Terran has a 67% winrate against P and 64% winrate against Z in proleague + fair representation in the other wcs regions. The terrans participating in GSL just had a bad season/were unlucky. Sure, there may be minor balance issues in the game, but these results are not symptomatic of any major imbalance, even though it doesn't bode well for the watchability of Code S (on paper, I'm sure we'll get to see a lot of good games either way : )).

I have a serious question here. Isn't it possible to file a formal complaint against David Kim and Dustin Browder?
I mean all companies have some sort of department that handles complaints against their employees for not doing their jobs properly, isn't it possible to do that in this case? I'm asking because honestly, I don't believe they are doing a good enough job and would like to see a good change for the game before LotV.


browder is doing his best to be sure skill isn't too important in heroes of the storm atm.


I know you wanted to be funny, but that was a serious question, I'm ready to file that complaint asap if I know it can be done or where it could be done.

They do read tl, and they have noticed the complaints (kim phan has an account here), hell kennigit had some interviews last year with Browder that included questions about some of the more stupid shit in the game. 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.

Just think...we might have a GSL Code S without a single TvT game... Holy shit...

Bbyong vs. Maru grand finals. Believe!


That's so upsetting though. Look at Proleague recently, TvT and TvZ are so exciting and strategic right now. More so than ever in HotS I think yet we will not see any of that in Code S of the biggest league in the world. WTF?

Its going to be horrible. ZvP galore. And if the trend continues everything will be Swarm Hosts. But hey, the ladder is 50% so all is fine and dandy


But hey, one tournament doesn't have equal number of terrans. It must be balance.

No, don't convince me otherwise. 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.

When I look at the lineups each week I see alot of green and maybe a few blue spots here and there. Maybe im color blind?

If you mean the winrate, it's simple. 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%...

Yeah and when in Code S one of the terrans will make it out of the first round and the other one will not, it will be exactly 50-50.

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

Looking at winrates in Proleague has zero relevance to balance.

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.

only ty/maru/flash in PL : )) and bo1 is not measure worthy, id say bo3 in gsl worth more than bo1 PL

terran so imba in PL, every team fields atleast 1 terran....not

btw fair representation in other wcs regions like


wcs america 5 P 2 T 5Z advanced to premier league so far

wcs eu 20 P 12 T 16 Z atm in challenger league, 11P 6T 9 Z qualified so the challenger league

Also sad is that PvT used to be a legit matchup entertainment wise. Parting/MKP, Polt vs anyone and Taeja at his peak made for classic games. Bombers relentless aggression while his opponents held on for grim life. HerO deciding not to turtle and flying warp prisms all over the show...

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

Are any of the games where innovation lost worth watching? I can't tell from the recommended game polls if they are genuinely bad games or just people are upset because innovation lost...
