Gives you a great deal of respect for random players who experience everything, doesn't it? No it gives me respect for people who play all three races. Random players are a separate breed altogether deserving of no greater respect than a purely Terran, Protoss or Zerg player. | ||

I hardly have trouble defending going FE unless I'm taken by some all-in I didnt scout for, which is of course, completely my fault. Not the games. | ||

You have NO idea how frustrating it is to see zerglings run in to your main because you missed the forcefield by a single cell, or see you're entire army get wrecked because of a single bad forcefield. Even said, wasnt nearly as reliant on spells as they are now. In BW, protoss units atleast had the ability to stand on their own (dragoons?zealots?Archons?). Half of the things you listed arent even spells, zealot bombing and reaver micro is more akin to what zerg and terran do with their drops, since protoss drops are virtually nonexistent. | ||

In terms of overall (mechanical of course) difficulty, I can't see anyone disputing Zerg>Terran>Protoss. | ||

(this is also why they do so well on ladder which baffles blizzard). Terran's macro isn't so straight forward that's the main problem I have when playing them. My only problems as protoss and resisting the urge to go kill him instead of attempting to defend muta harass. In terms of overall (mechanical of course) difficulty, I can't see anyone disputing Zerg>Terran>Protoss. Yeah, Protoss macro is relatively easy compared to the other races, but i think blizzard makes up for this with their very unforgiving micro. | ||
