I was making a response to something that was wrong which was someone saying terran has hardly been nerfed at all. Which if you have played this game at all you know is not true. Plus I can already tell by the attitude of your post that me posting any nerfs at all will just be responded with something along the likes of how they aren't major nerfs so I'm not going to waste my time. Fair enough then, I guess it really is hard objectively to decide what counts as a major nerf, so it is probably not worth either of us wasting time. | ||

So my guess is the difference between the TLPD and the German Database is that the german database includes more games, and most likely a slightly lower level of play. Thank you so much! The TLPD includes a ton of weekly cups (Craftcup for example) and showmatches (like boxer - yellow) too. Imo a graph where just games between pro gamers are taken into account would be nice :/ | ||

The random order polynomial fit made me cringe when I saw it. Don't try and impose trend lines on these things unless the trends are statistically valid - which these clearly aren't. Maybe that's just the statistician in me coming out since graphs at work here must always be perfect with no misinformation or no misleading information. | ||

Virtually every Protoss got knocked out of Code S where all the Terrans are, Code A has been ZvP mostly. If Protoss are having trouble with Terran you probably wouldn't see it because none of them can get high enough to verse all the good ones | ||

Perhaps the current win rate discrepancies are a function of map pool? Or perhaps player progression? In any case, at the very least Protoss and Zerg need to greatly improve their skill to overcome any... disadvantages that may exist in the design of the game. Also, perhaps this is a simple function of a Terran oriented game? Perhaps with the release of the additional expansion packs there will be a shift as the other races get better units and abilities that are on par with those of Terran. | ||

Blizzcon too though I would be content with throwing that tournament out. yeah lets not take player skill into account. GSL will probably will be MVP, IPL dunno maybe MC? He looked really good yesterday. + Show Spoiler + He beat 1 (one!!) Korean Terran!!!!!! Blizzcon will prob be MVP or Nestea(prob MVP because he has a good record against the Tea) GSL if MVP is still as dominant as he is will prob go to Terran. But thats because MVP is a fucking Beast. But hey lets look at championships in BW! OSL # of champions 14 T(!!!) 10 Zerg 9 P Well... maybe MSL is more balanced 12 T 10 Z 4 P ... Welp I guess BW is a broken game. Someone tell Flash that he is being carried by his race. Did I make a valid point? No! The thing is that balance is something much more complicated that watching the # of champions of each race.But its obvious that you have your mind set so I guess I am just wasting time. I am not even saying the game is balanced but basing your conclusions based on solely stuff as winrates(those can change based on the strategies used, look at how TvZ evolved through the years in BW) or # of championships is just... moronic. | ||

Looking at just champions is problematic of course. But look at these two charts ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/uxz19.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/cGzPj.png) Now realize that the Sc2 has almost 9000 more games factored in it's graph than BW's. In BW's sample of 15959 games every race takes turns going from top to bottom, and at many points every race is within 3% of each other. Now look at Sc2's graph of 25,187 games. in only two places I see the races reach within 3% for all three. (Oct 2010, and June 2011) Also notice that Terran is on top the entire length of the graph. Also look at the individual matchups. In BW we see some drastic swings, but every race takes turns above and below the 50% mark in every matchup. Now look at Sc2's matchups. PvZ is the only matchup where there is change in dominance. Conclusion = BW has better balance | ||

Having a hard time deciphering if this is a troll post or idiotic post. Someone help me. | ||

The other races have. In BW everything shifted in SC2 It seems only PvZ and ZvP take turns with metagame and the win/loss percentages. | ||
