and B) Marines with combat shields look so, so awesome. They are simply the coolest to me. Zerg looks mushy and all the same, and Protoss just seems to operate in a huge blob all the time. | ||

I don't want to pick a race yet until there's a race I'm clearly better with. I seem to be going towards Terran but I can't tell if that's just because Marauders were so good (I've only played Terran once in patch 8). | ||

The reasons why had a lot to do with my brother playing protoss, since zerg were basically the opposite of them (Protoss were Quality > Quantity when Zerg were Quantity > Quality). I liked the whole swarm mechanic, and I also loved the hydralisk/lurkers. Not to mention the Zerg campaign was baller. | ||

Why i like Zerg ? Because they are fast, u get shitload of units and can reveal the entire map with overlords. And also because they look scary and disgusting. | ||

Reading about SC2 and in the first couple weeks without a beta key, I was sure as shit going to be playing Terran. Marauders looked awesome, ghosts and nukes were so cool. Siege tanks have always been really interesting. Once I saw the reaper, I was completely sold. The possibilities of the things you could do with terran were mind boggling. The bio + medivac army works so well together, and gives you the possibility of drops (4-8 stimmed maurauders DESTROY your main in seconds). I think I'm still best as terran, but I don't quite enjoy them as much as I had at first hoped. In a interesting twist of irony, terran became repetitive so I started learning SC2 zerg. Zerg helps me make up for some of my weaker points. I let money pile up while I micro my army and then suddenly I'm sitting on 2k/2k. That's okay as zerg because 10 seconds later I've spent it all and a new army is born. I also feel like zerg pushes me to improve. I scout a lot better with zerg because I don't feel like a few lings is a waste the way a marine might be. I love a mobile army and I love how fast the units move. I've never played protoss beyond the sc1 campaign and have never been interested in the "summon building" mechanic (SC and WC3). I do think zealots and dark templars are hella cool. But that's about it. I sometimes toy with the idea of learning toss to be able to play random but I'm not attracted to their "oomph". | ||

The Protoss would have been a much better choice. They are the advanced civilization, they have (I admit) the coolest and most high-tech animations of all three races, and they are also the easiest race to master. But, they still did not work for me. I do not like going too easy. I like a little challenge. The Terran is my home race. I use it almost always. They are humans, like us. Mercenaries, but still human. They are incredibly mobile, as they have dropships (now medivacs), versatile infantry choices, and the ability to change the course of battle anywhere anytime. Although people believe the Terran's tendency to "turtle" is a disadvantage, I see it as great strategy. I like defensive gameplay, as it allows more macro as well as longer games. But, should the game become to get too long, I can always (as the Terrans are best known for) make a timing push against my opponent. Then again, maybe it's just because of the nuke. It's the best ability in the history of Starcraft no doubt about that! | ||

Started out with Terran. Liked their new harass options and the fact that an MMM ball was now possible for someone with poor marine micro to use.  Found I didn't like their mule/scan mechanic and MBS was actually hindering me more than helping me.Went zerg and haven't looked back. I am a bit disappointed that their harass options have been scaled back, but i like inject larvae, creep spawning, the ability to quickly tech switch and to control a 200/200 army on one hotkey. And the new, more fluid motions of large groups of zerglings or banelings are just so cool looking. | ||

"Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind; the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me." No other race could replace Zerg in my heart after that. | ||

After that I started watching streams (before I had a beta key) and often watched a guy named Wr3k (in game name Cynic I believe). He was so fun to watch that I really started to quickly understand Zerg much more than any other race. Once I received my beta key it just felt natural and more comfortable playing Zerg. Haven't looked back since. | ||

Protoss or terran also seemed easiest to me to pick up after coming from several other RTS games, I hadn't played sc1 in a long time so zerg is more difficult to start with.Zerg's larvae macro is just so different from other RTS whereas terran and toss aren't. Zerg unfortunately also feels the most repetetive with a limited number of units early on. Terran and protoss have more/better support units that make them more interesting to me. | ||

Every day I think about switching to Toss but I love Zerg and I really hope that we will get something that makes our play more fun and diversed instead of the extreme streamlined choices we have today. | ||

Because it's the most complicated race. Units depend on each other moreso than in other 2 races. Unlike Protoss and Zerg which seem like hordes of evil, Terran was always reminiscent of stuff like Power Rangers, where parts combine to create something great. Also, building shit with these new addons is weird as fuck, but rewarding - another great plus for my masohistic, do-things-hard-way personality. | ||

It kind of sucks becase I was a Toss player in SC1, but the new macro mechanics take too much APM for me. I prefer to micro my army, not play sim-city and and attack-move my army. With zerg I can do both. | ||

in BW i played Z, and then P, whenever i played T it felt good, but it was too hard i found SC2 is different, Terran seems to flow nicely compared to Z and just the overall play style fits me better I find. | ||

terran is boring protoss' units are stupid (dragoon, probe - back than my probes used to stop mining for w/e reason) that was a long time ago, and i didnt have enough time to play, so i sticked to one race, to be somewhat competitive with it, i got to like them, so i'm sticking to them in sc2 as well | ||
