Let's tone down the vitriol here just a bit. It's okay to have some heated discussion about balance (especially in this kind of thread), but I fear you guys might start crossing some lines soon. - Wax |

Oberlord drop nerf was live yesterday. I watched some GM Protoss streams. Guess what. They still open Stargate, shot on other openings, because they play greedy as hell as they used to. But this time there is nothing Zerg can do to punish that. GG Protoss. Once again yours tactic of whine worked. You make that claim based on watching GM players 1 day after that patch? LOL. Most players just copy their builds from the Korean and EU pros. If they are still opening stargate every game in a month, then yeah, the change failed to increase Protoss build diversity. That wouldn't necessarily make the change a failure though if it brings PvZ winrates closer to balanced. Also, how are Protoss playing greedy on any map without a pocket 3rd and not vulnerable to Zerg punishing that? Let be honest "more diversity" just mean drop dt/archons again, storm drops and more chargelots all-in while Zerg will be stuck into a passive and boring game of drone like during the past 8 years. If you're not a fan of playing defensive and reactive, Zerg is not for you. Without fundamental changes to the vs. Zerg matchups, Zerg cannot be allowed to play either defensive or aggressive and have a balanced game. You can do literally whatever you want below GM progamer level I think you underestimate how often diamond players cheese, you basically have to play the meta at least to some level. You have to play the meta in Diamond league if you are at Diamond-level skill. Any progamer can do whatever the fuck they want in Diamond and still win, because they have the sheer mechanics to overpower whatever disadvantage they play at
There's no "meta" if neither you nor your opponent know how to play the game.
As long as you have a sound gameplan, it doesn't really matter your BO or strategy is sub-optimal since 90% of time your experience doing it much outweighs the experience your opponent has had dealing with it.
Saying that Zerg can't be played aggressively is particularly funny as half the Zergs on ladder all-in on 50 or less drones every game.

Third game soO vs Stats- Protoss everytime opens with Stargate. What a shocker. Seems to me that Droperlord nerf really opened wide scale of openings for Protoss. XDDD what a joke.

Considering they had 2 weeks to prepare and the patch was live 3 days before the match, it's crazy that Stats didn't wait for the last 2 days to prepare all his builds for a GSL Semifinals match against soO, i mean, WHAT A SHOCKER.
You're being ridiculous, just stop..

What a shocker- Protoss won with ballshit builds once again.

Nevermind that zerg has won 5 out of 6 of the last major tournaments and still has a player in this gsl.....The world's best lotv protoss beat the third best lotv zerg 4-3 and it's ballshit.
Cause anything less than a zvz finals means toss is imba.

How much does the bracket luck affect this?
I mean - imagine the top TvZ player being on the side with a top PvT player. If such player gets good bye and then this PvT beast loses against the Zerg in the finals, can we blame balance or bracket luck?
I'm not saying the game is perfectly balanced, but making accusation based on the tournament winners is not fair IMO. Player form changes, player favorite MU changes too. Look at Maru, he can beat top Zergs but in the past got ass kicked by much worse Terrans as his TvT was shitty.

I think it's high time that Zealot charge upgrade cost returns to 200/200.

You cannot talk about balance without talking about racial distribution. The two are tied so closely together that they are dependant on each other.

I'm laughing my a** off, seeing already people asking for zealot nerfs.
So, because soO teched directly from 3 queens and 8 zerglings to hydralisks 2x in a row without scouting the push, it should be nerfed ?
Keep going at it, that's the spirit !

He won the supertournament which isn't the real GSL.
GSL lasts 5 months, has around 150k casprize, while the supertournament is just a small event that last 4 days and has a 25k cashprize.

I'm not agreeing with LTCM in any way because i'm not fond of saying
"X race is imba because they won X out of the last X tournaments"
but just to answer that point, how does the fact that a race didn't win a particular tournament changes the fact that zerg won 5 out of the last 6 major tournaments ?
It's like saying "Yes Protoss won 19 out of the last 20 tournaments but they never won WESG so Protoss is fine" or "Only Terrans have won WESG so Terran is certainly broken".
If you're aiming to convince people of something, that's not the way to do it.

Who said GSL is the Everest of SC2 tournaments ?
GSL is supposedly harder than Blizzcon because it has only koreans.
But Blizzcon is harder to win because there's only 1 per year vs. 3 GSL.
This is just your personal opinion / just fits your agenda in this case to defend your race.
But Like I said before, not an argument.

Everest is the highest mountain however it is not the hardest. Some mountains are significantly more dangerous.
