Shang was actually better than Assyrian or Yamato, but those 3 races were the only ones that were even playable. | ||

IMO, idras lose to lotze showed us that he didn't have what it takes to win. It had very little to do with imbalance. Watch lotzes last game. Mistakes all over the place. If idra can't beat him then he doesn't deserve to win the tourney. Idra did not lose because he did not have what it takes to win. He lost because he researched his opponent's build orders and relied on that information rather then scouting. Normally Idra knows what is going on in the map. Game 2 Idra thought he knew the build that was coming and built no AA and lost to voidrays. But in game 3 he just did not know what was really going on. There was an expansion right next to one of his expansions and he had no idea. Even though there is alot of talk about Terran being overpowering to Zerg, the PVZ matchup is also not balanced. It is not as bad as ZVT, but it is still not fully balanced. And to say that only 4 of the top Zerg players qualified says something in and of itself. Even though I think that statement is probably not right. If only 4 of the top Zerg players qualified, what happened to the others that did not qualify? Either players are staying away from Zerg or Zerg are simply not advancing to further rounds. Both of those senarios are very huge problems. | ||

Also, If the Ultra splash bug weren't bugged, then cool would have lost. He wouldn't have taken the PF, and repairing thors would have won top the game. Cool won because of a bug. =/ I hope the bug stays till finals though... for the swarm etc. | ||

It's just exponentially larger than it should be when it comes to buildings | ||

There were no game deciding battles involving a PF and pre-patch ultras were still decent against repaired PFs. | ||

The bug is when you attack a CC or Nexus the splash becomes huge. That's it. When the Ultra attacks a Thor is acts the same as it did BEFORE 1.1. It would ALWAYS kill the SCVs repairing the Thor. I made this the other day, this is what happends. XOOU Say X = Ultra, O = Thor, and U = SCV. The SCV here would get hit still. This is how it worked before 1.1.(And I found it out using the map 'Hardcounter'.) | ||

Either players are staying away from Zerg or Zerg are simply not advancing to further rounds. Both of those senarios are very huge problems. Koreans consider PvZ more imbalanced than ZvT. I remember seeing some stat posted on win ratios in korean ladder where ZvT was like 45%, TvP was like 45%, and ZvP was like 35%. | ||

The bug probably works on barracks and factories and hatcheries and every building in the game as well not only planetary fortresses because it splashes the size of the building all around it. The splash on thors or any other units was NOT changed in any way | ||

What we need is new maps because in the current map pool, many maps are very imbalanced. And because zerg still lacks of exploring other things, and wont be able to explore until we get better maps | ||

I know they don't have a lot of extra time with practice, but idk maybe they could take community donations for it. I'm sure plenty of people would donate for balance testing. And the pros want a balanced game anyway since their livelihood depends on it. If people could prove that certain changes balance/unbalance the game, Blizzard would have a pretty easy time patching I would think. It'd be harder with the monthly GSL matches. They would need to find people who aren't a) competing in the GSL every month, and b) aren't practicing with the people who are playing in the GSL every month. | ||
