FUCKING PVP. WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THIS MATCHUP? IF YOU DON'T GO MASS COLOSSI, WELP, YOU'RE FUCKED. YOU TRY TO DO SOMETHING EXCITING AND NEW LIKE WARP PRISM DROPS WHICH AREN'T ALL THAT USED IN EVERY LEVEL OF PLAY, BUT NOOOO, UNLESS YOU GET DTS, WHICH ARE IN THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF THE TECH TREE, YOUR HARASS SUCKS AND YOU'RE GONNA DEAL MORE DAMAGE TO YOURSELF THAN TO YOUR OPPONENT.

FUCKING BULLSHIT, EVEN 1/1/1 IS MANAGEABLE BECAUSE LOL NO EARLY PRESSURE, EAT STORMS BITCH, FEEDBACK YOUR RAVENS AND PDD, BUT THIS IS JUST SICKENING. TVT IS A MUCH BETTER MATCHUP TO WATCH AND PLAY, EVEN IF IT'S 1 HOUR LONG SIEGE TANK LINE DANCING AND LEAPFROGING.

HOLY FUCK I MAD.

Though I do not understand much of what you typed, I earnestly hope that whatever might have gotten you so worked up has been released from your being.

FUCKING PVT AND PVZ


1/1/1 is laughable on Plat league, though. Even a standard 3Gate expand can hold it, since they can't see the little nuances of the build. 1Gate FE in general holds against it in theory. Just for the fuck of it, I usually go 1Gate FE into fast Templar tech just to be safe. That and they always build Vikings, even without scouting the Colossi.

PvZ, I've been using a mass expand style, focusing on a Stalker/HT army. Tech switches between HT and Colossi work well. And DT harassment is quite good against lower league players since they don't have the multitasking to deal with it.


EDIT: Did you watch NoHoSeoSage's match against SiriusfOU in the GSTL? It was a beautiful PvZ, where Sage was harassing with Zealots off proxy pylons and Phoenix all over the place, was really innovative.

Sounds like you're playing a bad game.

I don't play the game myself, but from what I am hearing all over the place, the created balance from SC1 has been crushed,sadly.

There always seems to be one race that's winning most of the games by a noticeable amount.

The game is much different than SCBW. Units clump up now, so AoE attacks like Colossi' Thermal Lances or sieged up Tanks' shells do a lot more damage in one volley, since you hit a lot more units. In SCBW, that didn't happen. Not to mention the skill ceiling in SC2 is much lower, although still high.

I think it's just the metagame progressing. For a moment, Zerg dominated the scene, then Terran, then Protoss, now Terran again (although they are the most flexible race). I mean, in SC1, hardly any Protoss ever won a MSL/OSL. For example, in the latest OSL, the last Protoss was knocked out in Ro16, if I'm not mistaken.

Starcraft 2 is pretty balanced imo. Its just that the game is still fresh and new and the strategies are still developing. There hasn't been a balance change for a year but the high win rate race changes because of the metagame.
