That just goes to show that you can't really balance a game with 3 distinct races. Balance will always favor one raxe or another. Blizzard can change the winning race with a patch just to shake things up. But the game can never really be balanced. not really. according to terrans, protoss needed a nerf but when terrans win, protoss just has to adapt  | ||

It's been a few weeks, can we at least wait and see before deciding that Terran is now OP? | ||

People crying OP before any major tournaments even complete after the patch, just like when HotS came out and everyone cried OP and Terran got nerfed to garbage which started this whole fiasco. | ||

We want to see the best players fighting it out, not the best races. At least I want that | ||

Time Warp needs to be laid with much more carefulness now which impacts every P match-ups (notably PvP by the way where immortal/chargelot/archon is slowly fading away to favor heavy colossi styles) and mines are back to what they should have never ceased to be : a powerful zoning unit and a real early game threat. I'm not surprised at all the effects of the patch are of this magnitude, and yeah, Protoss players will definitely need some time to adapt, but as usual when a race was slightly favored the cream of the Protoss will remain : Rain, Zest or PartinG will show us how it's meant to be done, I'm sure ! great that the patch finally changed something. But Protoss who use observers are still save vs WM, as well as Toss that don't play too greedy. Also I like how you point out, that the timewarp ability now needs carefulness. Stating that before that you could basicly do whatever you want with it and didn't have to care at all, which is plain wrong as every wrong casted cast should throw you a bit behind, not matter at all. | ||

Now you see the average run-of-the-mill protosses who have dominated the highest level of the game for the past 6 months drop like flies. It is refreshing. besides, Maru AND Reality are two top level players who definitely belong in the ro16 so I dont see what the problem is. It isn't like protosses didn't win any games today, they just didn't get out of the group. exaclty what the problem was there, the games state of balance brought players to a "level" where they never really belonged to | ||

There will almost always be a game between a player who has something on the line - and someone who just doesn't give a shit if he wins or loses, because he's out anyway. | ||

Problem is that Users nowadays are too quick at complaining about everything all the time. Instead of waiting how players will adapt and figure out the new meta (play less greedy, make observers etc). By playing less greedy I mean: all games the protosses lost, they skipped 2-3 units to get faster tech or nexus - of course this opens opportunities for the WM to hit. But basically this shows how save (safe?) protoss were the last couple of months: it is still annoying to see like 3 units kept at home being enough to defend a 2-3 medivac drop. There have been so many things considered as being OP since WoL came out (T:Mules, Medivacs, Ghosts/EMP, P: Warpin, Colossi, Void Rays, Blink, DTs, Storm... basically everything :D, Z: Banelings, Infestors, Roaches at 1 Supply, Brood Lords, Queens after Patch...) So every race had their share of being "imba" and the most things got figured out after some time. Same in Hots: Medivac Boost? Hellbats? Swarm Hosts, Mothership Core/Nexus Cannon, Tempest | ||
