Playing Zerg is just so much easier, you have a small icon at the bottom right of your screen to tell you how many larva you have available and you have a special hotkey just for it to select larva and make units, you can hotkey creep tumors and you don't have re-hotkey them every time you make a new one, you have really good ground-to-air options for unit composition and you don't have to worry about battle micro much because you can just fungal all their units in place with your tier 1 infestors, I just don't see why I would switch to Protoss, it's too hard to play.

Oh and of course we have units that can move underground at a very rapid pace and attack while burrowed, and teleport up and down cliffs, Protoss only have this weird unit that takes 20 seconds to build and when it does they can spawn units from it one-by-one. Except they can also just make a cheap building and warp units in from anywhere so I don't know why they'd ever use that other thing - I don't even know what it's called.

You mixed up sentries with templars, for the rest you're quite correct.

(At first glance storm might look the most equal to fungal cause they're both aoe, but in terms of functionality the sentry does fill a much more comparable role to the Infestor, and the Sentry is indeed tier 1.)

Cuz the TLGODS are too busy wanking at milf porn in the mothers basement.

You better watch your language when you want to keep your TL account.
The mods and the staff deserve at least some respect.

To the thread: Everything depends on player and his / her (sc2 isnt only for men!) playstyle.
In this case, using word "hard" is like beginning every sentence in an essay with "i think".

why complaining about toss when you are good at zerg??? are you really that bored???

You almost had his point captured in your first paragraph, but he's not talking about templars, he's alluding to sentries and their ability to FF in order to "lock" units in place.

OP's entire post is a troll extolling the virtues of playing Toss by pretending that Z has all of the same options. It should be fairly obvious to anyone with a brain that he's actually QQing about toss being powerful, and zerg being weak. OP makes this obvious by posting a number of ironic statements:

0) Zerg's anti-air in the beginning of the game is relatively weak, but toss get stalkers fairly early, and they are fantastic anti-air.
1) There is no ability to hotkey creep tumours without re-hotkeying them when you pop a new one, but toss has a warp-in hotkey that never needs to be changed
2) There is no little icon telling z how many larva they have, nor is there a hotkey that allows you to automatically select larva, but toss has a little icon and a hotkey for warp-in
3) Infestors are "tier 2" (lair), not "tier 1" (hatch), but sentries are "tier 1" (insofar as toss has 'tiers) and can lock units in place with FFs
4) Zerg have no units that can teleport up and down cliffs, but toss has blink stalkers
5) Warp-Gate is awesome :p

Anyone who takes OP's post seriously really need to get some fresh air.
Teamwork is awesome... As long as your team is doing all the work!
