Which Race Do You Play?

[ggurface]

How did you pick your race?
Based on how units look? Or specific units abilities?
Did you play Starcraft 1?
Did playing Starcraft 1 and/or Brood War influence your decision?

I picked protoss because I played protoss in Starcraft 1. The more I play the more I realize protoss is no longer the ability heavy race I thought it was, there's many abilities for Terran and Zerg this time around. I still remember the fun times I had with multiple recalls and stasis.

I used to play Protoss in Sc1 a lot, my second hand race was Terran.

I have to get used to SC2 to consider which race I really want to play as. So far, I am having an easier time microing with Terran, but I still need to produce units faster. I might do Zerg in Sc2, but I need to see how they work this time.

Protoss is a no brainer, I'm horrible with Zerg, and I'm ok with Terran. There's something about the Protoss that says power to me, maybe it's the shields...

Hi..................



Classes: I’ve played Combat Rogue BC, and Prot Warrior, I just prefer melee. You might prefer anything, but to start, you should try playing a melee dps, because they are generally easier to level than a clothie or a healer. A paladin would be a great choice because they can effectively DPS, Tank, or Heal depending on spec you use, and they start with Mail, replaced with Plate armor @ level 40, and have decent healing for grinding and solo questing.



Thanks

Very large failure you are. :yikes:

To actually post on topic. I've rarely played starcraft ever, but when I did I played protoss.

Just a WoWtard 2 posts above and troll. I'd go the TeamLiquid style and ban such on the minute.

My order of playing Blizz games is: Starcraft&Brood War from release to '99. Diablo 2 LoD, Warcraft 2 BtdP from 2001-2003. Warcraft 3 from 2003-2008/2010. Starcraft 2 from 2010+ In this range my races in sc-war2-3-sc2 were Protoss (just copy my bro), then Human in war2, then Human in war3 and some time before War3 I switched to terran and decided to follow the Human line, so Terran in SC2.

Hi ggurface you can figure out my name who I am at hiveworkshop? That's my official name btw excluding the 1337 form

So where the heck are you Chris, honestly I dont care that this place consist of 10 members I don't mind chatting with the 2-3 persons I know like the good old times than the mass of tards at TheHiveWorkshop who think they know melee, bnet features and such. the mapmakers

Played Terran in SC when they were the underpowered race that relied on positioning and strategy.

Was Undead in WCIII.

Played Terran for 4 months in SCII, switched to Zerg a few months ago.

Reasons:
Zerg is closer to Undead than anything. In addition, I hate the marauder. Went 20-9 into my diamond ladder without ever once building a marader. Got tired of Terran as a bull**** a-move race.
Zerg is a much stronger race. It's more rewarding to play, and takes more skill. The minute Terran loses the marader I'm going back to them.

 

[CerebralChain]

I guess I'll have to say Protoss since that's what I played in BW, but I wanna try the other races too, so I switched to Zerg a couple of days ago. I still suck, though.

I just can't stop staring at all the cool buliding animations and studying the units, so I easily lose my focus and the games I play

 

[betaalpha5]

i like to play random. i think my worse race is protoss. i'm pretty good with zerg, it's just harder sometimes to create a relatively large army. i just have a harder time going moving away from gateway units

 

[numb2k3]

I exclusively played protoss on Starcraft so I mostly play Protoss on Starcraft 2 but I also play Terran once in a while. Hate zerg x_x

 

[Emperor Pan I]

Zerg takes the most skill to play.

Mostly becasue what a Terran and Protoss can do to beat a zerg is much easier to execute than what it takes for a Zerg to defend. That being said, when a Zerg knows what they are doing, they will almost always win. Zerg are really ****ing strong when the right player is using them

 

[TrongaMonga]

What exactly is so strong about the Zerg?

Anyway, untill I get myself a better computer and can play without having a 10 seconds break every minute, I'll be sticking with Random! But I prefer Terran for the time being as they're pretty automatic and the music's nice.

Pan: Marauders on the high ground, with slow effect upgrade, are great versus melee units if paired with marines. But I agree, they're a bit fat and clumpsy.

the ability to Macro instantly. I have 2 main hatchs, and 1 natural hatch which can produce up to 21 drones at once which is an entire expansion worth of drones instantly.

A zerg player can do a 300 food push, attacking with a 200/200 army and re-macroing close to 100 extra food as reinforcements. Thats 300 supply thrown at the enemy.

The production ability late game is off the charts.

 

[TrongaMonga]

I agree, Queens are quite powerfull. But since you mentioned it's harder for Zerg to defend, I thought you meant microing/ability wise instead.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

Zerg early game has to balance drone production/army production. The smaller the maps the better this has to be. I need a standing army to simply not die in a push on Steppes of War. I can hold off and drone on Shakuras or larger maps because I am safer.

Plus a Stim timing push or 4gate requires MUCH less skill to execute than a Zerg defence.

I see it's still a like a ghost town on BattleForums, huh?

I am inclined to agree with you there...this and another community I frequent have been very quiet lately.

Zerg all the way baby!
