You're complaining that you can't 1A your army there. DTs are the best drop cleanup unit ever, cannons are the best static defense and also the part about forgetting the warp in is just wrong. Drops are most effective late game and even if all your gates are at cooldown, at that time you have plenty o' WG-s and some will be ready soon. And even if it takes a couple of seconds, it actually requires more for a drop to be effective. Still, just because I disagree with you on that one, I don't want to sound like a whiny dbag - as I've said, imo despite easier drop defense, the harder micro during battles makes it up for the difficulty of the race  On August 11 2011 09:21 GrungyMunchy wrote: This thread feels like an asylum, it's just a bunch of low-ranked/butthurt players venting their anger from not knowing shit about playing the game or from that earlier game they got stomped by a Protoss, and they somehow can say all the crazy stuff they've said with a straight face. Can someone lock this? I mostly agree that the whining guys are acting butthurt and all, but insulting them for being "low-ranked" isn't appropriate, as the topic is about how hard a race is, and surely, this is more important in the lower leagues, where players have a harder time overcoming the difficulties of their race. | ||

Nothing in a Toss army dies that quickly to anything. Now i play random so i don't care which race is easiest or hardest, but one thing is definitely true, as a toss you don't have to babysit your units like you have to with Z/T. Not being able to admit Protoss is the most unforgiving race blows my mind. I mean watching Yigioh play Thorzain the other day, can you honestly say that you need to baby sit units as zerg? Infact it's the complete opposite, the only units you need to babysit is the Mutas, and it's a fast flying units....Not exactly that hard if you have good APM. Like shit, I've vsed Zerg's that have just right clicked my Nexus with a bunch of roaches and lose them all then be able to make a ton more since there so cheap Since when is getting all your lings roasted gonna cost you the game, it can in the early game, but so does missing an FF on the ramp, durp. Saying Protoss units are tough is stupid, we get caught off guard and get fungal'd and we can lose them game right there, we get an Obs sniped and cloaked ghosts emp the sentrys and HTs, we lose, we get our collosi out of position and get sniped by vikings we lose, we miss FFs we lose, we have an HT based army against Terran and most of them get EMP'd we lose, the list goes on and on. | ||

All races are played almost equally, yet in bronze up to platinum there are far less zergs then protoss and terran. This must mean that playing zerg you have a higher chance at being platinum + leagues or is there a flaw in my logic | ||

Try missing those FFs at high level and we'll see how it goes. You live and die with them in most cases. You can't let a bio-ball, nor a roach-ball get to close without cutting them of. | ||

A lategame Protoss army that isn't maxed can definitely deal with a drop quite easily assuming it's only 1 medivac. An early/midgame army of Protoss doesn't have many gateways, nor are gateway units strong against MMM, you warp in a bunch of zealots and they get kited, you warp in stalkers they get 1 shotted, saying Protoss doesn't need to split up their army to deal with drops is stupid, why do you think sixjaxMajor owns pretty much every Protoss, he's drops are fucking hard to deal with. Simple Oh btw a medivac and a marauder can kill a cannon, saying cannons is the best static defense is hilarious. | ||

Some may find zerg to be the easiest race, some may find it to be the hardest, but you cant just say which is the easiest overall. People try and compare by saying stuff like "well protoss has warp ins" or "but terrans have mules" and being willfully stupid. You cannot compare like that, you're comparing one trait out of maybe like 1000, it's just silly. This thread is pretty entertaining but still useless. I think it should stay open just for some entertainment, i love these sort of tense drama-ish threads  | ||

As soon as someone makes a new point, it just loops back again. It's like being trapped in a 20 page hell. It's a stupid and useless fucking thread.. I don't know why mods didn't close it right away. | ||

Zergs and Terrans like to attack my protoss with their oh-so-good multitasking only to fail miserably against me. Defending multi attacks is harder than attacking multi places. Protoss units have very diff movement speed therefore 3 hotkeys are required. Stalkers,Zealot&Sentry and Collo/high templar. 1 misclick with forcefield will cost you the game. So the point is, Protoss is a hard race.. just different and some noobs don't understand the race and whine. | ||

Something about dumping 1k/1k with warp ins that makes it much more consistent than dumping 1k/1k into terran production buildings. edit: I play at platinum so all this talk about micro and spam F to win doesn't really apply. I just win through having better macro than my opponent | ||
