As Protoss at least, I've also been able to abuse the cliffs to harass the Terran right back, and there's so much space for me to expand to that granting Terrans control of a small chunk of the map isn't game breaking, IMO. As to Delta Quadrant, I've never played there, so nothing I can say. Yes. As P. Have you ever been reaper rushed (and I'm talking LZgamer style 3 rax with 5-10-15 reapers) as Z on Kulas ravine? It's an absolute nightmare. If you manage to survive long enough for the the other units to arrive, you wake up and realize that the reaper rush was just a dream within the nightmare that has just begun. | ||

But there are a number of factors that can modify this and btw I think are not being taken into consideration. Maps is a big example of that, i remember 2008/2009 in BW protoss completely dominating with the so called 7 protoss dragons and some part of it was the protoss slightly favored maps back then. I mean look at the map pool right now, as a zerg you need to pray to play on crap station (yea i said crap) and metalopolis maybe, considering i dont see too many torneys using desert oasis. Maybe now delta cuadrant could add to the zerg maps, i havent played it much but i have that feeling that tells me its a zerg map  Also ppl say that zergs are doing bad in all servers and well, a big part of that is even at the beta there were not so many zerg players to begin with, even back then the mayority were terran so its kind of obvius terran is gonna develop sooner in any way possible. Dont get me wrong, im not saying ZvT is totally balanced, maybe it needs some small changes but to be honest im not a follower of DIMAGA because i didnt like his style of play with the zerg neither back then in the beta nor now, in fact i think i like TLO zerg play better, i mean zergling/baneling(optional)/infestor into ultralisk or broodlord against Terran i liked a lot. zerg can instantly have 3 larva to use every 2 minutes and they STACK that means that in a 50 vs 50 food against every race if you've been active with your queens you can lose everything and have it back instantly, they have nidus network and OL as transports and movement speed increased on creep and several ways to spread the creep on the map which makes it the most movile race by far, they only use 1 structure to build units, you can actually have every tech building and choose what to do acording to what your opponent does (assuming you have the economy to support it of course) but it is also something bad because you have to choose between workers and units, they have the easiest way to scout, have map control and control of xel naga towers (OLs and zerglings) Anyway, botton line.. try thinking maybe there is something you havent tried in those match ups, maybe you can do something diffent even at a pro level, maybe you will all see something you havent seen before  | ||

"Well, I'm not saying zerg players suck, or saying terran is fine, I'm just saying it's up to you guys to pull a new strategy out of your asses to counter the 'imbalance'" You kids don't think Dimaga, Idra, Seth, and Machine tried everything hundreds of times before reaching their conclusion? | ||

I, actually, dont.. how much time did it take to korean pro gamers to develop strategies? they've been playing SCBW for more than 10 years, always evolving and you are telling me that idra has it all figured out in 2 weeks? seriusly come on. I understand DIMAGA tho in his decition to switch races, he has to be better because its his job, if zerg isnt working then something else should be but that doesnt imply terran are OP or zerg are weak. | ||

some openings like banker reaper rush vs zerg need xtreme apm and multitasking and cannot be performed by mid diamond and lower , you need pro lvls for that | ||

How is this not results -.-? I'm mostly annoyed at these complaints because dimaga has owned me since the beta started  (0-2 zotac, 0-1 zotac, 0-1 go4sc2, 0-2 razer domination, 1-2 craftcup, 0-1 go4sc2, 1-2 go4sc2 - these are the ones I remember, might be more - he went on to win or finish 2nd in most of these). | ||

Collossi are countered by super-range Vikings and with the Mech support range that Terran usually brings around its bio ball and ghosts you cant directly push. High Templars are great and all but they wont save you from the supreme range of the mech and the constant medivac healing/scv repairing that terran usually encompasses within its army. Immortals are powerful yes but when they get focus fired they go down quick. Void Rays are OP in numbers and UP in smaller numbers. The whole charging up thing is a bad idea and doesnt fit into RTS play at all. Just make the Void ray a regular damn piece of aircraft and make its damage stay at the same level instead of raising overtime that it's charging. High Templar make the difference, favouring Protoss. The playing field is equal for both toss and terran until HT enter the field. | ||

BW came out in 1998, and the last balance patch, 1.08, in 2000 or 2001? That's 9 years ago, and in those 9 years there have been multiple times of dominance from each race, without any balance changes! Sure, the maps are far better now, but a lot comes from playing styles as well. Boxer, Oov Nada, Bisu, Stork, Savior, Jaedong, July, have all been at the very top of BW without any balance changes being made in between. I actually think this is more of a cry for help then a good plan from Dimaga...I hope they maybe buff Z slightly in the patch, but not a great deal, and wait for further results. | ||

terran ones obviously will claim all is good , toss may cry a bit about tvp and also claim pvz is balance Zerg ones cry for both , which is true u cant rly know for sure unless you work for blizzard. imo zerg early game and scouting is rly messed up and needs tweaking. | ||

You realize your saying that the pros who play zerg and cannot consistently win, which then puts their job on the line and in turn forces them to learn a new race, are probably just playing their race wrong and try out new ideas such as abusing mobility?. I hope your kidding because their is a legitimate problem with ZvT. | ||

Last time I checked ultras/broods were not "underpowered". Last time I checked, bringing directly tier 3 units with ignoring early-mid game entirely, as a proof of balance,,, was dumb. | ||

Ofc, they will deny. Ofc, they will ignore. Ofc, they will.. since it's winning, since it's the rush of blood we feel after each win...since we are humans... | ||

Yea they trying to get the other race nerf caus ethey don't have skill.... i get it... Come on, if 4k Terrans start QQ, VRs that when charged are almost unstopable unless you have way more units right there and micro them well are OP, HT that can make a bloody mess of a bioball or Feedback to dead medivacs for 50 energy are OP or Banelings that can blow up while burrow way before any mobile detection are OP, Corruptors (that eat vikings alive) broodlords that destroy anyground are OP... Then it would be obvious that Z and P are OP?????? Tell me plz... so i can start telling T players to start QQ all over the place | ||
