So am really interested just to see how bad it is with the Zerg at this moment and find out why it is like it is.

Hoping this poll with put some more light on the situation.

So if you want to discuss please don't start about just what is wrong specifically but in a more general manner with just one sentance on what you choose and why. Would be extremely interesting to see what the results will be and what is to expect in the near future of us players.

Edit: Know I took many options but want us to more specifically know what people are thinking, everything is not easy.

Where's the "too many options" option?

Far too many options in this pool. I'm zerg and will stay zerg but have some of my own ideas (like every single other zerg out there) for how to make the race better.

I played Zerg, now I play Terran.

Zerg are underpowered, boring and totally reactive. Terran are strong and force your opponent to adapt to what you are doing, not the other way around. TvT is also the most fun mirror match, ZvZ and PvP are both joke games.

You forgot the "Am Zerg and considering to consider considering giving thought to change race the last few days because it's neither fun, balanced, because of unbalance."

I'm not considering switching permanently, but I'm considering using this time to work on my offraces. My build order and matchup understanding for T and P is pretty abysmal in the matchups that I don't play, and I'd like to correct that.

Was Zerg in BW, am Zerg in SC2. I'm not going to bounce around from race to race hoping what I have is the current FotM.

I actually like the feeling right now and even one of my opponents gave me props for sticking with Zerg as he said he doesnt see them around that often.

That being said, I feel like they could really use another unit (whether that be the lurker or not, who am I to say). Hopefully said unit if not the lurker will be a sort of caster with a 'use' ability or two.

I don't mind the reactive play at all. In fact I sometimes have games where I make them react to me then make a huge switch and win. (Happened twice tonight actually)

Zerg in bw, Randomed in sc2 then started to play only Zerg. I started to get bored/frustrated of Zerg(no comment about the balance though) I guess so I started to play around with Protoss. I'm not sure what it is but it just felt a lot more 'free'

I actually switched from Terran to Zerg (temporarily). Obviously it doesn't help my record, but every man must do his part. We shouldn't depend on Blizzard until we've exhausted all of our ideas.

Intending on going back to Z when (if?) it's fixed, but switched to Terran yesterday and promptly gained 200 points and 30 ranks in my diamond division.
An expert is someone whose made all the possible mistakes there are to make in a very narrow field.

A simple yes or no poll would've been way better.
I tried T/P in sc2 but z's where it's at for me.
I was Z in bw, will be z in sc2 forever.

I said I dont consider switching but do have issues with them, but that's because I play casually.

If there was pressure on me to perform, or if I had sponsors behind me, I would've switched by now.
