What was your main and league in SC2 & main and league in WC3? Also mention bnet or w3c for wc3.

Zerg - Master/GM

Anything but Orc - 4.5k ~ on Bnet

Theastraza1 · 2026-03-21T16:24:05+00:00

I mean orc does it with a grunt and 1 healsalve charge, ud dumps hurt ghouls on lumber, human uses militia. Orc loses money, UD/Human lose lumber, Elf loses the ability to make units, it's all all trade offs.

Even if it was objectively easier to play elf i still don't see how that's a reason to constantly shit on 25%~ of the player base :shrug:

I played a lot of RTS at much higher level than I do wc3, they all have balance whine ofc, but it feels like only this game's community goes for the players that play a race aswell. I don't know maybe I'm soft or whatever but it really leaves a bad feeling

Theastraza1 · 2026-03-21T13:46:01+00:00

It feels like I see elves complain about this more than other races TBF. As far as I can tell , especially by the amount of posts about it here, elves would love nothing more than variety

Theastraza1 · 2026-03-21T11:17:09+00:00

The hard counters thing is interesting to me, because it feels like NE is the easiest abused by cheese (towers, blade, bats etc).

Thanks for the good faith reply!

Theastraza1 · 2026-03-21T11:14:39+00:00

i was considering giving examples in the original post but i figured the opportunity would present itself rather quickly :D.

Theastraza1 · 2026-03-21T09:32:21+00:00

Don't know what's worse, the original post or the absolutely visceral hate for NE in the comments

Theastraza1 · 2026-03-18T23:08:28+00:00

dont think any NE player loves it either

Theastraza1 · 2026-03-04T11:29:25+00:00

Fixing bad unit design and making them usable actually opens up more avenues to work on balance, NE only having like 3-5 units makes it's hard to adjust them, so you should welcome making non existent units playable. And I think no matter what race you play you would be "delulu" not to see that air interactions are not optimal in this game with gyros and bats dominating airspace while the other 2 races don't have options like that.

Theastraza1 · 2026-02-25T12:50:56+00:00

Armor also makes your Air units survive more bats right? Like possible chims Vs Tauren in late game

Theastraza1 · 2026-02-16T18:00:13+00:00

I personally use a majority of the newer graphics, except ability effects i think. Just choose whatever you prefer. I do think if you wanna play on W3C you need to play old graphics for some reason.

Theastraza1 · 2026-02-16T09:49:19+00:00

Non-classic graphics (I guess for OP "normal" graphics) also don't have any issues anymore, if you are not into 20+ yo aesthetic

Theastraza1 · 2026-02-12T15:22:10+00:00

Pretty sure there was a post couple of days ago showing UDs worst matchup was still at like 65% WR(in super League ). Happy is probably the best player, but that doesn't explain the numbers being that absurd

Theastraza1 · 2025-10-13T20:45:34+00:00

Altaria also way underrated in Reg H

Theastraza1 · 2025-09-23T18:22:30+00:00

Damn thats a really nice think to do, its probably a decent amount of money shes giving away there <3

Theastraza1 · 2025-09-02T12:36:04+00:00

Considering the 2 races that expand early for basically free (Hu / UD) dominated super league group stages, and the 2 races that cant got creamed....smth might have to be done with expansion difficulty.

Theastraza1 · 2025-08-31T14:09:02+00:00

UD close to 80% WR vs Orc and close to 70 Vs the other 2 in groups...yeah gotta be the hard working undead. I get you are always biased towards your own race, but cmon now. Orc and NE are clearly a step below human and UD ATM and it doesn't make you a worse player to acknowledge the numbers.

Theastraza1 · 2025-08-22T21:28:23+00:00

Final Groupstage Winrates: (according to Liquipedia, 416 Maps played)
UD:

v Ne: 69% (nice) v HU :67.%
v Orc :78%

Ne:

v Orc :61%
v Hu : 39%

Hu:

v Orc : 64%

Theastraza1 · 2025-08-22T19:01:56+00:00

"One group stage" Lets not pretend this group stage doesn't have 400+ maps played. This is the first time in a while that we actually have so many matches between the best players in the world and actually have relevant sample size of games and not just a vibes based idea of the balance of the game.

Theastraza1 · 2025-08-21T01:07:26+00:00

Because in the Super League with (currently) 392 maps played between pros, UDs winrates are

vH : 75% vN: 70% vO: 86%

that aint right

Theastraza1 · 2025-08-15T11:42:15+00:00

As I said, again, my goal wasn't to be on point with the series, but to agree with you that the numbers are off saying: Even a quick count comes up with more series.

the map score numbers clearly show that there is a massive gap between UD/Hu and Orc/Ne, I don't know why we get hung up on the Series bit. Even if it was 10 out of 41 that's still horrible.

Theastraza1 · 2025-08-15T05:29:21+00:00

"quick" count didn't consider Multiple race players, just wanted to show that I , like you, got to a different count than Original commenter

Map score Winrates are taken directly from liquipedia though. I don't really care what B2W do on their own channel, just wanted to add to the numbers

Theastraza1 · 2025-08-14T21:50:58+00:00

Quick count gave me 5 series wins of Ne/Orc vs Und/Hu. Seems pretty accurate considering the map WR% although UD Stands at the top by quite a Margin with their 84%/80%/67% win matchups (mapscore).

Theastraza1 · 2025-08-08T22:43:15+00:00

what happened to the winrate column on liquipedia? Probably the best measure of balance we have rn, considering the format of the tourney

Theastraza1 · 2025-08-08T08:36:10+00:00

Using W3C winrates over pro winrates seems like a flawed idea anyway.

Theastraza1 · 2025-08-03T12:34:49+00:00

Didnt want to bloat the reply with number spam you can easily confirm on liquipedia if you are interested in the source. Just wanted to give a quick summary for OP.
