Hi TL community !
This is my first topic, i hope u gonna be kind with me.

I play Random, because I just like Z, P and T and i have fun by playing them. I believe that i can be a "good" player with each race. I'm actually top20 diamond EU serv ~~ My goal is to be in Master League.

1 / 5 games, my opponent just leave the game with some BM like
"Fucking random noob"
"no skill cheeser"
"i dont want to waste my time" etc

WTF guys ? I know, a lot of rdm players gos some unusual strat, but .... why?? ;-(

edit : sorry for my english :s

My guess is because most random players, especially in lower leagues, don't play any one race particularly better than the other. So a lot of them settle for one-base all-ins and cheese. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule but in my experience, random players are much more likely to do one-base plays instead of actually playing a macro game.

As a former random player, trust me - people will bm/rage no matter what league you are. Funny enough, when I played random, I also got bm/hate for every possible race that popped up even though I was random.

The problem it's that most of randoms cheeses. I also have negative opinion about them, because they tend not to play long games.

They are jealous because they can only play with one race. I'd take it as a compliment.

It's the internet. People BM.
If you played another race, ppl would be saying "fucking Z/P/T".
Having said that, random gives you an initial advantage and people cannot go for their favourite builds or w/e. If you wanna dodge that, just roll a die before each map and pick a race accordingly.

When people choose random, their opponent assumes that they're going to cheese.

I guess that's it, haha!
Marinesplit, how do I do it?

I don't hate random players and never bm them for playing random. I think it's great if you can play all races equally well. I do however expect some really weird cheese everytime i face a random player. My personal experience tells me that a lot of people in the lower leagues try to use the little timing where the opponent doesn't know your race to do some really stupid cheese.
If I had more time to play so I could be good enough with more than one race and I didn't despise Zerg, I probably would play random myself

I think that a lot of players in the lower leagues are one-build-wonders, who have a single build for each enemy race and just execute that every time. When they encounter a random player, this logic suddenly breaks down and they have to improvise. Especially since random players often have weird builds / compositions in the lower leagues.

you have to open differently against the different races, so its kinda disgusting when you dont know what race you are playing against. if you choose the wrong opening, you play from behind and thats just because you dont know the opponents race. Additionaly many random players play just for fun and not so much focused on improvement so they cheese a lot and that can be quite frustrating. thats prolly why you get flamed so often. if you just want to play all of the 3 races you can tell your opponent what race you have. if he believes you or not is his own thing.

Not very impressive when you are just very mediocre at all races instead of actually good with one, which is the case with most randoms.

Let them rage, being Random is a strength. It's not you that should deal with it, but your opponents!

95% of people who play random will cheese you. Rather than learning how to actually play the game, they try to take advantage of the surprise factor combined with a cheese strategy that take 10 minutes to learn to execute. There are some good random players, but a large majority are no skill cheesers.

It's because most random players can't macro properly on all 3 races so they always cheese. I have about 1000 games played, and never once have I found a random player that played standard.

PvR is fucking retarded. If the random player randomed zerg, you are behind. If they randomed Protoss and you took the precaution to make a gateway at your ramp, you're vulnerable.

Random should show your race upon startup.

Why don't you learn how to type english properly before posting?

You could at least put "people" instead of "ppl" in the title.

I don't mind randoms at all, it means I will most likely win because they don't know how to play properly, or at least not at the late game stage.
The mind is capable of anything, because everything is in it.

Because random doesn't show the race at start. As a protoss player, that's annoying as hell.
ModeratorProtoss all-ins are like a wok. You can throw whatever you want in there and it will turn out alright.

Why don't you pick a random race at the beginning of each ladder game instead of picking random ? Problem solved
