Considering TvP is sorta balanced PvZ is probably most balanced TvZ is what people are complaining about Either Terran will get nerfed overall and protoss specialisation will be buffed, e.g. emp buff or lockdown spell OR Zerg will get an anti-terran specialisation skill. Infest a Terran building? Just throwing it out there. Protoss sucks balls at high level, it's the least represented in the Korean top 50 (less than Z) and + Show Spoiler + no protoss made it to the Ro8 in IEM, 3 zergs did | ||

I don't think the game is going to be really finishied until the 1st or even the 2nd expansion. That's the way it was for SC/BW. The gameplay will be really good afeter expansions | ||

Reapers don't add a whole lot to the game compared to what they prohibit. You get a minute or two of potentially-cool harass (that's nowhere near as technical as SC1 muta harass) at the cost of destroying the viability of economic fast-expansion builds, for fear of losing to reapers. Seeing as reaper harassment isn't extremely technical, I'd expect that the skill ceiling on it should be hit once we get players with SC1 progamer-level mechanics--meaning that in the long run, the cost of losing the option for economic fast expansion openings is more damaging to the game's depth than the reaper can make up for. | ||

SC1 muta harass was "right click, h, right click, repeat" | ||

And get their statistics from that. It's the tournaments which count, it's the mass custom games which count. Not the ladder games where players try new things, cheese, etc etc. Ladder games are usually en massed and players largely do not care about them. They either try to win immediately or try funky things. The balance issue is much more prominent in the tournament level and blizzard is, for the most part, ignoring this in favor of their botched statistics. you definitely have a point there. a lot of people who play sc2 competitively don't even play on ladder that often. it's not a good way to get stats. | ||

Which is why some of the other players that didn't get out of that round and they didn't play protoss. There's a difference between game balance and the player just not playing at the level they should. | ||

Yeah I could see that, but the thing is that no one is going to use reapers unless you can get them early or transition out of them. So maybe another tech building for marauder? I just don't see it happening, lengthening the time to put down a tech lab seems like a more elegant solution.

26% of their player base picking Zerg is an issue to them. Bashiok does not say that Blizzard is unhappy with zerg balance. He made the claim that they're not happy with 26%. Not happy is not the same thing as unhappy. This is highlighted when he followed this claim up by saying that drawing conclusions on balance from representation is illogical. | ||

Dimaga just proved a freaking huge point that zerg is way underpowered and TvZ is way too imbalanced. Even as a not so good terran player he could beat any zerg player. Imagine 3 base terran can handle 6-7 base zerg. Too bad though because of greed, blizzard just play deaf and not pay any attention to it. Perhaps if ppl stop playing starcraft 2 only then will they do something about it. Fuck blizzard. sorry i dont watch games of cheaters! | ||

The patches have changed some of the matchups and your statements about Blizzard has very little to do with the argument itself | ||
