Plansix's underlying point is that this argument is a dead end as far as discussion goes. There's no argument that can be made for or against that rises above the level of contradiction. It may be theory that seems to fit the situation as far as you can tell, but that's all we can really say.

I didn't say that was the reason why you lose games to other players of your skill level. Matchmaking puts you in que with someone you should beat 50% of the time and lost the other 50% of the time. I don't feel better or worse than the people I'm que'd against. It's pretty widely accepted that Terran is the most frustrating and hardest race to play at low levels just because of the effectiveness of A move in comparison to the other races. I'm just pointing out that this game isn't balanced for the average player, and it is fair for a Terran player to feel frustrated with how hard it is to make their units work effectively.

Its a purely anecdotal narrative, no different from "the earth is flat, because hey, I look outside and it looks flat"

Mostly its an outlet for angry player who want to shift blame of their inequities to race instead of to their own personal saga.

"They can be both under powered and over powered at the same time."

Terran can be overpowered and underpowered at the same time. It comes with the territory. This isn't chess. This is an asymmetrical game.

Protoss and Zerg 1A are much stronger than Terran 1A. Terran also lacks easy to execute cheeses in the early game, when compared to the Protoss and Zerg counterparts.

The amount of cheeses that can kill a Terran is atleast twice the number of cheeses that can kill the other races.

Oh man, lets go straight to the classic dota 2 argument of "Its the match making that made me lose the game! They are holding my glory back with their need to keep me at 50%" Seriously, that is what people do because they can't whine about the other races being imbalanced, because everyone can pick everything.(though the match making does get fucked up by smurf accounts)

And it is widely accepted that Terrans like to say their race is the hardest and required the highest mechanical skill at low levels. They also like to say the game isn't balanced for them, because they aren't top tier GSL players. It is the perfect argument. Your losses are never your fault and terran starts winning everything in Korea, you can just claim its because they are the perfect starcraft humans. You can never lose, because all the other players took the easy path and picked zerg or protoss.



Why blame yourself when you have a way to blame everything else? If its not balance, its because the map favored the race that isn't mine or some other BS. Seriously, I know I am bad at SC2 and Dota and I just take my lumps and move on.

It's harder to be pro-level with Terran than the other two races.

At the very least, let's all agree that Terran is the most manly race.
