Also masses whining on balance issues, it has now been here like forever... What happened to the good old-fashioned common sense??? I thought it was common sense to expect people to be emotional after their favorite player loses and to blame the loss on balance. Wasn't it? I thought it was common sense that balance whine will exist, period, this is an individual game and people have to have something to blame after they lose, so we give them different races to toy with and everyone is happy. Balance whine is important to the sucess of Starcraft. And I thought it was common sense that political correctness was a term invented to make people think some problems do not exist, like if you dont use racial slur - instead of a person who respects others - you are called politically correct. Poof! The race problem does not exist anymore! Instead of racists and not racists we have fucking heroes of free speech and politically correct boring people. | ||

WCS EU had 100k viewers MLG Fall 90k viewers The only game which constantly has more viewers is LoL - we just have to accept not being number one anymore just look at DotA - DotA is so new and has way less viewers | ||

This just felt like a mess of half baked jokes and trending catch phrases. : S Really can't win with you people. Up there. Up north. With your maple syrup. - Makes a very subtle humor post: "Are you serious or trolling? I can't tell." - Makes a VERY subtle humor post: "You're stupid, what you're saying here is completely wrong, and I am taking this way too seriously." - Makes a post that nobody can mistake for being actually serious: "SATIRE IS SUPPOSED TO BE SUBTLE. THIS IS TOO OVER-THE-TOP." | ||

Poof! The race problem does not exist anymore! Instead of racists and not racists we have fucking heroes of free speech and politically correct boring people. Balance blaming is equivalent to blaming a cyclist for losing because his bike was just bad. It's ok, but skill should be taken into account in the first place. Political correctness does not solve anything but makes you look good to anyone else who also promotes political correctness. Racism is not defined by words but by actions. Saying I wish you well to an enemy but meaning the opposite does not relieve tension but enlarges it in the long run. Political correctness may distort the reality to either promote a group or to demote one by not presenting the whole truth which seems incorrect to me. | ||
