It&#8217;s not like Diablo3 in which your heroes get more powerful by getting better gear, it is me that has to improve. What do I need to build. When do I need to build it. When can I attack. What do I do when I am under attack. And most of all, I need to do that by keyboard preferably, not by clicking around in the build menus.<\/p>\n<p>For now I like the Zerg the most, but I&#8217;m warned that it is a difficult race to deal with.
