I was a high diamond terran before and I could be lower masters terrans and toss but i went on like a 12 game lose streak to diamond zergs. I guess I just don't get the matchup Let's share strats T-T My TvZ is my best matchup by far, whereis my TvP is horrendous. | ||

that said, my best matchup by far is TvT. My TvZ is very strong as well as just constant drops while turtling at your 3rd is strong vs zergs without Grandmaster mechanics, but my TvP is weak. It's funny that TvP is my highest win %, but all of my games are a 1/1/1 or variation. It's still my weakest matchup because without 1/1/1 my micro isn't good enough and my entire army evaporates during the first late game engagement. | ||

But in my personal experiences I haven't felt a lack of T on the ladder (Diamond player). | ||

If you're not going to actually read a post all of the way through you have no business posting. I reread your OP just to make sure. You go about one step from calling PvT broken, but don't cross the line. You use the choice line "I am not saying it's IMBA, but I do not like it", but then go in to saying that if things do not change, people may quit playing terran because they have to play PvT a lot. How can you say something is not broken and then say, in the next sentence, that the match up is so messed up that players will quit playing terran? You don't need to say something outright to imply it. | ||

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. why should ordinary plat to masters players like you and me not be allowed to complain if there was a severe imbalance at their level of play? yes, if you are a koren pro, you can do just fine as terran. but this fact bears absolutely no meaning for the average joe sc2 player who neither has the skill nor the will to circumvent the gimpedness of his race in any lategame by abusing the "microbility" of his tier 1 units to the max. practice and click your heart out to cope with blizzards bad gamedesign - this is an advice you can give to players aspiring to be a pro, but not to ordinary ladder folks who play the game mainly for fun. lets just make a poll where, for each matchup, we ask the tl players if they enjoy this matchup's lategame. id be surprised to see more than 10% of terrans enjoying lategame tvp. and to reemphasize my point: the main issue is not the perceived race imbalance at whatever level of play, its the game design flaws behind it. | ||

I never said anyone else is quitting because they have to play a lot of protoss. I said when I (myself again) have to play one race much more than the other two it honestly gets pretty stale. The first part of the post is simply my own perspective on my games, the second half is the numbers and polls included. | ||

But i choose to switch from Zerg to Terran for that. Playing a miror only like every 20 games is pretty nice. | ||

For instance, by trying to play a macro game (i.e. "improving" your overall game) you are actually playing yourself into a disadvantage. TvP requires Terran to be hyperaggressive and win the game early, or gain a significant advantage before 15min. | ||

But a lot of people have a negative attitude toward aggressive early builds as cheesy and All-In. But it's probabley the correct way to play the MU right now. | ||

I keep saying the same thing to myself to justify me opening 2rax TvP but with every pro doing 1rax FE i feel guilty as fuck. | ||

As a terran, the only reason I've not changed yet, is that I feel TvT is the least volatile mirror MU, where the best player wins, you can make comebacks and in general I just find it the most interesting.

Well personally I just say 2 rax is pretty much dead. I feel being aggressive with stim and medivacs is where it is at. You can be a lot more relentless and if you find an opening, you can just crush face. Atleast at my skill level, 2 rax just doesn't work anymore(this is assuming you don't atleast pull like half your scvs) | ||
