2. i cant really follow build orders well as zerg and cant determine when to stop making drones and units
3. best match as z is zvz yea it doesnt make sense zvt is decent my zvp prolly worst mu

2. i hate playing gosu zerg players when im p ill lose
3. i have most fun playing protoss cuz of reavers and storms
4.macro is decent not bad not the best

Stop APM spamming. There's just no way to get 200 apm and not be macroing at all without spam.

And that's all you need to write. Any problems with your play can be improved through practice, so all other points are almost irrelevant compared to this. You can't make a race more fun to play, but you can improve how you play them, so always pick the one you enjoy most regardless of anything else.

pick protoss
i can take you

Yeah.

If you're having the most fun playing protoss, play protoss. If you try to main as a race you don't enjoy playing, you will end up offracing quite a bit. Also, if you're having fun playing it will make it easier to improve. So... protoss is the way to go.

From another thread of this ilk:

ezpz! pick zerg if you like to taste 100 different kinds of cheese. Pick protoss if you don't like to know what your opponent is doing and pick terran if you like having to be twice as fast as your opponent to just stand a chance.

No matter what race you pick you're gonna have a hard matchup. If you went with Zerg you'd be complaining about MnM being OP. Terrans will whine about Toss 1a2a3a, etc. Sure, a lot of people think PvZ is the worst matchup, but enough storms and smart sair/dt usage will get you through 90% of zergs until you get to a high enough level for the balance to REALLY have an effect.

Regarding "EZ win protoss fag," I take it as a good sign that every race is looked at as easy mode by some people. That means the game is fairly balanced. "What a noob, all you have to do to win as Terran is press O" "What a noob, all you have to do to win with Zerg is mass hydras and A move" "What a noob, all you have to do to win with Toss is 1a2a3a" "MnM is broken" "Ultraling is broken" "Storm is broken." I'm sure everyone reading this thread has seen all those at least once. No matter what race you pick, someone will think you're a bad person for it, so just ignore them and play who you want.

Imagine yourself 1000x more awesome:

Do you want to be just like:
Bisu, Flash, or Jaedong

What style of Starcraft do you *want* to play? Also, what do you already enjoy about Starcraft?
I hate Starcraft

EVERYONE has trouble macroing as T, everyone has an easy time macriong as Z, PvZ is hard, if you love storms and reavers, play protoss.

I play T because I simply love siege tanks, I love marines, I love irradiates, I love spider mines (I mean cmon, they are mini-nukes with detection and invisibility!) I even love SCVs, how can I not play T, even if my Z is probably better (yes, I know, its not as hard).

Play what you love, you will work out the strategical kinks and whatnot later.
