Yeah, your reading comprehensin is bad. You are trying t explain things not even relevant. The whole thing started with talking about the liberator, I said they are fine in tvz and the only "problem" may be that they kinda force zerg to go for ravagers early on, to hold liberator pushes, and I said that this shouldn't really be a problem balance wise, since a similar situatioon didn't matter in hots tvz where it was zerg who forced terran into a specific playstyle too survive (Which honestly was way worse than zerg's got it right now, since zerg is the strongest race currently, and no I don't care about your excuses).
In case you wouldn't understand why it may be wrong too enforce a specific playstyle this much is that you, the one who forces that can play ahead of that, and simply counter the counter of what your opponent has assumed you would do and still have the option to do. This is why blink opens were really broken in hots. It forced terran to really commit to defense if he really wanted to hold a blink all in, but protoss could just fake it and take an exp and greed and hold it, because your opponent invested so much into defending your fake all in early on and it was really hard too identify and not to overcommit to defending, or not be committed enough.
Liberators have nothing to do with it. If zerg needs ravagers now in zvt, they need ravagers. I think it's retarded to say it's ok because terran had to play "retardedly defensive" in hots. There are a million reasons why that's retarded because there are a million things people DO just so they don't die to certain things. Starcraft isn't about personal preference and personal tastes in playstyles. It's about execution and knowledge. You don't look at a roach/baneling all-in and think "man this is gay I can't just defend this with whatever units I choose to build." You try to kill the banelings with hellions, get bunkers, whatever. Terran/Protoss/Zerg has tools to deal with things and they use the proper ones, not whatever the fuck is fun to you.
