 Rooting for races is fun in and of itself! Plus, certain races in certain positions SHOULD have it easier.. unless of course we have an utterly stale game. | ||

Funny enough besides funny "no"-oneliners things like this strike me the most: dunno whether to cry or to laugh actually. i know how i am when i am angry and i have flamed many many (protoss) players for nearly no reason but i keep it away from a public discussion forum like TL. Everytime i am not playing or have recently played the game i think about star2 rationally and i just like it the way it is. I like players chosing a race and i like playing against different races (because that obviously greatly seperates us from sth like chess). And though it is saddening i know myself well enough to be certain about the fact that the "discussed" phenomenon will not go away ever. edit: and right while i wrote this my poor eyes read this: speechless. That is more of a joke though, i hate zerg because my TvZ is bad and i die to infestors  | ||

Similarly, Protoss players don't really turtle to deathball to a-move victory, but sometimes it's fun to think that you've got it harder than they do and to be proud of the race that you play. Those that take it too seriously should probably cut back, but I've never had anyone threaten to beat me because I played Tauren or currently play Zerg. I think it just adds a bit to the interraction. | ||

So instead, I have decided to hate people that make a big deal out of anything involving this game (like the people that complain about the interface when it's completely fine, and the people that continue to play the game when they keep making threads about how they are so stressed out and afrade of playing, and for some reason they think anyone is going to give them sympathy on these forums or care at all when no one does). | ||

The problems you state, which you blame on race hate, I think are more-so due to people being short sighted and/or over emotional. However, in my experience having gone to several lans and barcrafts, is that most people understand that that rage is more directed towards the game itself than to players and that all but the most short-sighted player will blame someone (or instantly hate someone) because of the race they picked. I play vs a friend of mine who plays Zerg at masters lv (I'm a diamond Toss), and PvZ feels like my worst match-up. I can tell you that every time I play him for more than a couple games in a row I start raging at him a little and bitch about whatever zerg strat has been bothering me lately (usually Mutas >.<). Sometimes I keep my cool and other times I tell my friend I hate him and hope he dies, but we both understand that this has nothing to do with our actual friendship (we are quite close) and even though I rage like that at times we are both willing to play more a different day to get more practice. So, really I don't see this as an issue until people take it too seriously and make it an issue. Talk to that guy at the lan who raged at your race, why would you let that affect any chance to meet someone new? More than likely he'll laugh at his own rage and you guys can talk about what happened, what you think could have gone better. It's only the situation that the person is taking their own rage seriously that is an issue, and personally I don't think anyone who takes their own rage at a specific race seriously enough to de-friend you in RL of in-game is worth making friends with really. | ||
