You can't exactly poll for this online because it'll be determined by the kind of place you're asking, like preddit is obviously going to be dominated by soys and 4chan probably RW depending on the board, so I would say it can only be speculated on without the ability to run a formalized study.
So, what does your choice of faction say about you. Idk about the state of SC2 these days but Brood Wars seemed pretty much balanced all three ways so there was no reason to choose based on viability alone.
I think it's a somewhat interesting question because thematically, it's pretty clear that they were going with a heaven/hell/earth aesthetic. Terran being man and originally of Earth, Zerg being only what can be described as demons as though from hell, and Protoss are otherworldly almost angelic aliens with architecture reminiscent of what you might imagine heaven would have. A very cool general aesthetic and theme for a game, but also very simple, and each one is going to attract certain kinds of people differently.
Also I know I said polling one specific place isn't useful for answering the question, but purely out of curiosity: https://strawpoll.com/polls/6QnM7aAWVZe
I choose Terran, myself. I've always like Terran the most even before becoming politically aware but I also see it as the general default RW choice due to their presentation.
The Terran Confederacy has Confederate flags, can't have that in current year anymore. All the minor Terran characters seem to be some kind of redneck in space adds to the charm.
Yep, very rugged and earthly despite how advanced they are, coincides very well with my theming point.
Star Trek is a really gay yuppy perception of a prospective spacefaring human race. I'm not a Soy Wars nerd or anything but that was clearly one of the greatest pluses SW had over Trek, the aesthetic is just so much better and it's due in part to the rugged scrappiness of a lot of it.
Personally, that's how I think the future will look. Run down, used and held together with duct tape, the elites are doing the best they can to get rid of the little people.
There's literally no reason for 'the little people' to exist once the elites have their robots fully functioning.
Couldn't even have that in 2010 either, because Blizzard outright removed almost every Southern element from the Terrans with SC2. I think Raynor and Mengsk accent is the only thing left of it. And even then, Raynor's is far less pronounced than it used to be.
Haven't played Starcraft since early 00's, but I always preferred Protoss. Zerg were the next choice.
I'm well to the right of most people, and I exclusively played Zerg in the original game. I didn't even finish the base game Protoss Campaign.
I'm a Confederate flag waving piece of white trash in real life and I exclusively play Zerg.
They're pretty cool mechanically. In terms of interesting mechanics it goes like, imo:
Zerg
Terran
Protoss
But I like Terran just because I'm kind of a dumbass and like simple shit and I was never any actual good at the game and they were the easiest for me to do anything with.
Starcraft: None of those choices interest me, and I don't play the game.
WoW: Tauren. (haven't played in about a decade, tho.)
I don't think there's any big connection.
Just with general preference. Do you play 40k? Tyranids? Most likely Zerg will apply to you. Space Marines? Terran. Eldar? Protoss (closest to an advanced race).
It's the same when I ask you if you like dwarfs or elves more. Some people are dwarf people, some are elf people.
I played Protoss, but never really enjoyed how they play in SC2.
Politically? Probably centrist. I like some left wing stuff, I like some right wing stuff.
Yeah at this point if I played 40k i would probably go with imperium of man lol.
Also in WoW I was a human paladin main 😎
My life for Aiur.
Never played a single multiplayer game of SC2, and actually, come to think of it, I don't think I ever even finished the Zerg campaign (nor even opened the Protoss one). HMmmm.
I did play the fuck out of SC and Warcraft 2 and Warcraft 3.
Starcraft -- Terrans. Mostly I liked the meta of being able to float building around, and I loved the Battlecruiser rush. Never liked Zerg much.
Warcraft 2 -- Always liked humans.
Warcraft 3 -- Nightelves.
Yeah I don't think I asked my question well. I didn't mean it was a sure indicator or anything I was just wondering what the actual spread would be if it were polled accurately and not biased by any particular website.
Ofc they're not canonically angels I meant they're just kind of metaphorically representative. Besides, a lot of what you pointed out with them like their strict hierarchy and traditions isn't exclusive from angels.
Yeah heaven is supposed to be a type of utopia lol.
What's the current meta? Toss is still OP I assume 😁
nooo idea, i thought people were really displeased with how 2 ended up so they were going back to brood and if anything terran was generally played more (at least in korea).
cant devote to one, very hedonistic 🤔
