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 | ||

If 43% WR, Scarlet almost 4-0ing sOs with BS allins isn't enough of an indicator for you, then i don't know what whould be. Just listen to the arguments: Protoss have "super strong wall" and "sentries", are we in 2010?, ravagers anyone? "We cant drop with tier1 tech" - did you actually know the other races get access to drop at tier2? and they cant just park ovies and lings at the cliff right before evo finishes. Pathetic. The only one whining and "not acknowledging" facts here is you. PvZ is 43%, PvT is 49%. In any case, "lets nerf the protoss that is getting destroyed by zerg, because terran is having hard time vs protoss" logic is awesome. " Scarlet almost 4-0ing sOs with BS allins isn't enough of an indicator for you, then i don't know what whould be" Hahahaha, what a failed argument. Isn't it how sOs wins most of his games? With BS allins and cheeses? | ||

I mean, the simple fact that this is what we've come down to.. Comparing foreigners with koreans just because foreign zergs often steamrolls on korean protoss players and we think it's normal.. (And yes korean protoss only because the winrate of Foreign zergs vs Korean terrans or zergs must be something like 1 victory out of 10 matches).. This, by itself, shows there's something wrong with the matchup. I mean no disrespect to foreign zerg players, but they are still incapable of breaking korean Terrans or Zergs on a regular basis, like they are capable with the korean Protoss. PvZ has been at a ridiculously low level (43-45% for months, and overall below 50% for at least a two-digit number of months) and yet most of the whine in this thread is coming from Zergs thinking Protoss should be nerfed.. I'm lost beyond words at this point. | ||

All I tasted were toss balance whine for the last year before now. Quit acting like immortal sentrie archon doesn't smash ravagers roach styles. Toss cry so hard about their options and early game so they can play greedy. But terran fall to the way side. Zerg has to sit bsck and play defensivley anf you can do what you want.You want fast probes AND upgrades and your fucking shield batteries for your defensive capabilities. Somehow you find that balanced it's fine as long as everything gets needed around you.. Chronoboost with your multiple openings and your upgrades are redonk. No one has fucking refuted that at all with my posts. You guys just want to play greedy and cry when it doesn't happen. That's poor play. | ||

Am i the only one with this? In return i'd lower hallucination energy a lot. SoO didn't lose because of balance I don't think that was the topic in contention. | ||

Didn't have to take drops to lair for toss to be able to defend. | ||

If I'm not mistaken, the duration was already halved. | ||

SoO isn't generally one for gimmicks, people saying he lost because of that are not well informed. User was warned for multi-posting. | ||

Yeah sure, and you also forget to mention that in that very same tournament, Serral previously ended Zest and Trap (As well as Neeb even tho he's not korean but undoubtedly the best foreign protoss) Let's also forget that later in WESG Serral also took down Classic 3-1, but as soon as he ran into a Terran (Maru) he got stomped 3-0. I mean come on, as good as Serral is, he takes down korean protosses way more than korean terrans or zergs. Scarlett ? Same. Elazer ? Same. Again, no disrespect to any of them, but they'd not be as strong as they are today if not for how ridiculous the PvZ matchup is. | ||

Defensively yeah, still really really strong mass drops with roach hydra are more of mid late game to delay toss till your hive starts kicking in. But I am not really complaining about mid late game just early to mid. There were other changes that could be implemented instead of taking drops away to lair. To be frank I am not sure what You'd like to have in PvZ matchup anymore. You don't have to all-in - There are plenty zerg comps that work in mid game which I listed in previous post and as soon as Protoss goes for his 3rd base (and go past his imba wall) You can start to apply pressure. This is how most of Serral games looked like. He is constatly attacking from multiple angles with hydra/bane/ling comps later going into drops and lurkers which even got upgrade that prolongs their usage. You can stay on this comp for a veeeeery long time without teching to bl - you just have to apply pressure from the start and trade constantly. Yes, it is hard to deal dmg to protoss which stays on 2base behind his wall without going all-in as zerg however as soon as he starts his 3rd there is a LOT you can do to deal dmg. If this is what You are complaining about ("deal dmg to protoss which stays on 2base") then we can start this discussion why it is designed like that. | ||

Zest is simply far from his top form. Classic was devastated because he didn't make the finals at wesg. You could notice he was giving up mentally vs Serral and it has nothing to do with balance. Also it's obvious that foreign Zergs are better against Toss. Foreign scene has no Terrans similar to alive,Inno,Maru,TY. The only decent T is Special, while foreign scene has much more good Protosses and Zergs. | ||
