I welcome his change of race!

If Dimaga starts dominating the starcraft scene after his switch, then Terran probably do need a nerf.

Like I won't lie.

I'm struggling in high plat/low diamond with my Zerg (my main race since forever) with a 55%ish win/loss ratio.

Played Terran the other night (with almost no experience of them) and was crushing diamond players. Won like 9 games in a row before I went to bed.

It really is a little disheartening. It really does make you want to switch races. I'm sure Dimaga and other Zergs have just experienced something similar: you want to stick to "your race", but the fact is you're winning more games, easier and faster, with your off-race!

Think all the Zergs are just holding out for the patch.

The thing that I think everyone has noticed watching IEM though is just how tough it is to be zerg in the early game. Idra and Dimaga are winning some amazing games, but they have to start each and every one by fighting off reapers, hellions, or banshees (or some mix thereof). I can't think of one game where the Z player was the first to apply pressure at the other player's main.

I hear alot of whining about how terran is imba and people expected a patch within the first week??

I was a terran player in BW and I can say I am happy with the changes, they finally made a balanced game as opposed to an imba game like BW.

The problem with terran in BW was that terran couldnt freely move its army, like a protoss or a zerg player could do. This was the main imbalance in my view, it was a meta game issue, not necessarily related to unit damage.

in SC2 they fixed that with the marauder, a much needed unit that now gives the terran the ability to move out without having mines in place and turrets up. I think alot of the whining comes from protoss and zerg players who wanted to continue to beat up on the weaker terran race. They are upset because they no longer have an easy target that they can just go proxy DT every 1/3.5 games and get a free win.

Not sure why Zerg are whining, but I think for similar reasons, they want their muta stack back. zerg and protoss are not very creative races, they just want to get their mutas or their DT's out and end the game then. I think thats why a majority of them are struggling because instead of watching their replays and thinking, what can I do better, or what is a good counter to this strategy, they come on the forums and wonder about when the "balancing" is going to take place. the balancing has already taken place, it was called beta.

If you look @ who the top players are, I know the korean zergs are absolutely crushing. the #1 player American player is Huk, a protoss. The next 2 top players are both non-terrans, Slush, whos a zerg, and TT1, a protoss. you dont even have a single terran in the top 3.

Most of the people crying for terran to be nerfed, you need to have your patience pants on. there is no need for a patch, and the game is balanced.
