It's too bad it needs to be like that, that you have to choose a specific race and specific magic path to be able to compete against another specific race - at the expense of sucking against every other race. Don't get me wrong, I like the paper/rock/scissors mentality, but it should be within each race and not between them. For example in most RTS' each race is different and has a strength, but by utilyzing that strength (and tactics, which frankly, uber blessed EA Heims don't even need to think about) they have the potential to beat any other race. You won't hear a Starcraft player saying "oh, they're Zerg? Well, I guess that means I have to be Protoss because Terrans don't have a chance against Zerg."

Ideally, each race should have something that makes them competitive no matter what period in the game and no matter who they are up against.
