This is easily the biggest fail in modern forum trolling history. It’s so hilarious how salty these guys are, I thought others might like to see. It’s not everyday a master troll face plants into the concrete (he’s going to need facial reconstruction surgery after this crash):
Troll changes sides in a debate, saying the Aligulac chart confirms that terran is overpowered:
Is it too late to be bigger man and change my mind? Ive been messing around RankedFTW and Aligulac, and I found this formula-based chart made by the creator of Aligulac. OFC it doesn’t automaticall mean Terran is op, but mabye zerg isn’t as strong as I previously thought.
No hate, just being honest here.

tEhbAtZ disagrees with the chart, even though it supposedly supports his argument:
Fyi, it takes glicko deltas and categorizes them by race instead of by player, and uses a smoothing function of some sort. It doesn’t measure balance, it measures change in balance. It shows when the meta shifts but says nothing about balance.
Please, tell us more about how the chart that doesn’t measure balance confirms your balance intuitions
Troll doesn’t realize batz has rejected his data, proceeding with the next step in his BIG BRAIN plan. It turns out, he switched zerg and terran on the chart, and proceeds to monologue how he has tricked batz into accepting data that batz “would never accept since he only accepts data that confirms his position”:
This is eating away at my conscience. I’m sorry to anyone and everyone who I mislead. I uploaded a chart that I switched Terran and Zerg on the legend key.
Photoshopped version: https ://imgur. com/a/wW7gL7e Original unedited chart: http ://aligulac. com/misc/balance/I think some people may have figured this out and played along with my facade, but some people probably didn’t and dug their heels in their position. The forum did indeed get much quieter after I posted the fake chart, which did make me feel there was some bullying here.
This makes me a hypocrite as I wanted to argue in good faith only, so why would I do this? Because I just want this to be charade of a debate (which truly ended a while ago) to be done. Because we all know Batz had his “facts” debunked but he refutes any contradictory evidence. I wanted to present an unbiased algorithm that estimates race balance, but I knew Batz wouldn’t accept it unless one of two things happened:
It did indeed show Zerg to not be OP. I made the chart look like it shows Zerg to not be OP.Batz is on record blasting everything he disagrees with as unfactual. To now turn around and disagree with this algorithm ONLY AFTER learning it doesn’t support his beliefs would shred his entire argument of only him and no one else accepting the facts and statistics.
This was way too dirty and dishonest, so I would like to extend to RabiDrone an opportunity to bow out of this debate and maintain your honor on the grounds that I presented false evidence to you and therefore the onus was on me, not you, for this. You aren’t gonna get a better chance than this.
This is easily the biggest troll fail I have witnessed in recent years and couldn’t stop laughing. I hope you enjoyed it too! These terran players are EXTREMELY salty about the fact that Terrans win tournaments at a higher rate than zerg or protoss.
