I don’t. This is the forum’s golden standard of balance. They’ve said so vehemently for years. The game is balanced with the exception of PvT, which favores Protoss.
They were using the +/- 5% metric on samples of over 250,000 games. You are trying to say that 13,000 games is too large for a 5% threshold. You’d be right. I agree with that. That however is entirely contrary to what blizzard and the forums have clung to for years. Their metric for balance is satisfied excluding PvT.
Thrasher tells me you and bigturkey are the same person. I can’t say that I am surprised. Your posting styles are identical and you both are obsessed with trolling my threads.
Incredible how Batz’s data analysis told us way in advance about what is now blatantly apparent and what we are now seeing. We are in an era where nobodies like Astrea, Zoun, and Prince are making noise in hardest tournament on the planet. Including over GOAT-tier monsters like Soo and Innovation. Is there even any metric that shows that protoss isnt overpowered?
New shield battery is too strong i guess.
Batz is a beast. Godly analysis that even eclipsed a pro like TY’s anecdotal analysis - TY went from saying lategame TvP is broken in favor of terran, to saying that he doesnt want anything to do with lategame TvP. The analysis front ran even the smartest Terran’s take on the game.
It was so much better without the OP… and notice how the Bersrektard who also has disappeared throughout the time now reappears at THE SAME time. What are you his arbiters?? To exist in this forum only because of baitz - trademark of goba and bserserk… must be the most pathetic thing I see in this sc2 community

Apology accepted, nerd. Time to go back and delete all your trolling, JK see you tomorrow in another rant thread where you beg everyone to look through your sources to find the deliberate misrepresentation.
LOL, no, just because sometimes big apes my style people should not confuse us with each-other.
Two candidates for Big are Flack and to a smaller extent BatZ himself (both BatZ and Big are obsessed with Maguro’s amatorial metrics).
You really like the word nonsense, turkey. I might end up calling you nonsense, if you’re not offended at the idea of being teased.
Anyway, you should’ve provided me the link when I first asked for the source, because trying to avoid it several times made me think there was a reason behind it. And so would’ve you have given it right away I might not have read the original content with as much attention.
The only thing I can say for sure about nonsense is that he’s not what he pretends to be, and that small style oversight a few posts ago is but one more reminder of it. I thought it might be Batz since he carries the exact same themes and knows his rather complex data intimately, but he could be anyone really.
SC2 balance is a constantly evolving phenomenon ; and winrates should be considered as only one of its reflects. As for its interpretation, you’re free to have your own just like any of us do.
Time is just as much an asset than sample size when assessing an evolving phenomenon. What you’re saying is comparable to assuming that using a single but very large picture of the whole earth by satelite would allow you to do a meteorological report for a week. Well, I’m sorry, but even if your sample is very large, if the time component is too short you can say in what direction it was going. What the designers said 10 years ago applied for a single day ; at that time they may have thought using it for more, or thought of different threshold for longer periods, but we have no evidence for both hypothesis.
I don’t remember exactly, but he was losing an argument on the old forums and quoted one of my posts. His quote was off by 1 word which radically changed the meaning of the statement. When I pointed out that the quote was different from my post, he accused me of editing my post after he made the quote. The problem is that the forum software will show a valid quote with different text if the original post was edited after the quote was made. The only way a post could show an invalid quote was if the text of the quote differed from the original post when he submitted the post with the quote in it, which was the case with his post.
That was probably over a year ago at this point. He’s still seething over losing that argument. I think it was in a thread where I posted a video of a protoss with 8 immortals mowing through a roach queen ling army literally twice the size (and fighting on creep, in a choke, into a concave, none the less - blink immortals are bonkers overpowered by the way).
I haven’t seen you in awhile. It’s good to see you. The analysis of PvP elo rankings was pretty telling. Protoss overperform in all non mirrors relative to their mirrors and Elo is an adaptive algorithm that is very quick to adapt to changes in performance, so it makes sense it would pick up on this imbalance long before win-rates would. Now protoss is at 42% in GM across the whole planet, wins the majority of tournaments (excluding premiers where they are only stopped by titans like Serral/Reynor) and have the highest win-rates in all the games played during Premier events.
Despite this, Blizzard has gone off-the-rails insane and buffed tf out of Protoss with shield battery and skytoss buffs and charglot buffs (aka things that encourage the protoss a-move which literally any protoss player can do). I have absolutely no clue why, except that they might be trying to buff foreign Protoss to win Premier events, which is a horrible idea because the problem isn’t a balance problem (it’s a skill representation problem at the absolute highest levels aggravated by the fact that the region lock bans the world’s best protoss from the majority of premier events). When you buff protoss to win premier events from a skill deficit, they start dominating literally everything else (surprise!).
