If you hate losing to cheese (like me) then you feel satisfaction when you beat it with Zerg especially, i have gone through what you are and i try to just not think about it and focus on what i can improve on. If its any consolation as you get better the amount of cheese tends to fall off and you get better at scouting/defeating it. | ||

I am a protoss player that loves macro as well and I am considering switching to zerg because of that :D The thing is, playing vs zerg, you can not go to macro mode because you get automacroed. You have to do a push and deal damage or else zerg's macro just kills you a bit later. That's the reason you see so much early pressure against zergs in the first place. And zergs are susceptible to it because they try to skim fighting units for as long as possible. Although it is true that 200 terran or protoss army is stronger than 200 zerg army even though they have the easiest time replacing a 200 army... Maybe you are not playing correctly in the midgame? That's just how I see things from my protoss perspective. Hope it helps | ||

Zerg is incredibly strong if played well, sure you have your early game weaknesses but you can play safe and win later... the only problem as Zerg i see currently is, its boring. Most of the time you don't even need to scout and know whats coming. Switch Race if Zerg gets too boring, else stick with it, if you loose its because you play bad. | ||

I dont say that protoss is imbalanced since there are ways to stop them to get voidrays + storm but once they have it you cant stop it without perfect micro. | ||

You can turtle up hardcore in the lategame as protoss or Terran get your 200/200 army and you are basically invincible. Piqliq some 3xxx Player is doing the same like every game PvZ he gets Voidrays and mass cannons and in the lategame he adds storm and is basically invincible you cant attack into ~ 15+ cannons the only way to counter voidrays is infestors + hydras, you will never have enough mutas and even if you get enough mutas the toss can switch to phenix ridicilously fast and there is like nothing you can do. I dont say that protoss is imbalanced since there are ways to stop them to get voidrays + storm but once they have it you cant stop it without perfect micro. Your Point is?, your toss buddy will run out of resources sometime soon, just get a few more queens on inject and send wave after wave. +Map Control ftw, expo expo expo. | ||

In other words - the Protoss never attacks uses cannons to secure 4th and 5th bases and still has a 200/200 army to defend his bases, the fact that he turtles doesnt mean he isnt expanding at all - and i dont know if you are a zerg player but its pretty tough to get mapcontrol with roach/hydra on a map like meta cross positions. Protoss late game units are just way more costeffective - even if its like 6 bases against 4. | ||

- You really have to understand the difference between strenght in numbers and raw strenght. With the shitload of small maps there is no "late-game" where zerg can have 5+ hatcheries and win due to numbers. Every 2 player map makes it shithard for zerg to get a 4th base. So if Protoss/Terran is smart enough to turtle and place enough siege tanks/forcefields on these small maps. There is NO WAY that zerg can break in the bases. When they hit 200/200 and move out there is no way you can stop them as zerg. NO FREAKING WAY. But there are other ways of course. But zerg is far from the worst race. Zerg just has to dare to be behind sometimes. Currently all Zergs feel like they have to be in front 24/7. Otherwise the game is lost. I don't believe that. | ||

If you really feel like you might want to change your race, just try to play the other races over a longer period of time and get a feel for what you are most comfortable with. No subjective view on this matter will help you in a useful way. | ||

Especially when you are high up on the ladder it hurts to lose often to such crap. I too have been considering switching to toss but then always remember I have self respect and stick with zerg in the end of the day. Protoss truly takes no skill to master, you could probably learn the race in an hour and then decide which race to play with. I prefer to stick with zerg because the other races just seem to easy. GL with w/e you choose What a dumb ignorant comment. | ||

It's just to the point that unless u get lucky as Zerg and the P or T (especially T) screws up really bad, you don't have an even chance of winning. Zerg is just way too unreliable and weak while it's too easy for Terran especially to just block you out of getting the needed expansions. So unless the T or P makes a colossal mistake, zerg can't win ever? Wow I never knew that. | ||

GL with w/e you choose I used to think protoss took no skill as well, then I raceswitched to it, and its fucking hard to even learn. I lose so much as protoss, its not even funny. They are insanely hard to learn, as you have to have very solid unit control which makes or breaks a game. Protoss is hard to learn, almost impossible to master. | ||

I feel while zerg is the macro race, it has to play pretty offensively to happily expand and macro up more. Obviously the reason for this is due to the lack of being able to bunker in as effectively. As a whole though there is nothing stopping you using the either of the races in a way which fits your style. | ||

You will probably be happiest with terran because their macro is way harder to execute then zerg or toss macro. And you don't have to be that creativ as you have to be with zerg. (dieing to test out burrowed banelings vs heavy sentry toss but must play terran argh ^^ ) But you sound like you want high damage t3 units that weap away everything, so i think you should test out protoss first. It won't be that easy to get there though. edit: noticed alot of zergs complayining about t3 stuff lately (imo zerg was always designed to be strongest with t2, since they are a mass race) , prolly because they don't like their upcoming ultralisk buff. Seems like another plan to get imba ! soooo Evil .... terrans should plot also so 250mm strike canons get aoe stun mwahahaha. | ||
