I was ascribing single metagame changes to a minor balance shift over a large generalised pool of games. Although I disagree we haven't seen that many games ending with a mothership in PvZ in games that go to the late-game. Of course most ZvPs are all-ins from one player or the other, but mothership off 3-4 bases for those games that go to maxed armies is back in a huge way. Like nearly every game a protoss can afford it, they get it. | ||

The reason why terran though is favored in these charts though is that in pro-level terrans has that micro which i was talking about and protoss can't do much about about it as TvP engagements is mostly about what terran does. If terran does a shit job and misses all EMP and gets his vikings kiled before defeating the toss army he loses, if he hits all EMP and kills every collosi before they can do significant damage he wins. This is why pros with good micro wins TvP and gold-level scrubs loses it. I feel like the matchup needs a rework. So they should change the match up so you can miss your EMPs and lose your vikings, but still win the fight? I don't think they should change the game to make easier. Now if you want to talk about the PvT match up being to unstable for both sides, that's a discussion worth having. That match up is filled with one sided victories due to one missed forced field, emp, storm, stim or blink. | ||

Skymech hasn't been seen being used other than here and there in a random bo3 since beta against protoss. People aren't learning to aim with EMP any more than 3 months ago, they've just been getting more ghosts. The core problem of the matchup is warpgate remax and zealots ability to tank damage for Protoss AOE units so well. And Terran getting ebays earlier than Protoss STILL end up with Protoss hitting 3/3 first because of chronoboost. Come on man. | ||

Can only say that most pro terrans that I watch streaming seem to just always do soem kind of allin against protoss. The trend I've been noticing is the 2 base big brother of 111, same combination of units, just now with stim and more slowpushing(starting a bit further back that is). | ||

I agree with most of this, but Skymech is definitely seeing a resurgence for particularly strong timing attacks (see: Jjakji's TvP). I don't know if this counts as skymech, but MKP in particular loves going 1-1-1 with Hellions/Medivacs in TvP. | ||

That match up is filled with one sided victories due to one missed forced field, emp, storm, stim or blink. The win ratio of 30 zealots with 3/3 and charge seems pretty solid to me, there's a reason why a PvT monster like Polt says that he feels like he has to either 14cc or 1/1/1 against random ladder scrubs in the new big maps. | ||

So, if there are only problems coming from Protoss OPness, how do you explain the even winrate? Better, Terran is actually ahead. My only problem with Terran is the strength of their one base play because of minerals oversaturation with mules. This is really problematic, design wise. Why would they be allowed to have 25% more income on one base than Protoss or Zerg (you saturate with roughly 16-20 SCV and a MULE mines like 4 SCVs so it's literally 20-25% more mining)? It's gigantic and emphasizes all-in play, because of the momentum you gain over the over races. The rest I'm ready to acknowledge everything you want, from "chargelots a-move boohoohoo OP, I must stutter step and it's hard  " to "mech is so bad, why can't I go mech even though Protoss can't go stargate either :'(".But I'd like the one base terran imbalance (in my humble opinion) to be dealt with, first. Then, nerf Protoss to the ground if you want. | ||

Also you have to consider that only the top games are taken so unlike ladder stats for example there isn't corrected for rank here. For example the last patch might have buffed PvZ and PvT, which in turn can cause more P to qualify for the tournaments based on their PvZ for example. In tournaments the PvT results could actually go down then because PvZ was buffed more then PvT. Just an example but many, many effects like these can happen. A narrow observational study like this simply can't reveal things like matchup balance well. Also you can not really assume trends from these lines too much because they are very swingy by nature, the exact line also depends very much on the bin width you choose (month here). Contrasting this with ladder statistics would be nice, ladder stats corrected for rank are the best way to look at balance still if that's your goal imo. | ||

I think its crazy that people are stilllll complaining because this game isn't balanced around diamond league. The stats are fairly clear - in December, the match up was slightly Terran favoured across the board. Thats not a lie, its a fact. I agree that the match up feels very boring to watch - as pointed out above, its usually one specific action like a missed force field or EMP, one big battle and then its just who wins wins the game, which is pretty bad design. But considering the amount of QQ this month from Terran players regarding the match up, these stats seem to be pretty good vindication for everyone who said 'lets see what happens over the next few months.' | ||
