if you trade the great mobility, hence the map control, the cheapass units and the ability to pump out several workers at the same time, i would be in for the trade!

Why're you whining about balance? Learn to play ZvP if you have a problem with it, insted of crying about it.

These hyperbole arguments are always really stupid. If you both want to trade or want to banter like that why don't you switch races -_-

Here's what I don't get.
people could generate some random maps that have balance, and then tweak units inside these maps, calling them "UNOFFICIAL patch 1.4.1 etc" and basically consist of people testing what works and what doesn't on their own.
Thus the community of SC2 themselves could figure out whats imbalanced and whats not, and all WITHOUT having to wait for blizzard to tell them what is good for the game.
But they'd all rather sit here and bitch instead of creating thier own answers via custom maps and discovering, hey, marine really does( or doesnt) work being tweaked a little, or hey, Force Field on cooldown might work and be less OP (if you think it is).
That is what I dont get about the supposed "community". They don't act like one to solve problems.

The only people who can reliably judge balance (which changes constantly any ways) are pros who don't even waste their time playing PTR, let alone an unofficial patch which will probably be ridiculous any ways.

We don't even agree on what is imbalanced in the game we currently play. How are a bunch of custom maps supposed to bring anything conclusive to the table?

Why not? Because buffing one of the "supposed" lategame units (like thors, ravens or BC's) would make them too good medgame. The result is that thors, ravens and BC's get demolished lategame, so terrans have to rely on MMM, ghosts and vikings. This is tier 1,5- tier 2 and it's normal that the protoss tier 3 destroys this. Can blizzard do something about this? No. Can they nerf the marine? No. TvP lategame is impossible for Terran? Have you been away from the game since before the amulet removal or something? ATM Protoss is having huge trouble lategame against Terran - ghosts are wrecking face everywhere. Midgame timing attacks are the only thing ATM that Protoss are having a decent amount of success with. Post a game where a terran wins lategame against COLLOSSUS, ZEALOT, ARCHON and SPREADED ht's. Marauders die against zealots, so you need marines. Marines melt against HT and collossus. There is no change to win when toss has 5 bases, like they can have on those big GSL maps. Win a battle as terran? No problem, thats 2 warpins and maxed again. Lose a battle as terran? Warp 1 round, maxed again, attack terrans raxes, GG. I'm talking about a 5+base protoss.
Are you implying that Terran tier one units occasionally die to well-microed Protoss tier three units?
I'm inclined to agree with you. In that case, most Koreans have discovered that throwing down a factory, starport, or ghost academy are good follow-ups.
+ Show Spoiler +Are you seriously balance whining as Terran?

Hopefully the Korea chart comes out soon, its pretty clear most people care about that one more nowadays (not surprisingly, since balance means the most at the highest level of play).

I remember Blizz' publishing official win rate statistics for the leagues of each server (last year they did this for sure). Are there any current statistics from Blizz' available? Would be happy if some of you have a link.

Those statistics are fun to look at, but that's it. All they show is a trend at most.

Why QQ about Forcefields? imagine protoss without forcefields, protoss gateway units would need a huge buff or Zerg or Terran can just roll over protoss early game T__T

Would be happy if some of you have a link. i think they did something like that at last years blizzcon. was quite interesting indeed. the problem with raw-winrates on the servers is the matchmaking system which tends to generate 50 % winrates. therefore they adjust for MMR. you can find the video here: on youtube i really hope that they give us current statistics at this years blizzcon.

Well if they would only use games played by Korean grandmaster players you should get a pretty good picture where the ladder balance stands at the moment. Of course the sample size will be a lot smaller but they play a lot of games, so it shouldn't be too bad.

you speak as if terran is the most imbalanced race of all time and any idiot could win with it easily. but you are wrong good sir. ppl look always at these super grandmaster korean terrans and say "they have high winrate so this startegy is imba". but it just doesnt work like that in the lower leagues, because the players cant utalize everything that the terran race offers. and still ppl start QQing and want nerfing and buffing.

Seriously, people over-estimate PvT lategame woes. Yeah ghosts are really damn strong, but so are storms and colossi. Whenever a protoss player does lose to terran in the lategame, it actually feels like they got outplayed or outsmarted. The same cannot exactly be said for 1-1-1. If we removed 1-1-1 from the equation, I think the TvP winrates would be very close to 50%.
Lategame zerg seems to be much tougher for protoss to beat, there's no imba timing to mess with the statistics, yet the win rates are even worse. I guess its more acceptable to hate on every aspect of terran because code S is full of them.

This is really interesting. It's a lot easier to find good replays of terrans to copy than it is to find protoss or zerg. Good luck finding a bunch of PvZ replays. There is no way to tell, but I wonder if there is a trickle down effect, because more Terrans play at the top level in Korea, more terran strategies are readily available to watch, and thus on any level lower than pro Korean, people are able to learn/benefit a bit more from the Korean Terrans than from the other 2 races. (Which makes for more/better terrans, which in turn yields more pro terrans.)
Though a lot of it for sure can't transfer down that far, i.e. ghost vs ultra, need some decent apm for that.
