I believe protoss is by far easier to macro than terran. Also cannons, although not commonly used, easier to do than bunkers imo, no way are cannons easier than bunkers. 100% return is insane. what happens when you place cannons and push out. you have 150 + 150 x cannon# sitting worthless in your base. | ||

Please explain what you mean I think he means something like this: As P, your standard units are zealot/stalker/sentry + a few higher tier units As T, its either marine/maurader/medivac + etc or hellion/tank/thor + etc As Z, you don't have anything like that so zergs have to try out and experiment with different unit comps. In other words, it's not as "straight-forward" as the other two races so it takes a while longer to figure things out. | ||

Don't try to make it out as if making roach hydra or mutaling/bling requires some sort of strategic genius. I know zerg differs in alot of ways from the other two races, but zerg gets glorified way too much on TL. | ||

Could it be that at diamond level zerg is considered to weak compared to terran/protoss? considering the fact you get placed into gold after going 5-0 to follow with a 90% win ratio and over 30 games you still remain in gold and people with the same amount with 60% win ratio make it into platinum i have to say your premise is a little wrong :[ | ||

It's the kid in the candy shop mentality "I want this and this and this" You just put it on what you want faster. Sure there's a lot of subtle chrono boost timings at high level play but at diamond level you just chrono boost what you want to get out faster more or less. And I think its easiest to win with protoss if you just play 1 base style, which is the easiest style to play because you have the initiative so its up to the other players to learn to defend. Definitely having the easiest time with protoss right now of the 3. Zerg proving the most troublesome. (As my BW, and "best" race, as well) | ||

Good thing neither of those unit compositions will beat a strong diamond player except in the case of muta/bling vs Bio Terran. | ||

Here are my findings. Protoss: 38 Terran: 36 Zerg: 22 Random: 4 Also, I found these surprising. I'll soon get a bigger pool of maybe the top 1000. Edit: I quickly went through the next 100. so here is a pool of the top 200 players. Protoss: 75 Terran: 68 Zerg: 47 Random: 10 this is boring so im going to take a break.  This just prooves that zerg are underpowered. | ||
