Protoss was very good at abusing timings just before BL/infestor (and terrans too), then zerg figured out that spine crawlers are pretty good. | ||

Just saying that suddenly protoss complaining about the past and GSL's and champions and terrans and BL/infestor etc. Honestly, terran and protoss bitched a ton at the end of WoL but for some reason people dont attribute that mass of crying as anything serious because BL/infestor was actually pretty strong EDIT: Seriously, look at this thread. Everybody complaining about bl/infestor. | ||

Were they, though? Do you have some statistics about that? Some data? Some hard information? Or is it your perception? | ||

That's because even during the era of BL/Infestor Zergs were still the most vocal when it came to balance whining. As hard as that is to believe. ^Sadly probably the truth. I think zerg whining in 2010/2011 was justified to some extent, toss with 1-1-1 on xelnaga back in those builds before 10 sec shorter obs, +1 range immortal, smaller maps were just silly also And, TvZ after queen patch. I didn't judge it too much for a month or two but it got pretty ridiculous I think zerg did the most unjust whining though, it's surprisingly rare to meet a zerg player (at least at low master) that is not incredibly arrogant and biased at least in my opinion, and people like IdrA put the views in many peoples minds that zerg was somehow the weakest race while they were clearly dominant | ||

Z: Tends to complain the most. This stems from the way the race is designed I feel. Of all the races they are probably the most susceptible to early game losses to small amounts of opponents units. A lot of times the games don't end however, the Z just ends up playing out a game from extremely far behind they have little hope of winning. These types of games are probably the most frustrating to play. Additionally Z has never really had a lot of great early game options to pressure their opponent forcing them to play a more reactive style which can be frustrating if you predict your opponents moves wrong (early game options aside from all ins). T: Started out wings with unlimited tools, and had a lot of great powerful options. Through meta game shifts and balance nerfs they had a lot of those toys taken away. I think this has lead to a lot of T's feeling like blizzard hates them or something, so they've gotten a lot more protective of their toys. Which is why you saw T's flood forums in defense of the hellbat when blizzard even started to talk about it being to strong. Yes I'm aware some more intellectual people came out against it but that's sort of the same with most race changes. P: Toss has always been in this weird state of balance, I think partially because of the warp gate mechanic. Very early on 2 gates / 4 gates was extremely strong, but as those things got figured out toss had to reinvent it's meta. I think part of the reason you see toss as more silent early and mid wings was because they'd have powerful builds show their head just often enough to keep them mostly content. Toss were in wings extremely vocal about Mutas however. HoTS seems more of the same with powerful builds coming out just often enough you see toss mostly quiet, only expressing rather specific concerns. | ||

You're obviously blocking out the months where every single thread, regardless of topic, would always loop around to Queens or BL/Infestor. It was impossible to have any kind of SC2 conversation without it ending in whine about Zerg OP, or how some player was a Patchzerg...and the discussion got there it never, ever left. | ||
