But the real objective is to switch races, drop down, and just play casually for fun.
Any advice? Just do it?
Are there any long-term effects that could hurt me? I figure if I'm Platinum Protoss now, I can always make my way back.
I switched from terran to zerg a while ago when I was high ranked gold. I was playing mostly plats and got my MMR knocked down to playing bronze players (was in silver). Then I finally figured it out and started raising my MMR from there.
Now I want to learn protoss so instead of tanking my MMR from high plat I just decided to buy a new account for $30 during black friday and use that.
But mainly I'd start practicing build orders against the AI or in team games until you get a feel for zerg so you can actually figure some stuff out in the games instead of just struggling with basic mechanics.
Zerg is a different animal from toss or terran. Not that it's harder, it's just harder to get the hang of macro mechanics initially. But if you don't care about stats or MMR or w/e then just do it, you'll get it eventually.
