As an example, a Terran 1-1-1 against a Protoss (I can't site an example right now) would be very effective and can kill of the Protoss at the 14 minute mark if the Protoss doesn't defend properly. However when the contain is broken and Terran retreats, they still stay in the game despite having a very distinct disadvantage of going for a strategy that was intended for an mid game kill but did not work. I might be completely wrong though and if someone can prove/tell me otherwise, please do! | ||

One thing I'd like to add and put in question is that to me Terrans also seem to stay in games waaaay after the've already ,ore or less lost whereas zergs seem to throw in the (too) early GG more. I guess this would makes sense seeing as Terran has pretty good defensive abilities and are therefore hard to kill whereas if you lose too much as Zerg you do not have anything to fall back on at your base. | ||

It hides the clear trend that the later the game goes, zerg winrate increases and terran winrate declines. I'd suggest using horizontal lines instead if you want to display the overall winrates. Otherwise its a very nice statistic to look at, looking forward to more of this. | ||

If an attack fails, there is no need to gg out immediately, because you have a chance to equalize the situation until your opponent capitalizes on his advantage (tech, eco, units). If you defense fails, you are dead. Terran are nearly always the attacking party. Zerg nearly always the defending one. If a Terran eats a 6-gate and toss tears down bunkers and razes the natural, the terran gg's out. If the terran holds, the toss stays in. | ||

It just makes me sad when blizzard nerfs a lategame ability when T is already 35% in lategame. Is it that hard to give vikings a few more dmg against bio and give zerg better scoutting for the early game? | ||

Either cuts muta balls up in size or there's far less banes, which means less tanks needed, which means more marines! Who needs other units when you have those guys? | ||

I'm not arguing for or against Terran late game, but as far as I know Terrans try to finish their games very early. So if the late game count is drastically lower than mid game it might be at least part of the reason. | ||

I'd be more than happy to see terran late game buffed in exchange, because as much as i love the diversity of each race, I don't want to get to the state where one race is only for turtling, second is only for cheesing and third is somewhere inbetween. | ||

At the 10 minute mark, Terran does a marine tank push to 'pressure the Zerg' (it's an all in). Zergs get mutas out afterwards and lolz Terran around for 10 minutes. Terran can do nothing but turtle until max on 3 bases. Terran finally goes for it at 20 minutes into the game, but Zerg arrives with 5 brood lords and 8 infestors after losing the first engagement. Terran loses a 10 minute game at the 25 minute mark. With Protoss, if your blink all in fails, or your dt rush is spotted, zerg makes 200/200 and attacks. | ||

This arguments can be used the other way: Terrans cheese early-mid game, because they have a hard time fighting against late Z or P, and it would also be confirmed by most terran players imo. Then, the fact that Terrans have same problems with P lategame, shows that there is something wrong with Terran late army composition, given reality that P like to cheese in pvt as much as T and therefor should have same late game win rate if everything were balanced. | ||

Anybody thought of WHY so many terrans go for those all- ins. Hint; lategame is retarded. | ||
