I play Zerg because I started with it in the beta and decided to stay with it even though its boring to play compared to other races. Besides, whenever i beat a terran it really feels good. I mean i beat a terran as a Zerg!!! Its good to be the underdog sometimes.

I LOVE MY ZERGIES ILL NEVER SWITCH. But i will stop playing sc2 if they don't fucking fix this blatant fucking imbalance, there's no room for fucking up even the slightest vs any competent terran while he can make 100x mistakes and still come out on top.

QFT and you worded it nicely. I'm just going to quote idra here. I don't play terran because I still have some self-respect left.

After playing Zerg in broodwar I intially tried Terran in SC2. Then every reset I changed race, playing all 3 extensively.

But now that the game has come out I'm back to Zerg. I just can't play a race that doesn't have mutalisks. Where's the fun in that? :p

I switched from zerg to random because zerg units are all boring, but it has nothing to do with playing against terrans or their popularity. The zerg units are uninspired, we have the baneling which is the same as the infested terran in bw, roach which is the same as a zealot, zergling, muta, hydra, etc. The only interesting units are the queen and infestor (and okay hive tech is badass but its not original, its almost identical to the hive tech in BW).

I've stuck with zerg for ladder, but play custom games with random. All i have to say is after playing a lot of zerg is i find with protoss and terran i feel i only need to play 3/4 speed to be more successful than i am with zerg.

I actually switched to playing Terran last night. Was beating 500 rating Diamond Zerg players have 5 games playing Terran. Likely going to stick with Terran now unless major changes are made to the game which I feel is unlikely.

I'm not a win whore but Terran are laughably easy compared to Zerg, when I get matched with Zerg or Protoss it is literally a free win every single time.

My advice to other struggling Zerg players is to also switch to Terran, if no one is playing Zerg anymore then maybe Blizzard will take notice and do something.

To be honest, I think ZvZ is more of a reason to stop playing Zerg than ZvT.

Played zerg in BW, have played nothing but zerg in SC2, will probably never switch.

I don't care which race is more powerful I play what I enjoy the most.

TvT was the reason I stopped playing T. I rather play a few quick boring zvzs than 1-2 TvT slugfests that degenerate into tank/viking in the end.

Sticking with Z because I love the race and i know that some day it will get treated the way it should be. I disliked Z alot in the beta and didn't play phase two now after the break I have realized that instead of whining/switching I will just play and try to figure out the best possible way with what we have today.

I'm not happy with the state of TvZ but I think it will get a fix, hopefully a buff to Z in a gamechanging way instead of a nerf to T.

My major gripe is that I have to work my ass off to win against a Terran player while the Terran player can just a-move with their mech army that hard counters EVERYTHING I have.

rooooooofl, that's NOT true

The races are pretty balanced, i just think the current map pool favors terran with their narrow chokes and small sizes

Whats the point beeing zerg if im forced to one base? Current mappool is retarded, im going toss as for now.

The current map pool is great for zerg, zvz is the only matchup i 1 base in (ZvP situational depending on 2 gate or 1 gate core). I'm quite happy with the current pool as a zerg player. DO/BS/DQ veto'd and the rest work out great.

I don't find ZvT as infuriating as some people seem to, but God damn, does ZvZ make me want to throw things across the room.

Heavy things...

Now that TvT has branched out past pure tank/vikings it seems like the least awful mirror. So, YUSH, I might switch to Terran. =D

I switched away from Protoss because it was such a pain dealing with Terran. I never had a problem with Terran when I played Zerg. I now play Terran just because we do teams and only 1 other player in our group is Terran, the rest are Zerg or Protoss.

This is very true.
All mirrors are pretty dull but at least ZvZ is over fast. Quick bit of intense micro, boom boom go the banelings and it's over.
TvT is like turning your nuts in a vice. Slow excrutiating pain.
