- 4 gate is easy - massing collosus and 1a is easy - dt and void ray rushes are easy - cannon rush, proxy zealot are easy know how to these things = low master league protoss = easy? is protoss really easy? - troop positioning to counter immobility - baby sit army constantly as key units are irreplaceable - how to take a third in most games is a difficult question with lack of map control options - lack of cost-effective harass till late game limits early and mid game strategies - timing playstyle vs zerg, reactive play vs terran, one mistake = rollover and die to terran or zerg takes over map = gg | ||

No warn? Nothing? Wow. On topic... Protoss is not the easiest race. There is no easiest race. The race is only as hard to play as you make it. Sure you could 4gate every game, and that is easy. Just like Terran can 6 rax marine and Zerg and 6 pool. Cheese is cheese, it is 'easy' no matter what race you are. Saying you can just 1a protoss armies is stupid and ignorant. Try playing above Copper level (yes I mean Copper, the league that was below bronze and doesn't exist anymore) and you will see that without micro-ing your army you lose almost every game. IMO Terran is the easiest race. A wall you can lower, simple army tactics (stim, stutter), siege tanks, viable drops, MULEs, etc. Terran is obviously the easiest to play, or Blizzard wouldn't have given them out as the free race. | ||

Terran: Hardest to micro (lots of stutter step, use of multi task for drops) , but easiest to macro (mules,call down supply, easy macro while in a battle) Zerg: Hardest to macro ( constant larva injecting is imperative to win) , easiest to micro (most "a-movey" race IMO. All about positioning) Protoss: Balanced micro and macro. (Pretty "a-movey" but there are spells to use, unspent chronoboost is not as bad as missing a larva inject and you must look away sometimes to macro during a battle) | ||

Build colossus deathball, cannot be defeated. It's once you get into the higher levels that protoss starts to become more balanced with the other races. Also it takes 3 marines or 5 zerglings to kill 1 zealot. HAHAHA 3 marine to kill a zealot?! Are you trolling?! One marine > Zealot, it is called range brooooo. Zealots are sooo slow and can't hit a Marine that is being micro'd by someone with a pulse. | ||

Perhaps Protoss is 'easier' to pick up because there's not really much to Micro and more to Macro, but at higher levels it's very difficult to win with Protoss because the skill ceiling is lower than the other races in my opinion. | ||

Go try and A move a max terran army bio against a max protoss army with a good amount of colossus without either of them being micro'd and tell me who win. Terran simply has to work more against HTS/chargelot or Colossus based army to win the battle. | ||

The zealot will catch up if you try to shoot with your marine. | ||

This conversation is dumb. Marines cost 50 minerals, zealots cost 100. Also, protoss dont have reactors on their gateways. A zealot is supposed to kill a couple of marines. | ||

One marine does not beat a zealot because even if you kite perfectly, the zealot is fast enough to get 3 hits off. So please, go back to copper as you said. | ||

Terran simply has to work more against HTS/chargelot or Colossus based army to win the battle. Why would you ever go heavy bio against a colossus based army anyway? Terran has tanks. The siege unit with the longest ground attack range in the game. You know, those things that kill Colo really damn fast if you know what focus fire is. | ||

Terran simply has to work more against HTS/chargelot or Colossus based army to win the battle. You know what? NO. I'm not going to explain to you each individual piece of micro that every race has to pull off. Because that's what balance whining children do, on the b.net forums. If you are one of those people, PLEASE, go back there. Go back a couple of your posts. You say that you have to get off a good EMP or you're dead. Ok. But then you say all protoss has to do is get off good storm and ff...can you seriously not see how fucking blinded you are by bias? Why is that so easy for them but so hard for you? I guarantee you if you played protoss you'd be saying 'all terran has to do is get off one good EMP and my super expensive ht's are useless'. FYI I play terran 75%, protoss 25%. Please try PvT some time, enjoy losing to MMM a dozen times in a row. Until then shut up about how hard everything is for you. EDIT: P.S. Stutter step, the bulk of the micro you have to do in TvP, isn't hard, son. | ||

People talk about splitting marines, but infact that isn't even required. It is not in anyway a necessity. Terrans are supposed to focus fire their tanks on the banelings. If you have no tanks and are desperately splitting marines to fight the banelings something has gone horribly wrong. | ||
