Hey everyone,

Sorry for the excess of threads - this is the last, and it is very simple. Recently, I realized all my criticism goes for playing zerg being underpowered. What would be interesting to me is a poll of what race you played MOST often when the beta was up. Please answer truthfully!

MOST IMPORTANT: DON'T ANSWER TO MAKE IT EVEN
Poll: What race in SC2 do you play most?

Zerg (152)
 
30%

Protoss (150)
 
29%

Terran (149)
 
29%

Random (64)
 
12%

515 total votes

Your vote: What race in SC2 do you play most?

(Vote): Protoss
(Vote): Terran
(Vote): Zerg
(Vote): Random



If you feel the need, please explain why you play the race most in the replies.

Thanks, and if you havn't voted please do, we want the most accurate info we can get!

I started with toss since they have cool stuff and when I started playing they hadnt even nerfed the immortal build timing. Now I play Zerg, just sort of happened.
Those small maps were like a boxing match in a phone booth.

Started Terran, got bored and didn't play for a while. Switched to Zerg and REALLY enjoyed it, kept it.
Can it be I stayed away too long? Did you miss these rhymes while I was gone?

idk about the others but I play the race I find the most appealing visually
for me, protoss; I do like the look of some of the zerg's units though, like the cute little banelings or the infestors, so zerg is my 2nd : )
also idk abotu zerg being underpowered, go easy on those QQs or people might nerdrage XD

Started with Random and now play Zerg in 1v1 and either Zerg or Protoss in team games (I wish I could Random without Terran being an option...).

Protoss during Beta. Going to play Zerg second phase or launch. Then Terran after, then hopefully be a decent random player :/

I've been random all throughout beta, but I just don't play enough to keep up with all the match ups. Think when it starts up again I'll have decided which mirror I hate the least and pick the race based on that =)

I like terran the most but I have to admit I'm a little disappointed because during development it was seeming like Blizzard had hopes to make both mech and Bio viable in all matchups. but against protoss mech is almost impossible, so much worse than in broodwar. Infantry against protoss just feels wrong to me. Overall though terran has a lot of cool features to them that award creative as well as a "passive aggressive" playstyle in most matchups. TvP feels off though.

I play random.

I do this to get a feeling for every race, especially in terms of timing.
When you want to beat an opponent with a certain race you have to play it for yourself, thats my philosophy atm.

I'll pick my favourite later.

terran, because zerg/toss is boring in sc2. terran is still kinda boring, but more fun than the other two.

and yeah, whats with all these threads?

Started with Random then started playing Protoss full-time because I played primarily Toss in SC/BW. Didn't really like/get bored of the Protoss SC2 playstyle (I wanna play a more Macro toss, but I found you often have to rely on very aggressive 1 base play) and switched back to Random. Was considering switching to Terran after that, but I didn't like how ridiculously OP Terran Mech was at the time, and I didn't like how TvT was playing out at the time (Tanks+Vikings). Was considering switching back to Protoss full-time, but the reasons why I switched from Protoss in the first place still lingered so I switched to Zerg full-time. Ironically I played Zerg first in BW, when I didn't have a strong foundational understanding and used to lurker drop almost EVERY game, before I started playing for reals with Protoss.

Protoss / Random -- I'm really happy at the poll seems really close so far. I enjoy that there are equal representation of all races, BUT I never see any high level diamond zerg (750++)! Where are you guys!? I understand ladder is kind of overrated but you do want your icons right?

Terran.
I originally played Toss in Brood War and planned on it in SC2, but then toss early on in SC2 alpha was still pretty much the same, just stalkers instead of goons, but Terran was really different. I really like BW m&m, so was looking forward to terran bio in SC2. Plus Reapers were EPIC, especially with those bomb things or whatever. Battle Report 2 roach boom boom anyone?

I always find it amazing how these polls eventually equalize at 30%, 30%, 30%, 10%.
