I think Terran is the best so far. They seem to have the most diverse playstyle. Protoss is almost forced to go into Robo Tech and Zerg is low on unit diversity. Terrans seems to be the most fun to play right now for me.

Protoss, definitely. Terran and Zerg both feel like they are lacking their old qualities from BW, they actually feel more like Protoss and less like their respective races. Protoss, however, has improved on its older self, even if some of its new units need a bit of tweaking.

Protoss is the best by design, by far. Granted, right now some tweaking needs to be done to make robo tech a little less of a given choice (Why nerf psi storm and DTs? The consequences were quite obvious...)

Terran is pretty good, although hellions could probably be a bit more interesting. Although I don't think porting in the vulture is the right solution, I'd like to see a unit that doesn't have to stop for a full second before it shoots, but does nothing else particularly interesting. Maybe they should give the hellions an activated ability or something.

Zerg is the most boring by far. I want to be a zerg player, and feel as though they are the most powerful race right now, but by god they're boring to play. Although spitting larva is part of the problem, the only zerg units that seem interesting are broodlords and banelings. I think a lot of work needs to be done on zerg.

I was going to vote Protoss, but then faced with the poll I saw everyone voted Protoss.

...Then I voted Protoss anyway. They're pretty spiffy.

gotta agree with Slurgi,
I like toss right now but I think a nerf to psi storm isn't really needed as it can be easily microed out of. I think the void ray nerf sucks too, I've probably used toss air in 1% of my total games.
Terran is great atm IMO, they have great diversity and all their units work pretty well. They also have the best harass options and OC/PF which OC has 3 spells which are useful in different situations.
I also WANT to play zerg but the unit choice really sucks, I LOVE using banelings but besides that I'm going to stay playing toss. PS, spawn larvae is so good.

holy smokes, toss truly is the most kickass race!

I guess terran needs an extra dose of manliness from blizzard to compare. and zerg, well... I just hope they patch the sounds.

rofl I know wtf

really it feels like 70% of all blizzard devs worked just on protoss, with 28% working on Terran and then just like 1 guy designed all of zerg and he really REALLY loves roaches and really REALLY sucks at designing new units lol

"here we'll just add 60 more HP to them and take away the regen thing. There, now it's balanced again!"


roaches were so clearly just used as a balance crutch for the zerg where they just kept getting buffed/changed to make zerg as strong as other races without adding new (interesting) units to them.

Although I really don't like the current state of the Phoenix and Protoss anti-air in general, they are clearly the best designed race.

Terran really needs to improve their mech. Tanks are pretty weak, Thors I like, but take up so much damn space, and I'm really not a fan of Hellions. They need something more.

Zerg feel like they just don't have enough oomph in heavier tech. I've yet to see an Ultralisk in Starcraft II, even in replays.

"ok ok how about it only regnerates while burrowed? And well give it the Infestors burrowed movement since people say they like that feature of the infestor and why shouldnt a roach be able to borrow too. Also well have a cool awesome super regen upgrade at hive tech *eyes glaze over* So then zerg can have DT's with medivac healing. It will be awesome!"

Protoss units look the coolest (except for the ninja zealots). On the other hand, Zerg units look the most lame and uncreative.

ofc it's protoss, but if we are talking about balance (which we are not) it's zerg or terran.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

In SC2 it's always seemed to me that Protoss has been pimped out (in terms of their building and unit designs) way more than the other races.
