I started off playing Terran about a month before beta closed. I was gonna play Protoss but as I read the patch notes, every patch nerfed Protoss and buffed Terran (no joke, go read them) so I played T instead. And man it was easy. Terran is basically imba everywhere. Everything Terrans have excels at their job or straight up owns.

Marauders: walking ground pwn-mobiles
1) high HP + stim + can be healed = mini-immortals.
2) ridiculous 20 dmg vs armored (which is like half or more of all armies)
3) cheap to build
4) slow (lol melee units)

Other units like tank/viking combos still work well. BCs/vikings own air AND ground at the same time, and etc. Macro is also ridiculously ez, there's nothing to warp in or larva to inject. Just control your army and 4ss,3ddd every minute or so. Got to diamond pretty easily in both 1v1 and 2v2.

Conclusion: Terran is imba and thus too easy. Now that the game's released, I'm playing Zerg, where it takes real skill to win. The end.

My personal gripe with T is that it's so well thought out. Units have excellent synergy between them, T has a million and 1 opening BOs. Outstanding units that excel at what they're supposed to do. A unit to counter any other unit in the game. Quick tech switches are possible (not as good as zergs ability, but far better than Ps ability) Good macro mechanics, and the list goes on and on...

When you look at it like that Z/P are really underdesigned in comparation to T. P had been smacked with the nerf bat ever since the 1st beta patch. Zs 1 good tank unit got utterly destroyed and changed into a more specialized unit in 2 patches. What happened to T? reactor build time increase and mara slow now an upgrade for the laughable price of 50/50. Ridiculous.

If you're going to make a thread like this, please support your views by playing Terran in a tournament and roflpown everyone. Saying that you're going to play Zerg because it takes skill makes me think you can't win either way.
I think esports is pretty nice.

Funny how it's the other two races that win practically every single event.

I have a Z friend and a P friend I'd be willing to bet you couldn't get a win off of.

Now, now, this is a blog, and that's just his personal opinion.
It could be (really) wrong, but please refrain from flaming too much.

So...
This whole things seems more like a brag thread, with you blatantly stating that you are "diamond in both 1v1 and 2v2" and that you are "playing a race that needs skills".
If you feel that you need to brag when you post a blog, gg.net is a good place.

PS. your thread name is misleading too, you're definitely not a terran player.

Good luck trolling (seriously can't think of another reason for you to be so unrefined).

An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.

I really hate Terran in SC2. Apparently the secret to Terran is to make any combination of units you want, and then attack move, and win.

Funny how thats not true. i bet its pretty even, maybe a bit more terran wins than zerg/protoss, but still pretty even.

I assume since this is a terran centric game (Wings of Liberty), the expansions will focus on developing the other races. I'm not saying it isn't decently balanced atm, just that the other races might be given more B.O options in later expansions.

I hate terran too. It's like I sit there droning to get up to the same economy level that mule gives them early game, then they have a bigger army of units that are stronger than mine 1 for 1, and they just abuse the fact that over half the maps are either way too small or have naturals that are so wide open their stimmed marauders can run laps around my pathetic army. I think the only maps I'm truly comfortable taking my nat on are the ones with cliffs that, surprise surprise, terran also excels at abusing

I am diamond but not a great zerg player by any means so maybe its me, but I don't feel like there is a stage in the game that Zerg excels vs Terran. Not early, not mid, and not late game. Unless they are terrible

marauders are going to see some sort of nerf, be it increase in price or decrease it stats. I also suspect that vikings will lose some attack range.

You would think so. I mean, I thought that all throughout Beta. But lol...

Just like Starcraft BW

P imba, but it's hard for P to win MSL/OSL

I love how you think Zerg is harder than terran LOL

lol just live with it and enjoy the easy wins terran provides. I was zerg for the first half of beta then protoss for the last half, and now Im just giving up and playing terran fulltime.. and its soo easy, but im ok with it.

People always bitch about races, in BW it was protoss being the "easy race", even though they were NOWHERE close to as easy as terran is in SC2.. so whatever, After the past 2 years of playing protoss on BW, I realize that people are always going to bash one race for being "less skilled".. but it all comes down to who wins the game. and if I am beating top diamond players with attack-moving terran, then they need to find another way to stop it or blizzard needs to nerf it. End of story.
