I vote to show race on screen.. if they are playing random let them but why should get an advantage just for choosing random.

I do not count that as an incentive. I think people play random because they like all three races.


I play random. Most games I tell what race I am, as I feel bad for protoss having such drastically different openings for each different race. I'm fine with it as it is though tbh

Well you know the saying, "If dragonblade369 doesn't count it, then it doesn't count"

The point of random is not to hide your race from the opponent, it is to play a randomly selected race from the 3 available ones...

I honestly think that the race you are playing should be revealed.
I'm a high masters Random player, and I tell my opponents what race I am at the start of every match.
If I don't tell them my race, I usually get 'cheesed' / 'all-inned' / etc. and then sworn at and BM'd when I hold it off.
I play random because I enjoy playing all 3 of the races.
There is still an advantage for random slightly in the competitive scene if it is revealed, because an opponent won't be able to prepare specifically for a match up against you, which allows for you to play a bit more unorthodox and get away with it.

because they have to learn 3 times as many matchups?

They maybe can implement an option for the random player(Pre-emptivly checked before searching for games): They can choose to either reveal their race or not at the loading screen. I think that's the most we can do.
