Is it worth it? We all know SC2 is kinda esport so the balance > fun is a “good way” but the truth is zerg is not balanced and not fun to play. Even if it’s balanced at highest level of play (which I doubt) we still could make some changes to zerg race which would increase the zerg difficulty to play meanwhile the power would stay the same. Simplest example going into my mind now would be: revert the zerg larvas queue (so zerg players can’t simply queue their larvas and then forget about them). Wouldn’t change ANYTHING in the pro scene but could put some zerg players where they really belong in the ranked games.

I’d take some fun things over balance, just don’t ruin my race while you’re at it
yes. because playing against toss as zerg or terran is not fun.
This is a myth and it keeps being repeated because no one bothers to check it themselves. The ONLY league where there are more zerg players than terran players is diamond, and it’s by less than 2k players (a 3% difference). In literally every other league from bronze to gm, there are more terrans than zergs.
Go check for yourself on rankedftw. Click stats, then races. I would post the entire table or a direct link if I could but blizzard thinks its smart to isolate their forums from the rest of the world for some reason.

Are you sure about that? If we look server per server we get on eu and na very similar results that differs very much from the kr server. the kr server was always something special because surprise surprise kr got the longest sc1/sc2 tradition that differs very much from eu/na. in na and eu zerg got the lead by far, even longtermwise. only that now terran got the lead in masters on na.
BUT we can for sure say that protoss is a gimmicky race that no one wants to play at platinum or higher because it sucks hard.
Right now we neither have balance nor fun, StarCraft 2 is in a very dark spot right now.
Zerg greed is a serious, serious issue that’s ruining the game. They just can’t be punished for mass droning adequately and StarCraft 2 is literally a Zerg’s game to lose because of it.
Then we have these obnoxious low skill Terran allins. Like seriously, they require almost no brain power, just muscle memory and are extremely effective. But that’s what happens when you give a race TONS of siege units and those siege units then get deployed outside the opponent’s base. That turns the defender’s advantage Terran has into offensive power…and it’s too much.
Then finally we have Protoss; the race the balance team doesn’t know wtf to do with.
Arg. I could rant but what’s the point? The balance team isn’t going to change, they’re going to continue screwing up like they always do because they got sloppy and complacent after their initial success when DK was replaced.

I really wonder on which statistics all this pathetic zerg whine is based on.
Oh right, you dont have one. Your whole whine revolves around one fact - you suck.
Dude, arent you tired with that trolling? Like really…
Dude, honestly? It’s not 2019 any more. The meta shifted dramatically… and in OUR favor.
