Switching Race to Zerg

General Discussion
1

Some of you probably know me, I main Protoss.
Used to anyway.
Switched Race to Zerg because Protoss is dumb unwinnable to use with.
I need to play almost 50% more skillful than my opponents.
Being blind in the early game, losing 40 minerals because I need to probe scout every game, observers being useless, need to know your opponent medivacs to shut down the widow mines drop or lose the game, that type of stuff.
Terran just beats Protoss.

So, I changed race to Zerg. Really my best choices in this game. For the first time in forever, the race I played isn’t in a disadvantage. Still pretty hard to beat Terran, but eh, at least I don’t need to play 2x more skillful than other Terran. Just slightly outplay them with Zerg.

In my experience it is not very difficult to play protoss. As zerg it cost me more to get used to the macro terran because it is the opposite. With quite low apm and slow reflexes you can get to master with protoss if you know what to do

Wait until you come up against a good mech player :wink:

Just play random, don’t race switch completely. You get a better understanding of everything that way anyway.

That’s fair, zerg is pretty good.

Not in the real world.

You’re almost getting it, but zerg and terran are pretty even these days imo.

Just never switch to Terran, no matter how bad it gets. Terran is the reason this game is dead.

There is a honey moon just after you switched, but don’t worry the game will start to become frustrating again pretty soon xD

great to see that even in a patch like this, a lot of players are understanding the strength of the swarm

I actually uninstalled the game. All I wanted was to play Protoss and have a lategame option for my army, but I guess we cannot have that…

Its just more fun. Its chaos, its map control, its swarmy. Feels like the opposite end of a tower defense, if you get your opponent really defensive.

I actually started off as zerg. Then switched to terran cause i wanted the inside info as that was my worst mu. Now im back tho

somehow i don’t think you using a probe to scout (the 40 minerals) is losing you games.

all protoss do that, you’re not losing anything, it’s standard. lol. you have the worst possible mind set for sc2. i doubt balance is your problem.

you should. you dont even have to look at your army when you play zerg. F2 a click and go afk and come back and see you won the game.

Bruh zerg thinks toss needs only l2p

17

Start watching replays of your losses. It helps immensely no matter what race you are playing.

18

Nope, I actually changed to Zerg.
At least I don’t lose to Terran because I played “just normally good”, just because I suck.

19

King is pretty reasonable, but I guess from the “50% win rate is OP!” “Terran has the lowest average MMR because it’s the easiest!” crowd you’d expect anyone who plays Terran to be a “whiner.”

He will realize soon that ladder is filled with zergs and will have to play 7-8 games in a row against Z who never makes drones and just do speedling bane all ins.Using 5-6 larva for drones when the enemy is making lings means certain death.
And then he will be the one receiving all the protoss BS and terran turtlers and its variant hit and run terrans (never doing a full attack, just siege outside,stim, snipe a hatch,and then return to base or do that on another location)
