I am pretty sure that everyone who wants to win is switching to protoss it’s easier and if you are equal skill to your opponents in PvZ PvT you will never lose. The race is over loaded the only competitive match up would be PVP you can either play the best race or be beaten by it, If they patch the prism range and chargelot damage theres still a good chance we see a unbalanced high number of PvP 8/10 players in the finals of tournaments , It’s going to be all PVP in every event, no one is going to want to watch it maybe try nerfing the race is the only obvious solution

Did you read the proposed balance patch at all? Protoss is likely to get some heavy nerfs in the upcoming patch.

Protoss is the most cucked race out of the 3
Every time Protoss players find away to make do with what they have, Blizzard cucks them into the ground
I don’t know why anyone plays protoss tbh

Oh is that why it’s by far the least played race. Couldn’t have guessed.

Yep problem is economy, protoss used to have to make decision in hots, fast third or production and upgrades, now he can take third with no risk and by the time your attack hits he will have +30 units than you with better tech and upgrades. It is complete horsesh1t and if protoss decides to go phoenix with colossi, you can’t go raven and you f2cked…

Then explain to me, why maru or serral have better win rates in their non-mirror matchups?
Player preference matter more than balance. Strong event contenders usually have mirror matchup their weakest because the chance to face a different race opponent is much greater, therefore having strength against a different race instead of mirror matchup is a big advantage. Players who are better at mirror matchup usually get eliminated early. This is the current state of the pro scene.

Hmm, Protoss is OP and never lose to other races, so that’s why Zergs or Maru win every tournament. Makes sense.

Is this is why zerg and terrans always win tournaments and there is more zerg and terran in GM and masters then protoss. Nerf protoss.

Wasnt GM like 40% Protoss? How is that least played race
2 Likes
yes. there were 40% toss in gm for NA on 11.07. right now its 33% zerg 32% toss and 31%. as you can see the percantage of gm can vary very much. but gm is not the entire population. on whole NA there are 28% zerg players 29% toss players and 32% terran players (rest random).that means no, protoss is not the least played race in general BUT if you look at the higher leagues (masters and diamond) you will see that toss is underperforming very much: 26% in diamond and 28% in masters, while zerg dominates: 35% in diamond 34% in masters…
the thing is when it comes to balance ppl tend to only focus on higher leagues. where everybody basically plays zerg and no one plays protoss. thats why they say no one plays protoss

protoss is certainly more chill to play since you can win most games with a 2 base all in
but it doesnt have the op units terran has. a protoss can be scouted, readed, prepared. a terran player is gonna defeat you no matter what because his units are just much stronger than yours (unless you vastly outplay him in every way)

I think the game is fairly well balanced. Each race has a mechanic that seems a bit overpowered to me - nydus, warp prism, and teleporting bc.
They are trying to make the game as fair as possible. This is why they are tweaking warp prisms and infested terrans, and buffing EMP.
I do not really understand the obsession with balance some people seem to have. If winning is crucial, why not switch to the “op race”?

Ammount of Zerg whine atm is kinda disgusting. Please stop already.
People should learn to “call a spade a spade”, hiding behind euphemism like this just denotes hypocrisy and bad-faith.
Nerffing something should not be called “tweaking” or “changing” - courtesy of MoronTeam.
Unless making Medevac more expensive and slower would be qualified as “tweaking” from hypocrite-terrans…
I would love to see them foam at the mouth if one of their important units were nerffed and Protoss/Zerg would give them consolation with BS like:…don’t cry terrans: it’s just a tweak!
Those disgusting hypocrites have…weaponized even the language.

wow man, protoss is so easy to play
i playes vs this protoss guy who went for double stargate mass phoenix, fast second and fast third base
he was supply blocked 3 minutes and 10 seconds out of the 9 minute game, and while i, the zerg player being harassed by mass phoenix, got supply blocked for 50 seconds and that’s because he killed a few of my overlords
this is the skill level difference you see between zerg and protoss players. it’s just that they are carried by their much easier race.
Which is why Protoss is winning all the tournaments and has the highest win rates and representation in high level play…
Oh wait… it isn’t.
/s
No it isn’t. Worldwide, Zerg is actually the least played race, and Terran is the most played. Zerg has the highest representation in high level play though.
Protoss currently has the highest GM representation at ~34%, but relative to total player population, it’s comparable to Zerg’s ~32%, and Protoss has the lowest representation in masters and diamond by more significant margins.

Protoss having supply blocked mid game is kind of a build thing, you want to spend your minerals on gateways instead and start adding pylons when the gateways are transforming, so that you can warp in waves of units at the best timing. That supply block would actually make sense. Zerg and terran unit production methods have nothing comparable to mass warpgates.
If the protoss mass robo/stargate units, supply block would be bad because additional production cost gas that you don’t want to keep these buildings idle.

Wow, that escalated quickly… I said I thought the game was overall fairly well balanced, and that the design team is doing it’s best to make changes to ensure that it is as fair as possible.
Blizzard is a company. It is obviously in their interest to make the game balanced, so that the games are exciting and hard to predict. Fewer people would play or watch an unbalanced game.
I mostly just watch gsl and wcs, and the consensus of many pros, commentators, and the balance team seems to be the prism and infestor are a little too strong. Obviously they are being nerfed as a result.
I said “tweak” because I did not think the changes had been finalized for protoss. It was not meant to imply they were making protoss stronger in any way.
Like Blizzard, as a spectator, I too only want to see close, exciting, hard to predict games. I don’t really get your “disgusting hypocrite” allegation, but this is the Internet, so whatever.
Terran has also been nerfed in the past as needed, eg anti-armor missile.
