Poll: Which race will you play as your main in SC2?

Too bad Zerg is dead last, but this is good. The less people playing Zerg the better.

 

I think the main reason that Zergs are dead last is because we know soo little about them.
We know alot of the Protoss and Terran's new toys, and people are assuming them to be very cool and unique. Once we learn more about the Zergs, I'm very sure that a lot of people are going to jump on their bandwagon.

 

I think so too, but I still wish that wouldn't happen.  But as if right?  Fat chance keeping the damn bandwagoners off their wagons.

 

I expect the Terrans to skyrocket very soon. After learning all the new toys the Terrans are getting, I'm expecting that there is going to be a lot of bandwagon jumpers ;D

 

Yup, most definitely.  Hope they jump there and stay there. My Zerg wagon ain't got no room for them.

 

ur totaly right remy.
zerg is gonna whoop all the others cant wait to see their new units cause theres no way they will look all pansy like, as some of the other races do.

 

Zerg can't whoop others because there's always a counter. Because...

THIS.
IS.
STARCRAAAAAAAAAAFT.

 

I usually like playing all 3 races and found niches and strats for all of them, but I will still remain loyal to my protoss ^_^

 

I'm still undecided on what race I would be playing and mastering. In SC1, I would switch around and play the races depending on my mood. Although I was decent with all 3 races, I wasn't a pro with any one of them.

In SC2, I have decided to stick to 1 race and fully master it. I'm leaning towards the Protoss and the Zerg at the moment. Even with the recent chaos of Terran units/mechanics and how cool they are, it is clear that the Terrans new style of play isn't really suitable to my taste. Therefore, I'm leaning towards the Protoss givin those 2 choices. Once I fully understand the concept of the Zergs in SC2, then I will conclude which race I am gonna use and truely master it.

 

Right now I'm leaning towards Protoss, although I'm going to have to try them all out before I decide on anything. I've always liked the look and style of the Protoss the most, and their new warp in ability is right up my alley. Tempests, Twilight Archons, and Colossi, oh my!!!

 

Kehm those 3 units are going to be vulnerable to air.
Tempests have no air shields can can be taken down with one Yamato.
Twilight Archons may have steroid-like shields but they have a short range.
Colossi can only attack ground but are struck by air.

 

I was a terran man in the olden days, i'm a terran man now. As Long as I've got Marines, Wraiths (Oh they had BETTER be coming back) and Sci vessels i'm a happy man.

Thor, Viking, and Reapers are just a bonus

 

I realize, but they're my favorite units revealed so far. It's not like I would only try and build them; if I did create them I'd give them some Phoenix or Warp Ray support =). And the Tempests can attack air units, so that group wouldn't be completely defenseless. And Twilight Archons look like they've gotten a range improvement since SC1.

 

I like getting 300 minerals from 1 post too....
After seeing the terrans new units its just too obvious that they are the coolest lol.
Protoss are dumb in my opinion, Arragant, Decadant and underestimating.
Zerg are the smartest. They focus on physical being and are very conservative. If they were to rule the universe it would be a better place. However since im not exactly 100% naturalist i like the terrans. They got the big guns and the guts to use them. They are also very adaptive which is the way i like to play. Im more of a reactive person then a proactive person which might be my downfall alot but its just who i am. Therefore terrans are my race.

 

I think we'll all see the same thing that we saw when SC1 first came out. The beta is going to be extremely lopsided. Protoss will be the most powerful race, once again, and will be closely seconded by the Terran. For some reason, Blizzard LOVES their Protoss. It's like their baby race. Once again they developed the Protoss units and abilities before they did anything else. Therefore, everything will be based on the idea of trying to match the Protoss.

This is why Zerg is going to suck for the first few months. In SC1 patches were necessary in order to even the playing field. Am I ruling out Blizzard learning its lesson and deciding that they should seriously weigh the effects of the new units? No. They might actually be able to pull it off. But I doubt it. My suggestion for anyone planning on playing SC2 would be to start out using Protoss as they will be the race to beat. It's basically the same suggestion anyone would make to a new SC1 player. Play the race that Blizzard designed first and therefore is the easiest. Zerg and Terran are progressively harder to control because you need different and more advanced skills to match the overall Protoss strategy.

From what I've said, you might think I'm saying that the Protoss is the stronger race in SC1. They aren't. But they once were. I'm simply saying that as Zerg or Terran you must adapt and play in a more advanced manner to overcome the fact that Protoss was created more simply; it will be the same in SC2.

So my pick is Zerg, but only after the first patch comes out. I also hope Blizzard can churn out some equally impressive units for Zerg as they have for Terran and Toss.

 

I'm don't really agree with ya Joneagle_X.
Although the German magazine stated that the Zergs are still in concept stage, I believe that they already have their ideas set, and are just playing around with their units. Remember, Blizzard wouldn't feed us all the info at once. They like to tease us bits by bits. Therefore, when we first learned Protoss, that doesn't mean that the Terrans and Zergs are not as developed as the Protoss.

 

I don't think that the zerg are still in concept; if you watch the gameplay trailer with the ghosts nuking, zerglings kill them at the end. And anyway, Blizzard has stated that StarCraft 2 has been in development ever since the Frozen Throne was finished; I don't believe they would be in concept after four years, unless it is one hell of a game. Which I sure it will be.

 

I very much doubt that Zerg are anywhere NEAR concept. You very well could be right. They're just waiting for the right time to release or are tweaking units. I am convinced, however, that the Protoss were developed first, just as they were in SC1. My argument is that Protoss was babied and now the other races have to catch up.

 

Joneagle, from a competitive gaming standpoint, it would make the most sense to use the Protoss if they did end up being the strongest in the beta or whatnot. However, it would not affect my decision on what race to play whatsoever. In fact, many people enjoy being the under dog. Right now, I am favoring the Protoss, but am strongly considering the Zerg because I think they're going to have some incredibly distinct qualities, like the Nydus worms, which are going to be a great strategical weapon that I would love to make use of. I love the Protoss mainly because their units appeal to me the most. An incredibly powerful race that is easily the most intelligent is the race I would most want to play with. From top to bottom, from the simple Zealot to the powerful Protoss Mothership, I like them all. Thankfully they got rid of the Soul Hunter, which I hated, and may have turned me off of the race completely. Now I just have to hope they get rid of the current Dark Templar model and take the team coloring down a couple of notches... then I'll be set to conquer the universe as the mighty Protoss! En Taro Tassadar! :good:

 

Deciding your main race based on "flavor of the month" patches is quite pointless in the long run.

I much rather play my race through thick and thin and be one of the best ones out there after many years, than switching around based on some patching and end up being half assed in everything.

EDIT: I have now changed the poll to allow people to change their votes.
