The most feared race

[PurplePoot]

I agree with you that both costs are relevant, I'm just saying that totalling them up can lead to really misleading situations. For example, if a Zerg opponent is massing Mutalisks, gas isn't particularly important as Terran (you'll want a few geysers going but definitely not full saturation on 4-6 geysers).

 

[Aslit]

wow i cant believe how many ppl fear zergs.... i was amazed that the number is greater than 0

 

[Aslit]

and then u say that banelings are useful..

 

[Aslit]

rushing is gay, for ppl who cant make a real strategy

 

[Rispetto]

That's a triple post ^
Death by lynch anyone?

Edit:

 

[TwistedImage]

People who can't use grammar deserves to die!

Also, wtf @ the triple poster. Banelings aren't useful? You're stupid.

Rushing wins games, on occasion. I rush when I think my enemy can't counter. I'm usually right.

 

[Aslit]

yey a game that last 5 minutes, thats a lot of fun, if i start doing that gay stuff playing against friends im sure they wont play with me anymore, and vice verse, go get some friends

Its more like: "Yey i won a game, by any means necessary."
If you hate being rushed, you fail. I never get rushed successfully and i usually win after that. I'm anti-cheese/rush kind of guy. I love it when they try it on me.

 

[Aslit]

playing terran in sc2 means that ull never get rushed successfully, i didnt ment to say that its a deadly strategy, just that it is stupid and gay

 

[TwistedImage]

It is deadly against the right people, just like every other tactic. There's a reason rushes and VR spam are overrepresented in bronze, you know.

 

[Aslit]

vr is more useful against a few strong units, not that much against an army of whinies

 

[PurplePoot]

Terran is anything but unrushable.

 

[Aslit]

at the beggining it is

 

[tagg1080]

Ever heard of baneling busts?

I have moved burrowed roaches into bases when they are moving stuff around and harrassed the crap out of them before.

How about zealot rushes? (2 gate zealot spam used to work, don't know after patch)


Terran can easily be rushed, just like anyone else.

Just for the fact of creep and queens, I would say that zerg are the hardest to rush, but that is me.

 

[PurplePoot]

2gate doesn't work vs Terran, unless you mean proxy.

 

[Aslit]

u can hardly use melee units to rush terran due they obstruct the entrance to their base and then use ranged defense

 

[Dark Hunter1357]

Only baneling busts can be used, but that's not a rush. Its a timed push.
Zerg are easiest to rush, they can't block. A protos can use cannons and gates to block, and zealots on hold.

 

[PurplePoot]

A baneling bust isn't a timing push--it doesn't seek to exploit... well, any timing really.

 

[Shockwaver]

I hate to face terran because of vikings and battlecruisers

 

[Rowboat]

100% Terran. Because they are simple enough for everyone to own with them.

Also because of their vikings/siege tanks/marine rushes. Those are the three things that i hate the most about them. ~ Plays Protoss

 

[PurplePoot]

Protoss players saying Terran is easy to play?

Well, that'll be the day.

 

[HINDYhat]

It's pretty much undeniable that you need better macro, micro, and decision making if you're going to be playing terran as opposed to protoss. Just saying.

 

[Aslit]

at least in sc1 ppl alway complained about how protoss were overpowered and noobfriendly

 

[BlinkBoy]

It's pretty much undeniable that you need better macro, micro, and decision making if you're going to be playing terran as opposed to protoss. Just saying.

not really, just better macro and be more cheesy.

protoss is a micro oriented race, every single unit of them has an ability to exploit. Learning to exploit each ability to the max and micro your army correctly is the key to win as toss.

back to topic:

the race i fear the most is zerg, mainly because of muta harrasses and how easy they expand. I need to play agressively in order to avoid them of getting more than 50% map control.

Also lastest patch has made my TvZ opening harder since now i get 12 rracks and by them the zerg may have actualy placed their expansion. I like to block it with a bunker closed by mineral lines so they can't surround it and i can repair it.

 

[Owenalacaster]

Naga.

 

[Aslit]

i would love to see naga in sc2

Protoss players saying Terran is easy to play?

Well, that'll be the day.

There was a thread about how Zerg were incredibly overpowered and that a-moved banelings required pro level micro to defeat. This was apparently because Terran has no viable counters at T1.5 for banelings.

 

[Aslit]

zerg overpowered??? what game are u playing?

 

[PurplePoot]

I hate how people keep saying that Protoss is a micro oriented race and Terran is a macro oriented race as if they have never watched any tournaments recently which indicate that exactly the opposite is the case...

Yes, players like KiWiKaKi are obsessed with micro (Kiwi is a wc3 player, so go figure), but Terran is a race that absolutely has to harass all game to win. Protoss (in both PvT and PvZ) is very comfortable just sitting back, macroing up, and then doing one or two huge pushes to win. Obviously they should still pressure their opponent too, but they are not dependent on denying the late game to have a chance at victory.

There are a lot of stupid threads on TL (presumably this is where you found it). All you really need is good positioning, good micro, and a few marauders.

I wish the SC2 scene wasn't so big so people might start thinking about what they say instead of copy-pasting old opinions from frustrated pro-gamers.

Protoss macro pretty much comes down to "Oh, my money is high? Let me just instantly spawn X units to put that back down." As for micro, just put your zealots in the front, A-move, and spam the F key.
Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration, but compared to both of the other races I don't see how protoss requires more micro.

 

[Aslit]

that was a reply to me?

 

[Coolty44]

that was a reply to me?

Nope, your just quoted with your name and everything.


On-Topic- I'm starting to like all the races equally, since I've slowly begun learning Zerg and Toss.

 

[PurplePoot]

I really dislike Protoss, since I find them kind of boring and not as challenging. I also don't really like their units for some reason, but that's a different story.

Terran and Zerg are both fun, but I prefer Terran because the harassment style fits me.

 

[Carter_117]

i dont know why but i just dislike protoss.. i have trouble with mass stalkers, it just dosnt seem to go well for me. (not just stalkers but usually a few collosi and some other units depending on the other player of course)
