I have a protoss friend who finished top 70 in grandmasters. He uses 1 hotkey all game. He uses 1 for nexus and never hotkeys anything else afterward. O_O Think of how good your friend could be if he hotkeyed! Honestly though you don't expect to take one instance of your friend being good at this game and say generally toss has easier macro are you? That just doesn't make sense. I think it's really too hard to say definitively whose race has the hardest macro because it's so subjective! Oh well. The quest for balance continues. EDIT: Reread your post, and it seems that what you're saying is that going 4dddaaaa5ss6dd is much more difficult that going Wsccczcccecc5c. And then looking back at your buildings to chrono them.

People love the underdog, and a lot of sc2 players are competitive which means they want to showcase their skill. Who wants to play terran when everyone nobody will respect you for your hard earned wins? What better way to show of your skill than winning with the "hard" race, so many chose zerg. Protoss was somewhat neutral, people just picked it because they liked it. Over time these competitive players who were specifically looking for a challenge by playing the hardest race played more and improved, because they are more motivated by their image/rank. While the more casual players did not play so often. Thus zergs tended to rank up and improve compared to terrans, resulting in the current state of having mostly zergs in the higher leagues. This was very obvious to me last season, the top 8 of my division consisted of 7 zergs and a protoss, zergs tend to play way more games than the other races. I agree with this so much lol. It was never my main reason but when I played terran in bw I always had this self pride inside since terran was always considered the hardest to play in bw. And its also why protoss has always turned me off alittle because of the whole protoss is the easiest race idea. | ||
