Terran and Zerg players think their shit doesn't stink. That's not surprising.

When a Zerg’s mineral line goes up in smoke, they hold down the “d” key and get back to business as usual as best they can. A Terran drops mules and continues production while seizing the initiative with drops and harassment.

Are you just trying to trigger people? Why can't we enjoy some peace before the holidays.

Maybe deleting Protoss would do the trick!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I mean, you could write an article about how well Hitler did unifying a Germany that was destroyed from WW1, but it wouldn't make everything else he did less horrible.

great article - as a Protoss player myself, I really enjoyed the read. It made me feel a bit better, given all the hate being spewed towards us lately.

Did you just compare Protoss to Hitler...

On a more positive note, great article! Well written, and the content is so true, I was nodding my head in sad agreement all the way through the process of reading it.

They really can't be compared.

At least Hitler had some redeeming qualities.

And really, how can be protoss weaker? How can capital alien space ships lose against texans with rifles or some random animals with a high reproduction rate. It simply does no sense. The game works as intended.

My life for Aiur.

Excellent write-up. After doing some off-race customs vs. Ai as Protoss, along with your piece, I have some newfound respect for the race.

Another thing that contributes to this quite a bit are the PEOPLE that play protoss. There are a lot more quirky protoss players that try crazy things and write detailed guides on how to do said things. Just look at the great big book of protoss bullshit - I don't see a zerg or terran equivalent anywhere.

I'm sure just as much zerg and terran BS exist, but there are not nearly as many guides on them so people don't use them as much.

Warp gate is the worst idea one could have, I entirely blame most of SCII issues on it.

Sidenote on a protoss question that buzzed me : "Aiur" sounds like "ailleurs" which means "elsewhere" in French but I've not seen any word on it, maybe it's just a random homophony.

For a Protoss it's totally common to hear the words "OP Protoss" or "Protossed"

I was just complaining about hellions the other day, and people were saying it was weird to do so. But now I have an article to help validate my opinion in a roundabout way. Perfect

All seriousness, Protoss is a bit too strong due to the new chrono. After the patch, it will be better. Skytoss is still super strong but what else is new? As a Z, I find Terran is more OP race but again no one cares given Terran whining is too strong compared to other races' whining.
