Protoss will have around 30-40% winrate against terran and probably single digit against zerg. The glory days of starcraft are over.


30-40% is really yelling "worst update ever". It will definately not be that bad. No one will take you seriously when you are claiming things the whole scene knows not to be true. From bronze to GM.


PvZ is already at 41% and there is a toss nerf so it can only go lower.


As long as you can win premier tournaments by beating zergs 4-1 in the finals it's all good, right?


It was really well played by the protoss obviously and bad by the zerg. There is nothing more to it.


Bly played bad? Haha.

But I'm glad you've found the solution for yourself: start playing well.

Yes it can. But claiming single digits is just moronic.

And alligulac balance is not the end all stats of truth. Just so you know.

We need the game to be balance at the top level. Not in gold league.

I don't understand why does it say that PO lasts for 14 sec when you play the map, but in these changes it says 15 to 20? Neither of which seem to be true

The games can be of vastly different quality. It includes games from actual pro level players against amateurs and semi-pros aswell, which screws up all the numbers for things like qualifiers and even Dreamhacks.

Who cares about EU and NA scores? The game should be balanced only for GSL, SSL and Proleague - you know, actual top level Starcraft.

Well it doesn't say that. We don't know what data they are using. Other than top ladder. We don't know if this means diamond+ or top 20 GM.

You can't rely on stats when you don't know what pool of matches the stats are coming from. It's not a valid argument. And it wouldn't be anywhere.

Last I checked, Protoss players in GSL were thanking David Kim and Korean coaches were demanding nerfs. So it looks like top level starcraft agrees with this patch.

Weird, numbers are screwed in zerg's favour every single season

Aligulac is based on tournament games only, for the 'ranking' page at least. Dunno about the 'balance report' charts.

I recommend you click the link I provided or provide me some links that show Protoss with a winning percentage.

PvZ, in terms of winrate, is in the worst place it has ever been in. Neither race has ever been favored as much as Zerg is right now. Terran is favored in PvT, in terms of winrate. I know that is hard to understand given what Seed said and the what Terrans are saying, but the facts speak clearly, Terran wins more often against Protoss than vice versa.

So I don't know what you are talking about. Ptitdrogo pulled a Fruitdealer.


In korea protosses are really extremely dominant. Korea is miles ahead of the metagame and protoss is such a dominant force there. The fact that you decide to add in non-korean statistics doesn't mean that protoss isn't in an incredible spot right now

I don't know why anyone is surprised, the game is only ever balanced at the pro scene while the lower divisions cop the pineapple.

Best patch ever!

PvT needed it a lot, just look at TY x Patience. The lesser player wins if and only if he adept rushes.

PvZ will be hard indeed, but other solutions are needed. PO is boring. The game is not supposed to symmetric. Protoss should be stronger than zerg on less bases, but have trouble expanding as much. Perhaps roach/ravager should be nerfed, not protoss buffed.

Don't go play LoL or whatever... The balance won't be changed in two months, you should try and figure out how to win under the new circumstances (it's kind of the point of the game really).

TY won that game and he is the terran...don't know what you are talking about and Patience is the rank 1 on Korean GM ladder so he should be a decent enough player.
