Just stay random.. Seems like you enjoy all the races anyway, so I don't see why not.

well, zerg is the hardest to play because its the easiest to lose with, protoss is very strong and neigh invincible if played correctly, but terran can do pretty much everything zerg and protoss can do, but better. its basically like this.

zerg protoss terran
different different better
different different better
different different better


i mean, it sucks to say but its sad but true. but just play what you like, these are just some things to consider. maybe you like working hard for your wins, maybe you just want them to be fairly easy. or maybe you just like one race more just cause its cooler to you.

this is horribly incorrect.

Zerg is not as cool as Protoss

i dont know ive seen some pretty crazy stuff, like a terran pull all of his scvs and marine rush with a huge army, almost win with it but fail, then with 9 workers vs the zergs 40 workers actually have a higher income than the zerg and have another huge attack ready and coming within a minute, stay on 9 workers for like 15 more minutes while still having a higher income the entire time and throwing awve after wave of huge marine balls at the zerg and not even start building more scv's till 25 minutes into the game. only to eventually give up and lose.

the fact that he could stay in that long after losing his entire army and workers without any problem while maintaining a higher income is pretty ridiculous. it just feels like terran can be careless and lose their whole army without being punished for it where the other races its pretty much GG.

but i dont want this to turn into a balance discussion, im just displaying the strength of terran.

That is called saturation. 40 drones on 8 patches versus 9 SCV's on 8 patches is about 2x more efficient for the Zerg. But if he spreads his 40 drones out to 24 patches (3 base), he goes up 6-fold over the T in terms of income. Clearly whatever Z you were watching is stupid.

In terms of MULEs, you can call them down all you want, but if you aren't scanning as T, and just trying to use your racial ability to get +300 minerals every 50 energy, you will most likely lose to an unscouted Z going for a Muta harass. Hence the nature of T needing to balance energy, exactly like Z balances Injects v Creep Tumors. Yaaaay strategy! Instead of mindless play! (U c wat I did thar?)

To OP: Don't consider this person's statement. It's stupid. Go with what feels comfortable to you, and not what the current Patch 1."X" consensus states. That consensus will be gone come Patch 1."X+1", mark my word.

no the zerg stayed on 2 bases. terran was also on 2.

you can see the game im referencing cause it was in the team liquid something or other, that teamspeak open that was like yesterday? it was destiny vs some terran on shakuras, i forget the terrans name but it was destiny's like 3rd or 4th match.
