This ppp troll does not understand mathematic… winrate of ladder is every game. Can not be cherry picked!
Why: you have legistaled that BatZ can be always right or always wrong? In your thick skull it is categorically impossible to be right and wrong in different times and different circumstances?
He is right… in both scenario… your just cannot accept it.
Because they’re CONTRADICTORY POSITIONS! He can’t say the exact same thing about Protoss, that I said of Zerg, and be correct, when I was incorrect.

Pro have same result exactly… as the ladder.
It’s not every game, it’s every game in Diamond and above, can you read?
And mathematic say it is only spot. Which will show negative winrate for race. That is underpowered. Because lower league have flood of master players. Demoted by balance. Which offset balance affect on winrate…
Plz use brian…
Dude, no one with an IQ above their shoe size could read this.
Should be noted that the win rates for every league here are within ~1.5%. It’s not really indicative of wild imbalance.
Zerg is the least represented race on the whole by a pretty large margin, at ~26.5%, compared to ~31% for P, and ~34% for T. Comparing representation in each league to total representation, Zerg is not underrepresented in any of the higher leagues except GM.
Sure, Protoss is strong right now on ladder.
Zerg has historically had the best performance on ladder - The majority of HoTS/WoL, and much of LoTV, has had ladder balance favoring Zerg in a similar way to how it does Protoss now.

You don’t have any statistics to actually back that up. And the problem with Protoss isn’t their overall representation, it’s how much it’s increased after every patch. You can those increases from diamond and higher.

1.5% is what imbalance matchmaker was not able to cover up. Actually number probably 10%+. Ppp are bird brians… matchmaker demoted many zerg. And those strong enough to stay have 1.5%… use your brian pls…
This has been clear for anyone that plays the game and doesnt just post here. I wouldn’t say it is such a difference in TvZ, as it could go either way but this trend has been for years.
And they had to fix it, did nothing to fix that

There are a few sources that have such data, including Races - 1v1 Stats - Ranked FTW - StarCraft II Ladder Rankings
That source in particular is clunky to read though because you have to hover over a given time period to see the distribution and change the “league” being shown to get the statistics for each league.

Protoss is casual race… sc2 is welfare system for players of slow nervous system… transfers of wins from better players to poor ppp. Who cry all day on forums for help of blizzard!

Three very simple reasons.

As the barcode explained, a normal distribution that is negatively skewed will show a positive win-rate below the mean skill level, which starts at approximately platinum league. This is due to the pressure put on players of an underpowered race, causing a skill representation skew. Below the mean of the skill distribution is where the skill representation skew outweighs the racial advantage skew, creating a higher win-rate for the underpowered race. Put simply, since Zergs are being demoted en masse from Masters → Diamond → Platinum → etc, Zergs in platinum and below are expected to have a higher win-rate from being higher skilled than the Zergs who are typically in those leagues.
-
The lower and lower you go on the skill representation and the more clouded the data becomes with noise, since game design has an exponentially lesser impact on the outcome of games than the absolutely colossal mistakes that low ranked players tend to make (and mistakes tend to be random hence the noise).
-
Even if the results differed in lower leagues in a significant way, it in no way invalidates the fact that Zerg is undeniably disadvantaged in Diamond, Masters and GM across the whole planet. Collectively the sheer number of players and sheer number of games means this data would be pass even the most ridiculous confidence tests. The odds that this is just a fluke is effectively 0.0%

That’s blatantly false. The ladder’s matchmaker will adjust your ranking to equalize your win-rate. This means that the +/- 1.5% is the portion the matchmaker has not yet equalized meaning the imbalance is so absolutely monstrous that the matchmaker has not been able to equalize win-rates even after mass-demoting dozens of Zerg GMs, hundreds of Zerg masters, and thousands of zerg Diamond players.

That might make sense if they weren’t so ridiculously overrepresented within those higher leagues.
Point blank, you picked a point at which you could “prove” Zerg was underpowered and then assigned a B.S. subjective reason, with zero evidence, for why they might do well up until that point. Just like you always did.
Things are actually way worse for Zerg. There are concerns a normal player should have. But your blatant misrepresentation of facts isn’t the answer.
