That's a huge issue in any game, and funny enough it was the exact same thing that Terrans were crying their eyes out about in 2014. But hey, we can't have protoss asking for balance even after months of PvT winrates around 40%. Lib nerf did literally nothing. except making stalkers 33% more cost-efficient vs them. pre-patch winrates are completely irrelevant to current balance. | ||

The community has been Terran biased since forever and even liberators couldn't change that. It's just how it is | ||

But hey, we can't have protoss asking for balance even after months of PvT winrates around 40%. I understand where you are coming from, but you're missing a couple major factors that have changed for Protoss since the beginning of the year: 1. PvT winrates are at 50% for the past month, not 40%, and 55% in GSL. http://aligulac.com/periods/183/ http://aligulac.com/periods/184/ http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2017_Global_StarCraft_II_League_Season_1/Code_S_Statistics 2. Stats. He's arguably the best player in the world right now, having beaten Inno, Dark, ByuN, and TY (though he narrowly lost too) in recent days. Along with the Terran nerfs, there is a very strong case for PvT being balanced quite well at the moment, even Protoss favored. | ||

And then there's aLive, Ryung, Keen, Bunny. So many Terrans are so good all of a sudden, and so many great protoss champions are so bad. Just keep believing everything is fine. But is there also a patch to fix Terran sympathizer's sexual dysfunction? It's always darkest before dawn...or maybe just perpetual night. | ||

Where's the reddit threads? The balance whine in LRs? Do I really need to link you to examples in 2014? We had staff meetings specifically to address the problem of ridiculous balance whine. But hey, protoss has been doing far worse for months (statistically) than Terran ever did back then and it's perfectly fine. Blizzard made one change that doesn't address the core issue and everything is great again. Terran back then was perfectly fine statistics-wise. Only that they couldn't win if protoss played correctly. It's the same now, only that protoss also isn't fine statistically. | ||

Did you just completely ignore both my post about statistics along with those statistics themselves? Protoss on Aligulac since February 16th - Now: 50% Protoss in GSL Code S: 55% versus Terran for both, obviously. I can understand the balance frustration but if you just outright bury your head in the sand and whine without any evidence to justify (and in fact evidence that directly contradicts your whining) then you aren't going to get very far. | ||
