honestly i don't think that it is too bad and i think that Terrans will find new ways to handle the new queen.
eventhough under 40% winrate for Terran vs Zerg in korea is pretty bad...

The *plentiful* Terran players get knocked out of code S, where do they go? OH WAIIIITTT. /criticalthinkplease Yeah I did watch last season which had the most Terrans than any other race in Ro32 and had one terran in every round (no zergs in Ro8 onward). Besides I'm talking about the upcoming season which has more Terrans in code S and code A than any other race. How did you possibly get anything else from my post? | ||

I mean the highest Terran rank on KR ladder is rank 10, couple weeks ago the highest rank was rank 20, so they're getting better. Terran is so whiny nowaday. I don't see a lot of GM Korean Terrans posting on Teamliquid about how playing Terran is impossible. | ||

<sarcasm mode off> Those statistics just show us, that the latest balance whine raised by Terran players wasn't out of place. TvP on this statistics looks pretty much balanced, but I want to see a statistic which shows how many of those wins were achieved after Terran all-ined. I'm pretty sure it would be at least 25-30%. Even tough the latest balance patch didn't directly affect Terran, but. Queen range = no hellion opening. No hellion opening = Drones, drones, drones, drones, queen, drones, drones... For the first 6 to 8 minutes. By then, Zergs economy is gigantic compared to Terrans. Then, Observer production time. I was playing mech in TvP pretty often with cloack banshee opening. Even if the opponent did a fast robo, his Observer was out of position and I could kill at least 6-10 probes, before he produced another one. Now, with chronoboost it takes 15 seconds to build an observer. By far, out of 8 games I did cloack banshee opening, the maximum i managed to kill was 7 probes... And Robotics was very late, only 50% done, when my banshee finished. I've had like 8 different openings for TvP, 5 for TvZ. Now, after this patch it's reduced to 5 for TvP and 2 for TvZ, because the rest became irrelevant after the changes. What is more disturbing, Blizz said that the next patch 1.5.0 will not include any balance changes. After 1.5.0 it is said, that there will be no updates until HotS. Fortunately, my PvT is around 70%, PvZ around 66% on my smurf acc. Just hope I won't be getting many PvPs (42% win) and manage to stay in Masters...

Terran still has to go helions to have some sort of map presence and to scout all ins. Not to mention helions are almost a neccesity to stop ling bane all ins. But now, since "helions are trash" (Ret's words), Zerg is free to drone up and spread creep with 4 queen opening. It's kind of ridiculous when you try to kill 1 creep tumor and 2 queens brings one of your helions to red and the creep tumor doesn't even die. | ||

and seriously why they changed range from 3 (seems a bit unfair for zerg) to 5 (IS A LOT UNFAIR FOR TERRAN) shouldnt such changes be made "Step by step" like doing it 3 --> 4 see how it turns out, isntead 3-->5 that way t should actually focus more on micro while doing 2 raxes//hellion pressure. and creep spread wouldnt be so easy as it is now. + reapers wouldnt be as much useless + scouting scv's would survive a bit longer. | ||

I was thinking the exact same thing. There was also a interview with MMA and he got the following question: Q: TvZ has not been looking good for Terran recently, what kind of opener do you currently favour? And how do you deal with creep tumours nowadays? A: Zerg is now very very strong! Not too long ago I was complaining to a very strong ZvT player, and he told be that ZvT now is very easy. Giving the queens equal range as Hellions have made it very difficult to limit creep T_T Source: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=342211 | ||

Dealing early damage and containing the zerg should not be easy. And I think that's what the problem was, doing that before the patch was too easy (relatively speaking). The queen buff may have made it too hard (I believe it is too early to tell definitively, although I am starting to lean to the side that it is too hard), but the fact that it used to be easy shows that there was a problem, since so few zerg players were able to make it difficult. You would often see the zerg player quite often just die to the first 4 hellions if they hadn't invested in an extreme amount of defense. Also, MMA is far and away my favorite player so I'm not just attacking his opinion or whatever. Also, that is a terrible OP, put your opinions in a comment, not there. | ||

Why do we even bother releasing these graphs. Seriously shut up. If Terran is so weak, it will begin to show consistently after a long period of time. This is the first month Terran has begun to look underpowered statistically and only in tvz. Until then what the fuck do you want anyone to do about it? | ||
