I don't think anyones saying imbalanced. Just the fact clearly at lower levels its much easier to play. Similar skill level protoss vs zerg or terran is easier to win that the opposite. It seems very easy against protoss to get quickly overwhelmed if any mistakes are made.

I have a friend that used to play zerg for like 6-7 years. I play random. When we played vs each other he would probably win 1 in 20 games if he was lucky and i was trying to be cute with some wierd strategy. Well, same friend more recently began to play protoss from time to time, wining at least 2-3 PvT in 10 games vs me, having played maybe less than 100 games as protoss.
I also find it the easiest to win as P after i've had a long break from SC, say over six months.

As a Z user, I can't play any of the other races well and once you get the hang of muta micro, zerg is pretty easy to play...

at a really basic level you can get away with saying that each race needs one skill.

Have macro? go P
have micro? go T
Have gamesense? go Z

I'm a terran player, with around 260 APM and I lose almost every game on ICCUP.

...

On weeks that I play Toss (off-race mind you) I get to D/D+.

...

-I could go to C+ with Toss if I main raced it and learned all the build orders/theory, I have pretty good macro.

It's been said by the progamers many times, that the biggest imbal unit in sc is vulture, and biggest imbal mu is tvz :D

Hence all I see is terrans wining cause they can't man up and learn to multitask better ;D

If protoss was so easy at low level then you wouldn't see any D-/D protosses since theyll all kickass up to D+/C-

But D-/D are filled with protosses...

Just take a look at TLPD on the right side of this page. Highest ranking race is clearly protoss then terran then zerg. There is almost no zerg near the top except Jaedong (he would probably be much better had he focused on Protoss when he started).
Peace and love, for ever.

I'm D+/C- iccup generally, with Z being my strongest race (that gets me to C-) and P usually keeps me high D+. I would debate I can even play Terran at a D+ level at all, and struggle vs other D's.

I find terran the hardest to play, but maybe it's because of the mere lack of trying to even play them. When I do I find myself not throwing down enough factories and the timing of whcih I add them is utterly terrible, I for some reason rarely get past 6 factories (which I can build with ok timing), and then I get slaughtered in macro.

While I can macro MM fine, I can't manage them for shit. Like at ALL. Instantly gets killed by anything.

Everyone saying "protoss is easy, and terran is hard" is a joke. Please try to play PvT around B- level it is so fucking hard.

What does "protoss is easy at low levels" mean? Does that mean around C- level? Cause all the time I see zergs easying there way up to C, using 2 hatch builds, mass ling builds, 5 pools.

What about terrans on iccup? TvP at low levels I can almost gurrentee that the terran will just 110 supply push and rape most protoss players.

Most the people here saying protoss is an easy race are just nooby bandwagoners.

I don't follow the pro scene too closely but from my knowledge I can say that there has been no top protoss player for any long period of time, no one that comes close the the reigns that Boxer, or Savior, or NaDa, or July have had. So even if protoss is "EASY" at low levels such as D+ and C- who the fuck cares? Since it is clearly the harder race through the higher levels, and the higher levels are where it counts.

Stop bitching because your bad. Stop bitching because you want to look like you know what your talking about.

EDIT* O yea and for people saying that protoss is easy because it doesn't require apm, you really need to look at apm threads. APM MEANS NOTHING.
