I'm on a pretty huge break from SCII 1v1s. The major reason is that I was out sick for a whole week at school and that means that I've got a lot of work to catch up on.
The other reason is that lately I've been feeling less and less satisfied with using Protoss. I feel disappointed with the race as a whole on two fronts. The first is that a Protoss army just doesn't feel mobile enough. Don't get me wrong, anytime I use Blink Stalkers and/or Chargelots, I love it. I love that "Now I'm here, now I'm not!" feeling that I get just blinking in and out of my opponents base. I love rushing my chargelots right into a Terran MMM ball and just ruining their shit-it's awesome. Building 4+ colossi, casting hallucination and enjoying the War of the Worlds light show is great. However, while a Protoss army is powerful as all get out, they
feel lumbering and slow to respond to multi-front threats.
The second is that I feel like I basically have to use either one of two strategies: 4 Gate or 2 Gate Robo. I just don't feel like there is a lot of variety available to me as a Protoss player. This is especially true if I'm playing another Protoss. PvP feels almost ritualistic and formalized. It doesn't feel fun to play Protoss anymore. All you Terran and Zerg players seem to be having so much fun and I want some of that, dammit.
I guess what I want to know is:
1. What are some of your guys opinions? Any Protoss have any insights for me?
2. This is one for all the members of the Swarm out there: Any chance I can get some help from you guys in the near future? I'm thinking of going Zerg.
In case you're wondering, here is my sc2ranks.com page:
