Furthermore, "denial" implies that there's actually some overwhelming obvious truth that I'm being defensive about, while my argument is that things are not as clear-cut as they seem to some people, and that there are pieces of "evidence" that should not be used as evidence at all in a balance discussion because said evidence is itself biased (i.e Pros talking about what they think of balance). In the end, I'll say this: I don't care what you say about me, or how much people try to cloud the credibility of my argument with accusations of "denial". In the end, all my facts are there in my previous post, and as much as you try to mar my credibility, the facts thankfully remain constant: Even in the pro level, Protoss players say that Protoss is fine, while Terran players are complaining that Protoss is OP. I can boil it down to a simple analogy to make it clearer. Let's say there's a panel of 4 experts on a subject. Expert A and B say that X is true, while experts C and D claim that X is not true. What people are essentially doing here is saying, "Oh look, Experts A and B say X is true, so HA!" while simultaneously ignoring the fact that experts C and D claim that X is not true. And in the case of SC2, experts A and B actually have a personal stake in convincing others that X is true, while experts C and D have a personal stake in convincing others that X is not true, which throws the validity of their opinions (validity in the sense of how close to the truth their opinions are) even more into question. I've said my piece, trying to make logical arguments on an internet forum is a fool's errand anyway xD Did I make a claim that I was talking about you in any way? I was making a general statement using the style you had chosen. Of course I agree that terrans have confirmation bias, but protosses have a denial bias. i.e protoss wont take his opinions into any account, while terrans will take his words as gods. Your ego makes you believe that protoss players have a more realistic look on the matchup, stating its balanced, what makes you think that terrans view on the matchup is inferior? That is essentually saying expert A and Bs claims of balance are true (despite their own personal bias, if they were unbiased they may say there was imbalance), where expert C and Ds claims of imbalance are false. | ||

He stated that for 2 Colossi you need about 8 Vikings and that eats too much into your Bio. 8 Vikings = 600 Gas. 2 Colossi = 800 Gas, yeah so cheap.... you obviously need the range upgrade, or you will not force Vikings. After I heard him say that 2 Colossi cost less Gas then 6-8 Vikings I shut down the stream in anger. So I could not care less about his opinion, that is like IdrA saying Vortex is imbalanced while he INTENTIONALLY moves his entire army into one only to prove his point instead of having spread his units in the first place. collossi cost 300/200 though. sorry, but lol. | ||

T_T Just pretend that Flash never whined about balance. It was just an interview and they wanted at least some answers to their specific questions. Plus some of the wording might have got lost in translation. | ||

Maybe I forgot 1 or 2 but I can't think of any, also Protoss STILL is the race with the lowest overall winrate according to the statistics. Some people in this thread make it sound like Protoss is insanely OP and w/e, but I'm just gonna guess most of those people are silver league terrans that have no clue that they are still playing the race that has had the most tournament wins and highest overall winrate for the last 2 years. But well, when u lose a game it's easier to blame the game then to acknowledge that u need to improve, that's entirely true ofc. I would say that protoss players are finally adjusting to the terran style of play. Protoss have been doing well. KR stats,.

That depends on how you assign importance. Because importance is just as subjective as imbalance perception, you can't argue either way. It's honestly best to leave this balance shit alone for another topic and to blizzard, because god knows (not flash unfortunately), they always choose the easy/retarded way of "fixing" something, even when progamers tell them what the problem is in simple terms. | ||

it's 200 200, so 2 collossi with thermal lance still arent 800. | ||

What do you think about the balance right now? Protoss is good and Zerg is second, then Terran. I think Terran is the worst, but others say they're second. Once the upcoming patch comes into effect I'm worried that Zerg might become OP as well. | ||

What a terrible argument. By your logic it costs 250 minerals to make 2 lings. Name me one match-up where you don't get Colossi late game. | ||

Which as we know, are really strong against terran! -_- Terran v Zerg is at the very least balanced, at worst Terran favoured until late game. Its hard to take his balance whining seriously based on him complaining about Zerg all ins. Plus he said maruaders are good. YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SAVE MECH, NOT DESTROY IT! | ||
