Proof protoss is not underpowered

https://www.rankedftw.com/stats/races/1v1/#v=2&r=-2&l=-2

Gm protoss population: 35% world !!! Highest in kr from all regions 35.6% !!! So if you are not pro you can’t complain you lose PvZ, it was like that years, except one period zerg was dominating even with 44% gm representation… Protoss gets third almost at the same time as zerg…

For people who think protoss is bad vs terran, it is the opposite ! Sample of 1k games !!! PvT 53%… Protoss gets fully saturated third, when terrans started. Than he has 6 bases vs 3-4. If he trades constantly terran never even maxes on ghost/lib…

I love how you deleted the first thread after I mentioned PvZ exists.

Plus, balance isn’t based around GM representation. It’s based on a multitude of factors

So what round of protoss nerfs do you suggest next?

They won’t be happy until Blizzard give them a 100 % freewin at the start of the game

Fun Fact: If you go to aligulac. com home page, you will see that none of the top 10 players are Protoss.

Let me play my first games of the season now, so I can add further validity to the Toss OP metric. I might not even stop there. I might also train for pro tournaments. Oh, that’s right… Protoss DOESN’T EXIST in the pro scene.

But, OP told me the arbitrary number of 200 is the real metric that matters. A metric that includes an overwhelming majority of players who aren’t pro. Casual players still, if anything.

Until they start paying all GM players a salary or anything… GM stands for garbage man. Get that trash out of here OP.

I think Protoss is absolutely fine in PvT but in PvZ Protoss is lacking by a lot. Against Terran, people need to learn abusing the good stuff like Disruptor, Colossi and Phoenix.

If you check the link op provided instead of repeating what someone once said and never bothered to check yourself you see zest at number 10.

And warp prism, by god that thing is just insane.

Imagine winning a game just because you got a single drop into opponent base that can make an army on top of terran production so you barely even risk losing units on the way in.

If you can read, you wouldn’t make that statement. The OP link is on that single day where Zest jump to that position. The official one posted on the front page(which is the link that I talked about) is the stable version where they properly preview and finalized. If you jump to today, Zest is currently at 13th.
And even if we make it in your favor and say it is true that Zest is rank 9, that would mean 1 single Pro Protoss in the top 10 where T and Z occupied the rest.

If Protoss is fine…why is this thread for in the first place?

I’ve never seem a thread trying to prove that red isnt red, or blue isnt blue yet.

So… in fact this thread itself just proves the opposite -> Protoss is underpowered!

The truth is Protoss does not exist anymore and is therefore, in particular, not underpowered.

Fun fact, top pros and 99.9% other player base is different thing. Protoss is dominating even in gm, but on top level, it sucks vs zerg hard. You just go ravager/bane which holds every all in and beats even maxed t3 protoss army and swarmhosts, protoss has nothing to deny nyduses. Protoss just slowly lose to repeated waves of locusts doing eco dmg…

Because idiots like you saying protoss is underpowered while it is not…

Say what you want facts are facts. Protoss eco is ridiculous. Protoss has highest representation in gm years. If you click on any terran gm, he will have even -20% winrate in TvP than in other matchups. It was like that now 3 years, most of the time.

In what drug fueled vision are you talking about?

Ok so why i always check rankedftw protoss population is highest in gm ??? It was like that since 3 years most of the times. Are you completely stupid ? You can open any terran stream demuslim, dragon, innovation. It is same protoss has 4rd when terran is barely on 3 base, than protoss is on 6 bases vs 3-4 and all say same thing, that terran sucks against protoss…

What are you trying to do. Protoss has most gm representation years, yet you trying to somehow claim, that protoss sucks in gm. You are obviously who is drug fueled…
Wow protoss so bad only 53% winrates against terran, wow 35% + representation in gm, protoss so bad. I can’t have 100% winrate when i f2 my chargelots t storm reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hey little guy. If you can tell me who the first placed barcode terran (7,1k mmr) on eu is aswell as who Chatmarauder, Chatmarine and (Terran)DieMauer are and if you can tell me where Serral is on the eu list then you will get a cookie from me. Then you might aswell know why it isnt the best idea to look at gm percantages.
