Coming back to SC2. We all know Blizz doesn’t balance bronze-plat. So I’m looking for the race that best abuses this imbalance. I’m looking for something I can shamelessly A-move and have my mistakes minimally punished. Please help.
Terran mech, by far the easiest thing on that range, and the only mistake you can doo is not pushing the siege button.

Yeah, I’d say Terran Mech is strongest in low MMR.

I would say Terran. Even Innovation constantly F2s his army. You don’t even need control groups.

Terran but only if your good at TvT because that is what you are going to play.

Statistically, Zerg players have more MMR than the other 2 by about 1 league (Platinum > Diamond, etc.). Also statistically, Zerg players on the Forums tell everyone that Terran is the easiest race despite opinions of every pro to the contrary (twitter. com/IEM/status/970101525166075904).

even the Protoss top players know their race is a lot easier than Terran… I don’t understand why lesser Protoss players don’t admit it too ?? Maybe they just want their race to stay easy so they don’t get demoted…
Terran Mech but you need to be VERY patient.
At lower level Protoss Chargelot Archon Immortal and Zerg Roach Hydra are both very A-move friendly too.

But that doesn’t quite mesh with the facts. Only Zerg gets more MMR for no other reason than picking their race.

but when you play vs them, don’t you feel how strong they are?
No doubt, lol. I also feel how strong they are when I off race with them. PVT is the easiest match up in the game, but Protoss isn’t the easiest race. PVZ and PVP are both quite difficult. In PVT I just kind of pre split and charge in (I do have to split mid charge a little to deal with the mines, though, now).

PvT really is the easiest match up in the game, its nut… they really need to fix that haha, its just plain unhealthy for the game
Just go for the race you like the most, don’t bother looking for the ‘easy’ race. Especially don’t come here to ask it, as you’ll receive 20 different answers, all of them biased.

If ure neutral with all races go with Terran atm they are powerhouse both tech available bio and mech lots of cheap dirty moves aka shift click bio/wm drop or hellions that can insta win you most of the games and terran right now is oh my first 10 shift click attempts did nothing but 11 pass through gg i guess give me my free ladder points but pls bear in mind that eventually you will hit wall where players are good enough so that shenanigans won’t be so successful anymore

Terran mech. Pretty much what most people start with. That’s why bronze is full of Terrans.

It’s a correlation, not a causation. But there’s no evidence to assume there’s any other explanation than that Terran is hardest, especially when coupled with multiple pros of all 3 races stating as such in no uncertain terms, and the fact that it’s not an all or nothing league. They are tiered.
Of the sentences you can think, this is likely the stupidest.
That’s literally what your explanation is. ANYBODY can get out of bronze with any decent level of play. To think that Terrans are in bronze because it’s hard is one of the biggest jokes I’ve ever heard.

No, the weakest are in Bronze, but they are continuously pushed lower and lower, Zerg is continuously pushed higher and higher. You get over-represented at literally every higher league. Were it just Bronze, sure, you could make the case that it’s easier for a newer player, but EVERY lower league?
I didn’t really start out trying to hurt your feelings, but I’m sorry that literally 100% of the evidence points to your race being the easiest. Again, didn’t really start out trying to hurt your feelings, but it is a delicious by-product.
