Agreed with crazek, it is metagame.

There are 3 heavily underused units in the game right now - warp prism, carrier and mothership. If you don't use some of your race tools, how can you claim you are underpowered? High level players are starting to realize that. We even saw a mommaship in GSL.

There are good situational units that are designed to do very specific things, like phoenix. Phoenix is successfully used for it's purpose when the game goes a particular way, which is fine. Voidray is fine, DT is fine. But having NOBODY EVER use 3 units out of 15? 20% of potential right down the drain.

What concerns me is terran though. All they need to win is a marauder-medivac ball with optional ghosts and vikings. Never see BC, ravens. Occasional nuke to harass 6-th expansion 40 minutes into the game is not a good metagame for a game of starcraft magnitude.
You are absoulutly right! How can protoss attempt to win if they only use 75% of their arsenal? (( Im a protoss player =) ))

Also tom, I think you should take some mroe time ( your analysis is good ) and delve into facts a little more. With the gate tech being pushed back, protoss are finding that AGRESSIVE openings are no longer possible against CERTAIN builds from other races!

I think a lot of protoss players ( including myself and I think I saw it mentioned before) Need to figure out some new builds and tactics instead of holding onto " the old ways ". Mothership/carrier/warp prism all need to be used a lot more in conjunction with other stratagys. And I agree maps most certainly count in this factor, but maybe its up to the protoss player to realise he needs to be DEFENSIVE early game? A.K.A build a few sentries and relax =)

In anycase im not saying anyones right or wrong but i think there are a few more things to consider before people start crying UNBALANCED =)
