Lots of things. There's just a lot of problems in some areas.
Kind of like Europe. Or South America. Or Venezuela. Or China. Etc, etc, etc.

Oh please. You have no technical knowledge of anything.

Hope the balance team is watching recent games. They want tanks back into the equation but I do agree with you.. The game seems fairly balanced right now at the highest level, the real concern should be the maps..Make them like proleague's and you will never have this same stale meta every game.. Anyway nice internet New York! The thing is that you could almost argue that zerg is having a upper hand at the highest level of play, so there might still be room for tanks. I just don´t know if I really like this new 30-40 muta metagame tbh. Tanks aren't going to help against a giant ball of mutas that can kill just about anything and go anywhere. Mutas are definitely the biggest problem I have with the XvZ metagame right now, as they're just frustrating as hell to watch.
On mutas, I think a sensible change would be to make the regen start after 1min or 1.5mins of idle no fighting time... seems the regen begins too fast making mutas wayyy too strong, if you don't kill them right then and there they are basically brand new for the next engagement...
For tanks to be viable again, they need to up the dmg tanks do and imo they should bring back the siege upgrade (high dmg tanks with auto siege upgrade makes for some really cruddy early timing pushes probably)
And they need to get rid of the viper or atleast get rid of that stupid abduct move that literally renders any unit of value useless as they just get yoinked into zerg army... why waste money on tanks or expensive collosi when it's just going to get yoinked & killed without doing anything...

No. Being condescent and cynic.
Sure everyone does not know what they are talking about if you don't agree with it...
See ? It's annoying.
People are not happy. They are complaining. You could maybe say : "No this is not possible because this and that". But in place of that you are just being condescendent.
Also wrong. But that's not a problem. We could discuss it if you did not have this tone.
Well i may be a little too aggressive but come on man..

So Now everyone notices the problem with mutapacks in SC2. edit: considering the results of terrans in general though mine nerf might still do the trick.
Well, the thing is, it's really hard to get to that kind of mutapack. Sometimes impossible.

The main issue is that they require "only" good movements, almost no micro whatsoever.
Can understand Zergs though as there aren't many others way around, except cheese/timings. Such high level Terrans won't let you live long enough to get to late tech units if you stop making them, and lings/banelings obviously don't scale too well vs upgraded infantry.
That's still a very dangerous way to play though.
Agreed on the boring part anyway...

Not all of them of course, but there's almost no empty space around the naturals and such. Curious took huge risks by being that aggressive, and got rewarded because of it.

Killing 3-4 mutas in such a scenario wouldn't have mattered when something actually much worse (for Zerg) happened after a massive oversight from Curious. Mutas can also suddenly change their direction and you have to keep up with 2, possibly 3 different groups while exposing your Mines or Medivacs to snipes, etc., or they can simply fly along the limits of the map while ignoring Marines, not losing much in the process. There isn't even much risk involved in such a harass because Zerg gets ~900 gas per minut and doesn't need to morph Banelings when Marines/Mines are busy chasing mutas for several minuts. Someone is having a hard time versus zerg on ladder :p
Every Terran has experienced the effects of mass mutas in its TvZ, it's not about only me. You can see the same thing with the best TvZs in the world.

From Flash vs Curious to selling us massive touchtables? Great.

I do too sometimes  . I don't really like mutas, but I don't really think they're op.

A colossal marketing fuckup.
