Yeah no kidding, BL/infestor was literally nothing but pages of hate and balance whine warnings in every single LR thread, and people getting banned (including me a few times) left and right. It was a level of hate far above what Protoss is getting now.

Yes, it was definitely this bad with Zerg. Not so much Terran, because Terran's dominance was due to the really high skill ceiling (so we saw some awesome plays, and TvT is undoubtedly the best mirror), but people were fucking PISSED in the days of Z dominance.

in my opinion you can zone stalkers better with widowmines and they are more cost effective if you hit stalkers with them, but im really bad at sc2!

2 boring protoss will battle it out with boring unit compositions in the finals. Yay. I don't care who has the most colossi left at the end of an engagement so I won't watch.
sOs and herO boring? Good god. If that is your opinion, maybe you should watch more of these players (and more PvP).
Man...

Hardcore Protoss players may feel otherwise, but the hate vs Terran and Zerg was just as bad. Hell even a TL admin was bitching about Zerg on twitter at the time of BL/Infestor. I don't think it was as bad against terran, but it lasted longer. It was just kinda "marines imba". I think it was just as bad for zerg. BL/Infestor definitely got the most hate. Terran hate seemed to come and go. Most of it came during the open seasons of WOL with SCV pulls. I think for the most part, the hate didn't boil over because most of the OP stuff got nerfed relatively quickly (rightly so). I mean, can you imagine the backlash if 5 rax reapers won 4 straight premiere tournaments?

At broodlord + infestor days it WAS NOT problem for everyone in LADDER. Me and couple others had over 60% winrate mid-high masters against zerg. Anyway, biggest thing is that broodlord infestor power was superlategame and you could scout, react and do anything you want before that. Against blink you don't know what is happening outside of your base and if you guess wrong you most likely die. Still, even if it's strong guys. It's not necessasrily broken. Polt and many do incredibly well. We didn't have many terrans in this tournament but many got thru to semifinals. (Like all?) Couple map fixes and a change might not even be needed if we figure something little out about scouting the transition.

Meh, even as a Terran PvP is actually really good to watch these days. That's the main reason I don't think MSC should be nerfed, because it stabilizes PvP so much.
I like the one guy's idea about moving Time Warp to Twilight Council research, it'd weaken blink all ins considerably without making MSC useless. Maybe even make it like warp gates where it's really cheap but just takes a while to research so that it's just delayed and not prohibitive to get.

Maybe it's not enough, maybe it is but players haven't adapted yet, but at least Blizzard did something.

It was the same with Zergs back then...
Hell, Terrans that pull SCVs get the same hate now... Protoss aren't special...
