Sorry, but you are not getting your 70% zvt WOL winrate back. Blizzard will NEVER make the same mistake. you are embarrassing yourself with posting lies like zvt was 70% in wol. even last GSL in WoL was 61% while now we have over 70% in OSL for T (both very small sample sizes). just stop posting lies like this, its getting annoying. Stop acting like zvt is t favoured. You just want your 60% winrate back, and it's really not going to happen. Blizzard listened once to people like you (queenbuff) and we all knew what happened. 1 post later its 60%? we are getting there. in fact it was 55-58%. but you are getting closer. and i dont act like ZvT is T favored. it is T favored since 5 months now. thats facts and those arent my facts but aligulac or just liquipedia facts which everybody can look up. i have a feeling you are still so mad at ZvT in the end of WoL (zergs arent mad at beginning of WoL with 60%+ winrates for T with supereasy strats like 2 rax or 5 rax reaper so maybe you should stop being mad too and acknowledge facts). HOTS is a completely new game and yes TvZ is T favored. I told 70%, then you replied that it was 61%, so I take over what you say --> you complain. TvZ is balanced as hell. The difference with WOL is that you now actually need to put the same effort in the game as the terran. And that hurts, I get that. But to cry that it's terran favoured because you can't 1a anymore, is just ridicilous.
and again you are embarrassing yourself :D

Marine tank = siege, targetfire banelings, stim & split.
Marine mine = burrow, targetfire, make sure you don't hit own marines, split.
Marine tank is actually easier than marine mine. It's not like you just have to burrow and than watch everything blow up. You need good targetfires.

Mines run faster than your army, so you need to protect them vs muta's too. With tanks you select all your tanks, siege, then shift right click the banelings. That doesn't work with mines: you need to target fire with each of them.
About the counter attacks: that's true. But controlling marine mine is really not easier than controlling marine tank.

I am actually surprised over the tvp winrate, I guess my experiences with tvp in diamond is nothing like how it is at pro level :p
|
I must say, for myself I found ways to pressure protoss in a macro game enough, to get it to end in midgame often enough to have an okay winrate vs them at the moment. But the lategame issue remains (since the ghost nerf ^^) and I wonder how long it will take for protoss to adapt to this midgame agression. (and that's what we see in terran won pro TvPs too)

Nope just the usual balance whiners battling out in another thread instead of the designated thread assigned to them.
Interesting stats mind you, it will be intersting to see if Zergs can adapt or not

Not that I have a problem with balance whining, every should feel free to express themselves, but hypocrites just annoy the fuck out of me.
On topic, looks pretty good apart from ZvT in Korea. Will be interesting to see how that match up devolpos over there in the next few months.

naw dog using tanks was insanely hard, if you lost your tanks, you where just fucked for the rest of the game, so you always had to make battle plans and position your army well, with mines its just like yolo to their third base.
Tank play was always about drawing the army away, getting into the right spot, kiting marines while targeting banes, and then once things got really close, you had to decide to use your tanks as meat shields for your marines or just fight it out and let the tanks do the damage.
mines are just so much easier when it comes into battle, as long as you have them spread a little you just have to burrow, they do the rest by just zoning.

Maybe this is not the first post from this person I am talking about as in another thread I read today he is giving off some Terran win rates and basically saying that they are overpowered in a sarcastic manner. They are just threads that I happened to read today so I can only assume this is going on a fair bit.

"from this person" shows how little you realize who you're talking about.
Blade is one of the biggest contributors to the TL forums, and yes, he plays Zerg, and he does it well. He puts together tons of guides and often participates in fruitful discussions on how to play better, experiment with less popular units and is generally a huge boon to this community.
And you come in here trying to act like he's some nobody crying about balance. If you want to argue things are fine, go ahead, but don't start accusing people of being balance whiners when they're pointing out that things are not fine.
I agree with Blade, Zerg is UP again. SH are the slowest unit in the game, Infestors are actually worse than they were on release of WOL at this point, Corruptors have always sucked, Hydras are still usually not worth using, and Vipers have proven to be lackluster. I am not ready to cry imba just yet, but these stats don't surprise me at all.
Claiming that Zergs aren't using all their options sounds like arguments back at the release of WOL, and it has all the same causes. Zerg options are there, but they suck.

why do you use 500 on the y-axis if all the bars have less than 100 games?
|
Also, we shouldn't just be examining win/loss ratios superficially; but also the nature of said wins/losses This.
Whats relevant is :
- The highest level
(to the point that the Korea winrates, even if they are established on a small sample basis, are more relevant than the 6000 + games of aligulac) Im not saying PvZ and TvZ are broken, but it definitely says : either Z is UP or Z progamers are bad / playing the wrong metagame.
- The winrate on standard games which is even lower. Again, could also mean that zerg players didnt find the right metagame yet..
The better tool we have right now is time and seeing how the metagame evolves.
I personnaly think that Blizzard left us a really raw game with HoTs which needed A LOT OF changes. I was surprised the game wasnt patch at the beginning, now Im less surprised because I understand BLizzard philosophy : letting the metagame evolve during long period of time before patching.
