Not only do I have 1 second latency to begin with, difficult to do split, all the toss needs to do is storm. If he gets enough HTs, he can just keep storming as a way to defend/offend. It's so annoying. Same as ZvP. It doesn't matter if you get a nice flank if he just do some forcefields and just sit there killing everything. My win rate against P isn't low but damn, sometimes the game is so punishing on one mistake and takes away every advantage you ever had | ||

I mean, Blizzard doesn't really react quickly when people say a race is imba or not But if you say playing X race/class/talent tree is "not fun" then I think they jump right on it. EDIT: also like the guy above said. Terran is micro intensive and therefore lag-sensitive. Almost everyone has some sort of lag, which i'm sure skews balance a bit, but certainly must be taken into account by the designer folks for the expansion, which I hope will come before the next next olympics [a fifty fifty chance] | ||

It is balanced around doing multiple drops, banshee harassment, great micro (Marinesplits, stutterstep...) etc. T is also less forgiving. If you miss a drop P can warp in stuff, Z usually has fast units, both have cannons/spine crawlers, Terran is fucked. | ||

For a long time my winrate against protoss dropped drastically, as I just couldnt win no matter what I did. Then, I tried some new things and I have had a better win ratio. I think terrans are going to have to do the same thing, because I just dont see bio being winnable in a longer game anymore. Colossus, storm and archons and zealots is simply too much AE and tanking capability for bio to handle. | ||

While all races get hate, I've played all three races to about a platinum level before finally settling on Terran. While playing the amount of hate I get as Terran is overwhelming. On Forums I see a lot of the same thing as in chat channels. | ||

Personally, I think that BC's need their energy removed as do thors. BC's main attack should also do some sort of AOE damage simliar to toss and zergs T3 capital ships (maybe even make an additional building that costs 400/400 a requirement to research the BC's AOE upgrade). Right now Terran is a joke but thats to be expected when only two people are balancing a game. I'm not trying to brag but even I think as a measly master league player and a gamer with a wide range of experience in multiple game genres that I could balance the game better than how Blizzard is doing right now. | ||

Diamond Terran: TvZ: 62 replays - 31-31 (50% winrate) TvP: 44 replays - 31-13 (70% winrate) TvT: 35 replays - 12-23 (34% winrate) -.- now iam interested how many games there are for the last 6 months ^.^ samplesize for the last 6 months: 1214 TvZ: 463 replays - 210-251-2 (45%) (don't remember those draws but meh^^) TvP: 424 replays - 251-173 (59%) TvT: 329 replays - 149-180 (45%) this would be a much higher sample rate than presented in the OP, and it's still clear that there are much less terrans arround on the ladder. Just to silence people who are going "that's a small sample rate" ^.^ the reasons for that i guess were stated above already, the dated view on terran "imbaness", as well as the overall pretty complex macro system, are good reasons why people tend to move away from terran, also micro intesity and the most draining long mirrormatchup in the game, is what keeps people away i guess ^.^ but still, i would never switch my race ... just love terran too much <3 | ||

I played terran to a plat level went protoss to diamond (mmr playing masters) currently in the process of switching to zerg. I found i got hate roughly the same amount as terran as i did protoss. As protoss roughly everything you do gets classed as "cheese" ... as terran almost everything i did got called "imbalanced". I'd say the BM quota on the ladder is equal to each race  . | ||

Seriously, I am so tired of these threads. It is just a rehash of everything that was said before. | ||

Look, Terran are disappearing from the ladder, do you see my cherry picked stats that I pulled from SC ranks. Sure Terrans are doing fine in Korea, always rank highly in the GSL, but that does not matter. What matters is that Grandmasters does not have a perfect 33/33/33 split. Seriously, I am so tired of these threads. It is just a rehash of everything that was said before. I never ONCE said that I thought Terran was the weakest, I said it was the least played. If you're not going to actually read a post all of the way through you have no business posting. | ||
