Maybe in SC1, but in SC2 Protoss is anything but an "A-move" race. Especially in HotS. I feel like Zerg would be much easier to play with a 360 controller. Not because Zerg is an easier race, but because engaging comes down more to a-moving than Protoss and Terran. Zerg is still difficult, don't misunderstand me, but it's more about setting up flanks. Good positioning, that kind of thing. I feel like with a controller, moving your units into position isn't as much of a difficulty leap from mouse and keyboard to a controller than spell casting is (blink, ff, storm, time warp, etc). Note: I'm not a defensive Protoss/Terran player trying to put down Zerg. I play random at a mid master level so I do have respect for all the races. | ||

Don't worry, i think you spoke your points clearly and in a manner that i don't think your trying to put down zerg. I'm only a diamond zerg myself, but i agree with you. | ||

I think zvt will be really difficult with a controller as you actually need to multitask. In pvt you can preemptively deny drops with cannons + Ht's. That isn'¨t possible in zvt, and as your camera movement is so slow with an controller it will be a much bigger handicap. | ||

Actually I do quite well in my masters ZvT's I found you can put an ultra and bane ling at the main and the third and the have a powerful drop defense against high multitasking terrans. Each race has its own difficult and easy styles, one race is not necessarily more difficult then another. | ||

Actually double tapping hotkeys works quite well for drop defense  EDIT: also you can have edge scroll set to highest value so in worst case scenario you can use it. | ||

Hmm.It might be worth it to set the value higher on the scroll value, as its how I get around the map. I currently have it at 20% might wanna play around with increasing it some. | ||

Clips of this music video and miniguns game were combined to get what you see in that gif. The music video can be found here : Enjoy ^_^ | ||

I think Protoss would be the easiest to play with a defensive style (mech would be easy too). Nah you can't put each race into box's like that. All the races and turtle and aggressive styles ^_^ | ||
