I will stay protoss, and I wont even make any of the new units unless they change the old ones. The new protoss units seem slow to get, very expensive, and (for now) look like they are only useful in a long macro game. I, however, never play a long macro game as protoss, and I will stick to my 1 and 2 gateway timings and all ins that I have relatively good success with.

That said, anyone trying to tech to the new units too quickly, or playing greedy and assume that I want to make the new units, prepare to die to a 4 gate or 7 gate blink all in. GG.

Some may say it is too early to have any opinions on how this will effect casual and professional play, but I am going to say that I do not like this expansion whatsoever at the moment for either aspect from a protoss point of view.

I actually dont see a reason to REMOVE units that were not used by "competitive" players. I am a casual player. The highest league ive ever been was low masters. When I log on to my other account in Silver league, I want to do a 2 or 3 base mass carrier attack, and now I cant. I dont want to copy terran or zerg units. There is a reason I dont play those 2 races is because I dont like them. I'll just say that there is no harm in keeping the mnothership and the carrier in the game for the people that want to use them. Obv they arent worried about them being OP.

I play zerg, but will be switching to toss UNTIL HOTS, then back to zergies. Why? CARRIERS, THAT'S WHY!

Masters random player, most likely switching to Z, they have everything already and are getting even more.

Gonna switch from z to t, mech Terran always seemed really cool and I think the new Zerg units will end up be overrated especially swarm host.

If terran does not get something in beta, might go zerg...

I will stay as Terran, I'm a lazy f**k to learn anything other than Terran, also HOTS might provide Terran with decent mech play vs Protoss so, yeah...

Can't really decide ^^. Right now I prefer Zerg but my favorite race is still Terran, i just don't enjoy TvP, but in HOTS that will probably change if i can go mech :D.

Gonna have to try it out, I'll probably play random for while before i choose. Pretty sure I'm not gonna play Protoss anyway.. Don't really like them now, and i suck at PvP. Besides, their new units seem kinda lame compared to the awesome new Z/T units.

If Protoss however turn out to be fun in HOTS I'll play Random

Missing some options like, i down vote maps on ladder to get mostly only mirror matches. (hrhr i am evil). and the i switch between all 4 races x3.

And the option i would choose ! Switching from terran to Mech ^.^

I dont think your map vetoes have any effect on what matchups you get. I believe it finds a player then choses the map based on both players vetoes.

OT: I'm a protoss player and I'll either be sticking with protoss for HoTS or switching to random.
