OMG, this whineterran should undergo the mandatory Goba Academy Introductory Course.
This whineterran is the typical ignoramus that needs urgent schooling.
I played WoW since BWL and this is my Blizzard account. I briefly played SC2 back in Wings of Liberty and since got back into the game pretty heavily since the start of the pandemic. I only even more recently decided to venture to the forums. I read some items looking for interesting conversation about the game only to find more whining that any WoW forum.
Being a fan of evidence, I decided to lay out why there is precious little in support of Protoss being unbalanced other than people’s emotional responses to their gimmicky set up. We all get it. Losing to DTs because you didn’t build detection sucks. Cannon rushes ruin your vibes and your builds, proxy voidrays are the biggest slap in the face cheese since the invention of cannon rushing.
We get it, the race has some gimmicks that while not unbalanced FEEL bad when you lose to them. However, no matter how strong your feelings are the facts remain that protoss isn’t op, has never been op and has not been leading in win % among the players that actually know how to play the game well enough for balance to matter, since at LEAST 2015.
So meh, I said my piece on here on the balance, it won’t change anyone’s feelings, and I only decided to post again here because I was referenced personally.
As for my name, a similar angle for its reasoning would be something like: GingerTaurus or somesuch. I am pale and was born in May. Thus WhiteBull. With your name MindSpirit did you likewise forget to include the ‘less’ in yours? 
You do have a stellar post count though, so clearly you’ve been engaged with the community for quite some time, so that’s pretty cool to see.

This forum needs posters like this that bring fresh air into the asphyxiating atmosphere of indiscriminate Zerg/Terran whine.
Here we have the post of one honest, impartial good poster.
Man the clowns are out in full force tonight
Not read through the thread but I’ve always said pro level isn’t what a game should be balanced around that approach only tends to work more for fighting games and asking them for feedback is what started the balancing chaos of SC2. I feel the level they should be focused on is more Masters and anyone above that level can make do.
Factor in tournaments are played in BO3/5/7 formats and you know your opponent beforehand so the meta they play is very different then against random players (not actual random race selection obviously) on ladder you don’t know in games that are often one off affairs.
This is why when pros take a while to realize that something can be abused and one finally executes it in tournaments it causes a massive snowball effect in the pro scene. Ladder players are often better at finding out and abusing intricacies in the game as their opponents don’t have information on their playstyle, tendencies and a BO3/5/7 format in a tournament where money is on the line. The result is ladder becomes overloaded quick with people abusing an issue that the Pro scene doesn’t immediately notice as most pros especially in Korea don’t train on the ladder they have training partners so don’t realize the meta going on online.
