Not a bad number of responses given that this topic has been around for 5-6 hours.

I do find it interesting that there are more match-up participants than there are people answering what race they play. =P

I think that was to be expected. I'm just wondering why not more Toss players chose Terran, seeing as early stim timings and MMM pushes hit really hard.
Starcraft 2 is funny, everybody picks the race, which he considers to be the weakest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They don't hit that hard, if you have a few sentries and a couple upgrades or a collosus or two out even without range you can hold them pretty well.

my option for most satisfying way to win is not listed... it's when my opponent doesn't lose because he is stupid. this still happens allot in diamond but then I also lose because of that often :S

Don't we all.

It's quite rare that both players execute they're plan to the letter and one barely comes out on top.

That's a lot of Diamond and Master league players

I did like how the Terran/Protoss both generally feel that Zerg are the hardest race to play. I'm a random player, and I generally agree that I find Zerg the hardest to face, across the board.

Then again, statistically my worse match-up is a mirror match-up. Guess that comes with the territory because I try to play all 3 races as opposed to understanding a single race fully.

This poll kinda helps explain the feeling that there aren't many Terrans outside of GSL. I mean, if you look around at discussion threads, featured streams, strategy threads, etc., you rarely come across Terrans on TL. I remember doing a tally a few weeks ago on featured threads, and Protoss and Zerg each have 5-10 more featured streamers than Terran.

I've seen this logic before regarding randoms. Having played 2k games as random, one of my best MUs is PvP, I'm pretty good at ZvZ, and decent at TvT. Why do people claim that mirror MUs should be more difficult for random players?

Regarding the polls, I play to get better and I sometimes stress about it. But I only have so much time to play as work, gf, etc. are important to me. I didn't feel that that question covered my approach to the game.

I'm random as well. I don't have any problems with mirror matchups - they're usually my strongest (except TvT). However, I have huge problems with playing against Terrans. I find their capabilities to hold positions (siege tanks, turrets, marines) ridiculous. The fact that all Terran units are incredibly cost effective doesn't help my frustration against Terrans.

It might be a mental thing, I don't know.

For me ZvP creates the most frustrating and helpless moments, and feels like there are so many different ways to lose. This of course is due to it being my worst matchup.

I'm actually surprised how few Zergs seem to list their worst MU as ZvT. I feel like in ZvT it's just so difficult to secure an advantage. MULEs negate a lot of harassment damage, marines are super powerful and cost efficient, drops are devastating, blue flame roasts a mineral line in seconds, etc. Combined with the fact that T has the most diverse, effective builds and you have a difficult task ahead of you as a Zerg player IMO.

At least against 'Toss and Zerg I feel like I can tell when I'm ahead or behind and can tell exactly why I lost a certain game, etc. Against Terran it's just an uphill battle fighting against a superior economy, superior defense, and hyper effective units.

If you voted ZvP or ZvZ as your worst MU, what about ZvT makes you feel more comfortable than either of those two?

It's OK that you can have an off-race, but I think that voting on other's polls seems kinda wrong, lol.
