A few solid parts here and there, but far too much QQ.

Overall a bad post and you should feel bad.

I think what the OP means is that the matchup has become based around a single 3-base timing (2-2, 150 supply), since early game timings are nerfed and the late game is so zerg dominant.


3 base is the max u can get(minerals) 4 base u only populate gases... how can u call 3 base 150 supply push a coinflip. Also are we gonna now cry coz someone cant cheese? I find Terran Mech to be incredibly potent late game and hard to beat with nice upgrades. I think all the whining is lazyness.


It's a coinflip because if you catch him cutting corners, you win, if he's safe, you lose.
If you wait for 200/200 and he was playing safe, you win. If he was cutting corners, you lose.

The worst is yet to come, one and one single new unit for terran to come in Hots, which unit can only be usefull if abused which will result in a hardcore nerf shortly after release to the point of becoming a "never to be seen again" unit.

Pretty depressing future ahead imo, i just can't see the point of buying Hots if it's to play the exact same game as Terran, while the two other races will have new toys to own us with : /

on topic : Enjoyed the read a lot, but i don't get why we should take it as a joke, there is just way too much valid points and statistic (damn those graphs are depressing) not to be taken seriously.

Also, thanks for the new signature, i laughed a lot at that one :p

the statement that fungal is boring to watch and lowers the skill cap is entirely true.

he's just making fun of people who think there's a method to all this madness

Yeah Ver what sucks is you made a lot of legitimate points about ZvX,but then halfway through you start your satire...

It left me quite confused. You had really strong argumentsfor a different direction...but shifting your focus halfway through sort of ruined some of the tinfoilhat's potential.

I feel like if you had just referenced it right off the bat it would have been 2x more entertaining, as more people would figure out what direction you were heading.

Still quite hilarious though <3.

Also makes me rage because these issues are fucking real >.>.

Then u are doing it wrong. Are you saing that ur basing ur game on a single attack? There is bunch of factors comming into play regardless if ur cutting corners or playing safe. Your basing you chance of success on your build? Mechanics only? Then something is seriously wrong with ur play.

Regardless of community hatred at the game, white people will still show up to watch white people beat korean people. Admit it, you watched WCS Finals to see mediocre part-time foreigners that practice on NA or Europe take games off of better Protosses and Terrans who practice all day against the best competition (er wait, nevermind, there were no Terrans there)


So passive agressive but you forgot one thing: Stephano's raw talent which is on par or even higher than most Code S champions. He doesn't practice but won most of his premier tournaments BEFORE the patchzerg problem since he is the one who changed the metagame in this direction (metagame adopted by most korean zergs too by the way.) You can hate on Nerchio, Vortix or whatever but putting a picture of Stephano there is not fair. He's not a "patchzerg".

Terran players crying day and night spoil the game as much as the current state of infestors. They will always whine until their players like MVP and Taeja (better than any protoss or zerg player am I right, since Terran is the hardest etc) win every single tournament like in 2010. I do agree with most of your post OP but stop belittling other races so much..

What? According to OP's statement (which is somewhat true), it's Blizzard fault that way to many foreigners are able to beat Koreans.

There's only one window to do damage, and that is pre-hive. The best pre-hive push is a 3cc +2/+2 attack. Mech is only good if the zerg goes afk and lets you roast 60 drones. If the push gets completely shut down the Terran can't come back and dies to infestor/broodlord.

if blizzards goal was to make white people win then both terran and protoss would be designed for 1 unit dominate every match up and attack move no matter what. however that is only the Zerg race so the only "white people" that claim regular victories over is Zerg and zerg wins every tournament unless major fluke happen

Amazing read, great insight, and not just +1, +2 or maybe +1,000,000 :D

Pro Sc2 has gone from extremely fun to watch to a scene that I don't even get excited about anymore since the dawn of the patchzergs.

I never gave as much credit to foreigner Zerg wins as I did to foreigners who won with other races, simply because the amount of skill required to play Zerg (with the infestor+turtle style) is obviously far less than the amount of skill required to play Protoss or Terran - with an emphasis on Terran.

Zerg was awesome back in the days of ling/bling/muta. Terran was awesome back when it could actually attack early game and keep the Zerg from getting out of hand. Protoss harass was cooler to see before fungal stopped it in its tracks.

Blizzard, please fix your game; I'd love to enjoy watching it again. Zvzzzzz finals are getting boring, especially when the entire point of the matchup is, as we saw in last night's Leenock vs. Violet finals, all about who can micro their infestors the best. I'd love to see Sc2 balanced around all of its units, not just 1.

Oh, and though some cry racism, it's just the way things work; more viewers is better for Blizz. My only problem is, I like to watch skill more than I like to watch foreigners, T_T I miss the days of MKP vs. DRG, when skill mattered more than investors did

One of the best OPs I've ever seen on TL. I think you're missing what really cause blizzard to go on this rampage though; "Koreans own white dudes."

Does nobody read the eu.battle.net forums from blizzard? Here it is the latest statement for HOTS that addresses this issues

Zerg

1. Hydralisk movement speed upgrade to Lair

2. Mutalisk buff to speed and/or acceleration

3. Ultralisk changed to be good vs. all ground

4. Nerf Infestor quite heavily

5. Make it easier to unburrow and reposition Swarm Hosts
