wow two very bold statements: protoss is hardest to master, and mondragon not good?!

Although I hate to admit it but I'd have to say Terran.

TvZ, you just have to put so much focus on your army, and one little slip-up in your timing or formation can fuck the whole attack up. Unlike PvZ where there are times when you can get away with just A-clicking, TvZ requires your complete attention, and I also feel that it is much harder to macro because marines and medics are made so quickly and are so cheap, so it requires a bit more management to fully utilize all your money. And it only gets harder as the game progresses mainly because of swarm, which isn't as big a problem in PvZ imo.

TvP. This matchup is just hard because of your immobility during early/mid game and the annoyance of reaver harass. Also it's very hard to deal with toss players who decide to whore expansions when you go one fact -> CC, and get run over when you do eventually decide to push out. You can do a great deal of vulture harass to even the economy difference out but it's extremely easy for P players to defend against vulture harass, just a few well-placed cannons will do. Also carriers... Even with goliaths, the P player just needs to hit and run away to cliffs, whereas TvP players have to pull their hairs and run around the whole map with their goliaths and do a great deal of micro just to take down one of those damn blimps..

I voted Terran.
I think, of all races were micro/macroed by a computer perfectly, Terran would be unstopable.

At least, TvT would be exiting

Because Protoss might be hard compared to GDI, but compared to Terran mechanics or Zerg constant decision making in macro it is easy mode.

the only real statement this poll makes is which race is the noob race - protoss!
funny that only protoss users disagree, everybody who played zerg and terran knows that toss is for noobs. with terran u need insane mechanics to be good, with zerg u need good mechanics and good tactical understanding to go anywhere, while with protoss mediocre mechanics and a certain level of stupidity is not much of a problem.

I honestly think it's Zerg, controlling swarms of weak units is hard

Protoss is easy ~_~

I thought Protoss required the most game sense?

Well in TvP the Flash build has lately freed up immobility early-mid game with the anti harass :O

I played a zvt yesterday and it just reminded me how ridiculous that mu is for both sides. Little goofs can cost you a whole fucking army in less than 5 seconds. All the units are so fragile.

i played protoss for what 3yrs?? and i thnk dey r easiest in terms of getting to master every unit/move but as for actually which race has it hardest against other races, its also protoss.. yeap terran needs more apm/micro and yes zrg needs solid macro and good engaging time but with protoss, you can master every unit, do every strategy and good macro and still lose.. its like, simply, in late games, protoss is always disadvantaged against zerg or terran.. lets see, crackling crazy overlord drop everywhere mass exand zrg or crazy 3/3 full up terran with 200/200 unit and just moving out with mass tank/gols.. hence, it may be easiest race to master, but the better you get at it, the harder you'll find to win with protoss.. S.I.G.H!!!!
What is difference between ignorance and apathy?? i dont know and i dont care..
