Everyone hated orcs in Warcraft 1.

Everyone hated orcs in War2. You could only be orcs, really. =P

In fact, everyone hates orcs in War3! They're the reason UD retires!

Race complaining is part of the game, and part of the fun :D
I cant count how many funny conversations I had with my friends regarding races
There just comes a point when it is enough and its important to recognize that.
To your question, no it does never go away but I like it that way ^^

Assigning blame is one of the mind's defense mechanisms, which allows you to fail without your self-image shattering. That's a good thing. The byproduct of that is that a lot of people blame races, mechanics, units, or anything else in the game that they can't control for why they lost. This will never change as long as humans are humans.

As long as 3 races exist in the starcraft universe, the race that you are not playing will always be looked down upon. It is just common sense.

Look at ( I know its a poor example) the NFL. Say you are a huge Dolphins fan, and your team is playing another team, if the other team wins you arn't gonna be happy for them, you are gonna get pissed and try to find reasons why they arn't legitimate.

Just my 2 cents..

Aslong as terran can get more money then their opponent by using some energy in a economic based RTS game, ill hate them. its actully funny in a way how people try to justify something as stupid as this.

BW 100 times better then SC2 in both balance and gameplay. to bad the game is dead.

I think it's just an assumption of the unknown. The vast majority of players don't play all three races so as the methods change for the races they don't play they stop understanding how difficult the other races have it.

The grass is always greener, until you get there.

I blame the fact that its well accepted to play only one race. So instead of most people playing random and having a better overall perspective on how difficult all aspects of the game are, people get into ruts where they experience the tactic but have no implicit knowledge of how difficult it is. They only see the performance. Like anyone watching a professional sport they haven't played, the professionals make it look easy. Running around a court and swinging a racket and magically the ball lands right where they want it, how hard can that be? The devil is always in the details and until you have a well rounded perspective on how all the races' tactics work you will only see the performance with no understanding of how difficult it is.

Virtual racism at its finest.
Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.

So u agree? Terran has a huge advantage in lategame with the mules, considering they wont need as many workers and will have X amount more supply in army. Its a badly designed mechanic and should be removed/replaced with something else.

Are you suggesting they should have never introduced chronoboost or inject in the first place?

EDIT: You might be on to something...

It is my dream that one day, all races can be unified and get along. I play random, and if there's one thing the three races all hate, it's random players, so please, get along with one another and direct all your anger and hatred towards me. I will absorb all of your hatred, unifying you one step at a time, until you see that there is another way; a way of love. And together, may we all pave a path filled with love, and leave our disdain towards one another behind us and step toward a brighter and happier future

I call BS, yes the lategame army of Terran can and often will be higher in supply, however they lack a power Unit similar to High Templars / Infestors / Broodlords, that, correctly used can do an incredible amount of damage for relatively little cost.

So, they can be ahead in supply and still not be able to crush their opponent, which gives Zerg and Protoss the possibility to rebuild. With Warpgates and Larvae, they rebuild a lot faster. So everything has strengths and weaknesses.... big surprise I know..

So, as long as people are ignorant and do not think their thoughts through before opening their mouths, Imba whining will not stop.
So no, it will never stop.


Since this is also an "I hate X in SC2" thread, here is what I hate:
Fungal Fucking Growth. Half the damage of Storm, but guaranteed 100% of the damage dealt PLUS immobalizing the units PLUS detecting invis units, versus the fastest race ingame. Thank you, seems fair that my Blink Stalkers are usefull for about 2 minutes in a game.
Storm is never 80 Damage vs a competent opponnent and has none of the extra gimmics. Yo, what up?!
Also you would not need to introduce some funky way to harrass the economy if you would allow Phoenix to exist in PvZ.

Edit:
Not saying it makes zerg OP (Roaches are enough for that but it does not fit the race or even the game imo.

People will always complain. Race is just an outlet to do so.

imagine Starcraft only had Terran as a race, so every game was TvT. Instead of forum posts like Protoss OP, it would be Seige Tanks are so Cheap or Marines are OP.

I think it's a huge problem and it's not okay. The people saying it's fine are those who are doing the constant raging. It makes the ladder less of a FUN place and destroys the purpose of playing a STRATEGY game. The current "top race" keep changing, something many people can't understand.
