How can the game be balanced, when the current GSL code S is 13P 9Z and 2T?

Unless you consider 'amount of effort to win a game' as something immaterial and not worth considering.

lol, you mother fucking Terran idiots always say shit like that and its so stupidly untrue. Get off your high horse, your race isn't harder to play, you just need to adapt. Isn't that what you shit heads were telling Zerg/Toss during GomTvT? Seriously, the Terran pros that have trying new stuff and adapting their play are still winning. It's the idiots that are still doing the exact same thing from WoL beta that are crying about not being able to win.

I've been seeing some Terrans using more hellbat and widow mines in TvP and having very good success with them. Its like the rest of you retards forgot midgame hellbats with blue flame absolutely shit all over Zealots, or that widow mines do bonus damage vs shields. But no, since the same MMM comp that has been used for THREE YEARS has been figured out and Protoss players are FINALLY starting to be consistent with their mechanics and micro, it's obviously P being op.

Jesus dude, you are seriously one of the WORST whiners on this forum, and one of the reasons I have trouble stomaching these forums anymore. If you hate everything so much, go away.

Christ.


Lol, let's see Blizzard make every map like Daedulus and watch how the Protoss Pros adapt...

If you look at the win rates for BW over time, the game was fucked up for way longer periods.

And to be fair, I think terran could use some love in the scouting department. Their main problem is they don't have a way to get the information they need to adjust their builds, IMO. But I don't think the world is ending for terrans.

KrazyTrumpet, you are a brave man and I endores you're rant. There are some great terrans(like little Libbo), but the whiners are among them.

In fairness I am being disingenuous as I am only playing Terran since my return from 6 months, albeit that's for two days. I want to see if I can take games off the other guys in LRSL with having not played in that long lol, so I am not practicing

When I say it's hard, I mean purely the mechanically taxing side of things. Zerg seems hard mechanically too, but it's not my mechanics holding me back with that race, it's just being unfamiliar with how to gauge their burst production, vs the more linear Terran/Protoss styles.

Yeah, because we all know protoss never whines... Just look at the LR threads when Daedulus is played... Stop try to paint terrans are not willing to adapt while just whining and protoss as players that will always try to adapt and never whine.

Please, of course they whine all the time about stuff, like maps, PvP and the dreaded swarm host. They all whine, but there have been a rash of "woe was Terran" threads in the last few months.

55 pages in the balance whine thread. That's 55 pages of people limiting themselves :p It's true that there needs to be changes, but this isn't productive anymore.
Can we help spread the word and create pressure to get Rob Pardo to replace Browder as head of Sc2? Pardo led the team for broodwar, frozen throne, and wow/BC. We need to make this a thing before LotV development starts. Think about it.

Just some stats from GSL.

There were 14 TvP bo3, T won in 1 ... so P vs T on GSL 13-1
If we talking about sets PvT is 28-6 ...

The only terran which passed in code S Bbyong - didn't played any TvP he won TvT and TvZ.
So right now all terran players who faced Protoss in group matches didn't pass to code S.

If Supernova will pass(he is playing right now) then again keep in mind that it is because of his TvZ his TvP he has lost already.

At least, that TvP was entertaining with mech and carriers! But still, I really hope DK is putting his nose out of statistics and watches the VODs to see how much Terran are struggling in a series against Protoss.

Let's all go crazy over a small sample size of games from the GSL! Meanwhile, terran has a 64% win rate in Proleague, while protoss has a win rate of 44%.

Yeh 1week of proleage where terrans won is enough to postpone any toss nerf for another couple months. But Mass slaughter of terrans on GSL - suddenly is a too small sample size...

May be when there will be no terrans in Ro8 Gsl they will start thinking

And yeh 44% winrate isn't the same thing as 17.5% winrate which we have now in TvP GSL

Those stats are horrible and the sample size is large enough. Maybe David Kim will do something. Or maybe David Kim will buff the Oracle again.
