I play Zerg and Terran. I like zerg mobility and controlling waves of zerg units and annihilating the enemy.
Always found Terran units themselves cool, like marines and siege tanks, and also the ability to annihilate an opponent's army with one round of tank fire or spider mines.
I guess I like to annihilate things.
I disliked Protoss from the beginning cause their units are boring and gay. Seriously what the fuck is a dragoon, it's just ridiculous. At least zerg represents something animalistic and Terran advanced human technology but Protoss units are like a wet dream for fantasy novel dweebs.
As for why Protoss players tend to (map)hack more, I think Protoss has the most to gain from maphack. Their race is designed to have limited intelligence (much like their users?), because with better scouting abilities, they would be too powerful.
no idea why people bash protoss so much on these forums. imo, protoss is the hardest race and the least gay race, its the only race where you cant win off pure mechanics, you actually need to have a brain to play protoss, z and t is 95% mechanics. i mean i know these days its all about macro/micro, but just because i dont have 250 apm doesnt mean i suck, and when i beat the hundreds of lame 250 apm players when i only have 150, they probably all log onto tl.net and post 'protoss takes no skill, this guy with half my apm just raped me WTFIMBA?' sorry, no, im just a better starcraft player

ZvT: Ok well terran are not as bad- however they still succumb to at times being huge pussies. At worse you get a terran who proxies everything, and bunker rushes and does some tricky early drop ship play. Trying to take out my knees and not fight head on. Little bastards. (IMO) Besides that terran start off well- huge group of MnM and get out there and roll. However the head on battles that i enjoy with a terran early game army are short lived. Soon tanks. wtf........ lets just sit 123981345 miles away perfectly safe and blast the shit out of you ok? well that is some bs however i am willing to look past this little problem, because what comes next just brings my piss to a boil. Now this is what for me ruins the whole terran race, and it is the following. That fucking cloud of sci vessles. Need i say more? ohh hell yes. First off those mothers are quick, i mean really quick- so trying to kill them before they go and decide to hover over their sea of MnM is actually quite difficult. Do you know what else is difficult? Watching all of your drones die because two vessles splooged on each other and are now happily fly above your min line killing everything. woo hoo.
Terran players: same as above I don't know their personality types- TL plz help me fill in this blank as well
Feel free to add/flame anything.
OK, here comes the flame. Terrans being huge pussies? NOT CHARISMATIC??? BOXER?? ILOVEOOV???????
Bunker rush is being a pussy? Damn you can't be higher than D skill. It takes real skill to pull of a bunker rush, that's why Boxer is so epic. Science vessels? I find it damn hard to keep them alive, and you find it hard to kill them. Just play better man. Terrans start of with drop? Nice, it's easy to defend. Zerg starting of with lurker drop? The same thing.
You are too narrow minded and I guess you have never even tried the other races. You can only be good if you play all races.
Terran personality types: BOXER!!!! Do I need to say more?? ILOVEOOV???

i play mainly terran and zerg primarily.
I play zerg terran style and I play terran zerg style.
Works wonders.
For terran, taking 3-4 bases against a zerg is gg, especially when you equate marine-medic as lurk-ling. My control is pretty good against lurks and mutas these days, and I do lots of drops, so what usually happens is I get BCs and no amount of ultraling can fight that.
For zerg, I usually produce about 18 lings at the beginning to scout and contain, sometimes if I scout 1rax cc with no bunker i use a few lings to harass scvs and bait marines to get flanked followed by muta/hydra. hehehe.
I'm generally good with keeping units alive though, especially lings.

Now as far as protoss players personality types: I don't have much to go on so TL im hoping that some of you will help to fill in the blanks
I'm a manipulating asshole with an elitist undertone. I think this fits Protoss players pretty well.
EDIT: The fact that everyone calls our race the pussy race is like adding more sand to our vaginas, so people call us dicks and pussies more, and the cycle keeps repeating.

i think terran is easy, all i do is execute builds w/ logic behind them tvz and I have enjoyed great succes with that even though I've played Zerg far more and am not even close to as succesfull with that race.
4 raxing foreign z's gives you as much right to talk about racial balance as dt droppers

I am Better with Protoss, but Zerg is closer to me. The aggresivity where I can outsmart my opponent by tech switches, zerglings all over the map and forcing the other one to adapt reflects my personality...

personality does affect race and even unit choice from my experience. i guess by how much varies on different people

Nice contribution, think to check the thread date? -.0
|
several threads are being necro'd recently....
I don't think that race reflects personality, it'd show more in the play style.
|
Thread necromancy is morally wrong.
|
depends, if you like to be aggressive go for zerg, just something like that

wow Protoss is not easy... just cause a noob won't die in the first 10 min of the game doesn't mean its easier

Personality doesn't affect race.
Interests do.
I've played all 3 over the years--during that time, I chose the race that I felt I could be creative with, or aggressive with, or just whatever the current cool race of the time was. I play zerg now b/c of it's possibilities by watching Jaedong. I've played since 98'
So, I enforce again, personality doesn't affect race--typically more so after meeting players at LAN events.
I think it's the same as asking someone if they think their favorite fruit of the day is affected by their personality.

protoss is less apm intensive, and I don't see anything particularly wrong with that 
Races just play differently and reward different styles in different ways... All 3 have a wide array of strategies available.
|
1. I'm lazy
2. I love taking shortcuts
3. I love pissing people off
4. I don't like to practice piano, or anything for that matter
5. I'd rather be eating and sleeping more than anything else
I play protoss.

There is a very broad definition for personality. But yes, I think it does.
|
I can't stand playing Terran more because of their build style than anything. I play zerg only because my friend saw boxer VODs when we were both SC noobs and wanted to bunker rush some zergs. I was practically forced to play zerg so I just stuck with it (he got bored of SC really fast but I kept playing). I offrace protoss occasionally but prefer zerg. I can't think of why I would like zerg exactly, though.
|
um no it doesn't... there are only 3 races... yet so many personalities...

Fixed(Boxer is waay more notable),
In response to the original post: While I don't always like watching someone like Flash, I realize turtling is sometimes integral to terran play. Aggression could be suicide in those cases.
