I hate dealing with these graphs so much for so many reasons.
Its like banging my head against a wall dealing with people who take them to be the definitive proof of balance.

I will, however, commend him for the efforts he's gone through considering I believe he does this mostly by hand. Its still a pretty big undertaking.

That PvZ Korea graph is having the image equivalent of an epileptic seizure.

Edit: Seriously, I read through more of the thread... you are dumb if you think this has anything to do with balance. If anything, this proves that we can't come close to measuring balance; no one race has reached a perfect level of skill or metagame (as proved by the fact that win rates fluctuate regardless of balance) and therefore you cannot measure balance without having that factor in.

this is obviously very high variance, theres not a steady slope or anything, this is not indicative of balance please stop uploading these stupid charts

i like how the winrates changed without any patch changes

that means people are learning and evolving. i dont think there should really be any changes for another month or so because maybe toss and zerg can learn and figure something out that will shift it back to even. give it time, one month isn't enough to start nerfing and buffing things.


I don't really think that's the case. It's more like which Terran strategy is fotm and how Zerg and Protoss blind counters it the next month.


so what was the strategy in may that zerg and toss blind countered last month?

I wouldn't put too much stock into the Korean protoss winrates. There's so few of them that it basically comes down to MC having a weak month and all of a sudden the winrate plummets. Watch, if MC goes deep in the next GSL, protoss is going to look so OP.

Wait what? Terran doing so well against Protoss? Looks like I'm gonna have to start using some of those 1/1/1 builds.

Winrates in tourneys are an EXTREMELY bad measurement of balance. I don't have problems with measuring balance with statistics but using winrates in tournaments to measure balance is just bad. I wish I would write an article about how winrates are affected by balance and post it to TL.net, but I'm too lazy. Maybe I will soon though

It's hilarious because people still claim P is OP, while... you see it's not so OP there.
Someone once said if a race has 45% win rate = UP and 55% win rate = OP, can we officially claim something is imba now?

Indeed. The clear solution is obviously for Stalkers to start with Blink. :D

its easy why terrans and zerg are raping protoss these days...infestors has been stated to be too strong at the moment (even by dustin browder) and by many pros. And versus terran, terrans were able to win for about a year using only marine/marauders/medivacs/vikings...most of them didnt even use the ghost at all...now with the recent buff to ghosts cost...they tried new things and found how strong they are vs toss (removing all the shields) and the energy to sentries and ht's. However, I think terrans could dominate even more if they would use ravens as a standard in their composition!

Hi, Jinro. I didn't mean the charge upgrade but the speed increase they get from upgrading charge. I dunno Zealots were so beastly in SCBW but in SC2 they're some joke (tank, instead of DPS).
We got them GOM TvT's and them mlGG's

This is true for any race, to a point; those who lead the race in terms of skill and results generally set the tempo for much of that race's players.

It's because, to be frank, most people copy the most successful players.

Ridiculous people already calling for nerfs for TvP. Didn't we learn anything from PvZ? Wait for the metagame to shift.

Jinro probably understood you. The thing is that even if Zealots started with Charge-level speed it would be pretty broken. You could mass Zealots and marines would be completely and utterly helpless - even with the Zealot's normal speed, kiting with marines early on is barely possible, and the Zealot still gets hits in.

Oh, you mean Terrans waited for the metagame to shift? I thought everyone asked for P nerf.

Yeah, I wish that mindset was used when we got KA taken out of the game following a period of comparable Protoss dominance a while back... -_-;;
