So a bunch of aggressive players went Cath and are, presently, doing well at it. Is that any reason whatsoever to make Cath completely pointless for the other 99% of the universe? They're already third on average value, out of four. Terran stats are obviously warped by their "default newbie option" status, so Cath basically have the lowest average value of the races we have meaningful stats for.

If we take the focus off the top 100 (and even the top 100 is starting to level out) we would see that Cath are not doing better than other races. It is utterly ridiculous, in the light of these statistics, to claim that Cath are overpowered.
stats are one thing. Common sense is the other.

if you compare the effectiveness of Cath CR fleet to those of Xan Fi you should get the impressinon that Cath are overpowered. Also compare how well both races can steal stuff.
Also try to attack a Terran with Cath Co, its another 0 loss combo. And Ter are supposed to be the Cath counterpart, arent they?
