Look what switching races did to Morrow. I mean yeah, he's a pretty good Zerg and playing at pro level once again. But let's be honest here, there's a real possibility he could have a GSL under his belt by now had he stuck with Terran. | ||

Best suggestion is probly to keep playing your main race but holding the other as a offrace. Just like random players have to do with 3 races. | ||

You could have the best stutter step micro in the world, but the moment there are 3 force fields behind you, it makes absolutely zero difference. On "topic" thought, there's absolutely nothing that should stop you from changing race, considering the game will probably be out for several years, and if you're already bored with your race there is no point to keep playing it. If it is for balance reasons, which I think it is, then you're just being stupid. You'll probably end up switching race again the moment you die to burrowed banelings, or instant die to storm+colossus or something. | ||

Although I'm far from the player he is, I've had more or less the same thoughts myself. Anyway, I hope Blizzard dare test the limits more on the testing server, even if the majority of them will never go through. | ||

The Metagame itself is changing rapidly. With a much larger audience to cater to, the waves coming out of Korea are huge. I've been out of the game for a few weeks now (replaced hdd just haven't reinstalled) and I'm sure everyone and their mom is doing 2rax 3-5 rine +scv rush, next month they won't hell maybe next week they won't. For a while after MLG Dallas everyone went blink stalkers. Some tactic may not be imbalanced this week, it may just be very strong hard to counter, but who knows what the next 2 weeks hold for it. | ||

Wait what? This game is 6 months old. If you want to switch races just do it. You probably will switch back if you like your old race better. | ||

What race did you play in Warcraft 3? Cuz for me how warcraft races translate into starcraft is: Orc - Protoss/Terran, Undead - Protoss/Zerg, Nelf - Zerg/Terran, Human - Terran. With exceptions ofcourse. But i mean figure out your own style, what race relates to you the most, because the races are so completely different and you can only go as far as your race allows you. | ||

If you don't have a favourite race, I would probably stick to protoss since you've invested so much time in it. | ||

If you want to be #1 on the ladder or want to go pro pick the race that you will win the most with. If not and you want to enjoy the game, pick the race you would enjoy the most. Will you be better if you switch to terran or would you just enjoy the micro? Because the match-ups aren't unbalanced overall. I'm ok as protoss, I've had a lot of practice with it,and I find zerg really hard. Like, really hard. But I enjoy it more so I'm sticking with it. | ||

Basically what i'm trying to say is that if sub high level diamond players could download a program that would automatically stutter step and kite for them the win % of protoss would go down drastically. I don't understand this comparison. Isn't this why toss has FF? By trapping marines/marauders with FF to disallow them to retreat, the zealot has a much bigger value. It's a lot more effective than ensnare in War3.. | ||

Rushes/early pushes are just so EASY and COMMON that it's difficult for Protoss even get to the mid-game. These players focus so much on their early play that once I get to the mid-game it's just a slow progression towards my opponent's gg. Before then it's nothing but a struggle. I rarely if ever win a game under 14 minutes, but maybe it's because I don't often counterattack those times that I stop the cheesy push (3RR, 7RR, 3Rax, 5Rax). I prefer to play a macro game and limit my enemy to 2-3 bases (map-permitting he might get a 3rd). I don't even see how this could be patched (increasing Stalker dps comes to mind), since Protoss is just not designed around the early game. | ||
