Terran, that's why there's so many terrans in bronze/silver/gold, not many in plat/dia, and then lots in masters.
Once they learn to properly build marines, they skip to masters without the need for plat/dia.

Protoss is the easiest they were designed for 9 year olds who want to learn the game. Terran is a brainless race but requires mechanics. Zerg actually requires intelligence AND mechanics to play making them the hardest race.

Yeah, but using zerg units takes the micro of a 9 year old.

Maybe < Diamond league

That doesnt actually work in higher leagues, you have to be twice as good as your opponent to win. Losing to people worse than you is a common trait zerg players are becoming used to. Especially in zvp where the no brains/skill race herp derps into winning unless he's forced to multitask (which is something protoss doesnt have to / know how to do).

Ye well, losing to people worse than you is a common trait in all our matchups, PvT, PvP and PvZ. Such a linear and limited race, you have to be 4x better than your opponent to gain any sort of advantage, PvAnything is basically waiting for your opponent to fuck up so you can win. Just because your race is harder to macro from doesn't mean your units are harder to use, literally no control necessary. Protoss being in between and Terran having the highest micro ceiling.

if you think blink stalkers chargelots and colossus are hard to use then wat
Protoss is the least limited race IMO
You have tons and tons of builds that can win games
terran is next up as they have some pretty varied builds as well
zerg is by far the most limited race.

Starcraft is a macro game. Microing a unit to keep it alive is not as important as building an army

Starcraft is a strategy game, how you use what you macro is also important. Making units and having them sit in your natural doesn't do you any good.

unless you are facing a morron you cannot win by macroing like a bus and brute forcing his ass with your massive army.

in your average macro game both sides are gunna have huge armies and it comes down to control and harass.

Zerg is harder to micro than protoss. Go do some ling/bane wars and tell me pvp is more difficult.

Most importantly though you never made any mention of intelligence, which zerg needs the most of by far in order to win.
