3:09 It's so funny to me how Harstem is like, "Considering the map size, obviously 3 CC is a bad build and our Terran will go Factory instead." Like, when you're in Platinum League, you're WAY ahead of the game if you've memorized 1 build per race. I think our Terran is going to probably do the same build he's done in the last 30 games. XD Edit: Oh my God, Hamster - that Live Trade Graph is SUCH a good idea, I love it!
Bro i make it from low gold to diamond 2 using only all in 12 pylon proxy robo vs terran and toss xD mostly losing vs zergs but have above i 90% wr vs others XDDDD low mmr is fun
Having yet to watch, the statement "Chrono boosting upgrades is definitely imbalanced" needs more love than it got in the first two minutes. My favorite part is that, objectively, it holds water, it's absolutely insanely broken and not particularly fair... Which is the entire reason why Protoss upgrades all take longer at all tiers than the Zerg and Terran counterparts. Protoss needs 129/154/179 seconds; whereas Terran and Zerg take only 114/136/157 seconds. Thus, it's not merely expected but compensated for that Protoss will use Chrono Boosts for upgrades, each of which remove only 10 seconds from that upgrade's time -- Protoss otherwise takes an entire minute longer than Terran and Zerg do in order to get from +0 to +3.

Zerg players are bred to invade whilst being sacrificed for the swarm. Protoss Players are taught from birth to be warriors and fight as one whilst their rebirth awaits them. Terran players hide behind walls to avoid early confrontation and become marines after being convicted felons.

I'm about 9 mins, 40 seconds in... What also sticks out to me is that he said he was ahead in workers the whole time, yet the Protoss has been ahead in workers up to this point... Unless I'm mistaken, having an economic advantage for the first 10 mins of the match is pretty useful. He also claimed that no storms were used, yet there was a storm used at the 16:22 mark... You don't help your case when you lie about the details...
Good hypothesis, but harstems observations do not seem to match the data. At the very least, terrans complain to him the least often, perhaps because he complains about terrans complaining so much.
1:12 Kevin's smile when he said the race Amandus plays made my day. This is that type of detail which immediately cheers you up when you notice one of them.
Running the numbers from the community poll and the IODIS complaint percentage given at 1:55, I am surprised to say that the most complaints seem to come from Zerg players (as long as you divide Random players equally between all 3 main races) By ratio, Terran made up about 30.3% of the player base recognized in the poll, with their complain percentage being slightly under at 29.0% Protoss accounted for 34.9% of the player base, while owning 36.6% of all complaints Finally, Zerg made up 31.8% of the player base, and seem to have submitted 34.4% of all complaints, making Zerg the most complaining race in Harstem's (and Hamster's) channel I will update this information every few days if the poll numbers seem to change.

I also have always found it weird that Terrans complain that it’s too hard to use ghosts while simultaneously complaining about Templar. It’s the same thing - you click the hotkey and click the army. Plus - Terran doesn’t have to research EMP, gets an upgrade to make it god like (EMP radius is exactly the same as storm before the upgrade), it does MORE damage than storm and instantly instead of over 3 seconds, and the auto attack and HP comparisons are laughable
Ye, toss to beat MMMM army neef Storm colosus and distuptors at one, micro them and do diferent tech trees, terran have to build academy and use 2 hotkkeys IMBALANCE
I think that is because they use one group for all main army (or F2) and then... having Ghosts makes steaming the marines harder (you need to TAB then steam!)... in case of Amadeus that could actually save some of those poor over-steamed the Marine junkies
On one hand, yes, it is quite funny, but on the other hand: storm has the capacity to kill units, and your using it primairly zgainst the squishy terran bio and small zerg forces (lings, hydras, and roaches), whereas EMP cannot kill anything under any circumstance, at best it can bring an archon down to 4 HP, and is only useful in that regard against protos, a race that can out tank terran before accounting for shields with most of there comparable units. Which isn't saying storm is IMAB or necessarily better than EMP, just that the 2 can't be compared as equivalents despite having a similar function at a surface level.
As an ex-terran player my reasoning for ghosts being too hard is that I've seen some pro games of maru or cure playing vs zerg, then got excited to play ghosts myself, and got absolutely blasted by zerg players. Snipe is super hard and keeping them alive is even harder. In my mind I turned off the option to build ghosts because they were too hard, so I never used them against protoss either, even though that literally makes 0 sense, since EMP is a lot easier than snipe.
To be honest, if you stay til the end of the party you end up in some sort of after, or just find a way to keep partying. The cleaning part also is not to underestimate, you normally get offered free beers (or drugs too if you are into that kind of thing), and end up with the most fucked up people. Our boy here knows it all, I like him. -from someone that always ends up cleaning the entire rave
that 'clean up into getting cleaned up' pun was s-tier. if he isnt scripting these beforehand thats honestly impressive how fast he is with all these jokes every video
Thank you Harstem for saying what I've been thinking for a long time. How can terrans whine about how hard ghosts are to use when they get rolled by toss at the same level using high templar? The only differences between them are that ghosts are tankier, faster, can't friendly fire and can turn invisible. The ghost is objectively much easier to use than a high templar. People will then point out that you have to micro your marines or whatever but a) none of these people are microing their units well anyway and at least half of them would literally be better off a-moving, and b) if you carpet bomb a toss army with EMP before they can storm, you can actually just stim, a-move it and win like they always complain toss does.
@@Ghruul I don't think so. I think that stats provided by Hamster is actually about those that submit complaints. Probably it is 2 things First is confirmation bias: Harstem believes that terrans are more whiny so his subconscious counting (if he ever counted this carefully he would have seen that this is not the case) goes to support this bias. Second is that he just says things that make the show no matter if they are correct
o7 Now, this is a complete shot in the dark, Cap'n, but regarding the balance-whine Terran thing, I'm pretty sure that the Terran race is simply a jack-of-all trades, since it is so well rounded-up. So, naturally, they would notice that both Zerg and Protoss have specific advantages in places and will end-up complaining in the long-run since the grass is greener on the other side. Just a viewpoint from someone who doesn't play SCII. PS: thanks for including that option in the poll!
Two base chargelot archon man. 44 worker and 9-10 gateway with prism. Go out at about 6-7 min. I shot my protoss up from plat 2 to D3 once just doing that nonsense for couple hours straight vs all races. :D it's really interesting how my least played race often seems easiest to play. I guess it's just that people at our shit leagues cannot deal with protoss. I rage myself against it with other two races.
IMHO (as a gold terran), the issue with ghost is that you have to manage marines with stim, sieging your siege units and use EMP which make a lot of things to do for a low level player and tend to be overwhelming. Ghost being higher priority than marines in the selection make it harder to control part of your army if you want to manage multiple groups, or you need to "panic stim" when you don't iniate the engagement.
Just using one single extra unit is a big advantage over using all of them. This guy didn't make mines, didn't make liberator and didn't make ghosts, just 1/3 would have made the game a lot easier.
My immediate reaction to the complaint form is to think about the Platinum Terran who completely demolished me with some well-placed EMPs the other day. EMPing Archons is... argh.
Once I graduate with my Psychology degree from Harvard, the first job I’m applying to will be the Harstem Research Facility, specifically the branch for studying mental disabilities in Terran players
I find it interesting that if you compare the relative percentages of what race people play to the races played by players who submit IMBA complaints they are almost the same. The difference is probably due in some part to random players. Anyway I find it interesting because this would suggest that all 3 races submit IMBA requests equally. And you could reasonably then surmise that perhaps that means things are balanced.
At the 17 minute mark the terran is mining 700 minerals less per minute and 300 gas less per minute yet has 13 more workers then the protoss same base count always make sure to send workers who have mined out to the new bases!
I just love this series! Sooner or later it always makes me laugh! =) This time it really didn't take long! "No one can expect me to build ghosts" xD It's asking too much xD
Hamster, the live trade graph was awesome. Would have been nice to see for the drop when he killed the forges as well. I imagine it takes quite a while to make though
Plat is interesting. Some of these players have really complex game knowledge but then try to be fancy with their micro when they could win by just a moving at a certain point. Knowing when to back out of a winning position is a really huge skill to learn.
I suggest a study with two groups of a significant amount of participants One group will get assigned a race The other will be able to choose freely at any point Then over the course of half a month or two they will have to play a couple games a week while filling in a survey at the end of each week Questions regarding fairness and race sentiment Happiness and frustration Then you will have a result that shows Whether race choice affects sentiment inherently or whether it is more likely to be a cultural thing
Oh god. the look on your face at the 20 minute mark when Amandus just threw his army away was glorious. Edit - and that was an entirely ground based Protoss army, with very few abilities to attack up. Where was the air transition?
That's not how statistics works. You also need to know the number of terran / protoss that are subbed to the channel. From the other poll there is 35% more protoss players than terran, yet there is only 20% more complains from protoss than terran. So on average, terran complains more than protoss.
@@LEpigeon888 You're correct, yet also conveniently just make this a matter of terran vs toss. While even if we go by the numbers of the poll and the statistics in this video, zergs should be the whiniest ones.
BGMwSS: Replace every unit in your army with a unit in the same tier and as similar tech wise as you can get. E.g. Zealots/Adepts Carriers/Tempests Voidrays/Pheonixes/Oracles? Stalkers/Sentries HT/DT Disruptor/Collosi Immortal/Archon? Bonus: Prisim/Mothership (they're both transports... right?) If you play terran: Reapers/Ghosts Marines/Marauders Mines/Hellions/Helbats Tanks/Thors (Inspired by this video) Medivacs/Vikings Battlecruisers/Liberators
Look, I recognise that it’s not imbalanced and it’s just that I suck, but spending 10 mins building an army and then watching it evaporate near instantly to storms or destructors is pretty soul crushing.
As soul crushing as watching a bunch of expensive archons evaporate to a couple EMPs, which hit instantly (storm is a dot) and fire instantly (disruptors take time to explode)? As soul crushing as moving an army through an empty area, and watching it disintegrate to a few widow mines?
walking into the biggest surrounds like a real champ lol, did he kite back once besides at the end when the game was alrdy over? also focussing the sentry with marauders is really smart, since they do additional damage to sentries and not to stalkers
There is one point I think Mr Harstem gets wrong around 21 minutes. You mention that Protoss has more upgrades to research because of shield upgrades. But that's not counting the fact that Terrans have to research Vehicle weapons and Vehicle Plating. (Protoss only has 'Ground weapons' for all Gateway and Robo units) So Terran does seem to have more upgrades if you want to get everything. Doesn't make much of a difference in this case, but just wanted to throw that out there.
I don't understand why we were talking about ghosts at all if proper control alone would've won the game for this guy. He needs to be shown how to kite back with his army instead of walking forward, double stimming and standing until their death. Especially against archon zealot, where you can kite forever and always have the chance to pick up and leave.
16:18 still find it hillarious that the thor after getting flamed from harstem for buying it was probably the best unit he had in the entire army (atleast how he used it)

Knowing when to back out of a winning position is a really huge skill to learn.
I'm watching this IODIS episode, I'm 20 mins in and thinking "2 ghosts would be the doom of that Protoss"
I suggest a study with two groups of a significant amount of participants
One group will get assigned a race
The other will be able to choose freely at any point
Then over the course of half a month or two they will have to play a couple games a week while filling in a survey at the end of each week
Questions regarding fairness and race sentiment
Happiness and frustration
Then you will have a result that shows Whether race choice affects sentiment inherently or whether it is more likely to be a cultural thing
Harstem's expression and what is happening from 21:30 - 21:52 is fucking priceless. XD
Oh god. the look on your face at the 20 minute mark when Amandus just threw his army away was glorious.
Edit - and that was an entirely ground based Protoss army, with very few abilities to attack up. Where was the air transition?
28:19 "The devil is in the details, and... you will never meet the devil." LOL
The "live trade graph" was awesome!
Are we not gonna talk about that stim used at 17:01 of gametime? Ended exactly at 21:49 in video - right before the big surround fight :D
Thanks for the video!
Harstem getting fact checked by hamster with Terran having the least idios form complaints is great, lol
That's not how statistics works. You also need to know the number of terran / protoss that are subbed to the channel. From the other poll there is 35% more protoss players than terran, yet there is only 20% more complains from protoss than terran. So on average, terran complains more than protoss.
@@LEpigeon888 You're correct, yet also conveniently just make this a matter of terran vs toss.
While even if we go by the numbers of the poll and the statistics in this video, zergs should be the whiniest ones.
Harstem describing terran players made me think of Artosis 😂
"Well, you're a person. With a brain."
*immediately begins to doubt own statement*
1:49 Is that a chart of all IMBA complaints inbox or just the ones, that Harstem made videos about?
BGMwSS: Replace every unit in your army with a unit in the same tier and as similar tech wise as you can get.
E.g.
Zealots/Adepts
Carriers/Tempests
Voidrays/Pheonixes/Oracles?
Stalkers/Sentries
HT/DT
Disruptor/Collosi
Immortal/Archon?
Bonus: Prisim/Mothership (they're both transports... right?)
If you play terran:
Reapers/Ghosts
Marines/Marauders
Mines/Hellions/Helbats
Tanks/Thors (Inspired by this video)
Medivacs/Vikings
Battlecruisers/Liberators
Giving advice while roasting…..only harstem!
Look, I recognise that it’s not imbalanced and it’s just that I suck, but spending 10 mins building an army and then watching it evaporate near instantly to storms or destructors is pretty soul crushing.
As soul crushing as watching a bunch of expensive archons evaporate to a couple EMPs, which hit instantly (storm is a dot) and fire instantly (disruptors take time to explode)? As soul crushing as moving an army through an empty area, and watching it disintegrate to a few widow mines?
@@sumelar true
mad respect for hamsters editing in this episode! guess the weird guy talking all day long did well too :P
18:00 Who also understood "electromagnetic pils" - an thought of a beer? ^^
Solid like, captain
Terran crying while losing to archons / high templar / colossus / disruptor with his tier 1 garbage marine marauder spam...so hilarious.
that cleaning up at the party analogy was perfect
I would like to note that at 1:31 the protoss was ahead in workers.
walking into the biggest surrounds like a real champ lol, did he kite back once besides at the end when the game was alrdy over?
also focussing the sentry with marauders is really smart, since they do additional damage to sentries and not to stalkers
My beloved tanks
14:26 Some kind of Au-THOR-ity...get it?
There is one point I think Mr Harstem gets wrong around 21 minutes. You mention that Protoss has more upgrades to research because of shield upgrades.
But that's not counting the fact that Terrans have to research Vehicle weapons and Vehicle Plating. (Protoss only has 'Ground weapons' for all Gateway and Robo units) So Terran does seem to have more upgrades if you want to get everything. Doesn't make much of a difference in this case, but just wanted to throw that out there.
"You're a person with a brain," Proceeds to watch him get his entire army destroyed.
Me: Is he though?
I don't even play SC2 lol. But I still watch every video
I don't understand why we were talking about ghosts at all if proper control alone would've won the game for this guy. He needs to be shown how to kite back with his army instead of walking forward, double stimming and standing until their death. Especially against archon zealot, where you can kite forever and always have the chance to pick up and leave.
24:30 Are you saying it's not good for bio to stim forward into melee units? 🤯
16:18 still find it hillarious that the thor after getting flamed from harstem for buying it was probably the best unit he had in the entire army (atleast how he used it)
