If you really think toss is that easy plz go play toss on ladder and see how high you get in 1v1 ladder. Even with a bit of practice, it definitely won't be higher than what you achieved as Terran. Remember SjoW thinking toss was so OP and thereby switching to Protoss? I hope you remember how successful that was. Oh wait, but with OP GOSU TERRAN MECHANICS he should've been automatically top 16 GM on the server, no? What went wrong, I thought toss was just 1A and freewin? hahaha SjoW is a bad player compared to other pros so it doesn't matter what he plays BUT I say that is he would have played Protoss from the beggining he would have reached better results, and no i know that Protoss isn't freewin and requires lot's of skill. Scarlett did beat DRG with Protoss at MLG now so i don't know why are you giving me exaples of switching races. BTW if a Terran and a Protoss switch race with identical skill and play a PvT with races switched the Protoss still wins.. I have tested this with my friend,master leauge both of us so yeah... Protoss is stronger than Terran no doubt | ||

My very favourite matchup is ZvT, but watching foreign zergs beat Korean terrans makes it difficult to enjoy it, and I watch less and less Starcraft nowadays. The same foreigners also win against Korean protoss and Zerg, so I don't really see the point. | ||

Dude, this is basically the exact opposite of what most knowledgeable people demand from Blizzard.

But props for the hard work, i would hate to see less and less terrans in tournaments and ladder games. However this game was overpatched, 45% winrate for a matchup should not be a big deal, but when it happens people say "x race is clearly imba and should be nerfed". While its true we had balance issues there is no need to cry about it for months until David Kim "fix" the game. Terran was OP beyond aceptable levels (from my perspective) for a few months, as soon as the game was released. They fixed and it was all good. But Hots is going to be remembered as a game that was never done, since big balance patches are done because a race wins 55% of the time. Change the map pool, fix only what is harmful for the game. All those patches to "fix" the slightly favoured terran race in early Hots simply created other issues. Hots is in beta stage, they just sold it in advance, hopefully LotV is going to be a more stable game. | ||

"Based on this we'll get "WITCHHUNTING" and possibly "BALANCE PATCHES THAT MIGHT FIX THE GAME!?" Mind blown. | ||

No one or two mechanics make a matchup broken.. it is the culmination of all the options. You could have left BL/infestor totally alone in WOL - remove the queen buff / reduce an early game option for zerg to bring it closer to balance without touching either "broken mechanic" This article is a long time coming and very well done.. I love the reaction of some of you idiots though.. it's incredible.. even if this doesn't help blizzard realize how badly they screwed up it's totally worth it to get to see peoples delusions about how good they are at the game and how "terrans just need to man up" disappear at the foot of a long list of facts and games that actually happened. You can say what you want about his opinion of the games and the stats, but both the stats and the games are real. The majority of you whining about this aren't even debating anything in the article with your own stats, your own games to illustrate your point. All you are saying to anyone with a moderate IQ reading your words about "this is just toxic and untrue and bad for the community!!" is - "please no why did you do this.. I really had convinced myself I was that much better than my Terran opponents - this makes it seem like I possibly have an unfair advantage..I might actually have to come to grips with that now and get better at the game ;(" Thanks for putting this together. Strawman harder. People are mostly agreeing with the general idea disliking the childish way that is used to explain it. You can't go around shitting on players like soo and others simply because they aren't T. You can't say hellbat drops were ok vs Z and P. I do agree the mine nerf should have been either way smaller or not done at all but what is there to go around calling every non T player a scrub? The same type of stats he uses to prove his point show that T was OP when he had both broken hellbats and mines (again, I'd revert the change to how they were during that time, they were ok but not coupled with hellbats..). But that is dismissed as Z and P only having to adapt...... now adapt to mass muta vs T, adapt to tanks being bad, adapt to immortals beating tanks, adapt to protoss having many different openings, adapt to P defending with MSC alone.... you see my point. | ||

Even year ago they were published regularly and did show terran earning falling every year and was already below all other races before end of wol. I did not see any statistic from start of HOTS. No one publish then any more. I don't think this is important, prize pools can vary greatly so it doesn't really represent how well Terran could potentially be doing | ||

Terran has won the least (obviously) in 2013/2014, but it's also very skewed because of sOs (aka $o$). An extra $200k makes Protoss seem like they're doing a lot better than they actually are, even if they are dominating. | ||

Whiny post! Disrespect post!" all come out when the real shouting in the hater brain is saying "Fuck all! This shit makes my race seem imba.." | ||

Protoss is stronger than Terran no doubt One sample size: you and your friend. I'm sure that's statistically significant and I'm sure Protoss OP is the reasonable conclusion from your great experiment. Maybe you guys are naturally better at Protoss than at Terran? Do you really expect all three races to have the same potential for each player? And Scarlett just practiced one build - if she tried to play a macro game she would've been destroyed. Practicing one all-in is quite simple depending on the build, something like a 7gate requires much less practice than immortal/sentry, and 7gate happens to be a pretty easy build so she used it. She could've practiced just 11/11 and used it on a 2-player map, same stuff | ||

You are acting like I say change the game all time and change it a lot! No just tweak things from time to time see how it shakes up the meta. Instead we have a stale meta for Terran stuck doing the same few things in all match ups. | ||
