WHat the fuck do you mean now?


Hey, despite how imbalanced it was in early 2014, the games were really good back then. Check out IEM Cologne.

Need those templar openings back.

It was frustrating though, because very few Terrans could deal with that at all. The fact that Polt went to the IEM Cologne finals is still bewildering to this very day for me.

they just had terran champion, they're getting an ssl champion. look man i just want more zergs to do well t.t

Then they should try to play more like Life, Rogue and Dark and less like soO <.<

Dark and Rogue have nothing on soO in top form.


When SoO was a monster some time ago, which one was his strongest feature? His insane macro, I suppose?

Yep. Dude rarely ever missed an inject.

I seriously doubt the designer who made it was sane, as it can't be a good Idea to make a game that is about war and strategy and then invent a spell that makes you win without war and strategy (well if you count blocking units it could be called a valuable strategy).
I really don't get so many design decisions about protoss. The forcefileds, the colossus (as an easy to use, High-damage-output AOE unit that needs no skill, I always thought such units shouldn't exist) and the warpins. And the many allins and bullshit tactics possible around this.

They always make me hate the protoss race so much, I don't watch the games with toss anymore.
While I understand it takes skill to use all these abilities to the max, Blizzard knows from the very early days of sc2 that there is a lot of hate about all that and so many people are frustrated because of these abilities.

I don't understand why blizzard doesn't want to change that 2/3 of the players are frustrated with the game. Of course every race is a little bit frustrated about 1-2 things about the other race (Fungals or Widow Mines) but with protoss there are SO MANY things to get frustrated about. I really don't understand why that can't be changed. Propably because Protoss would be less a technical race and more a mechanical, but this would make playing and watching it more fun. Like: having more powerful gateway units but not being required to have so many powerful spells.

And yeah, I guess I am salty, since this guy killed 2 of my favorite terrans with bullshit and stuff that make me mad about toss (because they seem to be easier to execute than to defend against) and now also one of the best zergs.
Allins shouldn't be THAT strong, srsly. And from a failed allin in the beginning you shouldn't be able to come back like that.

And yeah, I do understand that Trap played phenomenal, he wouldn't be able to beat Flash, Fantasy and Dark if he didn't.
Still, I hate these abilities, I wished Trap showed some phenomenal macro games without all that stuff.


You, and it seems the entirety of reddit, are so fucking mad right now. I get it though, FFs are dumb and have been dumb since day 1


To be fair he raises a good point. Nobody gets that upset about a Terran or Zerg winning, but when Protoss wins like that everyone loses their mind...

Every time Terrans win with mine drops and hellbat pushes people get upset like this. Every time a swarm host is built people get upset like this.



I don't know, feels like when Terran wins with widow mine drops everyone is like "It's your mistake for losing to it", when it's SH everyone is like "well what'cha gonna do about it? It's only viable way for Z", but when Protoss wins its like "PROTSOS WKSDFAFKLED PROTOSS FORCIEFIELDS AHAEWRRHH"



So true. My favorite whine is "Terrans need to SCV pull out of desperation".

Dark and Rogue both haven't reached their prime yet, and I was talking about current soO <.<.

Current soO isn't relevant and should be brought up until he wins season 2 gsl in a few months.

He won't, he'll get second place at best. And he is relevant as an example of how Zerg shouldn't play, at least against mech <.<.

First place at worst yes.
Actually he is extremely useful to study in he had really well refined builds and tactics.
Doesn't mean you should copy everything he did but his core and depth were far greater than people give him credit for.

Sigh Dark. When will you ever reach your potential. I'm just waiting for the day that SKT has a back to silver-surfer form soO and a Dark that shits on everybody he plays; as was predicted by BoxeR.

Edit: And Rain comes back from mYi, stops sucking, and SKT has best Protoss, best (?) two Terrans, and best two Zergs. Disgusting.

Allins shouldn't be THAT strong, srsly. And from a failed allin in the beginning you shouldn't be able to come back like that.

And yeah, I do understand that Trap played phenomenal, he wouldn't be able to beat Flash, Fantasy and Dark if he didn't.
Still, I hate these abilities, I wished Trap showed some phenomenal macro games without all that stuff.


You, and it seems the entirety of reddit, are so fucking mad right now. I get it though, FFs are dumb and have been dumb since day 1


To be fair he raises a good point. Nobody gets that upset about a Terran or Zerg winning, but when Protoss wins like that everyone loses their mind...


It's not news that every time protoss wins a game someone has something to say. We're used to it.


There's definitely a pattern, though. If you ask people about balance and design things, Protoss is the first thing to talk about. Not only about "Protoss so imba, pls nerf", but also "the only viable way to win as Protoss is to do stuff like X".

The thing is, outside of tournaments, people don't really see a reason to talk about it.


You act like people are rational about it. They will see a terran win a game with a drop when the toss is out of position, and scream "amazing game sense to drop now". The next game a protoss forcefields a ramp when the zerg is unprepared, and they're like "that's bullshit".



Thats why I brought in the point that in discussions like the ones for LotV, people still bring up the same points that people raise to balance whine in here.

That doesn't really happen to Terran and Zerg, their complaints are way more in line of "We need to balance economy", but for Protoss it's all about "remove X, remove Y, remove Z". With Colossi, Forcefields and Warp Gate tech being the most common ones.


Why should that make a difference when the complaints aren't rational?

people love it when Terrans win because Terran is the best race in the game, everyone knows this.

Zerg is ok, they can have a few. But, no one likes Protoss.


Terran is lame now that TvP sucks and TvT is in a slump.

Zerg 4tw
Now that TvP sucks?!?
WHat the fuck do you mean now?


Hey, despite how imbalanced it was in early 2014, the games were really good back then. Check out IEM Cologne.

Need those templar openings back.


We also need HerO back in shape

only if we get DongRaeGu back

And the Protoss hate is making me laugh so much. It's OK people, you can give one tournament to other races than Terran once in a while. Additionally, Trap rocks, and having at least one P in the finals was so predictable.

Well, no Terran's gonna win GSL, and we all know that's the only one that matters <.<

they just had terran champion, they're getting an ssl champion. look man i just want more zergs to do well t.t

Life can win code s.

i said more zergs, not one


Zerg is a game of highlander. There can only be one.
