Why do you hate playing Starcraft?

I suppose this can double as a Things-We'd-Like-For-Starcraft-2 topic, but in light of "Why do you love playing X" I figure we should discuss the things about Starcraft that really, truly, honest-to-god blow.

For example:

* Battle.net blank screens when you hit join game
* Not being able to chat or scroll around during the disconnect screen
* The fact that almost everyone likes to talk authoritatively about Starcraft as if they are some huge expert on the game even though they've never played beyond NR15 FMP
* Goliath/dragoon pathfinding
* Building buildings inside your mineral line
* Trying to get your guys up a ramp

What fun is it being cool if you can’t wear a sombrero?

Much, much less money to be won than in other games.

SC2 will be huge. ESWC, WSVG, CGS, WCG... any tournament that DOESNT have an event for it would be foolish.

Not being able to see messages while joining games (as a result missing a bunch of messages directed at me)

-latency should be shown in figures, inlcuding before game screen, and perhaps in player list screen in game (enabling you to boot high ping laggers)
-during disconnect screen chatting should be enabled (like in wc3).
-divisional ladders in each server, same system as wc3(hey cmon it's good and quick)
-ability to join a friends game via double clicking their name on friends list.

- the fact pretty much anyone play the same right now , same bo
they dont know why they do the build order and can only macro in midle game ,they got no fucking micro ( aka A move win or loss )
they suck and deserve to alway loss since they got no real skill . i realy hate loss vs chobo like that in t v p .

- the fact you need take more that 10 min for kill chobo in some matchup .

- i realy hate fucking imbalanced defiler in t v z , they alway piss me off and are way too strong .

- hate you cant do /R or /reply when someone msg you , some time they get ugly fucking long name and take time just write that .

- reaver scarab ai and goon ai ( but that alway fun see reaver miss shot when im not the toss )

Lack of big events (involving money), limiting the competition and number of teams existing.

Other than that... it's just things I hate about any thing I do for fun and competition so it's not really starcraft related.
