Where are the updates?

So I noticed at the start of legacy of the void for the first 3 years we had a lot of variety in tournaments. We had Protoss, Zerg, Terran. After the big patches Terran got super powerful with the instant Seeker Missle and reign supreme for 2 years. Then after Terran got butchered in constant nerfs every update Zerg became powerful for 2 years with Serral reigning supreme. Now we get a nice year of nothing but Protoss winning.

My thought is a StarCraft 2 Classic. Because at the moment I can’t stand this Protoss sh*tfest. Why not revert the game back. If not then we need some stuff to get done. It has almost been an entire year with no updates to StarCraft 2.

Please do something.

No one tell you that the whole development team have left blizzard? No any balance updates will be provided.

Funny, but Protoss hasn’t won a GSL since January 2017.

Please, just please stop the incessant Tearan whining.

Since when we measure balance in gsl wins per race? Or do we make protoss strong to help Trap with his throws?

MMS (Match making System) is designed to give people 50% winrate across all MU (TvT, TvP and TvZ).
Your numbers simply imply that you just suck in a single MU (TvP).
People that have 50% winrate in all three MU are an exception.
By the way, last aligulac period is as follows:

List 293 (May 6 - May 19)

PvT 459–460 (49.95%)
PvZ 513–431 (54.34%)
TvZ 336–290 (53.67%)

I guess because the Void has more utility in PvZ than in PvT (outside pure cheese). Also nerffs to Zerg (though justified) were pushed too far.
Simply giving back IT to Infestors and full-damage Feedback to Templars would have fixed Zerg problem with GoldenArmada while giving Protoss means to keep Viper/Infestor in check.

So funny how all these whiners keep claiming how “Protoss win everything” while Protoss actually still winning nothing.

3 years of rarely even touching below the balance line? check.

aligulac. com/misc/balance/

Also dominating Zerg for the last 6 months? check!

GIANT over-representations in higher leagues, with massive MMR disparities.

rankedftw .com/stats/races/1v1/#v=2&r=-2&l=-2

Check.

50% of the top 2 slots in Premier tournaments this year (Terran has ONE)? You guessed it, check.

But hey, there’s that one tournament you can’t seem to win no matter how many free wins Blizzard gives you race, so that must mean that Terran (and Zerg, too, btw) must all just be whiners!

I don’t think the balance is perfect but I wait for the day when blizzard says they are done with balance, so I can watch these forums decay and rot .

Maybe I’m like the Joker in the Dark Knight but I recently find myself wanting to watch these forums burn. Balance complaints are the only thing keeping these relics alive. I look forward to the demise of the forums greatly.

Like is BW balance perfect? No. But it’s not changing and players there have basically learned to live with it.

What has protoss won? I think one gsl and maybe one dreamhack? Am I missing a string of protoss major tourney wins here? Last gsl was rogue, Asus rog tourney was byun, most dreamhacks EU either serral or reynor, katowice reynor. I guess like NA is dominated by protoss but who cares if astrea or neeb are wiping up that side of things.

Showtime is widely accepted as the best Eu protoss and I don’t think he’s been final 4 in anything major in like 4 years.

Won GSL Super Tournament and DH Masters.

It’s not about this wins, though. Protoss should have the least wins at that level, as their best players have left, with no one to truly replace them.

Stop using your lower back parts as a way to communicate. This is one giant made up BS that ‘mmr is divided per matchup’. If you retained Masters MMR and threw every game vs Protoss you’d still get the same level of players. not get silver protoss noobs because you have 40% WR tvp. Imagine being so ill informed about the game and teaching others… this troll has some unique arrogance and over-confidence, a confidence without cover to be exact.

Ruff you should totally listen to the silver leaguer Protoss (but GM advice in forums) IronFelix !! Learn from him u noob

Blizzard said they’d continue to patch the game. They were, unfortunately, correct; as they have patched it…for coop. The single coffee runner, I mean intern, that they have “maintaining” SC2 is in his cage; sorry, I mean on vacation. Therefore, it’s safe to assume the current state of ladder, aka real sc2, is permanent. It’s sad that such a majestic RTS game has been left to die in the Protoss gutter.

He is right but in a 1vs1 system where skill is ultimately the determining factor with very few exceptions, that’s a good system.

Where it doesn’t work is in team games because it’s no longer just your skill vs their skill and thus, your position is inherently compromised unless you run a full custom team nearly all the time.

Sc2’s 1vs1 match making is pretty bloody good, bar the rare smurf or unranked player game where you get utterly stomped by someone who’s skill vastly more skilled and it looks like imbalance from your perspective without seeing what exactly your opponent has been doing.

Who is right? the system isnt divided per matchup!!! You get to see the per-matchup win rate but your opponents are as closest MMR as possible, you are matched with opponents MMR closest match to your current mmr, and not per-race MMR there is no such thing, even if there was hidden per-race mmr, the game only takes the average of all matchups and uses that only.

The system inherently tries to give you a 50% win rate average by it’s very nature as you constantly face opponents in your same MMR bracket.

The dang man always trying to keep a player at 50%. I’m at 62% this season. Take that Blizzard. Now one learns why to never flex in front of the oppressive god who dreams of everyone being at 50% win rate, max. Barred from playing anyone below my MMR now, prob.

Terran/zerg lose to low mmr protoss because protoss per matchup mmr actually lot greater, but they are limit because pvp.

I always find it interesting when a player will blatantly cherry pick data like this. You’re talking about 3 years of less skilled Protosses just absolutely demolishing Terran, but they point to one period where things were even
