I think the problem might be in tech switching.
If Zerg gets to a tech, they have the longest waiting time to get new units. Lair and Hive take a lot of time, and so do the extra buildings. Might the problem be that most mid- game Zerg units have hardcounters and it's very hard to switch your tech? Maybe Hydra/Muta with mass expand for gas will work!?!
Also, Zergs T3 is sooo late compared to Protoss' or Terrans. Terran has to build an Armory, the Thor could even be considered Mid game, as fast as it can come. The Collosus is a bit later, but it's still WAAAAAAAAAAAY before Broodlords or Ultras even get their tech buidlings started!?
Maybe people hate working hard to get to a tech, to see it hardcountered and untransitionable?

Let's not forget the fact that to alot of people (including me) Zerg are flat out boring to play. It has nothing to do with how good or balanced the race is, sometimes.

Although true, it's exactly the same the other way around.
There are people that find Zerg interesting and Terran and Protoss boring.
So that probably cancels itself out by default.
EDIT: grammar.

Now instead of top 100, try top 50, then top 20 and top 10, and you'll see protoss vanish, terran be dominant with zerg on 2nd 
On another thread with winning rates, above 70% it was
11 T
4 P
4 Z
above 75%
5 T
2 Z
Highest with 80%
T

I dislike the non-use of the Zerg Race. I love Zerg but they are imho too weak. Switched to Protoss.

i wonder if these figures will still be like this when release happens
|
Look at the korean server and see the difference...
|
I think its settled then, zerg players apparently need to practice more.
|
3 Zergs in the Top25...
Why am I not surprised.
|
i like the numbers. Somewhat surprising

As a regular scrub player (a platinum Z) i don't find race imbalance a problem.
It is annoying to get killed by the same early tank push, but i cant bring my self to call imba. I've beat Ts with the same muta tech switch multiple games in a row, does that mean its imba?
I cant call imba because I'm not good enough to. I always feel that a better zerg could have handled the situation, or a better T could have defended. Seeing even a few zergs amongst the top players validates this for me.
So yes, the stats don't favor the zergs at the nose bleed high level play, but there not ridiculously skewed like 4 Zs, 38 Ps, 60 Ts. So for my level of play the game is effectively balanced. And until I am good enough to be in the nose bleed end of the ladder i feel i can't claim otherwise, stats be dambed.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
