While I'm not defending the OP in any regard, I do have to call out the people responding with "just look at Taeja". One player's amazing success in the face of current trends doesn't make anything okay. It's identical to people saying "just look at FruitDealer" or "just look at NesTea" back in 2010.

Feel free to debate whether or not Terran is really underpowered in TvZ, but don't use a single pro player as conclusive evidence that everything's okay.

I reserve judgement on Raven usefulness until after I see Terrans use Ghosts more to counter Infestors. Ghosts can 2x snipe or EMP to take care of Infestors, then Ravens are free to HSM. Increased speed/acceleration should give Ravens the ability to run away a bit more easily than before.

Actually...I think Ravens are still largely useless due to the time it takes to get just one HSM (as you mentioned). I really just wanted to comment on the lack of good Ghost usage vs. Infestors in the TvZ matchup.

First Avilo thread I actually think is spot on. Good job bro. Everyone who's talking about Taeja needs to think very carefully, because a whole lot of Zerg whine happened when Nestea/Fruitdealer were winning.

I don't know why you're being so hostile towards him, he's only stating some opinions he has wether you agree with him or not you don't need to insult him.

Instead of asking blizzard to change the game because you are struggling why don't you analyze Taeja's gameplay and learn how he succeeds in TvZ.

dude stop... that's always everyone excuse, mvp is doing fine, taeja is doing fine, well guess what, nestea won an entire gsl without dropping a single game, if you wanna say taeja is doing fine, then zerg shouldn't have ever been buffed, because nestea is doing fine

Or DRG's 90% win rate in TvZ at one point, infact if that's how we're going to approach it then maybe we should have nerfed zerg!

But seriously, people need to actually have a discussion about the post instead of saying "avilo u r a fag" or "taeja does it". TL discussion is fucking embarrassing sometimes...

I'll be happiest for any buff that increase the rate of creep removal after you kill overlord/structures/tumors. Creep is a big factor in the match up which is something indirectly affecting the match up after the queen buff (as Queens can ward off Hellions easier now with the increase ranged), thus letting creep be spread easier. As we all know, creep = increased mobility + secondary vision + delays any immediate Terran push. If creep was spread as quickly as it currently is I guarantee pushes would have a better chance at dealing more damage than vs less creep spread all over the map. This obviously affects the later game, where Terran needs to stall for time to use their Ravens against the GGLords.

The tumor creep radius area decrease is a start though.

yes i agree with ghosts, this is something that terrans are starting to do more of, if you really think about it, what's the easiest way to get rid of infestors? I'm not saying I'm good with ghosts nor am i saying I'm good with terran, but a few good emps sounds like a good try

As a spectator, I find tvz to be effing boring since the queen buff...
TvZ now equals no rush 20 minutes.

Here is the catch.
The balance between Terran vs Zerg is not that off the chart that it requires immediate remedy. Unlike Reaper opening in the past against Zerg, for example.

HotS is entering its final stages of production, and hence many things will be reset.
If Blizzard do change anything for this match up, then it may hint that HotS is likely to delay further.
With that being said, it's hard to change something that only affect one match up, there will be effect on other match ups. For example, TvP and ZvP.

In sum, I can't see any changes coming if HotS is on track.

Agreed... who cares who wrote the article, he has a pretty valid point, lets leave the personal stuff out of this.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about.

MMA, MKP, DRG and many more Koreans said Z was way too good.
DRG said he can't loose a ZvT unless he makes a huge mistake.

Edit: ForGG too. He always says on his stream that Zerg is imba.

I can't believe I actually find myself agreeing with Avilo.

Personally, I'm still hoping for a rework to fungal's root. It's just such a terrible mechanic.

I for one think this is well written and hits the nail on the head. I don't think TvZ is quite as imbalanced as it was once perceived to be, but clearly Terrans are not doing as well as the other races. Taeja is essentially a god who cannot be beaten and thus using him as an example that all is well in the match up is absurd. If many of you who are complaining to avilo here watched the latest state of the game, they all agreed that the raven change was ridiculous and was completely stupid.

You guys really should be ashamed of yourselves. If you took the time to look at his post with an unbiased attitude, you would realize that he is not bitching or moaning, but merely pointing out a clear flaw in blizzards thinking as well as a proposed solution.

It's normal that it's not addressing any issues in TvZ since there is no issue, it's not possible to address something that doesn't exist sorry mate.

I agree that the changes to the raven don't help the current meta, however I will argue the hellion vs queen. A queen is designed for 1 purpose to ensure that zerg can drone. If queens are being built to 4-6 the zerg is investing on his economy, here the terran has 2 options. Pressure or macro hard (3cc), with pressure your old builds will NOT work the queen change hinders this spend time developing new builds and look for loop holes. A great player to watch is Taeja.

You can also go macro to attempt to match the zergs macro, personally this doesn't seem like a good idea to me but it works for some terrans.

Stop trying to use hellions early it won't work unless you completely out maneuver your enemy. Hellions still have there place in that they destroy mineral lines quickly, but this is best used later on in the game with multi pronged attacks and where they can go unattested.

The raven from a P/Z player just looks bad on paper it's abilities take to long and the only one really worth it is PDD. Blizzard has there worked cut out for them making it better without being OP, but I agree with you that the speed changes address nothing on there usefulness.
