The rage against random players comes because out of the last 100 random players I played about 150 of them cheesed and executed no-skill builds.

In fact ever since I played this game (release) I have only twice played against random players that actually played a proper build. (Platinum League, btw)

I don't want to waste my time - would rather just practice builds against the other races.

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

Exactly this^

It's really frustrating for people in lower leagues to play against random players because they are still trying to get their builds sorted out and when they have no idea what race someone is playing it messes them up.

Also there is the fact that a lot of random players do cheese.

gumiho is the only player to qualify for a GSL as random. He now race picks Terran and is in the code s ro4. Guineapig only played in the team league as random. He qualified in open season 2 or 3 as a protoss

I don't think that random players are hated more than other players, but I personally don't understand why you would play random instead of picking a race. If you don't know which race you want to pick, then roll a dice or something like that.

My personal problem with Random was that I am a Protoss player. Having a 33% chance to lose the game out of the start is pretty awful.

The reason it's annoying for me is because I can't tailor my opening and scouting towards a specific race. I can't scout around my main for potential proxy 10/10 without pulling more probes than necessary because I might not be up against a Protoss. If I'm up against a Zerg and a sixpool is on the way, I might not scout it in time because I wasted time and potential mining time scouting for something I couldn't actually be up against.

If I'm up against a Terran or a Protoss and I scout on 9, I'm suddenly slightly behind. Not a lot, but I'm still behind. If it's on a forge-expand map like Tal'darim and I meet a Zerg, I'm a little bit behind as well. Especially if the Zerg gets a 15 hatch down because I scouted him last.

And then there is the coin flip where he may or may not be cheesing you.

use the word "dislike" instead of "hate". Much much better imo.

I never disliked a random player! People can play whatever they like!

Actually Gumiho is the only player ever to have been in GSL playing random. As we all know he is terran now though

GuineaPig was protoss when he was in gsl, but seems to play random now.
no.

Both GuineaPig and Gumiho have a history as random players.

Gumiho was the one that actually once qualified for GSL (Open Season 3) while playing random.

GuineaPig has only been random in the GSTL or possibly also during the Code A qualifiers. All the seasons that he did qualify for Open GSL or Code A he was playing Protoss.

The only other GSL Person I know that has race switched is Zenex.Byun / Byun.Prime / GhostKing.Prime. He switched from Protoss to Terran.

Man, it's quite obvious, last random players I've hit on ladder allinned me like crazy.
I don't understand the BM attitude though... Don't mind those people, they are just frustrated.

Play how you like and enjoy the game.

Random players tend to either cheese, or do something extremely greedy, like a CC first pretty much every game, and because you don't know what race he's playing, you have to go for a build that's ok vs everything, like vs terran I want to 15 hatch, but vs random there is absolutely no way I'm going to 15 hatch, so I'll speedling expand instead, which puts me even further behind economically

I don't hate players who play random but I just don't like the fact that I don't know which build order to prepare for and it forces me to go generic build that satisfies all matchups. Also, in maps like Taldarim or other 4 player maps, it's such a pain in the ass

In my experience I get always cheesed by random players, the 1 in a 100 time I come across one that tries to play macro games I respect that, but, random players seem to be just scrubs trying to get zerg so they can 6 pool you and you have no idea its coming. This is in gold through to diamond as I have found, but I respect the OP for playing macro, thats a lot of match-ups you need to learn

I don't BM Random players (it takes a lot of skill to learn all of the races and matchups), but I often just 6 pool to get it over with. I'd rather practice my ZvX as a normal game. For example, if I drone scout to find out his race and he's Z, I'll be behind from the start. So for me personally, playing vs Random is an actual waste of the time I take to practice. I do not mean this as any form of offence to Random players, everyone is free to enjoy playing the game the way they like. =)

I think perhaps Day9 had a good idea when he said he just rolls a dice and picks his race before searching for a game though. I'd suspect a lot of Random players do not get to play as many standard games because people expect cheese.

The reason why I hate playing randoms is because the game is never standard. You have to open differently vs Random players so Random players don't play any match up as they should be played. For example, For T(R)vZ the zerg has to open pool before hatch no matter what, which puts us behind if the terran opens an economical build.

Well I do occasionally play random but I believe that random players that can play well deserve great respect - knowing how to play three races requires much much more skill than just one! Having to put so much extra effort into the game, the early game advantage is something that should be overlooked imho.

Some people see playing random as offering an unfair advantage at the start of the game. Which is completely understandable.
