However, Idra vs Drewbie really shows what my zvts could be like and I definitely don't think I could beat that terran ball. Put a player with progamer mechanics in a late game tvz and they won't lose. | ||

Haha. Well sometimes it seems true. Flash vs Zero on ps and Flash vs Kwanro on roadrunner come to mind | ||

They are certainly not as imba as people are making them out to be, and I hardly think that ZvT is unwinnable or as impossible as people say either. Race balance among the top 10K (points) seems to be even as the average win percentage of all races is 59%. Terran 59.73%, Protoss 59.33, Zerg 59.08. However Sentient has pointed out that the percentage of Terran increases as the sample size decreases which could suggest that Terran are stronger than the other races. Granted this could be due to other factors, but it is something to note. 44% of the Top 200 are Terran vs 29% of the TOP 10K. Also, Tamerlane points this out in the Ladder stats thread (see above). Source I realize that this doesn't really mean much, but if Zerg or even ZvT was as super imba as some Zergs are making it out to be then you'd see a much bigger skew. I don't think that the game is perfectly balanced at all, but neither was Brood War. | ||

1. Use your drone to kill the SCV making the barracks - if its earlier use it to kill the scv making the Supply depo. It just makes people hate. No matter what they do your drone will kill the SCV before they react and bring one to kill yours. It slows them down to begin with espicially if you can hit the one doing the Supply depo as it supply blocks them for a few moments allowing you to get a small gap ahead. | ||

I don't think that the game is perfectly balanced at all, but neither was Brood War. No you wouldn't. The matchmaker would compensate and zerg's matchmaking ratings would be lower so they'd face weaker terrans and still maintain the same win %. Win % is enforced by the matchmaking system over large sample sizes. The only reason it goes above 50% is because diamond players are on the top end of the bell curve and are statistically more likely to play people with a lower matchmaking rating than them. The stats that tell us balance are going to be centered around the average matchmaking rating by race, a stat we don't have access too. You can't even use # of points in diamond because those seem to inflate through the bonus pool. | ||
