Its similar to asking Zergs to avoid BL/Infestor during its strength because it's imba or hard to play against (requires more skill to beat less skilled opponent).
I avoided that, can I shit on cheesers now? You're a real gentleman  A gentleman that only eats cheese even on a broodlord buffet. I just hated infestor, such a boring unit. I was the guy to spam roach/ling until one of us died.
Hard for me to imagine the Roach being a less boring unit than anything.

And I hate that, its kinda dirty, and in my believe not an "honest" win. a win is a win, it doesn't need to be 'honest', as long as there's no real cheating.
I will stop the bullshit protoss statement now.
But you cannot believe a win has the same "worth" if it is achieved in a dirty way. Michael Schumacher will always be remembered as record champion - as well as one of the dirtiest F1 drivers ever.

Protoss having the most varied cheeses is a fact no one right in the head is arguing that so there is no need to repeat it over and over :D Sorry, it just annoys me, that you can win a game solely by surprising an enemy  It really kills the fun for me. It completely takes it away for me, and many others. Its bad design I think Starcraft is a great game if you have a fun, macro games against zerg or terran, even toss if you have one that doesn't cheese. But it immidiately gets frustrating, more then a normal loss, when you lose JUST because of BS. I hope you understand my frustration 
You're probably only going to lose to a surprise if you take risks. Though at a top-level I admit it's necessary to take risks sometimes. I do think you're blowing things out of proportion, people seem to think PvP is hast he most luck and bullshit yet someone like Zest has an insane PvP winrate vs other Koreans despite PvP's reputation.

at least he was remembered, someone else noble out there might never be remembered... Also, how you are in a game or in the F1 track doesn't necessarily reflect your personality, so its not like those guys are bad people

But I don't consider it bullshit when it comes down to it.
Anything allowed by the game is fair and just to me.
I would like if there was less cheses because I think that the swarm hostless super late game zvp is awesome.
