This is why I mentioned reading comprehension. These weren’t attacks on what Batz said, they were general statements about measuring balance. And Aligulac measuring pro games is just straight up false. There is a ton of data that’s nowhere near pro level.
If you think one of them is wrong maybe explain why?
It has been explained to you by him…but unfortunately it seems you can’t understand. So my conclusion is you lied about having a stats degree and in fact you don’t anything about stats. If that is the case, maybe stop posting like you know **** and show some respect to the OP who DOES in fact know the subject of statistics fairly well. Asking him to explain stuff when it is clearly a lack of knowledge while at the same time pretending to be knowledgeable on your part is just arrogant.
Otherwise it is reading comprehension.
No, he didn’t actually disagree with any of these points. I’m going to stop wasting my time with you.
Really?
Um ok man…it seems he was asking you to explain your stance which you failed to do and continue to challenge with questions.
Except I explained it right here. It’s funny that you talk about statistics and don’t even understand the basics. Like I said, waste of time.
Again you are not listening to my question. I asked you how it could be possible that a race has consistently lower performance when that race is equal in all respects to another race.
You retorted by saying they’re not equal, thus making my point for me.
Are you saying there are zero pro games in Aligulac?
Trying to oversimplify something and pass the simplification for the real thing is a NO NO.
Only scenario when “race is equal in all respects” is true only in three scenarios: ZvZ, TvT and PvP.
You try to hold constant 2-3 variables, but there are 12 in play.
Your whole premise is wrong.
Then you’ve confirmed my conclusion. Protoss is overpowered.
It’s not a victim complex. To compare, it’s like mixing a bunch of colors together and ending up with brown. The colors lost their individuality so I just call the smudge they make brown. Also, I have no problems with people complaining about certain aspects of any race. But if they resort to cursing or spamming emojis, it just so happens that it’s very likely a TCF member wrote that mess. So I automatically assume they are TCF, and it turns out to be pretty accurate.
What do you define as lower performance? Lower representation in a certain league?
No, I’m saying the amount of poor match ups makes aligulac’s margin of error gigantic. Take a look at a typical day of data

TerranicII: presents arguments in a reasoned manner with facts from the game to substantiate the point being made
CollegeWings: hurr emoji spam tcf durr
LOL yeah this is exactly why no one takes you guys seriously
This is how you do it by the way. Here you go: 
Lower win-rate despite equal skill.
Please explain to me why this data is supposed to be bad according to you. “Just look at it” isn’t an argument.
These stats heavily correlate to periods of strengths of races in the game.
Tos had abysmal GM representation at start of LOTV, when Zerg was dominating the game and got even 40% GM at one time… Now we have GM tos having highest representation 2 years consecutively, while it is clearly best race in Masters/GM…
https://www.rankedftw.com/stats/races/1v1/#v=2&r=-2&l=6Look at these curves from 11/14/2018, when Zerg is going down in GM representation, Protoss is instantly going up! Correlations are staggering. And when Zerg is going up, protosses are going down (at the same rate) While if you look at Terran, Terran didn’t have highest GM representation even once since start of LOTV! What are the odds??? You can see that terran is somewhere in middle meh. And how many toses are in GM is proportional how many zerg are in GM… Terran plays very little role in that, also Zerg is by design favored against tos, so it is not suprise these are correlated both times: when protoss, or zerg is dominating ladder!
If you play game on high level and have brain and understand, why some strategies and strong, or why some weak, you will rank up… So you understand game well. If you are in tier 1 masters, you have idea about balance… As you have to play game on high level to understand it! It is possible to understand it even when you not high level, but most people don’t. Also they won’t have idea about skill, because you have to play game to know from experience, if something is OP, or not! It could be just one player is better from watching pro games…
Also even aligulac winrates counts even plats, tos winrates favors over Terran winrates 3 years consecutively by large margin. Balance statistics are relevant only over longer periods, so there is less rng from other factors. If one race is dominating one matchup that long, it probably means something…
You are just wrong about everything aren’t you
A couple of TCF fanatics already tracked me down, on two separate occassions, on my main account on battle.net and learned that I’m a Terran main (lol @ them being so butthurt that they went through all that detective work). If they want to “expose” my main account they are free to do so but they wont because it would make them look dumb for constantly calling me a non-Terran player and a low league player.
By the way, I spent like over half of 2019 saying that it was virtually impossible for Protoss to beat Zerg in the ultra lategame (back when the infested terran still existed) thanks to terran whine
Stay wrong.
I seriously doubt that.
It’s almost certainly an alt account or mixed.
Anyway, credible people don’t have any reason to ever hide their profile.
I was in favor of changes in that match-up too, but it had nothing to do with Terran.
Clearly you’ve never been spammed with death threats from angry forum trolls and had every ladder game you play sniped nor any of your friends PM’d with screenshots. You can be 100% certain that if they found IRL links they’d be emailing your boss and other nasty things too (guess what happened to Idra over a comment he made on teamliquid’s forum).
“I can’t imagine why” is not a valid argument. Privacy is a very important aspect of society and I have ABSOLUTELY ZERO respect for anyone who disagrees.
I’m not surprised. You tend to “doubt” facts a lot
On the contrary, people with credible arguments don’t have to rely on anything other than their arguments. It’s typically those who have no argument that resort to prejudices, tribalism and association fallacies.
Even if i were a Zerg player my arguments would still stand.
Let me guess - you wanted to nerf zerg, when it was already the weakest race
I just ignore threats from others. I do not care what random people on the internet think!
So what’s the issue exactly? Steam sniping is only an issue if you stream in real time. If they are posting or sharing games after the fact you don’t have any reason to care.
People are jerks. In other news, water is wet!
You and everyone else here have as much privacy as they deserve already. The profile name isn’t a person’s real name, and Blizzard won’t disclose real names.
But whenever you decide to make public statements or interact with people in person, in games, or over the internet, you forfeit some of your privacy. People identify you based on your profile, and they remember your actions. I don’t agree that anyone has the right to hide from that.
Zerg was the strongest race at the time and needed nerfs.
