Which SC2 race whines more? Who do you think does QQ more?

This includes balance changes/patches, the race arsenal, race gameplay, mechanics etc.

Here are MY opinions:

I am betting Zerg but let the stats judge it. (there goes the poll below)

Why I think it is Zerg? Because they hate Terran and Protoss and even fellow Zerg.

I would have to admit Zerg would be my hardest race. This is based on my experience or because of my style of playing (army and workers are separate). Some or most people could have the same scenario as me, but then as for my answer, that's what you get for playing that race. You just need to man up and deal with it.

These are the type of players who are too lazy to think of better ways to improve and just whine because of X or because X had X so we have to have X too. They also think highly of themselves since the play "Zerg". Like they are more superior and shit. We macro hard and other races just cheese and all-in.

From a Zerg point of view, It is like, why do I need to spread my overlords and creep, inject larva and know when to make workers or army and other races can just make shit and destroy? Lots of them also dont know why it is important to flank (very impt for melee/short ranged) in fights while P and T can just always shoot and march straight up.

Again as for my advise to these people, suck it up and think of ways to adapt. Dont't just whine and cry for nerfs and buffs.

I would really like to have this poll with the comments as to why they choose their answer but I guess you can use the comments section for your explanation.

Poll: Which race whines more?

Zerg (39)
 
62%

Terran (17)
 
27%

Protoss (7)
 
11%

63 total votes

Your vote: Which race whines more?

(Vote): Terran
(Vote): Protoss
(Vote): Zerg



This is inevitable but let the bashing begin!

I've rarely seen such a racist thread.

All races whine equally!

"As a player of Race X, I think that the other two races whine more than my race, and whenever my race does complain, it's completely justified."

Not sure how objective people would be in their responses...

Also, surely some whining about races or matchups might be justified if a certain race is actually performing statistically worse in certain areas? Surely balance discussion can be helpful too.

LOL, actually I was about to include some racist reasons like I just hate terran because they are fucking imba, 50minerals for a shooting cheap us, tier 1, stimming bullshit but then whats the point?

Racism would always be there, it is part of reality and no races do not whine equally and I am sure of that.

idunno, feels to me like everyone whines equally. Terran gets a lot of hate though. At least it feels like it. Idunno, I don't "discuss" balance.

Well the "race hate thread" should be a good new poll to make. As far as I can see it, it should be near this order:

Terran > Protoss > Random > Zerg

This would most like be because:

A. There are a lot of Terran players, players would often start playing terran ( campains and starter kits)

B. Terran is just "Easy" says everyone who hates Terran

C. Everyone hates colossus

D. *thinks* Random = cheese

D. Zerg is "hard" and im superior because I play zerg.

I pity these people(B,C,D), specially D.

My general impression is that terran is usually the "most hated" and that zerg is the "whiniest." Most of this is from early WoL release, where terran was overpowered and zerg was underpowered, and it just sort of cemented in the community from there (or at least in my mind).

I don't think there is a lot of truth in it, though.

How does protoss not have more votes? You don't see a sad marine or a sad zergling fanclub do you? Or maybe that's why protoss has so few votes, there are so many sad zealots voting for the other races.

I think players with a poor mentality whine the most, but that could just be my crazy line of thinking.

This guy gets it right. Zerg whine used to be justified, and now it's just stuck in the communities' memory.

Around Code S season 1 probably. Holy shit, it was bad back then. Which makes it even more of a miracle that FD won.

You guys don't see a huge amount of irony in this? Zerg was never as underpowered as they claimed to be. Many buffs and nerfs later, it turns out they weren't by far the worst, but by far the best.
