Protoss are pissing me off more than ever this ICCUP season. I have become pretty pissed off at times, raging out at players, telling them to play a real race, putting 1A2A3A and IMBA PROTOSS in caps before leaving in a huff.

Come on....

To be honest I think walling in saves T alot of times.

But yeah storms seem to be so imbalanced. 4 templars just wipe out all my tanks :o

i do watch progamers vods, but as I said, at a higher level, any imbalance Protoss may have (and it may well be none) would be negated by the skill of the players themselves. For someone like me who is comparatively speaking just starting out, it is a different ball game.

So you want to watch pro gamers get destroyed by the same build that owns you rather than watch them overcome it? Come on, man. Watch the VODs, even if the players are quite obviously better; the end result is the same. How they play vs that build is what you're aiming for.

At least in the early game.

Im pretty sure the op would've been owned just as hard if he played protoss vs zerg, but oh snap, then he wouldnt have had an excuse for losing.

OUCH! Lol maybe you are right. I am not sure. What I do know is that I pretty clearly stated that I keep losing because I suck, not because Protoss is imbalanced. Hell, deep down, I know it isn't imbalanced, it is just that, in the hands of better players, it seems that way. They micro their zealots well, they position their storms properly etc.

As for the guy who mentioned VOD's, watching the pro's deflect the builds does help, but in the end situations like that come down to micro, and you cannot learn micro watching some pro play, you have to do it yourself. That is why I have been playing a lot against it, getting friends to do the build against me.

It's not like you have to stick with a particular race.
I started off as a Terran player, but then people started complaining about how Z>P.
So I changed to Z to abuse that match-up.
After the new maps/ FE style I changed to protoss.

If you're already at a high level with one race I see why you might be reluctant to change, but you're at a low level anyway so it doesn't really matter. Maybe you'll play protoss for a bit, realise their shortcomings and become a stronger zerg player.

Or just stop making excuses, you do mention you lose because you suck, so just leave it at that, no need to incite race related flaming.
No I'm never serious.

i so feel with you.im in the same situation. protoss just pisses me off
for me a 2gate is incredible hard to beat. but as you said im getting better at it every time...
the normal fe-toss:
i often read that the key to beat low-level protoss is just to outmacro them.....ok! so i take my bases while he sits behind his fe-cannons teching up to HTs/reaver.i get a crapload of ctrl-groups hyds/lings ... and then? can someone tell me how to follow up or give me some advice on hive-timing? normally if i managed to get a good early game i just try to prevent his 3rd but i lose soo much doing this due to HTs/reaver/drops (scourge are soo stupid!). when i somehow got behind during early game he just pushes out and steamrolls my bases with his toss-super-mixed ball (zeals,goons,ht,archons). its seems so much easier for a 100apm player to throw around 3 storms raping a gazillion zerg units in 2 seconds than dodging it with 4 groups of cute zerg units
oh btw: the tech switch to mutas after the initial hydras worked for me quite well almost everytime i did it. think i saw it in a jaedong game 1-2 months ago.
