unless you play random, you have a bias. Also if you do play random, you could still have a bias. Also the ratio of random people with no bias to people who play 1 race has got to be a lot lower than some of you are making it out to be

Big surprise.. TL is full of Idra fan-boy (hence his fan page) who hate protoss! Even though protoss has received only nerfs and zerg has received only buffs the past few months.

Basically when a zerg hates on a protoss for being OP this is what he is really saying "How dare you figure out how to play your race after being nerfed! fag op toss!

I know for a fact if IdrA didn't complain about balance so much, all of this protoss hate wouldn't exist (to this large of an extent).

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.


Ah thanks! I've seen that comic so frequently that I figured it was a meme heh

Yeah i saw quite a few of them knocking about, figured i could make some decent SC comics out of it. Takes like 30 seconds to change the text so theres no real need for a meme generator.

I don't really hate any race in particular. I dislike playing against specific playstyles for each race really....but that's about it.

I think zvt has been figured out, whenever I see a zvt game I know what to expect and I know that there is a decent chance zerg might win, but whenever I see zvp I just don't know what crazy new strategy the zerg will try, and I know before the game starts that the zerg's chances of winning are slim.

by the way, "random" is not a race, "random" is an excuse for a mediocre player to cheese the hell out of another play by abusing the hidden race advantage, whenever I face a random player I know not to respect him and expect the worst half assed cheeses, I then proceed to dance my units after I beat the crap out him.

So I understand you don't like Idra or his fans? Ok, thanks for stopping bye.

I was gonna say I hated protoss, but really I only hate forcefields.

The problem is, statistically, you're introducing a bias by creating a poll on a forum. Only forum readers, poll taking people will take your poll, introducing a bias.

What you need to do to remove all bias is message a % of people that play sc2 for a result =D

i have no bias towards any race. they all have ups and downs, cons and pros.

zerg vs protoss is the only tricky place. at first i thought deathball was too much as z.
then i realized ultra/roach/hydra/infestor can rip a part a typical deathball. then i came to realize ultra/roach/hydra/infestor is on par with immortal/voidray/colossus/HT/zealot/sentry/stalker.

its just tricky for zerg to macro properly to be on par with p's tech and quantity.

if anything, i like MU than any race. PvZ as P 1st, ZvT as Z second, TvP as T 3rd, ZvZ last with TvT.
(i've always liked PvZ since bw, 1/0 zealot vs lings are awesome)

IMHO, ZvT is the most balanced non-mirror matchup. I feel like overall, excluding the occasional double-bunker-ramp-block, the only way that a player will win would be if he outplayed his opponent.

TvP is probably right up there with ZvT, but in order for the Terran player to win they would have to either deal significant damage in the early-midgame or completely outplay his opponent in the lategame.

ZvP is.....
You've probably already seen it.

thanks for generalizing us random players in a negative light

i for one, when asked "race?" i answer truthfully. most of the time i just keep it simple and type t, z, or p at the beginning of the game.

No I love IdrA as a player, I just think that when a budding zerg player sees his zerg kingcomplaining about protoss, he too will complain wherever he can.

I am a 100% pure random player, and I do have a bias towards terran and zerg. However I do not favor one over the other.

I plan random to learn all 3 races not to cheese like most players assume randoms always are.

I don't hate any race, but Protoss always seems to cheese me the most (I play Terran). Between cannon rushes and proxy gateways, I feel they are the most annoying race (although mutas are the most annoying unit).

OP needs a "what race do you play: Z/T/P/R" option to see if it's just that random players are all biased towards zerg. Otherwise it's left as a confounding factor. Of course, it's a little too late for that now.

Nah, its not just Grack and the Zergs. A lot of Terrans hate Protoss as well.

This is interesting, especially given that Protoss is only doing okay against Zerg according to this chart:
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


The source, for anyone wondering, is this. The Korean version of this chart shows Protoss at a winrate of only 30%. I wish people would cut the Protoss hate already. With the possible exception of PvT, it's not justified in the slightest. People need to learn more aggressive tactics already.

Those comics were absolutely hilarious!

Being a Zerg player, I do have to show my bias towards that race. Primarily because I do think it is a more complex race in terms of timings/decision making/general strategy which makes every matchup it is in extremely volatile.
However, I can also understand some of the difficulties that terrans encounter, (in both ZvT and Zvp) - particularly in late game ZvT with high templar partnered with colossi.

Unsurprisingly therefore, I selected Protoss as the race I dislike most. Current playstyles of Protoss, (outside of the mirror matchup) are generally just boring and focus too much on 'ball' play.
That's obviously not to say there aren't great Protoss games - there certainly are - but I don't feel they are as common as in other matchups.
