When I decided to get serious about StarCraft, I picked Protoss. I was absolutely worthless at the game, so I picked the easiest race and just focused on macroing. I macroed my way to C+ without any game sense or strategy what so ever.
Then as I actually got decent at the game (B), I felt like I wanted to play Zerg more because they suit me better. I like being all over the map, doing multi pronged attacks and harassing a lot. But I just couldn't get over how shit ZvZ is, so I stuck with Protoss.
I've finally decided to switch to Zerg, 66% of the time :D I play ZvT, ZvP, and PvZ, which brings me to my question:
What do you guys think about racepicking? Obviously if I run into another racepicker we might have some issues. Do you think it's lame? Do you think it's fine?
Anyway, I've been playing Zerg, and it's absolutely awesome! although I love Protoss and Zerg equally as far as playstyle goes, Zerg just suits me and my skillset better.'
Edit: Switching my icon from Dragoon to Hydralisk. OH YEAH!

Good luck :D I was zerg/protoss in broodwar, so I (don't) know what it feels like to switch races and be good (because I SUCKED).
|
I've wanted to switch to zerg for some time now, but every time I tried to through with it I got demoralized by how bad I am with it. Being able to play several races and even race picking can only be a good thing imo.

Zerg is too hard. I am satisfied with just having a zerg icon :3
|
I used to play...ZvP ZvT and TvZ......even though I said that I mained Terran. >.>
After that I switched completely to Terran.
Best decision of my life.

Oh how I love microing mutalisks.......

I think it's perrfectly fine and understandable, but honestly, you're missing out an awesome matchup with ZvZ, it's really awesome to play ! Anyway, welcome to the dark side =)

I tried ZvZ and it is not for me, man
I don't like watching it and I don't like playing it.

So many people hate ZvZ. It's difficult to find someone who will willingly play that matchup. Racepicking is fine, but I personally never avoid any matchup. Zerg ftw!
|
Good luck with ZERG Mr vOddy!
|
I think it's fine to racepick, never had any problems with people that do it. I think it's cool knowing that people can play more than one race (even if it's only for 1 mu) at a high level
|
RacePicking is so hard. A long time ago I had the idea to go tvz, tvp, and pvt to avoid tvt. Of course focusing on Protoss for a bit left my Terran completely out of shape and now I play pvall.

I may be a Protoss player, but I absolutely love ZvZ, both playing and watching. It's often short and isn't very diverse, however it is a very tense MU that can end in a flash.
Oh and did I mention muta micro is pretty much the most awesome thing ever.

I cant wait until you start playing ZvT and realize what a horrible mistake you've made.
|
racepicking is awesome, but harder to practice both because you need to develop different skillsets for each race, instead of similar patterns all the time

Thanks for the subtlety.

I usually ban people that do it from my games.
