Best SC2 race?

Post » Fri Sep 11, 2009 12:48 am

Time for some controversy!!

Vote for your most favourite SC2 race!

Is it the sheer military presence and ground-pounding armour of Terran that leads you to victory?
Is it the brute force, technology and survivability of Protoss that reigns supreme?
Is it the nasty, aggressive and relentless terror from Zerg that sends your foes running?

My favorite race is Zerg (which I voted for). However Zerg is, IMO of course, probably the worst race of the three in competitive multiplayer right now.

Zerg are overpowered. Get over yourself. Protoss are only good before high diamond. Fact.

I guess there have been patches since I stopped playing then.
Also putting "Fact." at the end of your posts doesn't make what you say a fact.

I guess I should elaborate, I've never ever been a competitive SC2 player, thus I have nothing to "get over" and I fully resent the hostile tone of your post. Zerg being UP was the vibe I gathered from SC2 replays and battle casts that I watched. I'm fully open to admitting they have been changed and made OP and I did not know.

Please refrain from such aggressive posts in the future.

Terran is best atm, but with a skilled player involved, all three races are just about as good each as other. Depending on the player of course lol ~_~

Zerg UP? With 300 food roach/hydra/corruptor pushes? No. Zerg's only production building is the hatchery, and once zerg expands to 4-5 bases, sorry anyone. You should actually play the game before going on about how a race is underpowered. Seriously.

In Desert Strike i'd back Protoss for the win. Colossus, mass of zealots and fade's and you've got a home run victory. Still, a wave of Ultralisks does stop pretty much anything :)

i usually play toss. lots of strats, ranging from 4gate to one base mommaship.

Sometimes tho, i go random . if zerg, i usually go sort of a mass queen strat and heal everything. if terran, double factory and double starport, blue flame helions and air supremacy.

Not an RTS guy but from watching my friends play, always thought the zerg's infestation and subsequent self-destruction was always the best part of the game.

I only play protoss but I think zerg is the best race.

Between zergling speed, mutas' speed/attack/cost ratio, roach damage/armor/cost ratio, queens (+all of their abilities), infestors, spine crawlers, brood lords, the ease of tech switching and the massive amount of units that can be produced at once from a small number of buildings, I think they are the most powerful race. Protoss and Terran are about equal, I think, after the latest patch. The only way I can conceivably beat zerg ground forces is to force field the army in half. If he goes muta/ling and is good at it, it's pretty much impossible for me. If I defend the back with my units, the zerglings will own the natural expansion. This can be stopped with cannons, but then I won't have enough to make a good enough ground force to deal with mutas. Not to mention that protoss anti-air units are two: Stalker and Phoenix. These are both fail to hydras or roaches which can easily be switched to ;) Nothing to say about ZvT, but I'm guessing it's not much easier for the Terran, banelings and all.

Personally, I think Terran is the easiest race to play, simply because of marines :/

I play random, but... Terran is definitely the most versatile and strong race in SC2. You can do crazy rushes, sneaky tech and near unstoppable expansive macro play. Terran is rine rush, terran is rine tank push, terran is hellion drop, terran is banshee rush, terran is MULES!, terran is planetary fortress gold expansion and last but not least terran is mass MMM. A terran won the GSL last January. TERRAN IS OP! (IMMVP is too :)
Any1 from Crytek want a 1v1? If I win I want a free copy of Crysis 2 :) Cmon I'm just a little diamond noobie ;)

They aren't. I've beaten master league players with Zerg and I'm in Bronze.

Protoss all the way

Who doesn't like hearing "You must construct additional pylons" and fighting for Aiur? Also, WhiteRA has really been an inspiration to all Protoss players ever since the SC2 beta.
