Good job. Every time a Zerg whines again after I defeat him about how "stupidly imbalanced" Protoss is I will point him to this so he can see it's all roughly equal so he can conclude he just played horribly =)

If I would actually want to be a whiny [lewd or immoral woman] I could even say Protoss is the weakest right now. But let's interpret these numbers in the wrong way and take into account the variance and such and simply conclude: the game approaches balances, yay!

These graphs are ALWAYS great to have in the back of our minds. Very interesting indeed!

Also, I believe separating Korean and International results might really skew some data as Korean Ts are notoriously good and Korean Ps are struggling hardcore. Meanwhile players like Naniwa are dominating (still), etc. etc.

Nonetheless, great work op!

Another thing that might be interesting is to put vertical line markers and brief notes to denote the major balance patches. For example, where is the stim nerf in relation to the change in TvZ win rates? The correlation or non-correlation of the patches and percentage changes might be informative.

I'm not surprised, considering that there aren't really many good Protoss players. I think these results are more to do with Terran and Zerg being more attractive to top pros than Protoss being weaker than Zerg and Terran.

Fantastic graphs! I have a really stupid request if possible lol:

I'm used to Zerg = Red, Terran = Blue, Protoss = Green from years of surfing Teamliquid. Would it be possible to do some color swapouts?

Regardless, I LOVE seeing data like this :D


Oh, are those the generally accepted colors? I was actually thinking quite a bit about this before settling on the ones I have now. It's incredibly easy to change though.

I can also very easily bring up International and Korean numbers only, but it's not as useful as some of you may think. The sample size of the Korean games is small enough that you can't really draw any conclusions from them, and international numbers are basically unchanged if you remove Koreans.


(T)MMA
(Z)DongRaeGu
(P)Alicia

This is why the colors are generally accepted.

Great work though. It shows very well how any complaining only gets going when the problem is almost solved.

Obviously it has disclaimers attached, but it's still interesting to see the Korean only data. Korea is generally the best, and they generally create the big metagame shifts (most recent example the oh so popular roach ling allin vs 3gate expand), so..

If at least I had any knowledge of statistics, I could make up some significant and relevant information from this.

But as I'm an average TLer, I'll simply yell : PROTOSS UP! NEED A BUFF! GRAPH PROVED IT! I'M AN IDIOT TYPING IN CAPS! :D

But yeah seriously, it's nice to see an "imaged" version of these results, but I also can't wait to see what everyone will get out of it...

Indeed. Even knowing that the sample size is far too small for reasonable data, the Koreans do set the trends in the game right now, so I think most of us would like to see that data. Even if its just for grins

Great work.

Though it says almost nothing about balance. It's more about trends.
If roach + ling allins works now, it doesn't mean the game is balanced or isn't.

For the swarm. The imba crying was all a ploy to get you terrans and protosses to be too comfortable with the matchup!

I think many people still need to take a statistics course. These matches weren't all played under the same circumstances (different maps, different players, different skill levels) so to say that the game is balanced/imbalanced based on these statistics is wrong.

If this means anything it is probably that nobody currently needs a significant buff. If I was blizzard all i might be tinkering with would be the maps.
hah.

How come no one said this during the "deathball" phase?

Maps changing is something to bear in mind, but the player/skill level stuff cancels out.

I meant if in 50% cases you kill him before deathball and otherwise you die, it seems statistically balanced, but...

do these count ladder games also in korea? if so how much games do you think are screwed due to close positions TvZ since ladder maps have not removed it. if we bear that in mind T=Z exactly? or maybe just slightly 1 or 2 % in favor for zerg on maps with no close position

Not really. Korean protoss are falling apart, to the point where only Alicia, MC, Ace, Squirtle, and maybe Huk are having any form of consistent results, namely because they are actually really good players who belong in Code S >>

I would suspect the rest, like inca/anypro/tester/hongun/sangho to fall out of code S soon.

Uh yes? That's the trend: Korean Protosses are doing horribly.

Not sure why you're disagreeing.


I am saying the good protoss are doing fine, and the bad protoss are doing bad.

As opposed to months ago when the good protoss were winning and the bad protoss were still making top 16

The good tosses are doing badly. Alicia has done nothing. MC has done poorly in last 2 GSLs. Ace is useless in Korea he just wins in foreigner tournaments. Squirtle has done nothing.


MC lost to Alicia in a PvP in GS ST
In GSTL before that he went 3-1
He lost to Polt in GSL April, PvT, but won a PvZ and beat a terran in Up/Down matches.
He won the GSL before that.

Protoss may be doing worse against Zerg overall, but MC's performance isn't bad because of balance changes. He lost a PvT 2-0 and a PvP 2-0 and that's why he went out of the two recent GSLs.
HOLY CHECK!

It's all pro games in competitions, from TLPD. Zero ladder games.
