If they haven't reacted by now they're not going to for a while. Yes but, I'm not interested in them (DK and Browder) reading the complaints here on TL, I'm interested in filing a formal complaint so that their own departments, quality control, public relations, customer service, whatever, can see it and take action. I'm not interested in what DK thinks any more, I think he should be fired for doing a terrible job and someone more competent should be put in charge. Sorry for derailing the LR thread. | ||

I don't for one second believe that some players are playing better on the day and some aren't. ...that said I do love all the terran matchups more than any other. So this GSL season isn't too interesting to me unless Maru goes wreckingballmode on them. TheBest also gonna wreck this season. More likely though, Ryung and Dream have a doable group. Especially compared to group I and J. EDIT: @Above: Sure you can file a complaint about David Kim and Dustin Browder to Blizzard. I'm sure they'll action that asap, fire those two and put another game designer that also okayed the changes you seem to hate so much that's a part of the team. Haha. Words of wisdom (^^)v And keep faith. I think there is still some hope for having 6 terrans in code S. | ||

It's weird how Proleague became so Terran dominated all the sudden. | ||

There are so few terrans that could be played by those teams, and they choose to play even fewer of them, so the very best terrans get fielded on the every best terran maps, well prepared for protoss. And they are fed very weak players such as Stork and Emotion. Even then, if you take out the very best two terrans, the winrate is 50%... | ||

There's that many more of them, and bo1 setups favor Protoss in general. Look at the beginning of the Hots portion of Proleague last year. Was Protoss broken? Not even close. Were they still fielded way more than everyone else? You betcha | ||

By definition, over a long enough time period winrates will always trend towards 0 since players who lose more will no longer play against top level players. We have already seen this with Terrans in general moving far down the ladder, and being severely underrepresented in tournament brackets. The win rates only look marginally passable because there are no Terrans left to lose games. In WCS America, Terran currently constitutes 2/12 players who have made it through challenger. In Europe, they represent only 3/16 players. And we all know how Korea has gone (1/17 through Code A; 2/24 in Code S). Quite literally Terrans best tournament representation is in the range of 18%, and the total representation across all the aforementioned tournaments is a shocking 11%. And this is without even mentioning GM/Bronze distribution, in which Terran is significantly over/under represented. The best way to keep ladder win rates at 50% is by moving all the Terrans into bronze league. | ||

Hell, Creator suffered a lot with the transition from WoL. That kind of incredibly solid defence set him apart from others in the matchup, now his stylistic trademark is gone and he doesn't get the benefit from his greedy play | ||
