I saw a thread like this one back a few month.
It was like, 35% zerg 32% protoss 28 terran%, something close to that. And the majority of TL were Diamond level zerg player actually.

well, it seems the toss count have reduced, but otherwise it seems roughly unchanged.

but why has the toss count lowered in the last months?

Meh. Don't take the numbers i gave as fast. It was something close. Just a general trend of having more zerg than protoss and more protoss than terran on the site. And the majority of players was Diamond level, which is pretty logical ( highest level of play who is still pretty large : 18% of player afaik )

And you should probably not compare to a poll who has still less than 500 reply lol

Unexpected because you thought it would be less? I main as random. I'm not trying to become the best of the best. I just want to have fun and know all the races.

Random players piss me off because I don't know whether to FFE vs Zerg or 12/13 gate vs P/T. I just cheese them. If you want to play all races, just switch amongst the other 3 without ruining everyone elses time.

maybe you should learn to transition from one bo to another instead of qq'ing? If they spent the time to get to the level as you for all 3 races, no reason they shouldn't get that little advantage of you not knowing their race for the first 2 mins.

There's probably a reason why no pros are random... =O

Nobody asked what you think about Random players, sorry. Let's not turn this into another thread where everybody argues about whether the "Random advantage" is fair or not.

Will be interested to see what this poll looks like once the sample size is a bit bigger but it looks pretty even so far.

Zerg player from release, always has been, always will be
You'll still have bias in threads, mainly because in a thread dealing with the Protoss state, you'll find mainly Protoss players. Same thing in threads dealing primarily with Zerg or Terran, they'll be more represented posts wise, giving off a false impression that TL is Z-biased or T-biased or whatever.
When you play the game of drones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground. Huge IMLosirA fan.

...or I can just tell people my race at the beginning of the game which I try to do every time (admittedly I do forget sometimes though).

I wonder if there is a thread like this for what league people are in as well... would be interesting. Because TL seems to be either mid-higher leagues or silvers.

Anyway, I play terran, all the way back to beta. I played WarCraft 3 as Orcs, and, because I was terribly noobish, would spam a triple layer of Watch Towers to the entrance of my base, effectively walling if off. I also played Night Elves, a little big better, and enjoyed amassing armies of Archers and those chicks that ride on panthers. So terran was sort of natural for me.

Man I love WarCraft 3, I think I will record some of that. Was such a great game *nostalgia*

I don't play ladder, but only team ladder games with my bronze/silver rl friends. And when I do this, I play random.

Furthermore, being random makes watching games much more enjoyable cause you are not overwhelmed by this fucking racial bias. I used to play Terran, so it's still a little bit inside of me, but it's getting less and less.

Terran atm, former Protoss, but I'd like to keep playing both races in the future. Glad to see such an even poll. There should be a poll like that more regularly
