isnt the popularity of terran due to them being the race you play in the campaign?

Give roach speed automatically, without having to upgrade. Change roach armor to 2.

Zerg fixed.

Zerg players show watch Check, he has some videos on HDstarcraft. He plays one base and easily counters/beats terran players.

I am in diamond with zerg and I never played toss/terran in SC2 at all so I can't really change my race unless I go for custom games or lose my rank until ~silver/gold I think.

I want to stick with Zerg but Terran and Protoss are easier to me.

In an Idra interview he said he might switch to Terran if something isn't done to Zerg.

I played Terran in BroodWar, so I don't think that makes me "on the bandwagon" for playing Terran in SCII

Maybe in lower leagues. Like, if you just pick up the game and you start out with the campaign, you'll probably be more inclined to pick Terran when you hit the ladders. But that doesn't explain the lack of Zergs at the top.

He's kind of relying on the Terran to do a 1 base all-in attack. Also, this is a huge generalization: most of the time he doesn't go 1 base. You could just as easily say "Terran players should watch Ensnare. He goes fast reapers and easily counters/beats Zerg players," which doesn't make either statement accurate.

Ultras will get decimated by stimmed marauders, and brood lords get destroyed by range 9 vikings.


Maybe they should add the lurker back in... when I play zerg I can't figure out what beats maruaders... mutas? But then 1 thor... gg

I've been having the same issue against early mech pushes that take it easy on the tanks until later (and then mix in vikings). I think the issue now is that I'm gun-shy when it comes to mech because I still have nightmares about losing 50-100 supply of hydras to tanks without taking any out.

In all seriousness though, I feel like I need to start incorporating hydralisks into my unit mixes. I've lost a couple of games that, in retrospect, I probably could have won if I had built a hydra den around when/before I threw down a spire.

Early on, if a terran pushes with mostly thors/hellions and marines, you should counter with roaches. If they incorporate marauders, it seems you need to incorporate hydralisks to actually do damage while roaches tank the hellions/marauders -- the only reason to ever not get hydras should be when the terran has got 4+ tanks already sieged up.

The terran can't have his entire tech tree at critical mass on the battlefield at all times -- I feel like you have to take advantage of inject larvae late game and just keep switching from one tech extreme to the other until you contain and then break him. Ideally.

If you're talking late game, speedling/ultra/infestors will stop marauders (FG to stop stim micro, speedlings to pin them down and surround/take shots and ultras to kill them fast).

I have been playing random lately because of how hard i find zvt, and believe me it has been the best thing, I am really enjoying the diversity. Not only that but i believe it will make me a better zerg player in the long run. I can already see the weakness/loopholes of the other races.

I am mainly a solo ladder player, but practicing random on team/custom games.

I Played Zerg since the first week of beta.

As of right now, I'm floating around top 10 diamond.. and seriously the will to play Zerg is slowly diminishing.

Played Zerg all Beta long but changes to Toss at Launch because it's just refreshingly easy.
I sometimes still play Zerg because it's the race i like the most.. but it's often very frustrating.

I know terran is imba vs zerg, but some people are just exadurating so hard. No terrans have skill anymore, its become terran craft and even protosses I play just give me a load of BM because im terran and that MU isnt imbalanced either :/
In life you can obtain all sorts of material wealth, but the real treasure is the epic feelings you get while doing something you love.

As a Zerg player I hate ZvZ more than TvZ (even mech).

I will never abandon the cute and rollie-pollie banelings.

I think Zerg has to be the most creative race, and ever win is hard-fought and earned. No Zerg match-up is boring. ZvP is fantastic, ZvZ is micro intensive and a requires a fantastic sense of timing. ZvT can be very difficult, but is win-able with good harassment, flanks, and a bit of luck. I can understand people's frustrations, especially versus T, but its overall always a fun experience. I can't see myself switching.
The opinion above should be ignored.

O.o play what is fun for you, being consistent playing one race will make u better in the end (i guess) playing the flavour of the month race probably wont.
