I am not gonna give my oppinion which will be just another post usless to you. I will just say, that this game is young, like really young. Its perfect time to switch, even play random, try out races. And chose the one you feel most comfortable with. | ||

But at least ZvZ and PvP doesn't last very long :p The main reason to go Terran imo is if you want to fight for first place in tournaments. This: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-international/individual-leagues can not be explained by chance or player skill, it's clear that Terran is the strongest race at the top. | ||

He had an okay amount of success switching races, but I still think he would have done better to remain Terran. However, if you think another race suits your style more, you should do it. Just don't do it if you think your race is underpowered. Everyone thinks their race is underpowered. Terran is UP! :p ( just kidding for the flamers) I shoudnt change race case of a micro problem. SC2 is more a macro game (State of the game 23!, not my words). But players like kiwikaki who can micro 4 blink stalkers vs 200/200 food army and still win, isnt that the kind of micro your looking for? | ||

but this is probably the best time to switch race, since hte ladder is going to be reset soon. You have time to get good with your new race and it doesnt matter if you lose loads of games (not that it matters mcuh anyway) | ||

play your "favorite" race.... if you play the imba race, GL with that because Starcraft is such a close game balance wise that you'll be switching race every patch. | ||

P just sucks tho you are abslutely right, for war3 players. It actually has the least micro potential, despite the units being "war3"ish. | ||

What will you do when your race gets figured out and other races catches up within the metagame, and a balance change happens and what not. Will you swap race again and have top players with that race laugh at you? The further we get into this game the harder it'll get to catch up when you swap races. This is the same bullshit that's going on when top players scream imba, and then a couple of weeks later the issues are resolved even without patching, and then patching happens and readjustments needs to occur again. What is fun has nothing to do with it, ofc it's fun to win, but you will not be a longterm winner if you think in balance terms. You need to just play the race that you are comfortable with and play it out to the max. What I'm saying is; dont choose your race because it's more powerful in certain situations in the metagame, but choose your race based upon your playstyle, comfort and perhaps what you see as potential within the race. Any other decision will backfire eventually. | ||

Stay as protoss and wait for the skill level of top players is not mountains ahead of lower tier players so that when patches are released you don't get a mountain of QQ now i have to click more! QQ Protoss doesn't need a buff! they own me in my platinum league! awesome post. I actually agree with your reasoning. as for your C-option. That will never happen : ) ppl are qqing even before they try PTR. I have no idea why but they do. It's like field of dreams. "If we whine they will buff" and than something weird happen (God I hope blizzard will start explaining their patches) | ||
