He is probably hoping blizzard will improve balance and not shift the balance too far one side or another, but who knows how long it will take blizzard to change the game, they are pretty stubborn with some things.

Indeed, look at Orc in WC3 -__-


Orc aren't overpowered, other races just haven't realized they can press space to make units fly.

But I have a serious question for all ya'll TLER's. I hear that in Korea/Asia Zerg is actually the dominant race now and I know from previous threads that that's partly why Zerg got so many nerfs in Beta. So is it just in NA/Europe that Zerg's are doing bad, or is Asia starting to slump to?

And the most important question:Why is it different?

You should've put this in latest TvZ balance threads. No need of another cry imba thread.


How many pro level players need to state there is an imbalance in the MU before people like you will stop being so stubborn and come off it?

There is a problem in TvZ - it is not necessarily as bad as some people make the it out to be, however, dismissing the imbalances as simply 'cry imba threads' is nothing but plain ignorance.

Most people cite 'experience' as to why the imbalance is not so but its really quite easy to explain. Their range of experience in the MU or MUs in question when it comes to balance discussions are not wide or robust enough to make an informed decision. I really cannot comprehend the arrogance of some of the people posting one liners like this....

Well that's a hypothetical situation. I don't believe the balance will change and if it does there is no certainty that Blizzard will nerf Terran or buff Zerg. Blizzard had plenty of opportunities in the beta to nerf Terran and they chose instead to buff Terran EVEN MORE.

If you look at the Trends the next patch will most likely buff Terran again in some fashion and nerf Protoss and Zerg.




I sadly have to agree lol

Guys, all these people from TL who tell me they're gosus tell me that Zerg is fine, it's just that Zergs don't use burrow, nydus worm, brood lords, roach, mutas, zerglings, hydras, evo chambers, and crawlers enough. And frankly, I'm sure these TL users have more credentials than Sheth, Idra, and Dimaga, simply because the TL users are diamond league.

Learn to play, and QQ more.

Can't fucking blame pros who do this for money. Do idiots really think zerg is fine? It's so blatantly imbalanced.

At the start of the beta Terran was by far the weakest race...

That was early in beta. Not since late phase 1.

No, you're wrong. 18-19% of Koreans play zerg these days. They don't dominate, although they do better than expected in the top 100.

It's not that different, these days.

Your average diamond player may look like a fool, but if someone higher up goes and wins a ton of money and then zerg are patched I don't think they'll mind too much.

Hell if someone wants to pay me the #1 prize for a tournament I'll switch to Terran, Protoss, Random, whatever lol.

Honestly, I can't see any logic whatsoever with his decision. If T gets nerfed will he switch to the next FOTM? IdrA is doing surprisingly well considering how underpowered zerg are, and even if they have their problems he's going way overboard. Going for one base all ins in tournaments and.. meh.


Players seem to exaggerate Nerfs and Buffs dramatically.

"If Terran gets Nerfed..."

As if Nerfed = unplayable. Implying Nerfs are all game breaking, 1 nerf to T would make them UP or a slight buff to Zerg would make them OP. the game isn't perfectly balanced, nerfs and buffs are needed, whether slight or dramatic is yet to be seen.

Nerfs/Buffs are for balancing, not for breaking a race. they are not intended to make a new "FOTM" they intended to eliminate FOTMs altogether.

If a buff came that made Zerg OP, it would be obvious and there would be evidence and outcry, then it would be rebalanced. If a Nerf came that made Terran UP, there would be evidence, outcry and it would be rebalanced.

If Zerg was brought up, or if Terran was brought down to the equal levels then they would obviously pick their favorite race, which is the way it should be.

Welcome changes when things are obviously not right, Shun changes when all races are perfectly happy.

First comment in the source is from White-Ra:

"I think Blizzard is working on that problem. They like statistics and statistics say that terran is stronger than others. The only question, when the patch will be released?"

If you were a progamer, would you easily announce your race switch?

Obviously this is something Dimaga's been considering for some time and had probably been practicing terran long before this announcement, long enough to get good at it to a level where he can publicly announce the possibility of a race switch

Dimaga will be fine, and apparently, it takes an act of God for other players to realize that maybe... just maybe...

Blizzards must act. the op´ness of Terran is becoming a "race switch" trend for people who needs to win.

Laddering korean zergs can have good results but as it is right now. You can lose ZvT vs alot less skilled terran. You can ask IdrA how it feel to know you have advantage the whole game map control crazy macro to play perfectly and still lose. Becouse terram is OP. I feel sorry that so many great zerg players switched to T... Whenever Blizzard patch and balance things out many wont bother to switch back to zerg as it will require time and practice...I wish we had 2-3 month longer beta and perfect balance between the races than this...
