Terran requires more micro in their vZ matchup, but then PvP is the most micro oriented matchup in the game. It's pretty similar overall. | ||

Just because you have units that move at 3.375 speed does not mean it requires more micro. Protoss out of all races has the most casters and the most active unit production--you have to actually look away to create units. On top of this the race has biggest emphasis on meaningful unit formation (Terran and Zerg almost non existent), and landing multiple spells correctly to trade even. I.E The way Morrow was describing ZvP battles ( Blink micro, FF's/Storms, Colossus focus firing Infestors, etc) EDIT: Watch the Xiaot vs MC Starswars game also, there were micro battles going on so intense that both players hit 400APM for periods of time. | ||

Because IdrA is a protoss right? You guys have to be trolling. Watch MC play, his APM is almost always higher than any terran opponent. Thorzain's APM was about 170 and around 230 in battles in their games, IdrA's APM is around the same, MC has ~300, higher during battle, and he has spiked up to 400+. Who does more micro depends solely on the player, the fact you are trying to argue that one race is more micro intensive than another is retarded. | ||

Or do you think that no PvZ games at the high level go to late game? You beat it the same way you beat anything else. Roach/infestor/corruptor with an emphasis on infestors and corruptor overkill, since infestor/roach will take out stalkers. The infestor buff made the composition weak to fungal and neural parasite. 1) Worthy of being mocked? You should calm down, I know it's a heated balance discussion but I asked an actual question, I wasn't trying to make a point. The only thing "worthy of being mocked" was your answer. 2)No, honestly, all ZvPs I've seen recently have either been an early timing push from one or the other, or ended badly for the zerg. I was under the impression that this is what had been figured out, how to kill the protoss early. 3) Thanks for finally answering. If you know of such a game, I'd like to see it. | ||

Being on TL so much and playing with BW vets in such a insular hardcore community. You forget that 99% of people are noobs that just want to fly big motherships around the map. Its really pretty neat that Blizzard focus as much as they do on us because we clearly are not the majority lol. There are many people who really don't care about campaign, myself included, I started it on hard or brutal and haven't even played 3 missions. I don't see whats so HARDCORE about beating a single player. Scripted encounters, you can play em over and over till you win. GJ. | ||

Okay then. That has nothing to do with micro. And still in that case it comes down solely to the player. | ||

I personally think that terran has more capability for multitasking. As heavenly said, the races are extremely similar. However, while protoss is strong in a deathball, it's weak split up. Terran's strength is in small mobile groups hence players that take advantage of the high multitasking ceiling such as MMA do very very well. however, multitasking is a different discussion to micro. | ||

It takes just as much multi-tasking--if not more due to how bad gateway units are--to defend multiple positions as opposed to being the one hitting those places. | ||

Lol, or watch IdrA 1a his army Micro is mostly strategy dependent, not race dependent. Mech builds that Goody uses for example require very little micro, but good macro, positioning, and timings. Heavy bio builds are much more micro intensive, especially if ghosts are abundant, and heavy drop play is very multi-tasking intensive. Protoss heavy sentry usage is very very micro intensive, while heavy collosus play is relatively light on micro requirements. Heavy blink stalker usage is very micro oriented as well. Even with Zerg, destiny style ling/infestor is very very very micro intensive, as micro will completely determine if he wins the entire battle with minimal losses, or loses everything without doing any damage at all, similar to mass sentry strategies with protoss. Baneling drops are also way hard to pull off effectively, if you don't think so then try it. Mass roach strategies require little micro however, and rely upon positioning, macro, and timings. | ||
