I applaud you for playing zerg and not cheesing. Whenever i seem to play against zergs they always 6 pool. Don't worry, Zerg's time will come and then you can drink all of the tears of the Terrains and Zerg, and you can say, I was zerg, before all the noobs switched over to it.

Or it will never happen and the guy will quit SC2 forever

I play random and I agree with nearly everything in the article.
Zerg is incredibly management oriented, unless you play like dimaga.
Zerg has to hit all the timings spot on for when to make drones and when to make units. I think its kind of unfair zerg has to play two base and terran can wall in. Theres no real way of scouting until zerg get lair tech, and by then terran can come out with marines, or mech, or marauders, or vikings, or cloak banshee and just gg win.

The part that i love the best is when you set up a VERY nice surround on the protoss and then BAMMMMM FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFForcefield EZMODE rapes your surround and half a control group of roach and zergling are stuck in a seizure flopping about under magical prisms while getting raped by ridiculous splash from war of the worlds LAZER beams.

Don't worry man, its nothing compared to this, i was going great, my win / loss was 40-10. 12 games later it was 40-22, i finally broke my losing streak by baneling busting plexa.

No scouting no AA nerfed to death roaches..

and our mobility? Where's our reaper / stalker / colossus that can ignore cliffs?

Granted I suck, but I hate sucking even more in SC2. Just waiting to see if I am going to get demolished with banshees, tanks, thors, marauders or whatever else terrans can make with one base every game

Once the ladder falls apart due to hacking and so on, all the usual stuff that kills them, you'll start playing good custom maps and I bet most of these problems will be solved.

I lol'd, surprised so many losses to P though; I thought ZvT was the main issue. Also surprised you encountered so many random users, I barely ever get matched with a random player.

Zerg is the new Terran, I think about switching to Zerg (playing random now) for the pure frustration that comes with it .

I also went on a 6ish game losing streak in pvp.
I have since decided that pvp is broken and started doing the 4 gateway 5 proxy pylon zealot warp in build, and have been 7/7 since. :|

Just got raped by mass reaper on steppes. Like 3 rax reaper, I don't even know how you'd beat it other than 1 base roach. I went baneling cause its steppes so it was like instant loss, most notable loss today. But even if you beat it with roach, they still have 3 rax with tech labs so its a matter of time til marauder

4-11 so far today, below 500 pts now. A shit ton of protoss

Every game I play I'm dealing with a different opening, rarely do I see it coming ahead of time. Epecially terrans.. Mass banshee, blue fire, void ray, 4 gate, reaper, marine marauder, mech, hidden collosus etc. Almost every game i'm trying to hold on until ultra, just defending whatever horrible shit is coming my way.

I know I'm a big crybaby, but I just don't understand, from a design perspective, how fucked and limited Zerg is compared to the other races. It feels like half a race.

Damn.. I'm actually considering switching to zerg because it seemed to have a lot of tactics that fit my style. I dont feel qualified to say if anyone is imba/weak etc, but from my (limited) perspective, zerg seemed like it had a harsher learning curve.

Still gonna try it out though. I love what zerg have to offer in theory. Hope it turns out to be funner than you're making it sound

The advantage to zerg is that you have an excuse every time you lose. You can explain away pretty much every loss whereas with protoss, you can really only explain losing to terran. And in the 10-15% of games that you lose as Terran, there can be no explanation, it's a tough pill to swallow

I play zerg because watching my supply go from 200 to 100, then back to 200 in the span of a minute is fun. "You killed my army? Have another"

Plain and simple, I'd have to agree and I think Zerg is a bit weak for the average to good player. (sure it rocks at IdrA skill level, but how many people are at IdrA skill level?) Anyway, I switched to Terran and even though I'm not even a Terran player and I don't fully understand the builds, my win ratio has gone through the roof. If I can vastly improve my win ratio just by choosing another race, I'm feeling more and more convinced that Zerg is underpowered at the moment for the average player.
