I'm sorry but I don't agree with your attitude. I think there should be a bit more patience so that they can try to analyze what is up. I'm sure there is a lot of tweaking to be done, and maybe other strategical options will open up with units like the stalker.

hey dude

I know you don't actually play, you just follow whatever top eastern european is doing well atm but:
I play and quiet well, ty very much

Toss is doing terribly because of some imbalances in a beta. If we patiently fold our hands and accept this blizzard won't hear the problems. It isn't some strange coincidence EVERY SINGLE P has started to lose more than they win. It isn't some strange occurrence that it goes from having a ton of P's in top 8 to nearly NONE.

But I love the lecture on patience. That shit is deep bro.

Yea just look at how Dimaga slaughtered Lucifron with his unstoppable banelings
I understand the signs are alarming, but you gotta give it a bit more time. How long did it took tosses to deviate from gate-core against z? Much much more then 1 week.

The biggest problem that I see is that people need to be a little bit more creative...
I am in platinum league and all you ever see is the same strat like its been cemented into the game for years, while to this day in bw we are finding different ways of doing things.
so why? the game will never be and should never be balanced to 100% because that will only lead to hard counters and it will only kill our options
I've tried some things with zerg that I havent seen anybody try and found great success.
Really I think we are trying to play this game with the basis of BW but at the same time forgetting some fundamental innovations from BW.
I don't want to get into what I am doing, but I think people need to open up their minds and hopefully a post like this will lead somebody that reads it to open their minds to try new things.
If we want to balance this game to the point where we are doing 14 pool 16 queen and whatever up to 200 than our game will not last very long!
good luck have fun!

For anyone who is interested, here are all of the numbers from the last three weeks side by side:
4-Mar 10-Mar 18-Mar
Stats currently among the top 8 ranks:
Zerg:
29>>>47>>>52
Protoss:
28>>>39>>>31
Terran:
15>>>36>>>51
Random:
7>>>14>>>17
Total:
79>>136>>151


#1 LeadeR Ranks Only:
5 Protoss 8 Protoss 1 Protoss
3 Zerg 4 Zerg 9 Zerg
2 Terran 3 Terran 7 Terran
0 Random 2 Random 2 Random

It appears that Protoss are in fact falling behind. Keep in mind that the total number of "top 8" slots grew from 136 to 151 yet the amount of Protoss players fell from 39 to 31. Furthermore, among #1 ranked players Protoss went from holding 8 to 1 spots, an 87% decrease.
If you are not confused, then you are not paying attention.

PATIENCE GUYS THOSE NUMBERS WILL FLIP AROUND WHEN THE COLLECTIVE P'S PLAY WITH "creativity" WTF?

Sorry..but I am usually the LAST person to complain about imbalances. This however, is inexcusable. There needs to be a change or else the # of P's will decrease.. not just wins, this will become another war3 where a certain race is a ghost.

This may or may not be an overreaction.
Its a few weeks into the beta - it's not as if the game has even been released. Its fair to say blizzard is going to notice this, nerf terran and zerg in ways they seem appropriate versus protoss, and then protoss will be drastically overpowered - causing more people to flip out.

Look out GNoMey - my new account is rank 20 after 2 days in plat div 3 with 18-3 record rofl

Plat div 3 seems to have gotten a makeover - like half the people in the 20-50 slots have recently joined division icon, and only ~50 players.

warp gate nerf was necessary, the previous strength only masked protoss's weakness which now needs to be addressed
