I have always played with unit Y, and frankly I am no good with unit X, and unit Y is much cooler and makes for more fun games than unit X anyway. They really need to buff Y a lot! Player A, B and C have always used mainly unit Y, and they have dropped out of the scene now almost, while players S, T and U are completely skilless newbs that just abuse unit X, making for boring games. Especially player T is such a patch-X. 
Imo, you could get the current player community to play pong, and they'd complain that left side was OP when they lost.

In BW most of the good players I knew played random about 80% of the time only picking for tournaments or requested specific matchups.
The difference I see is incredible in terms of how little the average SC2 player knows about their non main races.

that's the risk you take when you want to sit around playing computer games for a living At least it's a better use of time than shitposting i like you, scarlett, and i like gaming, and i like gamers. but people have a responsibility to know ahead of time what the risk/rewards of committing fulltime to a career are. i also love art and artists, but if you choose to be a fulltime artist instead of looking for a stable career then there's a decent chance you're not going to have a lot of stability or financial success maybe i worded my post in a way that seemed insulting  i didn't mean it that way, and if it came off as such i apologize. it was a commentary on the OP's reasoning about blizzard "messing with people's livelihoods" through balance opinions, not an invective against esports Show nested quote +On July 03 2014 16:39 Nirel wrote:On July 03 2014 16:33 Acer.Scarlett` wrote:On July 03 2014 16:29 Waise wrote: if people's livelihoods depend on esports it's their own fault for thinking esports is a viable career path

Just another jellybean.
I say good luck to pro gamers, they can have some years doing something they love and still come out of the scene at a reasonable age to catch up on a chosen career path or education. Unless someone is putting off the chance to study at Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard or a once in a lifetime business opportunity then going into pro gaming for a couple of years really does not sound like a horrible idea at all.
Back on topic... I really would hate your idea OP, from a personal point of view having to play any mirror apart from TvT would be a depressing thought. I would probably just leave every PvP and ZvZ or just outright quit the game.
