wich was pretty obvious tbh, dimaga 2.0.
Also what good zerg was previously lost?

The problem is the game is still "balanced" as if the roaches were 1 supply and had 2 armor. They've done literally nothing in terms of balancing the marauder, except making it better in terms of cutting the cost of the upgrades. I could go on about numerous things that that need tweaking, but that's not the point of this. It's just sad to lose another top zerg. Maybe blizzard will get the message and implement a substantive patch, but from the timing and content of the 1.1, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

no top level zerg hasnt considered changing race atleast once..its extremly frustrating to play Z atm.. just weak in every department.

If Cool switches i bet he regrets it when Zerg is the FOTM for most OP race in the future.. Which has been predicted by many pro gamers like Day[9] and Artosis..
You seem to be missing the obvious. If the best players in the game feel they would be better off with a new race rather than the one they have played and practiced with, that is very strong evidence something is seriously wrong.

it's hard to make changes to zerg when it really only affects the top 0.5% of players.

As a mid level zerg I seriously wouldn't mind if the whole race got reworked in some way. The race just doesn't play like it did in starcraft 1.

If Blizzard actually cares about SC2 as an e-sport, those .5% of the players are the ones they need to prioritize....

i think its more rage inducing, like dimaga, to switch race theyll need to put in 100 games or more just to get competitive with them IMO, I hope hes just venting

I am a very low level player but as a regular watcher of streams, gsl, day9's show I am an internet expert on SC2*
I have to agree with idra on the Zerg imbalance in general, what I notice most is basically that they have very few options, they have to be on the backfoot against any genuinely good players and the opening variety is _extremely_ limited. They can't do any cute and interesting things - it has to be 'by the book' -if they are lucky to progress, then and only then can they spice things up. I'm a P player and a scrub but that's just the impression I get from watching games. I genuinely feel sorry for Zerg players. Didn't someone do a count once or twice on here and tally up that Zerg has significantly less units and options than T and P anyhow?
* this part was sarcasm, hopefully you get it

As a mid-level Terran that played Z in BW, I feel the same..... I've tried them out, and I don't feel that same "swarm" that I was able to command in BW.

You think that the race that requires perfect scouting, and nearly precogniscient reaction time isn't a problem? It's not a problem that one race can instantly lose to any number of ridiculous cheeses from either of the other races- to which the only counter is often pure guesswork?
Raw ignorance. If you think it is this bad for pro players right now, how awful do you think it is for Bronze, Silver, Gold players to play Zerg? They either don't know how or lack the ability to make the absolutely perfect moves required of them simply to stay in the game against an even lower skilled T or P, who can just build any number of any unit, attack move, and win.
When every player of a race is repeatedly punished simply for picking the wrong faction, and when he instantly loses games for not having perfect timing, perfect scouting, and perfect decision making, even when outplaying an inferior opponent, there is a problem. A problem that affects far more than the tiny number you'd like to believe.
It is extremely frustrating to play Z right now because you are always forced to play the game that the Terran or Protoss player wants you to play. Even if you play their game, and you play it better, you're still extremely liable to lose to one void ray, one dropship, or one Thor. Zerg needs options. I really hope they get them soon.

Bah, this is proof right here that zerg in and of itself is not a solid race right now. With the amount of hours Idra puts in and he is not sheerly dominating everyone. On top of that now Fruitseller is complaining about Zerg.
Something is definitely wrong with the race itself. At the very least in ZvT.

Take it from a Gold level Zerg, it's fucking awful trying to play. I'm determined to stick with it, but it is so frustrating that I can keep up a near constant harass, out expand a Terran 3 bases to 1, and his ball of stimmed marauders with 2 siege tanks can still just waltz in and destroy everything I have.
Now obviously I still have a lot of learning to do and tons of room to improve, but the frustration and problems affect every level of play, not just these top level pros. I still refuse to switch races though, because wins as Zerg feel so much more satisfying.

Idra CLEARLY states why Terran is over powered. And its not because T can Aclick with a bio ball.

Nothing that cool does matters unless he puts some major W's in his repitwa. Im talkin about wins people!
