Sure but how does lowering Baneling HP help Protoss at all? The primary thing that Banelings are used to kill in PvZ are Zealots and Adepts, neither unit has the range, DPS or micro capability to counter Banelings the way that Marines and Marauders do. So all you're doing by nerfing their HP is making them easier to kill with Storm, Collosus or Stalkers, and the difference there is minimal. The reason they don't nerf Baneling hit points is because it has a BIGGER impact in TvZ than in PvZ. The Pros already ran the numbers on this the last time it was proposed. It's a bigger change in the match up that doesn't need it. | ||

This has been like this for years and years, design changes are needed. | ||

The only way to win a series is by surprising the zerg, and only the likes of parting can pull that off. Stats is just not that kind of protoss, and his style doesn't work at all in top level pvz. This has been like this for years and years, design changes are needed. Blame lotv eco | ||

Well it's unrealistic to think Blizz will invest in redesigning their game at this point. So yes, just accept that races work in a certain way and some players are so good they master the best race to a point it looks unbeatable. Stats playstyle will never beat player such as Rogue in The bo7. On the other hand, I rarely see Rogue win against aggro tosses like Parting and Zest in bo3. So is the game designed in a balanced way? Surely not. If all races just hold back and macro up Zerg will crush the other two with 200 supply against 150 in a couple of minutes. Is it fair? Probably not. Does the game allow all races to have a chance to win under certain circumstances? Yes. And I think that is the best we will ever gonna get | ||

Like, what soO and Dark were doing during 2017 or 2018? If soO and Dark didn't choke they would have won more than anyone else. Hell by last year even they were picking up world championships. Also Rogue's year came before Serrals, and people complained about balance then as well, they just stopped when Serral became #1 zerg. | ||

Today we only have glaives and we all know how that bulid goes 90% of the time. | ||

So far in 2020, the only Protoss who won a Premier tournament, won the tournament because a Top Zerg wasn't present, and that's Neeb from ESL NA. Coincidence? I think not. At this point this isn't even balance whining, just spitting out facts | ||
