Its similar to how terran was dominating early WoL - they just had so many early options that ladder could be abused by it. There was never more Terrans than Protoss gobally on highest ladder level. | ||

Protoss GMs by Region: America ~ 98 Europe ~ 92 Korea ~ 82 Just random numbers? I don't think so. I think it's wrong to just look at those numbers and claim that the game is finally balanced. Indeed, honestly I wouldn't read much into these numbers at all. In either case, I'd let the players play it out more before Blizzard decides to be hasty with more changes. | ||

 Please don't show these statistics to Terrans. Doing 2% worse in their match-ups against the other races are data that many of the complainers are not yet ready to see. | ||

So, the win rates can be completely even, but the game is still sort of bad. Too many units lack skill-requiring mechanics, which ends up limiting the game's "reflectiveness" of skill (meaning, skill is not represented very well). @bo1b There is zero reason why Blizzard shouldn't be actively trying to improve their game other than the fact that they don't really make any money off of SC2 any more. And that's the worst developer excuse (at least for a company as well-off as Blizzard is........) ever. Instead of just trying to make it so all of the races win an equal amount, they should be trying to improve the mechanics and aspects of the game. They should change some skills around so that they do something more interesting than totally slow a huge area (Time Warp). There is really nothing the Terran can do once time-warped, as the spell is gigantic and has far too strong of an effect. The role of TW is also fulfilled by Force Fields, so there was not really much of a reason to add it in the first place. They have a TEST SERVER for this exact reason. Might as well have it constantly up with new changes. They could just throw totally random things up on the test server and it'd be better than how it is now. | ||

For Protoss and Zerg, I feel that the player skill is not as high, save for a few players. When discussing top players, it always feel to me like there's more Top Terrans than top Zergs and Protoss combined for some reason. | ||

It's always good to have hard data, and it's nice to see a general balance between the races Please don't show these statistics to Terrans. Doing 2% worse in their match-ups against the other races are data that many of the complainers are not yet ready to see. Has the patch been out for a month yet? I just don't see a justification for a balance patch after the game was pretty much balanced. | ||

Definitely the best race to play with the highest skill ceiling. Hell I think there's still room for improvement to exploit Terran even more. For Protoss and Zerg, I feel that the player skill is not as high, save for a few players. When discussing top players, it always feel to me like there's more Top Terrans than top Zergs and Protoss combined for some reason. Thats because you're biased as hell and have never played either race to a high enough level. | ||

Fair enough on the "too early to see how this new patch plays out" claim, although even Before The Patch it was essentially balanced too. +/- 3% from 50% is a pretty small margin. | ||

You can thank pro Protosses like Dear and Rain to always keep the win rates in top tier tournaments. Am I doing it right? No. I'm saying there's more top Terrans than there are Zergs and Protoss combined. That and race design. When Terran is controlled right, which we've seen countless times, it's a hell of an army that I believe nothing can beat. I gave an example of the high skill ceiling and its control requirements. Off the top of my head: Terran: Taeja, Innovation, MMA, Maru, MVP, Polt, and Bomber. Zerg: Soulkey, Scarlett, Life (recently bouncing back), and Jaedong Protoss: Soulkey, sOs, Dear. I didn't even think of Rain till you brought it up just now. Maybe studying is getting to my head... Not making a good argument am I? Should take a break..

That can be patched right? | ||
