    I too have Tossphobia. And given http://www.gamereplays.org/community/index.php?showtopic=262424&st=20 , I am not the only one who has such a fear. Maybe it's because dark templar were such a nightmare to deal with as the terran.

    Come to think of it, the terran always got the short end of the stick (except for the marines!)...But I think the races will be mostly balanced this time 'round anyway.

    Right now the zerg are considered a bit inferior to the other races. How many of the leet 1337 koreans play zerg versus the protoss in their national championships? (answer not as many as terrans and hardly any compared to the protoss)

    God, you haven't even seen much of the 2 other races, how can you protoss are too strong? They're units are supposed to be strong. It's so dumb to see oooh a collosus and a mothership! PROTOSS RIGGED! First of all, no they're not really too strong. They units are SUPPOSED to be strong. Also, the terrans aren't supposed to have the best units, but they're units are supposed to be a little cheaper and more versatile. And, i know we haven't heard much of the zerg, but even if you saw them with not too many strong units, then you can't just say they're too weak. The zerg are meant for large numbers, not powerful units. You don't even know how much the protoss units cost yet so i'm pretty sure they'll cost a pretty penny.

    No he edited it, there was not the slightest inclination of the other races and suddenly he says something about rooting for the underdog.

    Anyway, seeing as how we've barely seen anything of how the other two, maybe Terran a bit.... and we haven't played the game its obviously too far gone. Lets give up on it shall we?

    Protoss are "too strong" because that's how Starcraft rolls.

    Everything is massively powerful but can be countered.

    but also think about it this way, the protoss may be more powerful than everyone else in 1v1 BUT they probally cost ALOT to build the units, and the fact that you can kill the pylons and they are screwed

    Yeah, thanks... very... enlightening. You must be Sun Tzu reincarnated.

    Protoss were always the pricey ones, because you get what you paid for. They are the most advanced race by fluff, reason stands they're the strongest race in the game. Obviously balance though.

    Ok dude, you gotta know that some of these topics were made months ago and that if you dig far enough into the forums, you'll find plenty of topics that were supposedly dead. A lot of these get ressurected though when new ppl show up.

    Zerg are just to corny for my liking. Theres no point for countless numbers if they still lose. it only takes a 50 Zelot to win. and 100 zerglings to win

    Ah but 50 zealots cost 5000 minerals and 100 Zerglings cost 2500 minerals... and that is the balance.

    You wont even need all 50 Zelot. A zelot can take on at most 3 zerglings and the 3ed would be at half life. and were talking about 50........ thats kinda sad dont u think

    If your enemy is going all Zealots and you continually mass Zerglings you're a sad Zerg player.

    U have never played Fast money maps maps with maxed out upgrades on a zergling. they can be pritty strong. but on low money maps of corse thats a different story. no i would not keep using zerglings. I was never a SC noob and even tho i dont play it anymore i still know what not to do and whats a stupid move.

    In any case, about three Zerglings beat one Zealot... seems like Zerg suck right? Wrong. Three Zerglings cost 75 minerals, one Zealot costs 100 minerals. Zerg win out economically. It's all about this kind of balance (other economics balance Protoss and Zerg too). Protoss units own Zerg ones, but a good Zerg player will win as many times against a good Protoss player as the good Protoss player will win against him.

    Fastest is a terrible map that breeds players that aren't good at melee games, the ones that really count.

    Well i'll say this much. when u play Zerg u tend to play on a 1 track mine. Zerg dont use Magic and a good Protoss player will rape u ever single time u gather up and try that over whelming unit Bull sh*t. The zergs mass numbers are ok and all but it's too much Blind Brute Force, and i'm not the Blind brute Force type of person that rushed men into battle with out a second and therd plan on my mind. Protoss have options like that. If the Zelot fail to take out mass zerglings, Shock them all.
