Tips for learning the races

Speaking of Archer, what the hell happened to him? Seems like he disappeared once the game went live.

He slit is wrists from finally realizing everything he ever said was wrong and stupid.

At least, that's how it is in my dreams.

So you still don't realize you're playing them wrong, rather than them working in the wrong way?
Even if blizzard made some minor tweaks, those won't be enough to flip anyone's win ratio upside down.



Dude, you should have kept that to yourself! Now you'll have some competition at the top!

I'm not playing Zerg... what part of that don't you understand. I pity the Zerg player. Every time I meet a zerg player, I laugh 'cause they usually suck.

Zerg is actually unbalanced for lesser players and it's very rare that I meet a good zerg player. Usually easily kill Zerg player pretty easily.

Well I fully understand the part where you say you tried zerg, weren't any good besides with the occasional gimmick, got frustrated, and then switched back to another race. Nothing wrong with that. I'm no good with protoss.

I guess it depends how you want to define imbalance. To me a unit/race is only imbalanced if it's unbeatable at the highest level.
I can agree that zerg are harder to play at some levels, and maybe low league players have a harder time with them (nothing new from BW here) but instead of crying for imbalance I'd try and just get better, since at those skill levels you (general 'you') have so many ways of getting better quickly.
When a gold level player tries a new strategy/gamestyle to beat something he's having trouble against, he's not counteracting any imbalance, he's just getting better at the game. That's kind of the principle of an RTS.

That's why imbalance only applies to power gamers, since only someone who's actually tried a bunch of things can realistically say 'ok I can't beat this'. Not some random guy who says he can't beat mass marauder because he keeps on making roaches or doesn't know how to react to a 4gate because his droning timing is off.

This isn't directed at you Wankey, I have no idea how you play or your skill level, though I do think saying "zerg suck" is very nearsighted.
