I've always played zerg, ever since SC1, I just like the little buggers I don't care about which race is stronger, it will get balanced out eventually.
My only problem with ZvT is a fast starport or two, other than that I have a lot of fun playing ZvT.

I believe that Terran owns in the West but on Asia server it's Zerg that owns so...

Not really, Zerg is in clear disadvantage in essentially ANY SERVER.
the statistics now is:
Top 100 in the world Terran=42 Zerg=25 Protoss=31 Random=2

  36 from US:Terran=15 Zerg=9 Protoss=11 Random=1
  32 from EU:Terran=14 Zerg=7 Protoss=11 Random=0
  32 from KR: Terran=13 Zerg=9 Protoss=9 Random=1

Top 1000 player in the word: Terran=300 Zerg=240 Protoss=401 Random=59
  406 from US: Terran=129 Zerg=87 Protoss=162 Random=28
  419 from EU: Terran=119 Zerg=114 Protoss=165 Random=21
  175 from KR:Terran=52 Zerg=39 Protoss=74 Random=10

Your logic fail hard.. Something true a few month (and A FEW IMPORTANT PATCH TO ZERG) ago doesn't mean it is still true now. As far as I know, a few Korean pro gamer already switched from Zerg to Terran.

I actually switched from Terran to Zerg.

Got bored from sieging Siegetanks and doing TvT all the time. The fact that seemingly everyone plays Terran started to annoy me so I decided to switch, but Protoss was way too bland.

And 2v2 with double zerg has been such a blast.

I know terran is imba vs zerg, but some people are just exadurating so hard. No terrans have skill anymore, its become terran craft and even protosses I play just give me a load of BM because im terran and that MU isnt imbalanced either :/


It doesn't help that everyone and their mother was crying imba the entire beta, and Blizzards response was to keep buffing Terran, while giving them a couple of largely inconsequential nerfs. The only one with real repercussions, the siege damage nerf, mostly affects TvT.

I play random, but zerg are my favourite. Perhaps the fact that I kind of suck makes my opinions worthless, but I don't see any enormous balance problems in the game as is.
Saying what we think gives us a wider conversational range than saying what we know.

It's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Losing to Terran as Zerg doesn't mean the matchup is imba, it means that as a community, Zerg players still haven't caught on to strong ways to deal with Terran. That's my belief; it is more rewarding to try and think of a clever way to beat T than to complain about the difficulty of it.
Knowing is half the battle... the other half is lasers.

I haven't had too many issues with Terran and I've made it into diamond as Zerg. Yeah, if you a-move into a terran mech ball with roaches and hydras you'll be melted, and some -maps- favor terran more than they do zerg, but as a whole the match up isn't too bad. There are plenty of counters to a turtling terran, or a slow push across the map, they're just not as simple as "Build this, attack ball" (though ultras are pretty close).

If any changes are made they'll be subtle, zerg are pretty strong as is.

Interesting the way the poll says "rising popularity in Terran" and not power--by all counts it seems that only in top-top diamond does Terran actually come out on top for popularity. If you're going by popularity, Protoss is (and, IIRC throughout beta always was) the way to go.

I'm gonna be the one who balances ZvT. All it takes is an innovative genius.

I wish people would start getting temp-banned for continuing to promote this idea that all zerg players are too dumb to figure out what to do in tvz.

You know, personally, as diamond league random, I think Zerg is a lot easier to play then Terran. Its so formulaic, much more tactical, much less strategic.

With terran a single bad tanks siege and its game over. My winrate with zerg is 70%, 55% toss, 45% terran.

Imo, terran might be the most "powerful race", but from my experience its also the most difficult to execute properly. I mean, really, you can get away with no more then 2 control groups for your forces as zerg. Any more then that just feels like showing off and wasting apm unless your really good at tactical movements. With terran lategame you basically need 4 control groups minimum just for basic control.

Thats just me though. Don't flame meh.

It's even worse in the official forums. Apparently, Terran are beacons of creativity, while Protoss and Zerg are kids who keep running into a wall.

Really? Zerg owning the Asia server? I am looking at the SE-Asia top 30 rank now and on it we have:

5 Zerg
18 Protoss
6 Terran

I never played zerg but I WAS a terran player who just switched to toss because there are so many. Plus I hate TvT.

I still play Zerg but am getting pretty annoyed at mech.

Thors are damn near unbeatable cost for cost with zerg as soon as there are 4-5 of them.
