it's quite obvious that late game TvP is at least even, and favors toss on certain maps (like taldarim) the imbalance stemming from TvP seems to be from the 1-1-1 all-in, but how would blizzard fix it, without affecting other scenarios? seems like a game design flaw rather than a balance flaw... TvZ on the other hand seems to be quite pretty well balanced right now, hovering quite close to 50% for two months now | ||

It's actually really easy to fix, and stems from the problem of Terran being far too versatile. There is absolutely no situation where Terran is completely screwed if banshees were removed, whereas any kind of force field nerf would make both Protoss matchups unwinnable. | ||

Time for MC and Naniwa to show how it's done! the problem with the 1-1-1 from what i can tell is, even when (very strong) players know it's coming, they can't defend it. does that sound right? | ||

I think that is a big game changer. First you had the patch that adjusted their cost, and slowly it started to be incorporated more. Then once it started to get incorporated more it took some time for players to get the EMP and micro down really well and now thats all coming together and really seems to make a big difference in that matchup. I think the same can be said to a lesser extent with the infestor in ZvP and how that unit has brought that matchup more in balance. | ||

Time for MC and Naniwa to show how it's done! I wouldn't say that, It's just really really skewed because of the 1/1/1 all in, everywhere else(where the 1/1/1 is not that popular, it seems okay.53% isn't that bad | ||

There is absolutely no situation where Terran is completely screwed if banshees were removed, whereas any kind of force field nerf would make both Protoss matchups unwinnable. The same could be said about Dark templars being removed, and stim being nurfed. There's no situation where protoss would be screwed, but both Terran matchups would be unwinnable. It's probably in the game designs best interests for Terran to have a air to ground unit, it would be silly not too. I would say this is just another shift in the metagame. Just look at February, Terran were in the same position as Protoss are right now. | ||

However I wouldn't mind seeing Banshee's get 10(+3 v light) per projectile. Stalkers really should not lose 1v1 against a banshee -_-. | ||

About 80% of low masters terrans do the marine/tank/banshee all in every game and I rarely hold it even when I know its coming. I don't understand why that takes more skill than playing toss or why people feel like toss is such a noob OP race. | ||
