Terran - if you liked power rangers, combining stuff to make a thing that's stronger than the sum of its parts. The key to winning is to make units cover each other's weaknesses, allowing the strenghts to shine
Protoss - race for cool kids, you basically play this if you like lasers The key to winning is to make a little bit of everything and use the lasers when you're supposed to use them.
Zerg - making a horde of animals with no identity and just throwing everything at your opponent. The key to winning is to make more than he can handle.
|
Yet most of the Terrans were playing Terran when Terran was considered the worst. They really weren't the worst then, and they really aren't OP now.

Lol one post by orb and this turns into a discussion about op
|
lol at orb. zerg is definitely not skilless (?). you need to be in perfect control of your macro or it's easy to get way behind in supply and have an extra 2000 minerals that should have been spent. Plus the different units need to be organized so that they attack in proper order and don't block other units, like making sure zerglings stay behind ultras. then theres potential for casting frenzies, corruption, transfusions, all single units spells, not a forcefield that you can use to block off the entire map should you so choose. then theres the cool burrow micro, baneling minefields and all that fun stuff. lots of micro and macro opportunities if the player is good enough to avoid the temptation to a move. thats all i'm willing to think of atm to combat orb's statement.
and to op, just pick the race that you think is the coolest. i chose zerg as a child cause they were a bunch of crazy ass aliens and that's awesome. and if you want to apply constant pressure, then zerg is a good race for that.

zerg pretty much can't win without constant pressure. T and P death balls are just way too hard to crack.

I have tried all three races and is currently most comfortable with zerg because this is the race I play most often (Platinum in latest patch). In a video on HD's channel, I saw PainUser talk about how which race you pick should be matched with your personality. I really want to match my playstyle along with the right race.
Anyone have any comments on how to know which race matches a certain personality?
THANKS!
Terran, because you asked. Only humans are worried about personality and race affekting their gameplay.

Someone else said it but its true:
Zerg - For all the punishment and harass you'll have to endure early game you must had been abused as a child and liked it.
|
pick whatever race you think has the coolest units
|
pick whichever race gets the best ratio... like for me protoss is so easy to win games with warpgate and proxy pylons

The only way to discover your 'true race' is to embark on a journey of spiritual discovery.
The first step is to take a 40 ft ethernet cable. Cut off the ends and remove the plastic shielding so you can pull out the copper wires inside. You will see 8 different wires, some twisted together, others not. Pull the wires out and untangle them so you have 8 long pieces of wire and braid them together into one, stronger, more spiritual piece of 'spirit rope'. Use this rope to bind together your keyboard and mouse into a 'spirit bundle' and take this 'spirit bundle' with you out into the wilderness.
Selecting the location of your spiritual journey is an important step. You need at least a square km of open space to bask in, preferably a meadow but a sunny park will do, and this open space should be near a wooded grove where you can meditate. I suggest using google maps to discover a suitable location near your house so you can get a ride there and get picked up later without a big hassle. Once you have a location you can start your fast.
You should fast for 2 or 3 days, depending on how naturally spiritual you are (you can use online quizzes like this one: http://tinyurl.com/p963jq) to find out, if you score particularly well you can get away with only 2 days but if not I'd recommend 3 otherwise it might be a waste of time. You will know if you only need two! You're going to want to detoxify your body so that you can absorb your spiritual journey so something like a juice fast will work well (see this guide: http://tinyurl.com/33cz4sx for an example).
On the day of your journey, walk out into the meadow and hold your spirit bundle to the sky. It might be helpful if you wear some ceremonial robes to help your mindset. You probably already have this, which will do: http://tinyurl.com/4aqsmv. Hold your bundle to the sky until you feel... a presence. You will know when it is time to proceed to the wooded grove and meditate.
Go into the grove and find a nice place to sit down. Place your spirit bundle in front of you, and unwrap the spirit rope and place the keyboard to your left and the mouse to your right. Drape the spirit rope so it touches the keyboard, passes across your lap, and touches the mouse, then lay your hands on your knees (over the rope) and close your eyes. If you have been doing the fast correctly, you should already be pretty dizzy so you shouldn't have much trouble slipping into a deep trance. Since you are in a safe place and deep in a spiritual trance, you will be able to connect with the 3 races in their purest form. You must remain in this trance long enough until your race 'chooses' you. Eventually, you will be visited by the presence you felt in the field. They will reveal themselves to you in some strange way, perhaps a falling leaf or a rustling wind, but you will receive a spiritual message from either the Protoss, Terran or Zerg letting you know the true path of your destiny.
Once your race has chosen you, you can pack up and head home, text your mom to come pick you up, etc. Hope this helps!

epic advice bro

Actually, I'm a noob and yeah I play protoss as that actually feels the easiest to play, as the build order isn't that hard and when you get warpgate you just have to press w and s a lot.
Also, if your opponent is not paying attention and you micro void rays well its a easy win.
P.S. Although, I'm probably going to switch to zerg now.

Even a metrosexual wouldn't chose their race via personality. Either you choose a race for fun or you should decide by your own limiting mechanics (example: a more macro orientated race because your harasssment sucks). Personally I random like I have seen in a previous thread; who wants to pay for 100% game to only play with 33%. Unless your going to be a professional which is unlikely if you are making decisions using your personality. Lets attack now because I'm feeling warm and fuzzy inside!

Just play with what your heart desires! If you wanna overwhelm your opponent and cause him to panic, use the swarm! If you want to absolutely destroy your opponent with one strong army, go with toss! Lastly, (I feel so dumbed down right now, is Lastly even a word? fuck it i'm using it) if you feel like you wanna take map and position control and blow up shit, pick terran!

Not sure how patch 13/14 would affect zerg skill though. I haven't played zerg in a while.

Terran - play this race if you are a red neck Zerg - play this race if you are ugly Protoss - play this race if you are really smart and a total bad ass.

agreed you just KNOW what race fits you the moment you see it goes like this : which race did you think ROXXXED the HARDEST when you first saw the 3 races for the first time? Not talking about which race was strongest or had so and so abilities. For me, the moment I saw da 'toss I knew I had to play those badass, lightsaber wielding PSYCHO MOTHER F*#KERS! go with your gut kid srsly
