I think that it will eventually disappear as we intermarry and co-mingle to the point where race becomes less visible. Look at NZ, they estimate that in 30 years 80% of it's population will have Maori blood.

It won't go away, it's just one of those things that happens I guess...

Generally the hate doesn't transfer onto a personal level, I'm not sure if you've ever been to a barcraft, but (at least in our's), it's irrelevant what race you are. Definitely there's some oohs and ahhs if you play Terran or Protoss from certain people but its definitely in jest...

Not so impressive, 200 years ago it would have been close to 100%

I think this kind of attitude has less to do with game balance than it has to do with player preference. As long as there are players who choose to focus on only one race, we'll see these attitudes regardless of how well balanced the game becomes. As players choose to branch out to playing all 3 races, and stop sayings "I'm a Terran" or "I'm a Zerg" or "I'm a Protoss" and start saying "I'm a Starcraft 2 player", they become less likely to display this attitude.

Probably not. Based on posts I have read over the past few months, Terran players just have a special perspective on the game.

i don't hate any race, but ZvZ is boring unless it's 2 top kr players.

Like Tyree pointed out, this is part of every competitive Game (even inSports like Soccer, F1 Racing,...). Its no "real hate" its just frustration seeking a valve.
In SC2 ist especially frustrating if you KNOW some type of play is coming and you prepare for it and lose nontheless.

Have you seen Artosis in brood war? It is really not just a game when you are pouring your heart into playing it, only to lose to some simple build that is incredibly hard to stop by the other race. There is always going to be hate and its just how it is.

Always.

I'll stop hating Protoss if they make it an interesting race.

As a Protoss player, I don't understand how lower league players such as Diamond and below can not hate the colossus. You attack into them and your army melts O_O.

It probably won't ever go away, unfortunately. I like all the races though

I used to play race wars a lot in the golden days of bw, and would always play random back then in team games and what not.

Now I just choose different races all the time. I think most of the racial hate is when a player decides to only play one race every time and they never experience the thrill of playing with all three races, and so they never gain the appreciation for using the other races.

If you think Zerg is OP and lame, go play zerg for a while, see if you can roflstomp people with them. If you think "marine imba", go try massing marines only as Terran and see what happens. If you hate dts, go do a dozen dt rushes as Protoss. Hopefully, you'll either A.) Enjoy it more, and then in the future you can laugh when playing against your hated race, or B.) You will realize it's harder than it looks, and your groundless hate on OP units will subside.

No because someone always has a match up they find more difficult, or their W/L ratio is least against, and most likely they will hate that race.

hate is human, its never going to go away.

also most ppl hate imbalances, not the "race" itself, and at this stage the game is very fragile.

i will hate protoss forever :3

The way we choose which race to play forces us to dislike other races. We play them and lose, we dislike them. Its the same reason why you root for your race normally in a big tournament or you rather watch your race play etc.

If they remove Terran, then race hating will go away. Jking, but the race hating is a lot of fun and I actually root against terran in nearly every game, giving me vested interest when watching. Rational, fair, reasonable? Not at all, but then again neither is team hating in football, it does make things more fun.

Really I hope that race hating never goes away, and that someday team hating spreads to add more emotion and vested interest to the Esports scene.
