Obviously, such players should be top level with high reputation because they have something to lose. Otherwise, it may turn into player X is some pro gamer but on the very bottom level but doesn't care too much what others think. | ||

And I don't say anything to my opponent after a game, but that's beside the point. No "guru or mob balance mentality" here, please get over yourself. I also think that Protoss players themselves have a hard time grasping how easy this matchup is really for them. They hear stuff from Terrans like "I have to prepare against a thousand builds and I can't scout!", yet, when they play the matchup, themselves practice only that 1 build that is working for them and they don't see how it could possibly be threatening beyond measure for Terran. But Protoss Ladder Hero A does Build A, Protoss Ladder Hero B does Build B, and et caetera, until Terrans seemingly meet an infinite amount of random builds that are working really well and can't defend against them all. Even those of you who are playing "standard" and defensive and not "abusing the race" as they say, you're benefitting from all of those we Terrans had to play before you who did some random all-in which insta-killed us. With the fear of XX all-in planted, Terrans make specific plans and allocate time to defend that all-in or at least scout it and you get away with your very standard build without noticing anything. From the Terran side however, every build I can think of that would put you on the backfoot gets stopped dead by the all-mighty mothership core, except maybe that one mine drop which sometimes works... hahahahahaha. What he says is true about balance whine from the majority of opponents. It's gotten so bad that I left NA ladder for KR because I'd rather get a GG than GM league. It's amazing how oblivious people can be to the hate mongering and balance whine produced by their own community, whether it's from a stream chat, the comments on SCreddit, LR threads, or the ladder. "Get over yourself." hahahaha | ||

Throughout half of HotS Oracles (amongst others) have been said to be useless additions and that Protoss still cannot harass properly and is still forced into deathballing. Noone asked for "the speed buff", but I guess that's what happens when people shittalk units for too long. Blizzard will try to buff those units. Really, blizzard's balance patches just mirror the community's whines in a naive way. | ||

And blizzard will increase the viability of other playstyles more. And then the community will whine more about Protoss being too unpredictable.  | ||

I just wish they balanced more from an intuitive, game-lover's perspective rather than a stats-based system. The problem with stats is that if you're metrics are off you can think the game is balanced when it's not. The community feels the disconnect and gets frustrated. And moreso than just "balance" I think they should rethink keeping some awful mechanics in the game (colossi, medivacs, mules, corruptors, force fields, etc) and just nix them in favour of more nuanced units that might make the game more interesting. Also, it's 2014 and we don't have drop reconnects? Come on. | ||
