It just comes down to not large enough sample and difference in skill of the players that play the games which are taken into consideration (like top foreigner protosses dont compete in enough foreign tourneys because they train in Korea) | ||

Well if you're going to just assume things, you may as well assume that the game is balanced and all the win-rate discrepancies are due to (dozens of) other variables that affect the game outcome. Balance between different races the way most players see it IS a meaningless ideal, you'll never get 50-50s for a long period of time, you may as well give up if it bothers you that much. | ||

The patch was released on the 19th of September, after many GSL games had already been played, so it did not affect a lot of games. | ||

Protoss needs to get out of the 1 A deathball mode and try other shit. Zerg still have light years ahead yet to even get close to working out their race. With how greedy they play atm, I don't think this will happen for a while. Honestly, how many Terran BO threads do you see in the TL forums as opposed the Protoss builds and Zerg builds? Terrans not OP imo. Toss % Zerg just need some innovation! | ||

Us Terrans keep playing to learn new BO's, tricks ect whilst Protoss and Zerg just come on the forums to QQ how OP Terran is............. wow, just wow, please tell me you're not serious about this and how can you speak about how figured out the races are when you play one, and you're probably pretty damn bad at that too. | ||

It's been this way since the very beginning yet all we get are Bunker changes. Makes sense, right? | ||

I hope the patch helps, but I have a feeling that the infestor nerf is only gonna kill the Zergs... but I'm curious as to how the small Protoss buffs will play out. Still can't believe that nothing is really being done about Terran though. Ghosts, man x.x | ||

And the win/loss would have weight that depends on players rating difference? Now in many tournaments meets people, especially in early rounds, who are on different skill level. That's a lot of games, which don't tell us a thing about balance. High rating games should have higher weight too. | ||

Where? I seriously hope you don't consider just a 1 range buff to one single unit, or 60 shields on another a huge buff. Blink research time got raised to another 30 seconds, protoss can no longer warp on ramps. Overall it seems to me like the patch did relatively little to protoss. A huge buff would be a +10% more damage across the board, this didn't even come close. I doubt the month of October will show any real difference regarding PvT, I do think that PvZ will actually look better because a lot of people freaked out when they saw the fungal nerfs + neural parasite nerf and think the infestor is bad now, which it clearly isn't. However once zerg figure out that the infestor nerf isn't the end of the world and that they are still just as efficient then the graph will continue its downward spiral for Protoss across the board. Anyway, the graph looks really depressing for Protoss, I may be terran but sign me in on the sad zealot fan club. | ||

Really surprised ZvT was that negative for the zergs. edit: Agreed. The buffs were minimal. Still didn't solve too much though another tweak might be enough to limp along until a redesign. | ||
