I would say Terran because the strategies you have to use against each race are more drastically different than any other race, along with all the management needed and the fact that some normal armies are almost completely dependent on 3 or so units using their special abilities.

Zerg is hard, but it has the same groundwork on all 3 matchups and the deviation is not as far spread.

Depends on the matchup, the level you play at and to some extent the map.
For all intents and purposes the races are all equally difficult I would say :o

How can Terran be the most difficult race when it's always up to the opposing race to stop the unstoppable ball...

Because both Zerg and Protoss have the chance to outexpand and severely outmacro the Terran before the "unstoppable" ball comes in to play.

zvp is pretty fucking different from zvz. ZVT is also way different than the other two match ups...

You know I wonder if even a quater of the people talking about xyz race has even played xyz race on a serious degree, at all?

The hardest is Terran. The softest is Zerg. Protoss is somewhere in the middle with their squishy Archons and not so squishy Zealots.
this is my quote.

I think that Terran is the hardest race unless they go mech vs zerg, cause that's just WAY easier than bio vs zerg, and in that case I'd have to vote for Zerg as being harder.
THE ANSWER IS 288

No I did not.


Then why do I see you respond to an argument that says Terran is more different in the matchups than Zerg with an argument that says Zerg is different in matchups?

For me bio is much easier? I can't play mech even if my life depended on it. It's individual

Zerg over Terran a fair bit imo, just because you gotta macro and micro with Zerg, and with Terran you can do a lot more with just good micro. However stop lurkers and good muta micro can make it kinda rough for Terran, so I wouldn't say they are necessarily easy either. Though it's a lot easier to screw around with the Zerg as a Terran (proxies, blocking ramp and making zerg guess what is going on, etc.). On the other hand, the only real cheese zerg has is any pool below 9.

Protoss is simply not included in the argument. I know that by experience because I switched from toss to zerg a few months ago, and I really realized how little I knew about the game back as a toss (hell I'm not even good now, but you guys get my point).

Well honestly protoss is out of the question so the arguement is just between Z and T. For a long time I've always had a lot of respect for good foreign zergs and I've always considered it difficult to play. ZvZ is a frustrating and unforgiving matchup (although not as boring as TvT) and is much more difficult to win. ZvP seemed impossible from a terran standpoint as I watch any zerg get rolled over by a protoss who sits there with his dick in his hand in his base the entire game. ZvT I always thought was a fun matchup and equally difficult for both races.

Nowadays though I'm honestly leading towards terran. ZvT honestly to me seems easier and easier every game I play against a zerg. Dark swarm control at first seemed so difficult but now its just so fucking imbalanced. Now that I play with zergs with upwards of 220 apm It feels like all they have to do is run lurkers in and put swarms up. No need for expansions, macro, anything. Just mass lurkers and get a few defilers with swarm. Any terran who goes SK just loses because Its so fucking hard to try to constantly kill lurkers with marines while macroing from a ton of barracks. Heavy tank is kind of easy vrs zerg but zerg just kills vessels and you are fucked because it seems like the zerg has so much more map control in the mid game and its impossible to take a third base. ZvP Protoss have just been getting raped lately, the 5 hatch spire+hydra bo is so fucking strong that any zerg can just sit on lair and mass hydras and have a chance vrs protoss now. Still takes decent amount of micro or macro but it just seems loads easier now.

My records:

P: 5/21
Z: 6/24
T: 3/147 (/quit SC)

Using that HUGE sampling size () I'll go as far to say that Terran is the hardest race for me to play.

It just proves that you completly suck with any race. At also proves that terran is the hardest to play on the lowest noob level.

from my experience, I think Z is hardest.

I really have a big time with the hive tech .. specially defiler >
And I also find it hard to manage larva vs drone vs units.. I always end up with to many drone and not enough units..

Zerg is the hardest solely because of how little room for error there is compared to the other races. then when you add how hard their micro is most of the time(lurkerling, muta control, muta vs scourge), the terren ball(MnM not EZPZ mech shit) is the only other thing that can compare.
