I dont feel zerg necesarily is harder then the other races, but it feels like it because it is less forgiving.
Small mistakes as zerg lose you games alot easier then it does for T/P, and thats because we dont have walls to hide behind, siege units to defend with, a missed larvae inject is missed cant be caught up with like chrono and mule, and spent larvae on drones is spent no matter how much resources you have.

I played Random for some time (I'm Diamond rank SEA and high Diamond NA) and I found all of the races pretty easy mechanically, and quite different mechanically which was good. At Diamond and I think for 90% of Masters players mechanics is the main factor in how hard or easy a race is so I believe it comes down to personal preference. For example I find the least Terran mechanics suit my style, and Zerg builds were not so intuitive for me, so I eventually switched to Protoss (this was back when T was killing every P btw so I didn't just pick the "easiest") as I felt it more suited my style.

Although parts of all races contain elements that suit me as a player the point is that mechanically there was little to distinguish between picking a specific race, at least at my humble level.

Prtooss. 1A, literally requires no micro. The macro mechanics are the easiest, the easiest units to use/understand...

I think Protoss is easiest to learn but hardest to master.
Zerg is a little harder to learn but a little easier to master.
Terran somewhere in the between, pretty balanced.

As a musician the op sounds like "It's harder to learn bass, drum or guitar ?". The noob usually respond "bass". (yes, im a bass and toss player :D)


I disagree to a certain point. As a musician myself I think it's the easiest to learn guitar with the goal that it sounds like something. The average person can be impressed by some chords and maybe singing, even though it requires basically no skill.

For bass you need to put a little more effort in it that it sounds like something. Noone gets impressed by single notes picked on a bass.


More indepth questions on this topic:

Was do you mean with "easy"? How is it defined? There's no such a thing like skillcap.
With which goal / at which point of progress do you measure it?

At low level I think toss and terran is 'easier'. At high level zerg is the easiest imo (you don' t really need to micro).

Definately Terran. All you do is press T and win. Least the other races actually have to think about composition...



This is pretty much exactly what I was looking to avoid.

Just vote in the poll. Please don't start arguments with these inflammatory statements.

Based on micro and macro, Zerg is the easiest race. All your production buildings and supply are on one hotkey, you can also bind all Queens to another hotkey and inject via minimap. Also, there is less micro required than for the other 2 races.

However, strategically, Zerg might be the hardest, early game at least.

I can't vote in this poll. Any sort of opinion anyone forms from this thread is inherently biased because they keep getting beaten by one race or another. The opinion I have here isn't going to accurately reflect what's actually easiest.

This thread seems like it only going have biased votes and bring about race imbalance QQ. On a completely unbiased note, Zerg/ Terran are both EZmode

This is just asking for balance complaints...
I also noticed that there are about 5 Protoss posters here, the rest are either Zerg or Terran. There is no way you're not going to get a bias opinion out of this

Terran just may feel easier cause it is the safest races due to their design. (good defensiv options, cost effective Units)


just because you believe there is no easiest race doesn't mean everybody thinks the same way.


Nope. But it still means he's right, regardless of how many people may disagree.

What is the actual purpose of this thread in the first place? Logically, everybody should find their main race easiest to play - if this is not the case, it's a clear sign of biased opinion.

If you think terran is the easiest you clearly have never played terran at a decent level.

Everyone finds different races to be a challenge. (Unless your TLO) If you asked IdrA to play Terran he'd murder you...whether thats because he finds them hard or not I dunno. However I find the easiest race for me to play is Zerg...however some people find it easier to play others. Isn't that what picking a race is about? I love Terran, but I find it hard to play them, so I don't. Zerg is easy for me So I play them. I think that's the best way of looking at this.

Protoss is by far the easiest race to play. With very little practice or experience I can happily switch from T to P and still dominate most master GM players. However when I switch to Z i find the mechanics much harder to master and build orders need to be much more thought out.
