I'm interested to see what TLnet thinks about the design of the races in general. Which race is cool? Really fits with the atmosphere? Has all the awesome units?
Gameplay wise, who do you find the most fun race to play? Do you think that one race, whilst it fits in with the game and general balance is boring and monotonous?
I have some general thoughts, but id like to hear your opinions on this!

what are the two words? i can only read text that is left-aligned, is that a problem?

Zergs design is just awesome. I only wish they got more variety unitwise...
|
|
I think protoss is the most complete at this moment.
|
Haha i kinda suspected this from the start, protoss an overwhelming majority
I think it is a pretty clear indicator that zerg needs some work though.. I really think the roach or hydra needs a pretty drastic change (whats wrong with lurkers D
|
I voted protoss, terran are close behind and zerg is poop
|
they should choose to keep the roach or the hydra but not both
|
Going to go with Protoss on this.
|
Protoss by a country mile, Terran second and Zerg is by far the worst. This makes me pretty sad as someone who really liked Zerg in broodwar and likes the aesthetic of Zerg.
|
i voted protoss but even they arent that good, lolmothership
|
I voted protoss because sentries are the only meh unit in a dull game. I don't feel any units were exciting as BW reavers, vultures, lurkers, etc.
|
Protoss os the obvious best as they've been working on it the longest. Zerg were announced the most recently and therefore have had the least work done on them as of yet and so are less refined. I don't know if terran is a whole lot worse than protoss, but protoss is certainly more interesting. This I think was true in BW as well though, as terrans just have very linear tech.
I don't think that just because one race is designed better than the others means that the game is imbalanced, however. All the races can be balanced even if the quality of polish on each is dramatically different.

No, "Two Words" are the Two words, get it? ^^'
nono, it's spawn larva - I don't know what that's supposed to mean though, cuz IMHO spawn larva is pretty broken IMBA...
I think that you can't just say that 1 race is more polished than the others, cuz they are all depending on how well the MU's and the other races work.
- It could be Zerg for example, cuz you can actually play a solid macro-game and win and not resort to cheese and all-in timing-attacks. - It could also be Terran, for their diverse and fun to play Units and the variety of strategies you can (ab)use. - It could also be Protoss, for their interesting and versatile macro-abilites, their overall strong, yet quite balanced Units that we almost all see used in almost every MU and the variety of interesting skills and spells.
I really don't know which one to pick, cuz I think all the races need much more polishing to be as shiny as the protoss look visually in SC2. xD

terran. They have insane amount of possibilites for any type of game. Zerg is pretty much macro and sitback and protosses are majorly described by "two words"- force field.

Sooo imba.

Yes, but I wouldn't say Spawn Larva is a design-flaw, cuz you can easily balance it by making it cost more Energy to use, spawn less larva, give a max-larva-cap or just make the Z-Units overall a bit weaker.
I guess this discussion is not about current state of the ongoing balancing-process, jsut about the design from the ground up with the new mechanics, Units etc.
At least that's my interpretation...

Protoss & Terran .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Zerg
Pretty sad since I was hoping to play zerg in sc2 like I did in bw but zerg is just soo boring in sc2. They don't have anything cool like t/p or bw zerg. (Ok, broodlords and banelings are pretty cool but thats nothing compared to what the other races got.

I have to disagree with this assessment- it's Protoss first by a nautical mile, then Terran, and finally Zerg :p
The races have a pretty similar # of units to play around with, and yet the Protoss army feels so much more diverse somehow.
