Yea, I've been trying that lately but it just irks me when people who are obviously oblivious to TvP metagame come here and spout BS. Like srsly, PDD for late game Toss? Show me the Toss who is using mass stalkers lategame... dat bronze. | ||

Seems like Europe is still having somewhat of an issue with TvP, but if there's that big of a difference between Korea and Europe, there must be something else responsible besides just balance. The stats are from all skill levels.

When Z started to use Baneling landmines I thought T would have to start to use ravens in that MU but they seem to rely more on scan. Then again Zergs dont do Baneling landmines nearly enough. | ||

The MUs look balanced and at this point i think they don't care about anything else except win %. Gone are the days of buffing warp prisms, archons, etc just to make the game more fun/ give options. Sucks ass they didn't "give options" to Terran in TvP outside mmmmmmmm | ||

He doesn't address issues like lategame TvP because he doesn't have the power to do anything about it. Yea, my friends and I have been feeling this for a while. For the most part we've just dispersed to different games in hopes that HOTS will be decent. None of us have high hopes though. Gonna go pro D3 I guess.. | ||

I've taught myself to target fire infestors and banelings; shouldn't I be able to target fire templars? To answer my own question, "maybe". And the differences are. (1) in TvZ if your marines are even a little pre-spread it's not as important to micro them. And when you do, you can just run them away and go back to target firing w/ the tanks. In TvP if you just run your bio away, the chargelots will kill the front line of tanks super fast. (2) Unless the Zerg army has roaches or ultras, its ability to survive tank blasts is pretty low. (3) Finally, making tanks means you have less gas for upgrades, Marauders -- the only tank-y unit in TvP -- medivacs, and ghosts. So your bio will have fewer HP per supply or cost than if you didn't have tanks. People seem to be experimenting with tanks more lately (maybe thanks to MKP at MLG Columbus?), but even then they abandon tanks in the late game. Maybe it's worth trying to stick with them for the late game? Or go for some combination like Hellion/Marauder/Viking/Ghost? | ||

The pro player and caster feedback regarding which races are overpowered or underpowered is very evenly distributed among the three races, which is a very good sign. feedback from the casters? how in the world is their opinion as relevant as that of pro players? | ||

With building armor they tank a lot. Probably hard to pull off though. | ||

For example, if TvZ was imbalanced, you could see a zerg with 40% vT, 60% vP, and 50% vZ, and the ladder system would have no effect on those percentages. | ||
