I play all 3 races but the way protoss is designed is just somhow more boring to watch then mass zerg units streaming in and getting killed or the micro of a terran. With protoss you have those low numbers of hightech units clumbed together and wait for the protoss player to press the F button or the T button in a fight. 2 of those even worse. Also the reinforcement mechanics/macro of the other 2 races are more interesting to watch then just "warp in in your face". PvP is absolutely the worst matchup it lacks in variety and the race is designed too cheesy so its either way a very fast cheesy win or a mirror build. U can't really tell you what it is exactly, but if it goes for mirrors, the best MU is TvT, because there are different valuable strats, even mech vs bio but even so within bio vs bio, very interesting approaches (though, I am talking about macro games here, not the recently more cheesy ones). Roach vs Roach isn't interesting either, but mass of armies engaging is better then 2 groups of low numbers-high tech units AVOIDING to engage until the final, anticlimatic battle. Also I am tired of seeing PvPs, as if there weren'T enough in 2014. It got better recently, but throughout 2014 there have been 100s of PvPs, PvZs and ZvZs, and not that much of terran, leading to a sort of "tiredness" when it comes to watching Protoss. At least that is in my case, and ofc not everyones opinion. But I am not alone, as I have seen viewer counts going down from 36K to 25K. But sometimes its just pure hatred because of the "protoss bullshit" (see the article here) or some players, being ahead making one mistakes and getting walked over so hard by the protoss, even the term "protossed" doesn't fit anymore. Its just sometimes annoying to watch, and even though the winrates point to a very balanced game on most maps, when watching, it sometimes feels unfair. But I guess the latter goes for every non-mirror matchup and race. But I have the FEELING it is mostly with protoss, and SCV Pulls and such are pure desperation sometimes, not having a real lategame plan I hope this helps you more to understand then the typical "Protoss is just a boring race"  | ||

Basically 10 pools every time would be perfect | ||
