I've decided to switch to Protoss after Terran nerf. And I've noticed that this race fits my style of playing more than Terran. Why? -Only one probe for building, the rest can gather resources (this also leads to less idle workers) -better static defense.(ground + AA) -Cloaked scouts to have complete overview of the map. -most importantly: not needed to change modes like vikings/siege tanks.(mistakes with this cost me a lot of battles) -Large MM balls(same for zergling/baneling) are simply burned to ashes using colossi with range upgrade. A lot of times the both bases are defended in a way that nothing gets through. Leading to a 200 supply army for both sides. Protoss generally have the strongest units (at a higher price that is) but when when all races are at their 200 supply limit Protoss is the strongest most of the time. And I've noticed that for me the General Zealot/Stalker/Colossus build has a much higher success rate than the MMM build. Drawbacks are -Everything is more expensive, which can sometimes be a problem to opponents who are pushing early. -build times slower (but this can be compensated with Chrono when needed) -scouting not possible between time that the first scouting probe is killed and Robo is up to make observers.
Well if you like protoss more than that's what you should go with. I hope you still like it after enemy terrans start going MM early pushes every game However you will have a slight advantage over terrans, because as a former terran player, you know what protoss players did to beat you, so you can use those same strategies to beat other terrans now.
james. Don't be a jerk (just barging in and saying one sentence which implications insult solar's character and reasoning). -1 rep. Solar. I will remain neural about your decision, but i must congratulate you for analyzing your own style of play and playing the race that fits you the best. Post on my profile anytime if you require or want tips with the race (heck any race actually -- I know starcraft very well, and i am a much better critic than I am a gamer)
It is true that protoss have the easiest macro compared to the other two races, but due to unit cost and unit supply cost, you will almost always be outnumbered army to army, therefore proper micro is the difference maker for protoss.
Additionally, Protoss players are able to build a formidable army without an expansion, unlike Zerg players who require more resources....Its good!!
I've tried the different races and Protoss just fits better than the others, Terran does play ok as well. The only race I can't play at all is Zerg, just too much hassle (spreading creep, using these queens) and Zerg's strength is the ability the mass units quickly but a quick expo is required for that otherwise it's a failuren (unless you rush which is zerg specialty)
