mines defused this time) and nearly run over Terran without even caring about the mines being a frozen supply for the Terran while fighting..

So - IMO - the MINE needs be changed IMMEDIATELY.. I really hate the fact that Blizz refuses to change that thing in result of a nerf vs Zerg and buff vs Protoss.. I really can't see that "Ignorance" from their side to see the problem and at least try/experiment for a good fix.. Instead we see like stupid things like Buffing the Ultra (I already from my ZvT wins can sweak like 70% of them were direct Ultra wins, maybe even 80%, or 90% - DIRECT ZvT wins cause of the Ultralisk.., as well as there are already a number of Terrans who'd and already did - insta-leave when the see a group of Ultralisks.. , and now they - who'd have thought --> decided to buff it further, lol)

====================================================================
And TRUE that they really did a good job with seeing the increased Overseer's speed need in ZvT, which almost all agreed (Those Terrans who disagree are ignorrant by nature here, cause if anyone - it's Protoss who should complain about that change cause of not good DT harass late game)..

Now - true that was a good change, but is by far not enough.. Not enough at all, and I dislike the fact that there might be a period following of acting like if it was.., and act like a "nominee" or sth for like next elections or sth because of one good thing as if balancing your own created game was some kind of politics..

Well - TRUE that it was a start, but in order for everyone to get the "whole package" and good spot - really think that Blizz should REALLY take a close look at the way how the mine works.. Personally TBH from my own point of view - apart from changing the mine, I honestly - in order to do it properly, don't see any other way..
Another world, another place, another universe, won the race.. :) ;) :P

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.

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).

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.

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.


PvZ has never been better in the entire time of SC2!

And well, the poll results are as expectde, aren't they? :D

Haha that poll !

Interesting, because I just got aware of Street Fighter 2 Super Turbo esports scene, and was a bit surprised to learn that the game is actually imbalanced, that there's an official list of "which fighers are better in X or X match-up", and that seems not to harm that much the game...


That's the case in every fighting game. They're all imbalanced. It's shitty.

PvZ -> balanced
TvP -> need more time to say, toss was doing better, but now things are starting to looks better
ZvT ->zerg looks the weaker, but only when top top top tier players are playing

Terran caught up in the poll. lol. Then again Zerg whine has always been louder than the whining from the other two races.
