Protoss is too hard to play

Supposed to be funny I'm assuming.

But it isn't.

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 think Protoss is hard? I play Terran. Try making marines. JUST MARINES. MAYBE I can fit the stimpack upgrade in there somewhere.
Why do I do this instead of playing standard? Well, Terran has awful late-game, what with Banshees not being good at all, Battlecruisers only good against units that can't shoot air, and Vikings having their ground-mode damage being next to nothing. I have to worry if I have the perfect amount of Marauders, cause too few and I can only kill 5 Colossi with 40 marines, and too many and the Zerg player uses Mutas!
Terran needs a buff badly.

I'm a Zerg player and I tried playing Protoss a little bit but it's just too hard. 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 climb cliffs at a very rapid pace and have units that attack while moving (phoenix) and wrap in from anywhere, Zerg only have this weird unit that takes 20 seconds to build and when it does they can spawn it from larvae. Except they can also just make a cheap building to make larvae and mine from it on the same time so I don't know whey they'd ever use that other things - I don't even know what it's called.

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.
