I randomed up until silver league (started bronze with no RTS experience) and chose protoss. I won most with em, but there is something far more important than winning. It is:
Protoss have laserbeemz. On almost all our units. Nobody else has them, just us. Lasers are cool.

When I was younger I was very into the SC story. I played zerg because their campaign was so great in vanilla SC and they have such a cool image. However in BW Kerrigan ruined the coolness of the zerg so I went and played Protoss out of spite lol. Now I'm still protoss. (Terran never interested me, kind of bland compared to the zerg and protoss)

I hate ZvZ with a passion and I don't like the Terran playstyle.

I would rather play Zerg than Protoss in general but I dislike the ZvZ matchup so much that I ended up going for P.

I played Random during both beta phases of SC2 and eventually went with Protoss because it fit well with my SC:BW background. I actually won more with Terran but it still didn't feel quite right to me.

I think the key is to give all of the races a fair shot by playing Random until you can finally pick which race feels the best to you. Please note, you will need to play a ton of games in order to finally elucidate the correct choice. Also note that, for the most part, playing Random will cause your rankings to decrease while you adjust but, over the long term, you will eventually benefit from the experience by finding "your race."

Good Luck to all those lost souls in search of a home on Char, Aiur/Shakuras, or Korhal/Tarsonis =.

I started as T but I lost like 90% of my TvT's because I refused to make siege tanks.
Then I got destroyed by this zerg on the ladder who swarmed my shit and harassed everywhere and I got inspired so I switched to zerg

Terran, simply because I enjoy listening to space marines more than random growling noises or robotic beeps. Their gunfire/rockets/explosions also sound the coolest IMO. The game is most fun when you enjoy the aesthetics - anyone can adapt to a certain race's playstyle, but you cant change the fundamentals of that race.

Zerg has superior style and flavor. The way zerglings engulf the enemy, how the map gets infested by creep, so many banelings, the overall artistic design of the race. From a gameplay point of view, you have to play more intelligently and reactively than with the other races. I always feel like an underdog, which makes every won battle that much more rewarding.

This precisely.
