Its a great disadvantage for the player not playing random, if im zerg i have to do a general build that i thinks good against 3 races, e.g 9 pool speed but if he's terran and blocks that im fucked due to him being random, there are a whole lot of situations like this that can arise from someone playing random and the majority of people dont want to have to deal with it imo man up and pick a race | ||

You can learn for anything. I'd rather learn to get to C+ then learn to beat crappy d+ randoms | ||

I don't think everyone here is A+ programer level where specialized BO will lead to auto win or loss, though some of the proponents of non-random appears to believe so, perhaps they are just that good, able to press home the BO advantage for an auto win HAD they randomed, oh wait... Those in favor of banning random are assuming, the advantage of the extra information/forcing generic BO/forced early scout is more than the disadvantage of needing a reasonable idea for 6 matchups. I would estimate random players will lack in late game management in some races. It is all the more important for the non-randomer to play safe then, as game progresses, the skill advantage grows. | ||

I love doing that if i can't decide a race, but random is picked so they can fuck with the opponent early game, so that would defeat it. | ||

I mean seriously, scout early, play safe and learn more than just one build.. You'd think everyone has become so regimented by build orders they don't know how to actually play BW anymore but rather only execute build orders they've seen pros do. Massive =/ | ||

Also people might not want to start off with 9 pools or 1 factory vulture builds just in case their scout goes the wrong direction or they get cheesed without even knowing the MU. and in the essence of pro gaming PL matches we should have both players preparing for a specific MU to make the games better quality | ||

"back in my day" you'd be laughed out of a tournament if you complained about someone playing random. | ||

This pretty much sums up my point perfectly. You take people out of their comfort zone and they go to water. As I said, playing v random is like playing a "fourth" race and you need to adjust your game accordingly. We may as well just make it NR20 and come to the middle and fight with our 200/200 armies. | ||

Wanting to know the race you are against before hand is perfectly reasonable.

Not wanting to play against random is in no way the same as the above. They are in completely different ballparks | ||
