................ I'm so angry right now and I just don't know a better way to get off with my anger. I seriously believe that Terran vs Protoss is Terran favored if you play it right and know how to abuse Terran to the right amount, but I just fucking can't do it.

When I try to drop, he has an observer that spotted it, blink stalkers in position or a warp in ready. When I take big fights and EMP perfectly and all his colossus die to my vikings I win the fight and lose because I cannot beat the reinforcements.

I fail to understand the timings and mechanics of the match up totally. I don't know how I can expand, don't die to timings while having enough units to pressure myself. When I send out a drop I seem to have not enough units to do a harass in multiple places or create pressure. A Terran army is also so fragile to balance. If you have too much vikings, you miss firepower. If you have too low medivac count you miss healing power. If you have not enough marines, chargelot kill you. If you have too many, colossus and storm ownes you.

I seriously have no clue, since no matter how I open or how I play, I seem to run into counters blindly or just perform really bad. Sometimes I throw away due to overagression... but I just cant SIT and do nothing and wait for Protoss to move in the open... but all my harass attemps are shut down with so much precision.. that I end up being 5 base vs 5 base.. which is not a good situation.

I can win the maxed out battles, but I can never win against reinforcements, since Protoss reinforcements are nearly instant while mine are not......... FML.

Thus why I switched to Zerg. I can ZvP pretty well, I cannot TvP at all.

Maybe watching some replays of some typical PvT games would help? Take notice of specific things in each viewing of the replay. Watch the replay once for timings, once for Protoss drop weaknesses, ect.

That's what I do when I need help with a matchup.

Play Protoss for like 2-3 weeks, You will make a post saying SCREW TERRAN, my timings always get crushed he can pull all his scvs and still not be out of the game after holding my attack, If I scout late I don't get to see into his base tell I get obs. EMP kills everything way to fast Plus getting double prong attacked 40 times in a game is very taxing I am afraid to expo. It's always greener on the other side man.

I understand how frustrating this game is so I won't say much, but coming from a Protoss player.

Its not that easy. Terran are tough. ♥

To this day I have no idea how to confront the Raven+Banshee(s)+Marines+Tanks timing attack beyond 4-Gating the guy before he has a chance to build any of it behind his Bunker (complete gamble on my part, since I can't scout without Hallu or an Observer).

Luckily for me, nobody bothers to do it anymore.

Hear hear.

The most frustrating part of it for me is that Protoss colossus builds are so dumb easy, but so strong. A-move, forcefields, then micro colossus. Terran has to spread three different control groups, EMP, PDD, and then kite both MM and vikings. GAH.

I made a similair blog venting and got banned within a minute. Your getting away with this?

In regards to the post, I 100% agree. I feel that the MU is actully decently balanced, the problem though is that the T has to literally play 5x better than the protoss to win once you get into late game. Its just so hard at a master league level to pull off stutter step micro the enitre game while dropping expoing macroing and doing multi prong attacks. Where as toss just needs to defend til ciritcal mass of agteway/archon or collsi builds and from there on they just need to land some decent ff and they are set. It is very consistent and easier to pull off. Thats probably why you are losing. You have to lift 250 lbs they have to lift 100....

I'm probably too low on the ladder to have an objective view but I've found agression can have such an effect on the progress of a game. I play Protoss and I have similar problems to you, I think because I don't ever push out after my first scouts. if you get a colossus-building Protoss before he's got 2 or 3 he is screwed because you can go kill him as Day[9] says.

When i read that title on my iphone i read scre potatoes lol

I too have loads of trouble with terran, i can only manage tvt anf protoss has made me mad since bw days. i think the matchup always ends with 1 failed attack where the p ball owns all your air, because rebuilding it is a pain
