I loved SK Terran vZ and Mechplay vP in BW. Mechplay isn't mobile I know, but somehow I just liked mech vP and hated Tanks vZ lol. So yeah, neither of those were possible when I changed to Zerg(Mech vP is kinda viable now after Jinro vs. MC) and I have stayed with Zerg, loving my Mutalisks and Zerglings although they are really only viable in ZvT now. | ||

Oh, and I was Orc in War2 because the Ogre Mage's Bloodlust was so much stronger than the Paladin's healing. But when I come to think of it it was because I would have 9 Ogres in a box and it was so easy to Bloodlust them all while healing was impossible. Did they patch it, or was the healing perhaps not useless? Maybe it was even stronger than Bloodlust but I just did not understand or could handle the micro? | ||

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 =. Yeah i had the opposite happen to me. I would win all my Protoss matches in SC2 but still switched to Terran though i had a lower win rate. Kinda funny how i never thought Terran to ever be OP because i never made Marauders EVER  . Got to Diamond without ever making 1 Marauder. Now after so many months i'm finally starting to add marauders but only when I go Bio TvT, Bio TvZ and Marauder Hellion Timing Attack, And to FE against Toss.My TvP has always been Marines and Tanks. | ||

Terran - Probably the best all-round race, but also very defensive in nature. Based a lot on positioning, especially vs Zerg and Terran when Siege Tanks are a necessity (bio in TvT can work but IMO is harder). TvT usually turns out into the most boring thing in the world if both players opt for Tanks. Their style does not suit me at all, so slow, immobile and boring. Protoss - As probably is clear from the previous 2 descriptions; I play Protoss because they are by far the 'coolest' race of the 3. I love the warp ins, their units with awesome abilities like Blink and Feedback; their super strong units for lategame (mentioned already), and the fact their mechanics tend to favor offensive play. I don't want to play slow games where you mass defensive units. I love macro games, though. There's a difference between teching up and making a good army and making mass Siege Tanks / Missle Turrets / Bunkers like GoOdy does in pretty much every game :x | ||
