I wouldn't expect any buffs to Terran any time soon, as of now there are 10 Protoss, 17 Terran and 7 Zerg in Code S. To help fix this Terran Ghost got nerfed not that long ago. Truth of the matter is Terran is still pretty much the "Strongest" race. There are no Terran professionals that put their hands up and say this game is broken Terran can't win cause it simply isn't true and major tournament results show this. Ironically Terran might receive more nerfs in the not too distant future because the Marine and the Mule are still slightly overpowered. It sucks that you guys have a 40% winrate at lower levels but its impossible to buff terran to the point where its fair for lower levels cause it will just ruin every Professional who didn't pick terrans career and the game fails as Esport cause no one wants to watch GomTvTvT.


The only reason GSL is still like that is because of the ridiculous amount of all-ins that Korean's are doing every game now in TvP. So essentially the problem of this MU goes far beyond us common league players, as the MU was already boring to watch, now on GOM its getting to the point of all ins or get raped.... Very low entertainment value. (Look at last weeks up/down matches, obnoxius amount of all ins) Blizz can fix this, although it would be very difficult, by doing what ppl have been saying since release...... nerf early game, buff late game.

And yes Pro T's have voiced some concern

There's still something I don't understand.
Everyone on ladder has 50% winrate, except top GM, and the pit of hell of bottom bronze. That includes Terran players.
On this thread, and many others, Terrans ALWAYS claim having less than 40% winrate in TvP. So one of two things (or the two at the same time of course): either they're fucking good at TvZ (if so we have to ask if TvZ is not too T favored), or they all have ridiculously high TvT winrate, which is absurd.

My guess is that people on TL don't represent the major part of the SC2 players, they represent those who invest more and try to improve earnestly and shit and maybe go the late game more often than not. So the Terran part of TL will indeed feel a little desperate against the other two races. Blizzard didn't say anything on TvP (yet) winrates on ladder, which means the rest of the Terrans are fine in TvP, probably one basing every single game (there are many notorious ladder players that are known to only 1 base, Terran is the only race which allows such a success with consistent one basing, Protoss at least has to make it a bit unpredictable)

There will always be a problem when Terran can pick up so many easy wins early game, this will block Blizzard to act and try to fix their weak lategame.
When I played Protoss on ladder, Terran was by far the cheesiest race. God those guys like their all ins, and I can't blame them, it's always fun proxying some shit on the map, pulling SCVs or attacking with every Terran unit on 1 base :D


It's pretty simple. TvT and TvZ are actually balanced, but since you lose to protoss at about your mmr, if you face enough in a row, you tank down and start facing worse Ts/Zs that you absolutely roflstomp. Then face a protoss and lose.

I can beat top 25 Masters T/Z but I can lose to Diamond P.

this is reflected in most of my T friends, where one is high masters and consistently beats GM T/Z but loses to top25~ P

Yeah, don't worry, I get that perfectly. But not EVERY Terran can have the same distribution (which is what you say, and what I see everywhere), that's my point. Blizzard would notice it instantly with their internal numbers, and fix it even faster (with some ridiculous balance changes that would probably fuck up GSL :D)


They don't, I'm high Diamond/Low master and TvP is my best matchup, If I move up it will probably change, as I have friends who are far better than me who struggle a massive amount in the matchup, but as of right now I do pretty well at it.

Personally I find TvZ to be the hardest of all




Well, I'll join in with my story. Not every terran is at 30% with TvP, but that doesn't mean that it's not part of the same problem.

My worst MU is TvZ and after grinding out baneling splitting and multitasking on customs for the last 4-5 months, I finally beat my first Z in Diamond, 2 days ago. As I meet mostly Z, my MMR is tanking and when I meet a T I laugh and crush him, when I meet a P they 4 gate me or I 111 them -.- But both the T and P that I meet are laughably easy to beat for me compared to Z. So, if one of the races you meet more is your weak MU, that will decrease your MMR in such a way that it inflates your win rates against the other MU's.

P.S. I'm extremely macro oriented, but I gave up on trying to do my favourite 1 rax expand against P. Even against the (comparative) dummies I meet on the ladder now, I have little success with it.

And to add one, I also do pretty good against protoss. But as said countless times in this topic, and I really dont get how people can miss it if not trolling, the win prc from terrans against protoss isnt the biggest issue, the issue is the time you got to win. The only way the average terran player beats the average protoss player is by preventing the game from going late game.

That works, and thats why I think i got above 50% win percentage against protoss, although I dont know exactly. But it is exactly that, or I crush him with a (semi) cheeze/all-in, or he wins. Winning late game against protos is simply not a possibility for me. Now I can live with it, but looking at the amount of tears coming from protoss players who get all-in'ed by terrans, it doesnt look like protoss players can live with it.

I played another TvP the other day, and both of us maxed out. I had 5 bases and toss had 4. Toss had both colossus and storm, and I had a bad feeling about it, but I had to try. And for the first time I actually won a maxed out fight! It was the best feeling in the world, since that never happend before. I got my vikings in good position, I dogded some storms, and microed better than Ive ever done before (however, if the toss microed better, he would beat me). Nevertheless I lost the game (he reinforced a archon/zealot comp so quickly) that i couldn't hold of.

But still that was a great feeling, to know that its not unbeatable.

Yeah, it feel good to win these maxed out fight.
But it should be that way, since your army should be bigger in the end ( less scv, more army supply )

NOOOOO, have we even lost the mech king to the foul protoss? Fuck my life. Danish GM player cupcake also switched to protoss (and is now 100 ranks higher in GM than he ever was.) Has any pro switched TO terran within the last 3-4 months?

Says the protoss player

The majority of people here realise that terran is capable of winning against protoss, that's not the point of this thread. The point is more that you need to be top Korean Terran, at lower levels the MU is more difficult for the terran. But even then, protoss are doing better and better against T, even in Korea.

What's your best MU out of interest? :p

Edit: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-international/players/2236_Perfect According to TLPD its PvT; shocking.

There's morrow, who came back to Terran for one match up.. :<

But foreign have greater succes when they switch away from Terran.
Just look at TLO... Since he's back at Zerg he's kicking ass.

He never came back to Terran, he has just never played ZvZ. And no i don't think anyone has switched to Terran, nor do I think that anyone would want to, we're not exactly the flavor of month.

I'm a diamond terran and the main issue I have with tvp is beating chargelots. You need really good stutter step micro. I'm not the greatest at it in the first place and with the 200ms latency I get to both SEA and NA its really just infuriating and makes me want to break my keyboard everytime I lose to an a-moving "i maek zealot" protoss. I'm guessing terrans around my skill level probably feel the same. I havn't played any ladder matches this season.

I feel you on the latency there. Get about 300ms here to EU. Makes playing terran even harder.

It must be hard balancing for all levels though.

Top terran still do well against protoss, MC is arguably the best protoss in the world and he just barely squeezed out a win against Puma at IEM, where Puma didn't all in and often expanded before MC (getting 3rd while keeping MC from expanding). Puma is for sure a great player but he's got worse practise partners and his track record isn't really comparable to MC.

So what changed should be made? I read that someone suggested no autocast charge and manual surround, but if they change that i'm pretty sure terrans will dominate TvP as getting as good a surround will be next to impossible with all the stuff pros need to keep track of in fights.

Beasty proposed that change. And it's no harder than having to kite back constantly.

Edit: I'd prefer more radical change though, but until Hots those will not be possible.

I just wanted to add that we really need to gather a good set of data before we start analyzing and then drawing conclusions. Of course everyone is free to speculate, but don't think we can put much weight into most of the statements here. We cannot really say anything relevant unless we accumulate a lot of data. Some people say there is a too big portion of Terrans in big tournaments. And now some people claim to see fewer of them in the ladder.

This is relevant for balance discussion as well.
