Its not a big deal really, at one point people will forget how frustrating it is to play against a good terran on the ladder and their ZvT's and PvT's will begin to suck hard. At that point the "OMFG TERRAN OP" threads will pop up everywhere and we will see a rise of terran players again hoping that they can take advantage of the slightly overpowered race thats actually pretty good but unpopular due to the high APM requirements. Except this isn't a new trend. If that really is what would happen, it would have already happened. | ||

Yes, it's hard. Just over-come your wall. Why not look at it another way? When you are finally able to micro/macro perfectly, no toss will ever be able to beat you. | ||

However, I play terran cause I think it's extremely rewarding when you win AND play well. I mean shit like multiprong drops in like 2-3 spots along with a push in front of your opponent's base. It's a lot of fun and incredibly tense moments like that which make Terran great for me. | ||

For me Terran is definitely the easiest race in SC2 as a low level player. In SC1 it was Protoss but they got harder in SC2 because you need to use force fields now which takes a bit of micro. And with Zerg it is just very hard to know when to make which type of unit with the larva you have. It is always a bit hard to judge if your opponent in a ladder game has about the same skill level as you but I would say that I can probably beat anything that a Protoss of the same skill level can do with my Terran and a Zerg of the same skill level will only give me big trouble if he goes for masses of Zerglings and Banelings. | ||

I totally agree with you. I play terran because it's just fun, and you can basically use every unit which is pretty awesome. | ||

I am silver league on EU and I always used to play Random but recently I switched to Terran because I wanted to focus on one race to practice for cups. Also when I play ladder I don't have the impression that I am not meeting Terran players anymore. There are actually quite a lot.

Because engaging a Protoss army is really hard. You have two units that can outright kill a bioball if we don't have enough of the counters. Protoss has cheaper upgrades and can get them much faster than Terran. If we make one mistake in micro, we can lose a lot of our army due to splash damage. And as you get higher in leagues, Terrans need better multi-tasking, and micro to keep up with Protoss armies. | ||

And as you get higher in leagues, Terrans need better multi-tasking, and micro to keep up with Protoss armies. And how can that not be said to be true of marines and marauders? Stop taking specific examples and trying to apply them to whole matchups. Like Day9 was saying in his daily today, it removes from the thousands of different situations that can occur, in which some "counters" are actually we against the thing that they are meant to "counter". Just stop it. All the races have their own strengths/weaknesses. Some parts are easier/harder than others. Also, some players are more aligns with some playstyles than others, so naturally they find other things harder. Get over yourselves. Just to help, i may never experience how hard it must be for zergs to hit their injects perfectly, because the warp gate mechanic isn't as punishing, likewise, they won't understand how hard REALLY good forcefields cast rapidly in a non wasteful way can be. Because the races are different and it is good that way. Note, i left Terran out not because i believe they don't have hard things to do, but because i do not wish to fuel a fire. | ||
