Masters-level Protoss players, obviously.

I voted for Zerg on both, because ZvZ is the worst matchup ever, and I think a lot of Zergs can agree. I haven't seen a gg in one of my ZvZ's in ages, it's such a frustrating and fickle matchup.

What league are you in?

It is fairly safe to hold an FE on most maps, and anything beyond that point isn't really very frustrating or fickle imo. Of course if you open pool first every game ZvZ will be shit.

It's always funny when my opponents complain about ZvZ and then proceed to cheese like they don't have a choice in the matter.

I play Terran, am biased towards Terran, but will also cheer for Zergs depending on the match-up. Like FruitDealer in season 1, or Losira right now, it's hard not to root for people dominating with the "weak" race.

I hate Protoss. On occasion I'll root for White Ra or MC, but otherwise I wish every PvP ended in a double loss.

Why is there "hate" option? It seems to me, that everyone who hates any race, can't objectively talk about balance. Some MUs could be broken, but you shouldn't hate the race.

Poll is confusing. I play protoss but I think protoss is the best race hands down. I believe that protoss is hugely superior in PvT and I think PvZ is very hard. I think protoss is best race.

I think it is impossible for Z to beat T but ZvP is still manageable. PvP is just dumb.

I chose protoss as bias anyways

I'm not surprised by the results of the second thread. I play toss and I get the rage, I hate playing against Protoss to.

I've seen comics like this before... where can I get this meme-generator so I can make my own version? I don't know what it's called.

This poll is a waste of time without a Random option...some players have no bias.

I'm in plat. I call the matchup fickle because it's so easy to lose your whole army from a misclick, and it's really easy to get hit with an army at just the wrong time. It feels like I'm on a razor's edge the entire time, and I just don't like it.

I've actually been doing a lot of early sling/bling shenanigans in my ZvZ and I'm having tons of success with it, because it feels way safer to just not have to worry about their aggression, and most people can't hold it if they go hatch first. Even though ZvZ is probably my best matchup, I don't like it because I picked zerg to be a passive macro player, not play quick games that are decided by whose banelings get a good hit.

And yes, I realize that this sort of makes me one of the people who "cheeses and complains," but I think it's perfectly reasonable to be upset by the fact that my most reliable build right now is "cheesy." It's the same as Protoss players that hate 4gating but feel like they have to in PvP because they aren't comfortable holding an offensive 4gate without 4 gates of their own.

Its not from a meme generator, just save the pic, open it in photoshop/paint or whatever you have, delete the existing text and insert new text. The font i used there is arial western.

How can you say Z can't beat T. The matchup is by far the most balanced matchup (Not counting mirrors.)

And isn't it kinda odd being biased for a race you think is the ''strongest race'' currently?

I myself always tend to cheer for the ''weaker'' race, maybe just me.

I'm Zerg-biased and my secret QQ is I want more units with abilities so I get jealous of T and P. Wouldn't it be great if Hydras could stim or lings could blink?? Burrow is fun though.

Anyone remember in the beta when corruptors had the goop-spell? That was nasty good fun, going corruptors felt awesome instead of just a stepping stone to bro lords.

And there is nothing I hate more than realizing there is a second gate proxied somewhere nearby and zealots stream in while my pool is still building. I hate that even more than void ray harass: I think all Zerg players have come to understand the Zerg-bug language so we know when the queen spawns she is actually screaming, "PLUG THE VOID!!" UGH, TOSS.

So yeah, I voted Z-Bias, P-Hate :p
