Terran its lame because its our own race and they put it the best

I think Zerg did, the lurks arent much when someone has a detector and the devourers arent much without basic ground support. Protoss definetly came out on top, the dark templar is the most used new unit out there, followed by the corsair. I've combined those two so often, i've lost track. I'm not a terran fan, but I've played a lot of good players who use the medics in mass with ground forces. The medic is very useful. It makes it harder for ppl to kill large ground forces. The Zerg however, can't really use lurks or devourers without support from basic units.

I think that toss was already a bit higher in the air department compared to say terran or zerg. Get a group of 12 scouts against 12 wraiths i guarentee the scouts will rip through the wraiths. As for ground, i dont think the medic was that big a deal, because each race has a great counter for ground units. Toss have storm, which will stop any M&M rush, zerg have lurkers, which would rape on a shared map, and terran have tanks. Before the 'Rines get close enough to attack most of em will be dead. What im trying to say is i think terran got ripped off for ground units.

One More thing: its not that i dont think medics are good, i am just saying if you play a nice long game, M&M wont do jack. Rines and Medics do rape... dont get me wrong im just saying compared to other units, a medic and rine rush wont really help against a defense consiting of tanks or lurkers. It may be pretty friggin hard to kill the rines with the medics but i still think that they are the biggest gip in B/W

Actually, marines work vs zerg no matter if he has lurkers or not, just use irradiate, matrix and siege tanks as support.

in that case, marines would work against templars too as long as u have tanks and emps supporting, just that it is such a hard task to emp all their temps, especially when they have more than 4 and split all of them far away from each other.

Marines work vs toss, its just a little harder. Storm kills far more marines in one cast than lurkers,
and unlike hydras, marines cant dodge storm, they will die instantly. If u have enough tank support and use bunkers and spider mines, then marines WILL work vs toss if u do it right, but it is a lot harder.

u can still dodge storms, just gotta run with stim. yes they do die instantly, but if u attempt to stim and run, u manage to keep a lot of them alive.

but as i mentioned, some good stormers storm click an area of where i would run to instead of storm click a unit, and that makes a difference in the number of marines killed per storm.

and yes i do think all 3 races are pretty balanced out after all the patches and brood war xpansion. altho pre-bw i think zerg is a little better

this might sound noobess what is micro? plz dont lash at me with harsh tounges (well in this case words)

take templars for example, there are so many people who use storms badly, therefore i would be able to control my m&m to dodge the storms. good stormers usually predict which direction my units would run to and storm there, and that is how they manage to kill my m&m.

think before u speak

seems like u have no idea of every single aspect in this game, believe me or not. we can arrange a 1vs1 game in ANY map you want, and i'll show u how it can be done.
OMFG! you should of said that in the first place! That way no one will missinterpret whatever it is you're saying and you get your message accross at the same time. Instead of acting all bitchy over a little comment i make. I mean its just a game, this aint 'tuesday night fights'
and please note: my comment earlier was on mass m&m ONLY...not aided by vessels or tanks or even dropships,- Just Marines And Medics- ON THEIR OWN .
I will not apologise for having an opinion of my own and at the same time u shouldn't go around insulting pple for that either. Just say wath u gotta say and leave it at that. The whole world doesn't have to agree with everything damit!.- lol, even though the poll does speak for itself [4.9.4]...Terran got screwed with leftovers from Blizzard's game vault and i'm sure i'm not the only one who thinks so, weather or not u love terran.

micro [aka] Micro management; is basically just following your units around during an atk to makesure:
the AI doesn't mess up; the rush works more efficient; and your units live as long as possible, while doing maximum damage, B4 inevitably...dying.

If terrans got the worst upgrades that does not mean they are the worst race.Many people still chose terran and as a protosss player i say terrans are their greatest enemy.

I don't think there are any lame upgrades in BW... All the upgrades are there for a reason, to make a unit better. And does any upgrades really make a unit worse? Does the stim pack make the marine weaker? Does the Irritade makes the Science vessel any more useless? No.

When i say worst upgrades [in BW] i mean only in comparison. i.e one out of all the three races.
The issue of weather or not one race is lamer than or more superior over the other two is not, nor was it ever, the intended topic of this poll.
[Just wanted to clear that up B4 we all go off topic here...:cool:]

[and just for the record: I do happen to be a terran player.
i just think Blizzard could of done more with their upgrades,
thats all]

Here! i'll even quote myself on that from earlier :-

i mean while Protoss got a nice new Dark Archon to mind control all races and the Corsair=disruption web to counter all defence buildings; and Zerg =the widely used/over used? Lurker and Devourer with the crippling effects of its corosive poison.
It realy makes u think, are the medic and Valkyrie enough to even out the gameplay in the Terrans' favour? or are they doomed to relying only on the power of their seige tank?
Well what u guys think. or is it just my opinion
i will always love terran- cause they are not toooo powerfull, and at the same time they can't be labelled as 'weak' either...They're just.. right/..normal.
