Ok guys, I'm sick of everyone saying 1a2a3a makes life so easy for protoss. What about supply? For fuck's safe, when you are supply stuck, you have to get a probe, try to build a pylon or two, probably fail when some of your units get in the way, shift click to minerals, go micro your army, then come back to the probe and find out another unit got in its way and try to build it again... etc. It's even worse for terran of course.
But what does zerg have to do?
5so6so7so SUPPLY GG... LOL .5 SECONDS AND I HAVE LIKE 50 MORE SUPPLY NOW IM GONNA EXPAND AGAIN HAHAHAA
AND they get a damn dropship, scout, and detector all in one!
Poll: Your opinion? (Vote): He's right (Vote): He's protoss (Vote): He's drunk
|
I think all 3 of your poll answers are true.
|
Well, in all the zerg matchups it's based on precise micro like the mutalisk micro, flanking, and darkswarm. It would be a pain in the ass to go back to base and make pylons while muta microing. I think the other races have a bit more room to make mistakes except MnM aganist lurkers.
|
Doing that is highly ineffective though, therefore the argument is not really valid. I'd say we just keep tempbanning people who go 1a2a3a, seems to be the right policy to me (and it does help weeding out those 'crimes' , honestly )
|
Anyone who implies that any Starcraft race is easy is plain stupid. Just because protoss can more easily fit their units into relatively few groups doesn't make it an easier race. Stop whining and learn to play.
And have fun with your 20 overlords!
|
He's drunk right protoss.
|
More like "OLOLOL I JUST WASTED LARVAE SO NOW I CAN'T MAKE ANY UNITS."
|
Well, Protoss is easier than the other races, but not overpowered in any way.
|
|
Base building is one of the strong points of P over the other races IMO. One probe can build a whole base whereas Terran need one SCV per building and Zerg have to balance larva in drone / lord / units.
Taking one probe and doing Pylon Pylon Pylon doesnt take that much time ... true 1sO goes faster but your not spending those 3 larva on units.
|
lmao angry sc protoss XDDDDD

Well I suppose saying zerg macro is 5so6so7so is just like saying toss micro is just 1a2a3a, in that they're both highly inaccurate statements only said by newbies and whiners. But it's usually terrans who say toss is 1a2a3a anyway.
Anyone who says protoss is obviously easier and doesn't change to protoss is just stupid or unwilling to admit they suck.

Well in my mind anything less accurate than my inaccurate and arbitrary definition of accuracy of statements is inaccurate enough to accurately judge as intolerably inaccurate.

This is why God Bisu invented Corsairs.

OP is 100% right! I lose 6-10 pylons all the time to a bunch of stacked up mutalisks. Their splash damage once they get +1 weapons is crazy powerful!

I just face palmed. Well, its not entirely incorrect, depending on how you interpret it. Protoss is easier at low-level play, but at high levels, when races reach their potential, it balances out.

And then corsairs/valkyries/goliaths just prevent you from reinforcing for the next 30 minutes while you twitch in nerd rage.

More I read teamliquid, more I regret to play terran.

HAHAHAHAHA he's protoss that poll is so funny
|
I think what is funny is how many people are taking this post seriously
|
Actually, after you click select all on the hatchery, you only carefully select 2 larvae to carefully make only 2 ovies every 30 secs or so, unless you want to end up with 72 extra supply as with your amazing protossish 5so6so7so, oh and i use '4' for my hatchery, I'm surprised you even considered '5' since being a protoss you need only like 2 hotkeys for your army and your gateways can start on '3'.

anyway, I just love it when people constantly find little aspects of game that are easier for one race than the other, and then, in the moment of frustration after a loss, pulling the analogy to the entire race being easier that the other. It's cute imo.
But I hate the fact that some people still wont admit that protoss is the simplest and cleanest race to play. Nobody says they're stronger, but they surely are the race with the least bullshit to put up with.
Don't fucking argue with me. or if you will, plz put it in a spoiler so I dont accidentaly glance over it.

Hilarious OP. I loved the irony of "units getting in the way of placing your buildings" and "micro your army."
|
Yes but can your pylons and supply depots get killed by sair or 2port wraith PvZ or TvZ as easy?
|
2port wraiths sniping ovies is the most frustrating thing in the world. Overlords are so helpless sometimes.

There's so many people saying protoss is the easiest race, however, I've never seen any real arguments or reasons. Saying '1a2a3a' is not an argument. Saying they macro easy is not an argument without quite an extensive explanation. I don't want to argue with you, although I disagree, because I don't think that will do any good. However, I would like you (or someone else if they feel up to it) to explain why you think protoss is the easiest race. I can't think of any convincing reasons myself, so I'm curious really. Maybe you'll even sway me over to the dark side.
|
I don't understand why people say "if you think protoss is easier but you dont switch to protoss you must just suck"
maybe i just like playing zerg?
|
@ least your pylons have a lot of hit points, six times the amount of overlords.
Plus it's not like you are going to lose many anyway, zergs lose overlords all game long which stunts their production.
And is it really that hard to place down 5 pylons @ a time? It's not like you really need to watch your army anyway lol.
But I will agree with you having them all as detectors and drop ships are pretty handy.

People play what race fits their style.
Not what is easiest.

It does not require any explaination because it is just observation. It is quite easy to find C-/C protoss with apm about 120 (dont know about higher levels) but all terrans at this rank have at least 150 apm. Protoss mechanics is the easiest and many terrans play PvT, protoss players on the contrary almost never play TvP. The new maps design to be balanced at progamers level. But if map is balanced for A+ players it will be really bad for D+. The good example is python, there was so many whinings about how it is unbalanced in TvP but TLPD statistics shows that it is terran favoured map!!! So protoss are stronger at lower levels but only because everyone use pro maps and these maps are supposed to be balanced only for pro players.

So, just try reaching C- with all 3 races, then come back here. And I challenge anyone to do this. Reach C- with all races and then say which was the least trouble.

Ok fair enough, I'm just sick of people who make the blanket statement "protoss is the easiest race" without defining what they mean by easy. And somehow a terran or zerg of the same rank as a protoss is "a better player" because they don't play toss. Again you can make a case for it, but simply saying "better" is vague and annoying.

I don't think that's a good experiment. I think the order that you learn the races matters. It's easier to go from switch from terran to protoss or vice versa because of similar mechanics. Also, I think it's easier to go from zerg to any of the other races, but that's only from personal experience. In addition, once you get to C- in any of the races, you already have the basics APM, mechanics, and understanding of two of the matchups.
In conclusion, I don't think that learning all three races allows you to say which is the easiest to play or to get good with.

im T too haha i know,

Terran's fucking easy because all you have to do is build siege tanks + 2343454 turrets + lay mines and wait until Protoss gets so pissed off he runs his maxed army into you and dies then you move out.
I think eVaDe was the god of terran, nobody realizes it tho.

Good Terran players make me cry.

your so dam stupid. Protoss CANT 1a2a3a. It's just a silly thing people say because some people just cant macro for shit. Also so isn't THAT hard, but that's probably just me. For some reason, I have a hard time reaching M for marine and end up hitting , or n so I am going to assume it's just me that thinks 4so5so6so7so is easy to reach

Yes you can, actually. Sometimes I play PvT and once I get 3 control groups of zeal/goon I just attack move the natural and win 50% of my games against D terrans.
But you have to macro, yeah. Easiest macro of any race.

Are you complaining about building pylons? lol

Ok thanks for the advice Next time I play TvP I'll gather the 175759050+ mins to make 2343454 turrets, seige tanks and vultures and I'll win Btw if you want to get rid of the 1a2a3a4a5a joke next time include some 8s or 9s in your post
