Well I play random all the time and I personally find zerg to be the easiest, protoss to be in the middle, and terran to be the hardest. Building a single building per unit I want and just keeping up with injects is very easy. I don't really see why at around a middle level that zerg is said to be difficult because of the macro... you just need to inject and know when to make an army.
Either way, people saying protoss is easy doesn't matter. We have already seen over the past year that zergs just complain about other races because they think their race is the hardest to play. All that really matters is how they play at a higher level, and right now they seem to be relatively close to balanced.

Ya I think saying that any of the races are easy to master is completely false.

What? Have you ever played Starcraft 2 before? There's no limit to the size of control groups.

First off, I am T. I think that every race is equally hard to play at the very high level. The point why so many people think Toss is easy comes from the lower level. Reasons are the relative to other races low required apm, strong cheeses (4gate, but a lot of people also say T is easy because of their various all-ins etc.), warp in mechanic, lack of harass unit, deathball. At higher level, Protoss is quite hard to play as it is very fragile and doesn't really have some strong macro mechanic (except CB and late game 20gate instant warp-in).

What? In SC1 it was definitely infuriating that the protoss were so fucking easy especially if you were terran and had to click your ass off to be on par. Or were zerg and fuck up once to see your expensice critters turn to blood from one godamn reaver/storm.
But in SC2 I think there is far less of a gap between the races. FAR LESS. The only easier part in my humble Gold Level opinion is spending. When I'm protoss its far easier to not float on minerals (I main zerg). And this is made up for by the many other difficulties that accompany the race

4gate vs. P and 6gate vs. T/Z?
EDIT: Most people are going to say purely 4gate against all races but 6gate is stronger and not that much more difficult to execute.

Unless someone has mastered all the races, in recent patches, its fucking worthless to have a discussion about which race is hardest to master right now. geeeez

Press "w" "s" click, repeat, "s" click", until warpgates are on cooldown.
This is why.

Isn't 6gate considered all-in? Not just a timing attack...

I disagree that's it's cheese but it's slightly abusive and you can use it to get to masters rather easily.

4 gate wont win you a single game against a good zerg/terran. nor will a 6gate, both races have figured out a long time ago how to hold that.
+2wep 7 blinkstalkers is a much better "cheese" if we are talking cheeses, but thats mostly against zerg..

almost no 2 base attacks are all in as long as you do damage, it is a timing attack
"all in" overused and has lost its meaning

If anything ZERG is a 1a move attack win race (not trying to diss on zerg, zerg is still hard and you have to macro very good). And then they say Protoss is then OP when we have the lowest winrate. Yay Storm vs EMP/Stim/Kiting.
I'd take storm any day.

and this is harder than pressing "5" "s" "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" ?

you cant 2 base cheese...if you had time to make a nexus and 6 gates then your opponent had time to scout it.
It has to be a timing attack - only idra talks about 2 base and 3 base all ins ^_^

That's like saying a 6 pool is a timing attack, because if you do enough damage you can work your way back into the game, despite not winning the fight.

So many people in this thread are commenting about a move deathball = no micro.....so since when do colossi start coming out of gateways? The a move death ball can't be made until late game and in early mid game Protoss is the most micro intensive race by far. Ever try a moving stalkers into mm? With FF and blink micro IMO Protoss needs the most micro to just stay alive in early mid game.
Also I find Protoss to be least forgiving in terms of losing the game from 1 mistake, if you lose map awareness for just a moment and let a drop happen or let an emp go off or miss a FF or let an enemy army run up into your face, it's GG right there and then. Seriously,without constant vigilance, any dropship that unloads in your base will almost always be more cost efficient than whatever you send to kill it and it often cripples you right there.
