How are zerg dominating protoss now? =/

I think he means NESTEA is dominating protoss. The lower tier protoss at that.

If you look at NASL -

Kiwi -> lost to 2 terrans

Naniwa -> lost to terran and protoss

Squirtle -> top 5

Ace -> lost to 2 terrans

MC -> lost to Ace and played like shit vs Ret (nydus next to a pylon, wtf mc)

Whitera -> top 10

Axlav -> lost to 2 terrans and a protoss

Hasuobs -> lost to terran and protoss


Arent u as biased as it gets....

Kiwi lost to Idra
Naniwa lost to Morrow
Squirtle dont care much
Ace dont care much
MC lost to Ret and DRG
Whitera lost to Lalush and Idra and Stephano
Axlav isnt even a top player
Hasuobs also lost to lots of zergs

Stop looking at just NASL for full match up balance. Because everyone can name some results where someone lost to someone thus negating the balance discussion.

Stalker + storm alone is a 100% viable end-game composition..... If Archons were even better than they are now... 0__0


I think his general point is that early-tier units are incredibly good late-game, and that teching is often a waste. Stuff like roach vs archon or like anything vs ultralisk makes teching feel dumb

Your not even close to being in south korea.

So.. an entire set of players who all happen to pick zerg just happen to be predisposed to moaning?
Or perhaps collosus being an A move unit and basically killing everything on the ground.. is bad dull gameplay to play against?

Not to mention every single ground unit toss has gets the same upgrades.. so they can make ANYTHING they want and still be totally viable.

Toss being underpowered is a ridiculous claim, when all units share the same upgrades, and you get 2 best aoe units in the game that are very easy to use..

The trouble is.. Toss is just boring to play against.. You have to try to take them out before they get the Tech that they want, cos when they have it, they walk into your base, aoe is too easy and effective to use

I am pretty sure I am still scarred by SCBW archons, because when I see them in SC2 I get scared (as a zerg user) then I kill it with nothing and I am like, "oh yeah new game."

I don't have a stake in this (read: previously mentioning I play terran), but talking about a race's strengths and passing it as balance discussion is a completely stupid way of going about discussion.

i really dont get the toss whine from these guys. increasing the archon splash and buffing it would be insane. think about the AOE from a collossi/archon army.

I'm going to go ahead and strongly suggest JP stays away from balance discussion when he has such a one-race stacked roster. Having 4 Terran or 4 Zerg would turn into a giant, QQ circlejerk, just as this one has. Protoss are bad at drops? You have a drop-ship that can make new units instantly. That's the best drop advantage out of the 3 races.

I don't tune in to hear 4 Protoss complain about how they are having trouble in a matchup and demanding buffs. Especially after 20 episodes of InControl and Nony telling IdrA and other Zergs to get creative and use Nydus worms.

We just got creative Protoss users. Ball is in your court.
I am serious. And my name is Shirley.

Huk: US has what, 10 times the population, roughly the same talent pool?

Incontrol: We're too busy generating the content all of you nerds watch.

For the ability to warp in as many new units as you have gateways? I'd take that trade any day. Drop somewhere where your opponent can't see (kind of like the Terrans do) and mayyyyyyyyyybe its fragility wouldn't be a problem.
