I was just wondering if anyone else find Protoss boring in SC2? They were my mainrace in BW and I used to love them, but after only a few weeks I were bored of them in SC2. After that I tried playing random, and I found that I won more with both zerg and terran, even though I've never played them before, compared to my 100s of matches with Protoss.
I just don't know why, but it's something with it that's really boring me. I feel that every match end up the same, and it's just not fun to play with them!

So what I'm wondering is: does anyone else feel like this, or is this my fault? If so, how can I make it more interesting?

Protoss is currently the most one dimensional race, so yes it's boring, hope they make some more changes before release.

To each his own. Ya robo openings are boring but by no means do I find protoss boring as a whole. Perhaps try a new race?

Protoss isn't boring, actually its the most fun race to play, Zerg is the most "defensive/boring" do far imo

Protoss is pretty boring. Unforunately, I can't handle:

"We requirrrrrrre morrrrrrrrre meeneerallllllllllllsssssssszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

or that pretentious Terran voice telling me what to do.

So I fight for Aiur :D

Well, my favourite race is zerg

And yes, robo openings are very boring, but you really have to do it to get an observer to scout and detect! Or if you want photon cannons as detectors in your base you have to go forge, which is also boring :p

Have you ever seen -orb- play? I'd say protoss is plenty of fun!

protoss is far from boring in my book. they added many interesting abilites and units. well if you only play proxygate and 4gate allin then it might be pretty boring.

I assume you were sarcastic, and if you were I guess I have to explain better:
that whole forge-defensive-photon-cannon-play is boring, I think

not the building itself, ofcourse.

i honestly think protoss were so much more boring in broodwar, zealot+goon a-move worked for me a lot of the times except against zerg, but that's why pvz was my favorite matchup because you had to have corsair / HT / archon etc, and in sc2 you need more than just zeal+stalker vs any race or youll get steamrolled so i dont see how it could be more boring plus you have way more spells than in sc1... sentries have 3 spells stalkers have a spell, phoenixes liftoff ground units and you still have HT's so...

My main race in SC was Protoss and I still main Protoss in SC2. The charm that the race had in SC still transfer to the sequel in my eyes and ears. Once the game releases, I might not main Protoss because I will try out the other 2 races more since I played mainly Protoss in the beta.

I was Protoss in both BW and SC2. I am not sure how it compares to other races for SC2 but I think it's pretty fun. It's enjoyable to discover how things work differently for the new game and such

I'm pretty much in the same boat. I agree with I got a little bored with robo openings so I experimented with blink, stargate, fast expand builds instead and did alright with those

IMO, protoss are the hardest of the races microwise. macro it's pretty damn straight forward, waprgates...spam em. so, it's boring in the macro, but the micro involved balances it out alright.

I think Protoss is the most fun, there's a lot of really fun abilities like Forcefield, Blink, and Pheonix's pickup (forgot name).

As a Terran player I find myself wishing I got to use small, skill-based things like Forcefield and Blink all the time.
