Hello all, this Kronos here. First off I wanna say the only reason I blog is I find it fun to do and it's nice to share my thoughts with other people. That said, I guess I will start talking about what I did today. Today I switched back from Zerg to Protoss. The weird thing was, I switched right after I finished practicing with my coach, who had worked me up to about diamond level as Zerg. At the end of our training session he said I was really improving and I was probably at a diamond level.

At this point, I was really feeling good about myself. I had learned the "arguably" hardest race in Starcraft 2. But that was just it. I mean, at this point, I was really enjoying improving my zerg play and working my way up, but it seemed I wasn't really having that much fun playing. I decided to switch back to Protoss, which I was already at a diamond level. I played a few customs and I felt I was having twice the fun of when I played as Zerg.

One thing to keep in mind for players who play different races is, unless you plan on playing competitively or even going "pro", is that you never have to stick with one race. Whenever I feel bored you can always play the race you like and have fun. That's the whole point of Starcraft 2, isn't it?

In conclusion, I feel the entire point of Starcraft 2 is to have fun. If you ever feel bored or angered over imbalance, just play a few games as offrace or even screw around in some customs. I hope you all enjoyed this post, please tell me what you think!!!

Hey, micronesia here. Changing races can definitely be fun... starcraft isn't all about winning! Last time I was laddering on sc2 a little while back I was just doing random... it wasn't great since my t overpowers my z so much that I usually would lose z matches, but it still made playing so much less of a chore.

Yeah, gaming should never EVER feel like something you have to do, or as you said, a chore.

Yeah. Do that. If you follow a solid BO for each matchup, you shouldn't fall below your current division, if you are somewhere in the middle.
