Why is Protoss easy? - Page 8

Anyone ever considered the _fact_ Protoss is the race requiring most strategy and gamesense? If I would argue in the way all the "1a2a3a blabla" whiners do, I'd say Terran is the easiest race followed by Zerg. When do you see other than Protoss adapt to their opponnents play? Or should I say HAVE to adapt?

I would never say that but with the bunch of cryfags in this thread you just have to face what you're actually trying to imply. Arguing same way again it would be, "Terran sits base, macroes, maybe you see some proxyfac gayness in some games" or "Zerg doing stupid 2 hatch muta lameness every game, greeding for 3rd gas to get imbalisks". Sounds retarded? Now imagine thats the way you sound.

€: Oh and if so Protoss uses the most perfect builds I guess the other races should do that too instead of crying like little girls. There's no manliness in Zerg or Terran players?

lawl this is like terrans saying 'oh look 6 dragons.. p imbal.. oh 1a2a3a p is easiest'..

ya how much does it cost to get vultures?? 75?? WOW LESS THAN ZEAL!!

and how much is a mine upgrade?? WHAT?!?!? LESS THAN A ZEAL LEGUP!?!?!?

so who wins with good micro vulture vs zeal?? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ZOMG!!!!

on top of this, whats this?? siegemode with longest attack range that cancels all defence towers and bunker + repair thats almost beyond imbal that its not funny???

and don't give me this 'low level, high level' nonsense cause as far as i know, we've had 3 terran bonjwas, and 1 zrg bonjwa in this game who have all been dominating at their times to the point that made them look unbeatable..

wait was that 3 terrans and 1 zerg?? uhmmmmmmmmmm so wheres protoss??

until bisu reigned to fame, protoss was just a race to be toyed around by zerg and good showbiz to make terrans look almighty and now, finally, they get some spotlights and all of sudden tosses are imbal..

For some reason i'm pretty sure that terran can't 1a2a3a.

anyways im not saying T is easier or vice versa, I think that P has to use more tactics to stop a terran from hard or soft pushing by doing things like reaver, recall, dt or storm drops.

Protoss is not only the easiest at lower levels...but the same logic applies at the highest levels. their HP is still high, the groupings are still easier, the mechanics are still easier. The idea that all progaming matchups are intense therefore protoss control must be as hard as Terran or Zerg is not valid. At pro level the gap might be somewhat narrower but Toss is still by far the easiest to play because the millions of reasons that make them easy do not disappear with intensity.


i'd say T is by far the hardest at lower levels.. and Z is the hardest at the highest level...but by a very small margin over T. ZvP when dealing with TOSS FE and all their explosive damage + storm...and ZvT vs things like SK terran and near flawless FE Terran mechanics (which seems to limit the Z to 3 bases midgame) is extremely hard for Z. People like Jeadong and savior deserve lots of respect.

[DUF]MethodMan and mIsUZu you sound like angry kids. Go back to 0xDEADBEEF's post and its a very easy explanation why this is true, and you really can't argue with it. You don't have to get mad about it just cause you play protoss, just means you can play better T/Z players for a more challenging game. At the same skill level though it certainly is easier.

O yea and I decided to switch to terran because of this thread too see what the fuck is so hard about this noob bitchy race, I guess it could be because there are no men that play terran, only whiny girls.

It isn't hard playing Terran.

With Terran I can beat any Protoss player easily with 7 8 Barracks. But not the other way around with proxy Gateways.

Bunker imba.

Yea i know what you mean, I CANNOT CHEESE WITH PROTOSS. It never works for me but then again I never practiced it. On the other hand I can easily cheese with zerg and terran with no practice.

lol

cheese is much easier for protoss are you kidding?

i just had to laugh at this.
you've GOT TO BE KIDDING.

2 gate ? if i don't wall, it's pretty much over. and this is the reason why i ALWAYS wall in iccup games.

dt drop? dt's do 40 damage and they're cloaked ffs. you call that FAIR? rofl

and also reaver, in an instance, my supply or scvs could be gone. terran has so much to prepare for the early game and toss has it easy. not to mention terran is so hard because they're not mobile at all. protoss can like run across the map and it's scary.

i used to be protoss and i'd be confused about how terrans always bitched about p and now i totally understand (now a T player)

also late game, arbiters are so unfair imo.
you might tell me to use vessels but emp radius is so short and by the time protoss gets 2 or more arbs, it's pretty much gg for me. Why? STASIS. and if i want to avoid least amount of stasis as possible, i have to spread my tanks. that again, is micro intensive and i also have to keep up with my macro at that point. not to mention i would also need to mine up, set up turrets, etc.
