Don't take it too seriously. I'm pretty happy we don't see a PvP finals again.

PvT is the best matchup in SC2 by far. TvZ is now blatantly predictable on both sides of the matchup.

If you play Protoss, PvT is the best. If you don't, it's probably third worst (behind other toss match ups.) Terran only has a small window to do anything and only god mode TvPers can play in late game.
TvZ is by far the best IMO, then TvT then ZvZ.

PvT is potentially the best only if you're toss, and I still know a high majority of Ps who strongly dislike PvT. I believe you're much of an exception on this one.
The vast consensus on 'what's the best race to watch' is that T > Z > P.
It's not you protoss' players fault, it's Blizzard's.

Agreed. Protoss is killing esports. It's terrible to watch any match-up involving Protoss. SC2 would be more popular if Protoss had some dynamic units.

I have never seen anyone who likes pvt more than tvz, pvt has less action, multitasking, interesting engagements compared to any other terran matchup. Protoss games are boring because if you lose an engagement and the toss has even 25% of his army left, they can come over and roll you because they can reinforce on the battlefield as opposed to in their base. Protoss matchups are way more about engagements since defenders advantage is way too small. This is why builds considered standard in pvt or pvz matchups are considered super greedy in pvp.
edit: i'm not saying protoss is op, nor am i commenting on balance, I actually think zerg is the strongest race atm due to map changes and the patches.

It all comes down to warpgate. It's weird how such an idea got into the end product to be honest.

Why were all the games so downrated? Were they all broodlord/infestor turtles and 2 base timings?

no not at all. for ZvP they were about as good as it can get. Probably a mixture of MC bias (cant blame them, hes awesome) and people hating the match up in general or people who still think zerg is imba for some reason.

Poor Protoss getting so much hate these days High level PvT isn't actually a terrible matchup these days, been a lot of good games I've enjoyed there lately. PvZ is terrible granted, but that's not just an issue with Protoss but Zerg.
Anyway, Rain's PvZ looks reminiscent of the warp-prism centric styles of HerO and JYP and is the best PvZ style to watch in my view, and DRG is pretty fearsome so the final could see some good games

Meh, don't worry about it, Wombat. A lot of the hate is misdirected, wrong, or just stupid (and sometimes, all three).
Thankfully, Blizzard will ignore most of the "feedback".

Well, especially when people are claiming TvZ is comparable to how it was months ago. I also facepalm with PvP whining. There are issues with the matchup, but people complained that there were no macro games, and now we see long macro games it's 'oh boring war of the worlds'
Myself I preferred PvP before they completely neutered warpgate pressure builds, but I will accept I'm very in the minority on this one

No, you aren't the only one. Personally, I prefer PvP as a 1 base micro-fest. That said, the neutering of 4 Gate (at least at the highest levels) has meant the slow development of PvP into the range of builds and playstyles prevalent today.

You seem to believe the complaints about PvX are isolated. It's actually a widely spread tendency.
Then again you're a Protoss player.
