How can it be that bad since they won the most money in 2021?
Protoss feels unfair, but it isn't, and imo, its' in fact kind of bad. Then you have all those EU terran complaining about protoss, but what would they change? And Protoss barely wins any tournaments as is, so is it really necessary? I feel a lot of it is in perceptions. It's still awful in a variety of ways for both races, but changing the VR would make it worse. A lot of people are saying things like nerf the VR or something, but the VR sucked before it's buff and PvZ was in an awful spot. So while changing stats is easy, making that analysis is not. It's not as easy to just balance patch something as you need to analyze a lot of data to try to be as impartial as possible. I think it's important, but I don't think it will happen.
It 'feels' like Terran doesn't have many options on how to play, and it is very difficult and mentally stressful to play the proscribed style that is perceived as being 'most consistently' able to defeat Protoss. As a result, the Terran meta has converged on aggressive play and all-ins in the mid-game as a response to Protoss's perceived lategame power. There is additionally a perception, whether well-founded or not, in the Terran community that Protoss mid- and late-game is easier, demands significantly less multitask and APM to achieve successful outcomes, and therefore should be avoided. Terrans especially, I think, are pretty sick of the m/u and all the different very strong cheeses Protoss can use. It seems like more and more people are just switching to Protoss because there's more options and variety and it's a just fundamentally a less stressful faction to play as, whether or not it's inherently stronger.
Even if a given m/u is balanced it still should be fun and not make players feel like they have to play a particular way.
#4 There seem to be a lot of mid-high level players (below Pro) especially Terrans who are getting really sick of playing vP.
