Poll: What is the strongest starcraft race
(Vote): Starcraft is perfectly balanced between the races
(Vote): Protoss
(Vote): Terran
(Vote): Zerg

I'm interested what people think is the strongest race, generally. Personally I think zerg has a slight advantage over the other races. Mainly because they're units are so strong for their cost, they nearly always have map control in pvz and also in pvt (except when the terran has alot of medic/marine and the zerg does not yet have muta or lurker, but thats a pretty brief period of time).

P.S, It's ok to disagree with someone and explain why, but DO NOT INSULT THEM OR CALL THEM A NOOB!

This question hasn't been asked 34062386 times before

Hmm I've been playing this game for a long time and it's hard to call, I'm gonna go with Zerg just because of the sheer cheese of muta harass and dark swarm.

Map dependent really.

Later in the game though, I think a macro oriented Zerg style gets stronger and stronger than the other races.

Just my 2 cents

Edit: At lower levels (Dish) obviously Protoss is the strongest as they are the easiest to use (this is not an insult really; I myself am a Protoss player). At higher levels I am not too sure. I notice there is usually a large number of Terran players among the top Korean players but I was never really sure why...

really really stupid and unnecessary question. the decisive question is: with which race do u play ur best?

Oh my god, not again! First of all, have you searched for this topic before? For instance: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/search.php?q=balance&x=0&y=0.

FYI, the races are balanced. What causes imbalances are the maps.

Poll: What is the worst topic idea ever?
(Vote): What is the strongest race?
(Vote): What is the easiest race?
(Vote): What is the best unit?
(Vote): Why did i build carriers/ultralisks/bc's and did not win immediatelly?
(Vote): I made dt's and they didn't kill my opponent, is this some kind of bug?
