Not saying Protoss is inferior, but definitely the learning curve for Protoss is much easier and once you get the basics down you're good to go to improve. There is a huge gap that Zerg and Terrans have to make, where you see D+/C- Terrans suck soooo much compared to C+, even though the ranking is only a slight difference. yeah I guess the "gap" just comes later for protoss | ||

case in point, historically protoss has had the least amount of success in progaming, and it used to be a big deal when more than a few protoss made a starleague. the current scene seems to suggest a more level playing field, but don't forget to factor in a few favorable protoss maps | ||

And examples like legend of the fall comes to mind like garimto and anytime. Also, bisu revolutionizing pvz helped turn protoss players drastically too. Overall the skill level has increased alot since the old days and players found ways to basically get the job done. | ||

With the other two races you just pump workers and troops, and end up with an army. All you gotta pay attention to is the timing and positions. With Zerg you have to pay attention to timing AND economy, when to use larva on troops and when to use larva on drones. Plus the hatcheries end up all over the map, while with Terran and Protoss most of the unit production is clustered in a single place. | ||

For me I always struggled playing Terran until I decided to switch to Zerg quite a few years ago, at that time it was just because i liked the zerg forces and some of their possibilities in battle were fun. But also the race clicks with how I think about the game, I like to set things up with feints and follow them up with tech switches, mass droning or drops. I dont like to simply macro and then micro in the center to win my games. Zerg is imo more strategical, where T and P are more tactical and mechanical. | ||

For example: PvT is probably the easiest matchup C- and below. If the players are of equal skill, the protoss will usually win, simply because of the multitasking and timing required for TvP. However, once you start playing against Terrans with real macro and good timing, you finally realize the danger of facing an army that can and will deal much more damage than yours, if fought on Terran's terms. Same for ZvT. At lower levels, Zerg can toy with Terran, while higher level ZvT can feel helpless. In response to red.venom: I can't really agree that Zerg is more strategic. All races can do some pretty creative strategies (both tactical and strategic). At lower levels, Terran is too busy dealing with mechanics to be able to worry about it, but Protoss can pull the very same GayStrats that Zerg can (even faking drops), but they can also hide tech and proxy and generally use buildings in more creative ways than zerg can. Boxer showed that Terran's can be very deceptive and creative at mid-levels (2002 pro-level is probably B-/B+ now), and if you watch professional games, I don't think I ever get the feeling that Zergs are being more strategic ZvT than Terrans. If anything, Terrans are having to bend over backwards to be creative to beat modern Zergs, while Zergs are playing textbook. | ||

- If you're slow (low APM), hardest is Terran, then Zerg, then Protoss. - If not, hardest is Zerg, then Terran, then Protoss. | ||

In terms of game sense, Zerg macro is pretty hard. Terran is more based on timing. Protoss is stuck between again because probes can always be mining and strong unit hp gives a bit more leniency on timing. In terms of tactics, Protoss comes out on top due to lack of unit variety and slow tech tree. So the Protoss really, REALLY has to make the best use of his units. TvP you can raid / drop with vults, lay mines, you can defend with sieged tanks, drop them, or push with them. ZvP cracklings are pretty all purpose, lurkers can drop, contain, turtle, counter melee, ultralisks just rape shit. PvT all units play a very narrow role, zealots kill tanks / drag mines, goons kill vults / cleanup, ht's storm support attack / storm raid. Same with PvZ zealots don't necessarily counter anything but hydras and are dead even with lings (whoever has more / micros better wins), they are just there to keep ling numbers down and make sure goons don't get raped. Goons counter lurks and ultralisks but only with support. The ht pretty much makes or breaks PvZ, the HT is the P's crackling in PvZ storms everything + in archon form kills shit. Wow, anyway, the point I was trying ot make was Protoss have to make the best of their units because they are low in number and take a long time to replenish. I think this is why it's harder to play P on a higher level. I don't remember the point of my post anymore, weeeee. | ||
