So I've finally played 52 1v1 matches on battle.net in Starcraft II, I play the Zerg and am beginning to have internal conflict whether a early zergling rush is okay.
My Argument for the Early Zergling Rush: Starcraft II (and maybe Starcraft) gives both the Protoss and Terran the ability to wall off access to their base, and most player's whom aren't brand new to the multiplayer know to wall up when facing a Zerg. This tactic helps not only prevent any ground unit's from scouting their base but gives them a defence line that is easily maintainable throughout the early to mid game stages, so this strategy SHOULD be utilized. And also the Lawful Evil reason for the Zergling rush: They put it in the game so I can do it if I want.
My Argument Against the Early Zergling Rush: The Early Zergling Rush usually catches beginning players (especially of the protoss race, my last three games where against protoss and my early zergling rush crippled them from the beginning or they just quit after their probes were eaten) and could turn new players off the game (I also feel a little bad when I see their profile is under 20 games) this also takes away from "the spirit of the game".
Those are my arguments For and Against, and I'm sure that people can point out other For or Against reasons, but I want some input.
Should I be stopped? Or go Terran?
