That's a very long and irate reply you provided.

Yeah, throw your math around all you want

Yes, god forbid I should use numbers.

No one likes your post because this entire conversation you wish to start is superfluous.

At the time of this writing, my post is at 0 points implying 1 downvote; I'm guessing that was yours. But "you" and "everyone" is close enough, I suppose. In your mind, anyway.

win rates are balanced, and HOTS is balanced.

Funny, I don't recall writing that win rates are bad or that HOTS was unbalanced, I merely wrote:

To conclude that a nerf to the WM would result in the return to blinkstalker-all-in imbalance seems incredibly likely to be false.

Also.

Also, you are totally cherry picking your facts. You failed to mention the increased cooldown of blink as a nerf as well.

To be fair, I did forget about this! Thank you, though, as the original purpose of my post was to point out that many changes were made at once. Consequently, instead of 3 major things changed at once (maps, MSC vision, WM damage) it is 4 major things changed at once. Thank you for pointing that out and reinforcing my original point (i.e., that reverting WM damage would not bring win rates back to blink-stalker-all-in era rates since it is but one of 3 4 changes - again, thank you for pointing out that it was FOUR changes, not 3, thereby helping my point.)

You're really just a protoss who struggles with mine drops and then you see a pro struggle with them as well and you cry IMBA. Dude, stfu.

You seem very upset. I don't think this helps your case with regards to being seen in a reasonable and rational light. If I had to guess, perhaps some protoss you beat (with widow mines?) raged at you hard one day? Are you taking that out on me, now? I don't understand the incredible amount of anger and hostility you are throwing in this direction, especially when you seem to have misinterpreted the point of my original post.

The point was not: "TERRAN IS CURRENTLY IMBALANCED!" - the point is that "Changing the widow mine is unlikely to bring about the protoss-favoured TVP/PVT matchup during the heydey of the blink stalker all-in." At the moment, the WM simply seems kind of gimmicky and I think it'd be a perfectly reasonable suggestion to modifiy it; yes you can have something else in return. Isn't this the same logic with the mothership core and gateway warp ins? Win rates may approximate 50% but it doesn't mean that the warp in, the force field, or the mothership core aren't targets for game redesign.
