I’ve just had an epiphany. Zerg is the macro race and Terran is the micro race. What is Protoss? Well, very often, games usually come with some easier options for casual players, options that don’t require a lot of effort to get a lot done, but aren’t as powerful in the hands of an experienced player.
Protoss is the casual race. This is why they dominate the ladder yet are unable to win premier tournaments. The race is easy to play, but once you get to the highest level, players who chose to master the difficult races are just better.
I’ve already proven terran is the casual race. Based on how overpopulated it is in lower leagues and how it has the most noob friendly mechanics (supply drops, mules, easy MMM builds, easy walling, easy macro mechanics) everything about terran is easy on the mind. Which is why it attracts the casual player. But nice try taking my thread. It was a good attempt, but you’re wrong
You should rename this post to TCF whiner gets shut down for the 500th time. Or just delete your post to save face (not that you have anything worth saving at this point)
It’s overpopulated in lower leagues because
→ It’s the first race in the tutorial
→ It’s the humans, who are familiar
→ It has the most familiar (NOT easy) mechanics to traditional RTS
→ It’s the first race in the campaign, which is free
This has been explained to you PPP trolls ad nauseam, but it just doesn’t seem to stick, does it? Players in lower leagues (Bronze and Silver at least) don’t even know what an orbital is.
Also, scans are not “forgetting detection”, they are the detection and require you to fall behind economically because you’re spending MULEs to get those scans, assuming you even have enough energy banked up. It’s also not difficult to bait your opponent’s scans out and then kill them. Orbitals don’t generate energy very fast.
As far as I’m aware, outlandish claims like this need some kind of evidence, don’t they? And as I’m both a Terran and Protoss player, I can assure you that you have no idea what you’re talking about, since Protoss is significantly easier on the mind than Terran. But you’d not know that, since you only play Protoss and you’re in platinum league.
My Proof for Terran being the casual player race…I refer to you proving my point…
You can insult my league all you want, it is the obvious rebuttal of a (prickly and lacking thought). But it doesn’t change that your arguments are trash, and you blatantly copied my older, better, and much more factually accurate thread.
You’re on TTT whine posts timeout for 48 hours, think about what you’ve done
How is P easier to play than T? T is the race of the tutorial, the 1st campaing… cause it is the most player-friendly, it is the easiest to learn to play. You forgot detectors and you have DTs rush in your base? Dont worry, scan. You just got hard harassed and lost all of your SCVs? It doesnt matter, drop mules. Supply block? Extra supply! You find that it is too hard to stop runbys? Make your command center into the literally stronger and most powerful single unit/structure in the game, which can be repaired to be almost indestructible against harass.
The cheese race because playing standard and winning is seeing as broken every time it happened in the past. Players can live with a cheesing race, all you have to do is identify and nerf the cheeses if they win more than they should.
ITT: people who don’t know how Terran works saying it’s easy
All three races are in the tutorial.
It’s the race of the first SC1 campaign too. That has nothing to do with being easy and everything to do with Terran having the most familiar things as they are humans: soldiers, tanks, etc.
It is the easiest race to grasp the basics of because it is the most “traditional” race. It is not the easiest race to play beyond like bronze or silver league.
You don’t “forget” detectors, scan is your main detector. If you’re plastering your base in missile turrets or turrets or anything else like that you’re playing wrong. At the highest level players only get detectors if they scout DT tech, which is why unscouted DTs automatically win so many pro games (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX-2HVBni78, do you reallty think Zest FORGOT to get detection?).
Since you seem to have a stick up your behind with orbitals though, here’s a game where a pro Terran WITH SCANS loses to DTs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXYhnv9pvA8&feature=youtu.be&t=1548 (timestamp included), since you seem to be incapable of understanding that scans actually cost energy and can’t just be dropped on a whim.
Since MULEs are a necessary mechanic for terran to stay even with the economy of other races, there are very few situations where losing all your SCVs is not a game-ending scenario, even with MULEs. If you’ve done extreme damage to your opponent, then you can still recover. But that’s literally the same scenario inversely; Zerg can instantly remake all their workers, and Protoss can chrono out a ton of probes in no time.
PF is not the most powerful unit in the game (???), and they don’t really stop runbys, they just make them more expensive. Repairing PF is lost mining time + costs money.
Also… you’re not supposed to kill town halls with light harass? Here’s another one, boohoo I can’t kill nexi with light harass because whenever I send 3 stalkers to attack, the Protoss warps in a ton of chargelots/recalls a big ball of units! Recall needs to be removed! Boohoo
Yeah the soul train, which crushed top level players even when blind countered, is totally playing standard and winning
repeatedly suiciding mmm into everything does not make you micro race,terran is the ego race so you can talk about it on the forums to feel better
I don’t know why you want to buff terran though? everything is ranged and there must be an handicap for that or do you want to be ranged and be untouchable against everything?
You are 100% correct. Protoss is a race designed to be overpowered against everybody with the exception of the best players in the world. Against the best, Protoss is actually weak.
Protoss has just as much if not more micro than terran. Pressing T on all of your ranged units, while increasing your movement and attack speed; and being healed at the same time, does not count as micro.
