If the patch (and future efforts along the sames lines as the patch) fail to encourage more varied playstyles down the line it's a failed patch, but it wasn't intended to be an overall balance patch. | ||

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.. There's an equally good chance that I've been overworked as well ^^ I'm just happy that there are plenty of top tier players from all races that we can strive to emulate if we choose to take the game more seriously  | ||

Pre patch PvT 53,8% PvZ 48,3% TvZ 50,4% Post patch PvT 52,5% PvZ 52,3% TvZ 48,0% But looking at the last list (list 99), things aren't going on the right tracks : PvT 54.29% PvZ 50.83% TvZ 42.91% Anyway, I think the reason why PvT has a more balanced W/R after the patch is that really good protoss like Daer, Trap & co didn't play that much after the 11/11. For TvZ, we see more and more mass mutalisk that looks like a bit imbalanced. Anyway, there are way less TvX match up than the others, that's also something that need to be noticed. What's list 99? | ||

You can thank pro Protosses like Dear and Rain to always keep the win rates in top tier tournaments. Am I doing it right? Pretty much. Now you need to ignore those guys who won, complain about play at your level. | ||

GJ Blizzard, good to see balanced stats They sure do. 2 base allin with SCVs and hope Protoss can't defend. If it doesnt work, its game over. It's even more fun to watch those "games" happen in tournaments. Beautiful sight indeed. ... | ||

It's a system Aligulac use, every 2 weeks there is a new list, and the list are just matchs up W/R in the 2 weeks time. | ||

That's why I post the last list where stats reflect more how we feel currently about the balance. Even though TvP is closer to 50% than I though and TvZ way more imbalanced than I imagined. | ||

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. In a game that is played as a major e-sport only the high end games matter, and nothing else. Ninja edit: I stand by what I wrote but the way i wrote is was terribad. I believe that saying if the game is "balanced" should be entirely based upon the pro stats at the highest level, even though it should be tweaked to some extend for the amateur's tastes. | ||

It's not like we've seen an increase in mech nor even more siege tank usage in that matchup. | ||

What you don't understand, is that people who watch these games are us, and if Blizzard piss us off with a broken balance at a lesser level, the game will die. You CAN balance the game in ML/GML and still having correct W/R in pro matchs. | ||

Yeah, the number of ladder heroes that can make into GM In each region doesn't really matter for balance. Its first come, first served as well. People keep citing that data, but its just the thing they use when the win/loss ratios don't favor their argument. | ||

It's obviously going to have a non-zero effect on the game, but it didn't really alter the way the unit was used or countered, other than boosting its longevity.huh, the PvT stats are odd. If anything you'd think it'd be the other way around with Protoss mostly getting all the benefits in the last patch. It's not like we've seen an increase in mech nor even more siege tank usage in that matchup. It'd be different for a unit like the stalker or zealot, which are massable and have a lot of intricate unit interactions in the early game. | ||
