because these long distances have historically been pretty balanced. Whirlwind was 230-264. Alterzim was 43-26 for Terran against Zerg. Frost was again very balanced (though obviously it has different spawns).

As long as the map imbalance plays out steadily over the course of a 30 minute game and not quickly in a 15 minute push, it's fine, don't worry about it.

It just looks extremely silly having one player have a lead inherently. Bbyong played this game from behind all game long because Roro could go so so so greedy...

Terran has 2 production cycles of supply not participating in the army at all times, which is very bad when parade pushing.

As a side note, it is so odd that the patch for maps and balance is coming in AFTER Code A...


Why is it odd? Would be unfair to other players that played before today

It's unfair regardless

You either shaft all players of P/Z, all players of T or half of each, but given the Code S season is on the patch, the qualifier would be better if it were as well.

Much more than that, it would be unfair to the players that play these days. Patching during ongoing tournaments has been critizised heavily by casters/players, because you can't prepare for it.

There are big differences with those maps... Alterzim was great for Terran because you could play greedier vs Z.

It's the best indicator we have. If you don't like that, you can take me to a PM flame war about how on big maps it's impossible to attack as zerg, how you have to stay at home all game with mutas because of drops and so on and so on. I can bring PLENTY of downsides for Zergs on bigger maps and at the end of the day it's going to be arguments against arguments.
With the only real evidence being that winrates are good.

Yes Protoss is doing better then the other 2 races, but it would be nice to see no balance whine for once

So you'd rather maps were back to Steppes of War sized?
