i direct my hate toward blizzard for bad game design...but no it won't ever go away and its really not a problem. If people are going to begrudge you at some local LAN after a game they lost, they are probably not worth your time.

I don't actually mean any of it.

I understand that it takes skill to play the race...but with how they roll me like I'm a scrub, I have to lash out somehow...'cause I think it's dumb how 5 colossi make it look like I picked up the game two days ago...


this sums up my feelings pretty well

Hating the other race(s) has been a part of RTS games since the beginning. I used to play the original Warcraft and Command and Conquer games back in the day and knew people who used to side only with one race/faction and hated the other in very much the same manner as goes on in SC and SC2. It's become a bit like team rivalry in football and, sadly, never goes away.
Trolling the Battle.Net forums, the most fun you can have with your pants on.

StarCraft 2 is about war. If you are on war you have to hate your enemies. If you don't, then it loses it's sense.
If you make no mistake, yet still lose - you don't understand the game. Spiral out, keep going.

That would mean you should hate yourself in a mirror match.

EDIT:
Given you are not talking about players but gameraces.

Did people really still hate the other races in BW? I was a long-time Broodwar player and I honestly didn't experience much racism as I do in SC2. I experienced more ad-hominem attacks than anything in BW :D

Haha Starcraft racism. I don't know but I rarely encounter race specific hate (sure a lot of rage quitters) but never to the "fucking protoss faggot" extent. But I can understand people getting really salty after a losing streak and since it's the interwebz, a personal insult easily slips out. I just rage quit without gg if I'm that angry.

Its a part of every competitive online community, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (the "main" SF2 version) that people play in tournaments to this day hate Guile and Dhalsim characters/players. People in Quake 1 hated the Rocket Launcher and anyone who used it. AWP in Counter Strike. In WoW it was Rogues until Death Knights came with WotLK

There is always hate and "rivalries" going on, i remember i always cheered for BW Protoss because to me they were the underdogs for a long time and i was always drawn to players such as Intotherain and Garimto.

In single player games i dont think you really see that, sometimes we have annoying fucking characters, like the ones in newer Zeldas that cannot shut the hell up and constantly annoy you, but its usually in competitive online games this happens.

nope, everyone is gonna hate the race they can't beat cause they feel like its imba. Its how it is with every game. Theres something people can't deal with and they will hate it.

Congratulations, you're 5 years old.

See, Idra is such an inspiration to aspiring gamers everywhere, with his attitude that keeps e-sports squarely in the realm of the mind-numbingly immature.

It will continue as long as Blizzard is patching the game because it's a definitive sign of imbalances.

Why would I blame myself for losing when I can blame Protoss for being a cheesy-ass easy to play race?

^^ This is why race hate will never go away. And good too because fuck Protoss.

But that is part of the fun. If there never was any BM in pro gaming, I think it would be a fairly boring place. Everyone needs someone they love to hate, or hate to love.

To the OP : you can improve your chances of having a friendly match by inserting a friendly smiley after your opening-game-statment.

Example : "hf gg "
Even better : "hi" ==> "hf gg ! "

Personally I now add smileys and punctuation like this when I wish fun for my opponent, and the response IS REALLY better than without it. I also feel better when my opponent is the first to type something and inserts a smiley, or says "hi" before the usual "hf gl gg" statement, so I think that it is natural that most other players react like I do.
It works, try it out (EU server, masters level, if it matters)

Its not really a matter of will this ever dissappear from starcraft, so much as will it dissappear from the human mentality. That is that we like comfort and acceptance and are opposed to feeling uncomfortable (because back in the day, when you were feeling "uncomfortable" it usually meant you were in a life or death situation). And society has just become lazy, (especially western society), where is it is so much easier to lay the blame on something else "Hmmmph, that P/Z/T just beat me because his race is imbalanced" as opposed to "wow, I was out-played that game, maybe I should look into whatever flaw I had in my gameplay that caused that loss". Self-reflection is not a big thing in our society because the Ego is.

So will it go away? No, not likely. Best you can do is just find a group of friends who feel the same way as you and play with them. And at tournaments? Don't worry about how others feel, its got nothing to do with you its just how people deal with things.

And btw, if you think the SC2 community is bad, you should play HoN or DotA. Probably the worst gaming community ever rofl.
