EPTYes, terran balls are very strong and according to you, OP. But I don't think that running straight into a ball of siege tanks and stimmed marines, then rage quitting is a good way to judge fairness in a game.
That being said, Idra fighting.

That being said, Idra fighting. hes allowed to have a bad day if thats what it was, and if he had thought he lost the game and dropped his army then left then thats okay too, hes one of the best zergs in the world and well... thats it. This happens to a lot of players, your just seeing it on the stream. EDIT: btw i didnt watch the stream this time | ||

People arent being rewarded for skill, because why have skill when you can not know how to play the game and still win with some bullshit build. Hopefully thatll change, oh well. Cant wait for the next stream. again, its really awesome. liking your taste in music as well. | ||

That being said I really am looking forward to your stream :> Btw, you (IdrA) obviously listen to rap, to shitty rap to be accurate (new school is just not good..), you may wanna check out some of the real rap out there: non phixion, wu tang clan, immortal technique, busta rhymes and so on, I think you'd like it. | ||

But as you said, shitty builds are way too viable, I don't think it's gonna get much better till HotS, because it's more of a design issue than a balance issue, you cannot make this game fair by nerfing or buffing some units.

Yeah I agree to some extent here, however I still think it's more of a balance issue than a design one. That roach buff didn't take a lot of effort to implement and made Zerg a lot better, so hopefully if they add in a few more things like that, Zerg will become more viable. But yeah, in terms of the units T and P have compared to Z it's unfair, and something needs to be done to bring Z on the same level. | ||

You mentioned in an interview towards the end of beta that Protoss would adopt am Archon, Immortal, Templar, Zealot army vs Zerg do you still think this army will see the light of day or are will Protoss never stop hiding behind Sentry Force Fields and 9 range colossus? Merry Christmas and good luck in the future. ZERG SUCKING!!! | ||

1. IdrA is wrong and zerg is balanced fine right now. 2. IdrA is right and zerg is still too weak, in which case all zergs including him, leenock, nestea, and fruit will have sub-par results. #1 would imply that idra is either bad or doesn't practice enough. Both of these have proven to be false over the years since he is still the best white player by results. I find #2 to be more true right now considering how easy even the best zergs are losing to all ins. #2 leads to balance changes, | ||
