If you like playing Terran than don't switch. Otherwise watch pro replays and get a build for each matchup, I would recommend going Colossus though, easiest way to start playing Toss

How good are all your friends? Unless they just happen to be GM, tell them to learn their place in the SC2 hierarchy (hell, even if they're GM NA they're not exactly top of the line in the big picture) and to humble up a little bit before talking about balance. Nothing annoys me more than low level players talking as if they have monopoly on balance knowledge and game understanding.

Play terran, and if your friends bug you about it, you can:

1) Not care

2) Laugh as you destroy them all and watch them cry (figuratively and literally)

3) Give them the finger while humping the air (this option is somewhat less recommended)

Uh yeah... just make warpgates, keep macro up. Make cannons to defend your 3rd vs pretty much every race. =p

1. Drop them with warp prisms - point out how similar it is to medvac drops
2. Kill their mineral lines with DTs - point out how similar it is to cloak banshees
3. Mass Void Rays - Lol
4. Use forcefields - point out how powerful they are
5. Mass colossus - point out how powerful they are, just like tanks.
6. Mono battle with stalkers - point out how they're versatile like marines
7. Explain that it's the quality of your play relative to theirs- not the race you're playing- that's the problem. Point out they're pussies.
8. Switch back to Terran

Carrier rush, warpgates, expand a tonne. Protoss needs a lot more gas than you might be used to from playing as Terran.
