Misconception. What it really means to "balance for the highest level of play" is that the strongest play must be balanced, but this should automatically scale down to all levels because skill levels are relative. If it's balanced for players that have skill levels of 150, then it should automatically ensure balance for skill level 5. | ||

Maybe they are already preparing a next patch, but honestly it still makes no sense, especially when we don't have time frame in which they were collected and they JUST released a patch which is bound to shuffle them around a bit. Or they want to make feedback on those numbers, though there's pretty loud "fix toss" coming from TL | ||

Naniwa, MC, Tassadar, HerO, Weekend, Shiny, Alicia, Trickster, Sase all lost. Falling out of Code A is Naniwa, MC, Tassadar, Weekend, Shinystar, Alicia, Trickster and Sase. | ||

I am not saying for blizzard to nerf the shit out of terran now, this is a another topic, BUT those BULLSHIT numbers from blizzard presented here are a LIE. SHAME ON YOU BLIZZARD Here's a thought. Since there are only 50 or 60 players that have a chance to be Code S in the GSL, couldn't it just be that the better players happened to pick terran? I'd rather look at the HUGE sample sizes that Blizzard provides than a 32 man tournament. | ||

I'm not surprised about lower levels inflating Protoss winrates against terran though, in the absence of good kiting, splitting and multitasking and army, Colossus/zealots do FAR more damage than against better players. There is definitely something the Korean Terrans know PvT that the European and American don't though...Ladder definitely shows some trends but I'd hate to think what happens in Korea if we could see just Korean GM. | ||

No one is waiting on them. And no one in the community is going to use them for anything. Blizzard simply wants us to know them... why? I think it's because balance issues are about the most significant outcry of the community in RTS gaming. While these numbers are basically nonsensical they make balance (to a casual viewer) seem pretty damn good. These numbers alleviate some of the mass hysteria regarding balance for people who take everything blizzard say as gospel (a lot of fucking people). Blizzard throws out nice looking balanced numbers and 99% think, wow the game is pretty balanced, 1% (TL nerds, redditors etc.,) are left scratching their head with the same balance concerns they've always had. | ||

They want to interact with the community and try to establish some rationale behind whatever balance changes they made for 1.4, and make going into the future. (I'm guessing) | ||

I could be wrong, but as far as I can tell, there's an increasing unrest in online communities related to balance. That recent TL article which discusses Protoss balance (and MC's fall from GSL) springs to mind. The official forums are also full of balance complaints. I'd say that this is a cautious PR move by Blizzard. | ||

I'd rather look at the HUGE sample sizes that Blizzard provides than a 32 man tournament. What defines "better players?" Ones with a better win ratio? Those players are all high level players, but it's clear that Terran have tools to deal with pretty much any situation, and for these tools there is a lower barrier to acquisition for them compared to Protoss and Zerg because of the flexibility of Terran's early units: you can basically do anything you like and be safe behind pure marine (early pressure, saves gas) or mm (stronger early pressure, takes a bit of gas) | ||

Or maybe they genuinely feel like they want to give the community some insight given the heightened amount of balance whine lately. They have done this before, it seems to me they just keep tabs on the community because whenever they post these numbers is when ever there is a lot of crying about balance within the community (more than usual) | ||

Probably the demand of them are high: they are most likely going to release the numbers during balance discussions during the upcoming blizzcon anyway. | ||
