I will start as random I think. First of all, I will not rage over perceived imbalances, but rather enjoy them! Secondly, I will have extended knowledge of all three races when/if I choose one. Last but maybe most importantly, I'll be able to start every balance discussion with "I play random, and as I see it..." and nobody can call me biased or accuse me of racism. Hohoho!

each race should have it's own poll.

like this the percentages are meaningless


You need to condition on which race they play and then the poll is exactly what you want.
For example, want to know % of Protoss staying Protoss?
(Staying Protoss)/(Staying Protoss+Protoss to Zerg+Protoss to Terran)

nice poll! Let me compile the statistics for you. Feel free to add them to the OP.

WoL race ratio:
Z: 41+-1.8%
T: 27+-1.4%
P: 32+-1.6%

Zergs:
switching to Z: 92+-1.3%
switching to T: 4.7+-0.9%
switching to P: 3.2+-0.8%

Protoss:
switching to Z: 11.8+-1.7%
switching to T: 7.7+-1.4%
switching to P: 80+-2.2%

Terran:
switching to Z: 18.4+-2.3%
switching to T: 76+-2.6%
switching to P: 5.1+-1.2%

the errors are purely statistical. Of course there is HUGE bias from which people come to this thread, and how people tend to go for the most scandalous options in polls, so interpret with caution.
TL is maybe not known for its cautious interpretations, so we will see how that goes.

I think the only really significant result is that people have a tendency to switch to zerg for HotS, which is maybe not that unexpected as it is the zerg expansion.

The percentages here are of course overestimated. For sure nowhere near 18% of the terrans will switch in reality (and NO, the fact that you (yes YOU wannabe statistician!) and all your terran friends will switch does not change that fact). It is from this impossible to say what the real percentage will be, as we have no control over how large the bias is. Blizzard will be able to tell us a few weeks into HotS.

edit: added bitter remarks about future misinterpretations.

I was terran, but I just switched to toss. I've been thinking about a switch for a while and I really like the new toss units.

would be a good moment to switch to terran, seeing how they are imba in WoL...
However with PvX Canonrushes being completly broken and Protoss unable to ever getting outpositioned/caught out of positon due to massrecall in HotS... P>>>>>>>>>>{T,Z}

I'm gonna start laddering seriously as random once HotS is out, since I kinda started playing random late in WoL. At this point, I'm favoring Protoss and Zerg, but the new Terran units (dem shredder drops) might change that.

Always played zerg but seeing that so many people will switch makes me want to chance too. I can't stand ZvZ.

yeah, if the ladder gets flooded with zergs i will consider switching to avoid zvz, but I hope it wont be that bad.

Poll thread. No one cares what anyone else posts, so it becomes fluffy. Theres way too many people on TL to have any sort of unified opinion. Some people will change, some wont but theres no real conclusions to be drawn.
