TvZ was 50% before the Queen buff in wings. Buffing a race when the matchup is statistically balanced is stupid, I don't think Blizzard will make the same mistake twice.


they already did, it's called the MSC

Yeah but its going to happen eventually man. Its all innovations fault too.

I'm just hoping its a zerg buff rather than terran nerf, since it might open up more options in the match up.

The game is clearly Terran-favoured in theory. Terrans just haven't been smart enough to exploit it yet, and that probably has to do with the demographics.

I can't imagine Protoss being handed the best turtling powers in the game and an unbeatable deathball that gives them a free win if they can tech to it...and not actually using it.

It's just sad how zergs start whining about the widowmine, less than 14 days after the hellbat nerf. At least show some respect and wait a month. Just take a look at the osl r8 thread, it's full of whine about terran and mines . Less than 14 days ...+ Show Spoiler +
Why can't innovation and maru just win? Did the zergs deserve the win?

Seriously dude? This trolling is starting to get repetitive.

I mean, I could talk about protoss being a no-skill all in poker theory race, but I'd get banned so I won't

guess you should read it. he compares the 50% winrate in june 2013 with the 50% in WoL before queen patch and says dont make the same mistake twice.

so i asked for his source for the 50% winrate since theres a google spreadsheet that suggests it was 50% in june but is 56% T favored in july and aligulac (or however its spelled ) which says TvZ was T favored for all of HOTS.

No, you just typed "source?" And expected him to read your mind on which number you wanted. Aligulac is not the finial word on stats, and 56%, regardless is not enough to justify a nerf to a core Terran unit two weeks after another was changed

Your back here again? Didn't your whole Avilo argument get debunked, someone informing you that it is Major's smurf.

I want to see this unbeatable deathball from Terran and I want to know how Terran is supposed to get to it without dying. What are you even talking about lol.

And for the love of god please don't tell me you are suggesting mech in TvP.

uh i never suggested nerfing mines or speedvacs. i like blizz attempt that buffs >>> nerfs. just buff one of the following:

ovidrop, nydus, burrowmovement, corruption, contamination, hatchtech burrow, hatchtech ovispeed, BL counter, hydras, neural parasite.

and Z will gain some percent winrate AND will be more fun since more strats might be viable except the notorious ling bane muta into ultra/infestor (which in the last time doesnt even come to that point).

statistic balance doesnt mean the game is balanced
so yes, releasing a balance patch even if the game is statistic balanced is not stupid

It's going on for longer, and Terrans like INnoVation and Flash didn't need hellbats to kill zergs. The bread and butter 14 cc into early third is what making them dominate every Zerg from the beginning of Hots till now. The nerf to hellbats was aimed for TvT and did affect TvP alot because it gave them strong timings where they could tank storms etc.

that's such a random compilation of suggestions that it seems to me there is no balance problem you are directly trying to address, until there is i dont think it's smart to arbitrarily change things in a matchup with a close to 50% win ratio
