[quote name="Mysterio"][quote name="fabio"]Without just linking to the top 0.001% players before shitting a diaper like pinback? I'd be happy to go over units and build orders. Jesus, just look at what happened to Mischief Maker when he patiently tried to explain Dominions 3 to that diaper-shitter. Pros pick a race to master and stick to it no matter what. It's a hundreds or thousand hour investment or more for them and no one wants to start over. A pro switching races is a big fucking deal to the people who follow that kind of stuff. They don't just change races on a dime depending on which direction the balance wind blows. Even despite that, there were plenty who were bitching about Protoss and talking about switching. There was a point around a year ago when more than half the top players went with Protoss. They're a much lower barrier of entry with more early to mid game options available to them than any other race. Worm already made this point with Streetfighter. Pros put everything into mastering one fighter. Just because someone beat Akuma (Sagat is the new Akuma?) with a different character doesn't mean that character tiers don't exist. [/quote] Nobody in the history of Heart of the Swarm has ever seriously said that Protoss was OP before you did just now. 8 of the top 20 is fine, but that's an arbitrary cut-off point. Protoss is hanging around the bottom of 20. If they were really overpowered, I'd expect to see, I dunno, 4 of the top 5 be Protoss. With the money at stake, if Protoss suddenly became the best race, you'd see top players make the switch regardless of their previous time investment. They are playing video games, they aren't doing anything physical and they all certainly have the time for it. [/quote]
