I recommend you pick race you like by the feel and mix it up with terran offrace (unless you pick terran ofc :D) Off-racing as terran rly helped me a TON in my protoss play in terms of positioning and manual micro,(spliting, creating arcs)

I think you already HAVE chosen a race. Random >:D

I played Terran in BW, but I'm a Zerg player in SC2. Why did I switch race? I always loved Zerg in BW, but it is designed to be a swarmy race. With 3 larvae per hatch, there is nothing about outproducing and swarm the enemy. So I play Terran since it's a human race, and I like being able to push out early. When SC2 came out, I test play each races. Terran is about the same, except the add-ons and more micro managements. Zerg, on the other hands, now have the ability to fulfill the swarmy race. I play more Zerg than Terran, and eventually, I got the Zerg race down. I love the Zerg, but can't play it unless I got the feeling of the race down, including the mechanics. That's how I pick my race, Zerg. I then retried Terran in HotS since they got the old BW units back (in a different way), however, they changed the dynamic of the widow mines, and that killed me. I gave up on Terran race in HotS. That's my story. You can still play random. Didn't TLO join the pro-scene with random race then Terran, then Zerg?

There is a set of random icons, so playing random is fine. I play Terran in solo most of the time because it is my best race and favorite race, but in Team games I roll random because it is fun. There really is no reason to pick a single race, heck TLO switched races so even pros do it. Do what you have fun playing. If you really want to focus on one race, I'd say play like 20 or so games with each race and go with the one you feel you are the best at. But don't worry if you wanna play another race no one is gonna judge you.

Play a friend and when they start beating you with every single race, you will want to stick with one out of anger.

roll a dice maybe...
Also,picking Z might hinder you because PvZ and ZvZ might be way different if the opponent knows your race from the beginning, thus you will fell like you don't have that much experience in those 2 matchup like you did before when playing random.

My advice as a random/Terran player is to play the race that you find least stressful because stress takes the joy out of entertainment. If you are having trouble getting promoted, play some custom 1v1 with your weakest race and focus only on that for a day or two and then the next day(s) focus on another race. It always helps to get a little extra practice to work on your mechanics and BOs.
