I dunno but i remember seeing somewhere the head of blizzard (some fat guy with a moustache) and he went to korea or something to check out the race balance and promised a 1.10 patch? I hope this is true. Terran too strong

I'd heard there will be a bugfix patch for the flying drone/templar but nothing about balance...

terran isnt strong- its flexible, while toss is hard as ice at -200 and thats why its easy to break toss. Something has to be done to make toss more elastic.

Anyone that says Terran is too strong - isn't the solution simple then? Just switch to Terran. Don't whine.

Anyone that says Zerg is too strong - isn't the solution simple then? Just switch to Zerg. Don't whine.

Anyone that says Protoss is too strong - isn't the solution simple then? Just switch to Protoss. Don't whine.

Thanks, it gets annoying.

Yeah but the game's about variety VultureBoy. Which race you pick shouldn't depend on the match-up you're playing and a couple of unit modifications would be quite welcome as far as I'm concerned. The game would have even more depth if all the units were economically viable and no match-ups leave one race with an edge which makes it harder work for players with the slightly weaker race. Also I think the game has been around for long enough in it's current state for trends in certain match-ups to speak for themselves. Just think about what people are saying. Don't whine. Thx!

vulture boy, maybe for some of us its not about winning. Maybe some of us dont feel like jumping on the bandwagon just b/c it seems to have an advantage. Perhaps somewhere out there, a few among us have a bit more depth in this game than that. Then again, maybe not

First of all, we are not at the level to complain about racial imballances... why? because we can keep getting better. We have lots of room for improvement. On the other hand, top players like Boxer, Reach and Yellow are the ones who should be complaining. So if they aren't, then it's just YOUR SKILL. Usually if you are better than a player, you will beat him regardless of the match up.

Doesn't the replay bug piss you off? When somebody else leaves a replay on b.net that i created, it says: Klogon has left the game. That's a bug that should be fixed.

I can't belive people are still fighting about this. Don't you people get that it's well balanced? If i wasn't any balanced all people would use the same race, and people wouldn't argue about what race that is best......

It's well balanced and there is no need to make another patch. If there should come a new patch there should be a new function, with something like microphone support or something simillar to that. ^^ V

They said it was coming soon a long time ago. I expect it 'soon' too.

Ermmmmm, kinda missing the point there aren't you Klogon? The top players are in the public eye. If they say anything about racial imbalances they will lose popularity faster than you can say "bad manner". There is also no reason for terran players to complain (although I would like to see ghost's combat abilities improved), or zerg really (although I would like to see queens powered up a little bit). That leaves a very small minority of players who could complain or who might just lose gracefully rather than look like a complete lamer who makes excuses for their poor play. No-one is saying that any match-up is unwinnable that would be stupid. In short, it does make a difference even at our level as some match-ups require more skill on behalf of one of the races in order to make the match-up exactly even. Or did you miss the whole point of balancing the game at all?

queens are more than powerful enough, people are just too stupid to make them. (and I think stupid is appropriate as using them pays off way more than the micro invested costed.

No, just no. This is wrong on so many levels, I won't even elaborate.

LumberJack, I 100% disagre with what you said - don't fool yourself - everyone is playing to win.. if you weren't, you'd make 9 barracks and just have 'fun' - fun IS winning, and the process of learning, etc. Just don't lie and pretend that everyone is playing sc just for pure 'fun'.

Also, a few of you decided to whine anyhow - well have fun. This is the most annoying thing when I hear "Oh, Protoss is too weak wah wah wah" or terran is too strong or whatever, I'm so god damn sick of it! Then Reach wins ongamenet and you all get quiet.. well it will NEVER EVER EVER get more fair than it is now, so stop whining! Or go play warcraft 3 or something.

Asking Boxer,Yellow, and Reach for advice isnt a great idea, these guys play this game for money, So they will tell you pump their race whether it is imbalanced or not.

Everyone has a MU they have problems with, this just means you have problems with the MU not because of a racial imbalance. Some people are so reluctant to drop their losing habits they are happier stating there is a race imbalance.
If cannon rush fails this doesnt make PvZ imbalanced, please for the love of god grow a pair and play the game instead of trying to win it with a gay rush every single time.

I'll agree to disagree on that one drone

. I find they are usable sometimes but unless you are going for hive tech it is not worth buildings queen's nest just for queens (and if you are building hive tech you likely have an advantage anyways).
