Poll: Hardest race to play? (Vote): Protoss (Vote): Terran (Vote): Zerg In your opinion which do you think is the hardest race to use? I am a Zerg player and I saw someone say that Zerg was a harder race to use then Protoss. I have never had any problems in learning my race. So which race do you think is the hardest to use. | ||

abcdefghijklmopqrstuvwxyz1234567890 edit: I'd have to say Terran is the hardest race to use because they require so much concentration/attention to use effectively; the Terran units have REALLY STUPID AI compared to Zerg and Protoss Units so you have to be paying attention to your units most of the time on top of macroing and doing everything else that needs to be done. To add to that their units are fragile and for the most part have really crappy mobility. This is offset by the fact that when they are managed correctly, they can get by through pure mechanics alone due to the ranged nature of their units. Zerg is next in line as the zerg macro is a bit more complex than the other two races, their units are very fragile (set aside ultralisks) and you also have to control many units at a time. Fortunately, zerg units are blessed with good AI and are very mobile. Protoss is probably the easiest race to use because they have so many options, their units are very strong and versatile, and the macro is also very basic. The only thing not so easy about Protoss is Reaver micro and aiming spells, but those two aren't even that hard.. and they got cannons, fuck. lol jk  | ||

Protoss is the easiest in both aspects. | ||

It really depends on the player, it's relative to the skill of the player and there choices and the skill level at which its played at. | ||

Zerg is hard, unlike the other 2 you are working to balance economic production with unit production, which sounds simple, but when faced with real situations in a game it becomes MUCH harder to handle. Look at people newly starting zerg, there major problems are the fact they have no idea when to make stuff, or whens the right time to do stuff, like the race of Zerg, the player must use instincts that come with experience (aka Game Sense) to know when to do stuff what to do and timing. Instinct with Zerg is probably the most key factor, that and timing. If you over produce fighting units you can leave yourself at an economic disadvantage, if you overproduce economy, you leave yourself too weak of a tactical advantage, meaning your risking it. Without risk there is no reward though, somewhere along the line you gotta risk something. Flawless play doesn't really exist. Edit: and if you were Bloodhawk-Lz or bloodhawk-lzuruha or something, i remember you. Also this is a pretty bad thread, and is probably going to get closed soon. We have had a few topics on this already, and they just come to people voting whatever race they play. Each race is respectively different and harder in different aspects, but protoss is commonly acknowledged as easiest to use, yet hardest to master, especially on higher levels. Maybe if you asked what race would be good to start with and try to get good with, at which point most would say protoss becuase of how strait forward it generally is, atleast for beginers. | ||

Especially in ZvP, Z can win with good mechanics alone, not that that is easy by any means. | ||

Not saying Protoss is inferior, but definitely the learning curve for Protoss is much easier and once you get the basics down you're good to go to improve. There is a huge gap that Zerg and Terrans have to make, where you see D+/C- Terrans suck soooo much compared to C+, even though the ranking is only a slight difference. | ||

Overall I think Terran is hard because of the mechanics and timings, zerg is next because of how you have to attack, and toss is easiest in most cases in everything. I agree that anything mechanical in P in easier than the other two races. I'm not saying the thinking part of T or Z is easy by any means, but it seems that P is especially difficult in developing its mindset. My point is - It's easy for a P to get to D+ or C- but incredibly difficult to get to B- and beyond | ||

I am considering it, but my P is the only one good enough to beat anyone on ICCup at all, and my friends who play because I convince them too are so bad I can easily beat them in any of the nine matchups. I guess I could just start from square one, read build orders, play online, lose, repeat. | ||
