Having to put so much extra effort into the game, the early game advantage is something that should be overlooked imho. The problem is that when all you do when getting random is 11/11 rax, proxy 9/9 gate and 6pool then you still have only 3 matchups to learn: Terran Cheese, Protoss Cheese and Zerg Cheese. The vast majority of random games never gets to any real macro stage where knowledge of the actual matchup is even remotely relevant. Having said that though Random players that aren't no skill cheeser do deserve respect. | ||

When i'm VS Protoss and i am Protoss, i use this advantage by making a 4G, because my opponent would block his ramp, EZ pylon + Gate And 80% of the time, yes, i CC/Hatch/Nexus first. It's hard to be a decent players in each matchups, so we need a little advantage !! Foe example i'm sooo bad in TvZ .. it scares me :d | ||

If all you'd have done though would be either 11/11Rax 6 pool or 9/9 Proxy gate then you would have been getting death/rape threats every single game. | ||

Well, the random player gets an advantage at the start but then he's probably disadvantaged as the game moves since it's unlikely he'll be as skilled as the opponent with all three races. I mean, random is an option the game gives you. Just use it to your advantage. Now, if random was giving an unfair advantage, I'm sure we'd see pro random, but it doesn't seem to be the case. | ||

My favorite: Game begins. Me:"Good luck and have fun buddy" <instert name> has left the game. edit: he started mining+splitting his workers :D | ||

When You play against a random player, it should not show random in the loading but the race you will be playing in the game so the game start with both player on the same level. Random is not a race, it's the randomnisation of the race you play. To be fair, another solution would be that the Random player dosent see your race when the game is loading, but that would be ridiculous... | ||

Whatever advantage a random player has in the first 40 seconds of the game is lost several-fold in the next minutes because of lack of practice in that particular MU. Play the game or quit if you don't like it. | ||

The ideal situation would be however to see "Random: Zerg. He will 6pool you." in 99.99% of the cases that would be correct and I can just start with my Forge first.  | ||

i don't like random players who play like that either tbh and if i meet a random player who plays straight up i usually win because they are almost never as good with their race as i am with mine i used to play random as well since i had played all 3 races (250 wins with each) but i really hated the way random feels because you can never decied what strategy you will play before a game so i eventually settled on zerg and now i hate my decision because i always lose to toss xD | ||

People try to equal things out by saying the random player has an advantage because the enemy needs to scout. But on the other hand you ppl ignore the fact that the player needs to play every race somewhat decent. And I'm not talking about randoming in <gold league. You argue they don't start on the same level with the hidden race thingy? I argue that they won't when you would show the race. edit: On February 23 2012 23:15 sVnteen wrote: the problem with most random players is that they can't actually play any of the races properly so they cheese and because they are random it is harder to prepare for it (6 pool or 2 rax or proxy gates) This is so funny ... you talk about what leagues? | ||
