Players will always have a tougher time against a certain race at certain times even if they are a GSL champion. It is only natural to blame the game rather than blame oneself for a loss. I personally have a love-hate relationship for terran. As a protoss player I tend to really hate terran, yet I usually secretly hope I play them because terrans are usually very predictable at platinum level so it usually means an easy win unless I really screw up. It's also natural to take a crap in the street, but people wait till they get to a bathroom. Learned behavior. Saying you hate terran because they beat you is frankly pathetic. | ||

No it won't go away, people will always find a way to blame their losses on the race they are playing against, for zerg its the protoss deathball. for Protoss its the massroach rush stephano style etc. | ||

I also don't expect anyone to fully understand until you play a lot on the NA ladder as Protoss, and then go play on the Korean ladder a lot as Protoss. I can say I've only been "bmed" on the korean ladder (and by BM I mean the spew of hangul beforre they leave) 2-3 times. On NA though? I can factually say hundreds of times. This is in master league too >.> The culture differences/ way the two cultures look at the game is the main issue. My question's context was, why the fuck can't we be like koreans and not be whiny douches on ladder?  | ||

It's a little hard to hate Zerg when I play Zerg. ZvZ is my absolute worst and most hated matchup. | ||

No, i dont think it will ever go away. It seems to be embedded not only in starcraft, but in a whole generation of internet users, It relates verry much to the age of people, you will see this alot less with people above a certain age. Unfortunatly the age-group where this mainly comes from is also the loudest. My personal hope for our community is that eventually the hatred in game, on a personal level, will go away with time. When someone is losing he will stop blaming it on balance and instead focus on the mistakes he made during the game I do share your wish but not your hope, extrapolating the trend seen over the past 5-10 years one can conclude that it will only get worse unfortunatly. Better grow a thick skin and avoid getting personally involved with annyone. Nice thread btw, The title seems dull somehow but i realy like the op. | ||

Some MU's can be frustrating at times though. At the moment mass roach seems almost impossible to deal with as protoss and I understand that lategame TvP is hard atm. | ||

You'd think people would be a little self conscious about race hate in a thread about how it's idiotic and killing esports and everything. But it's 40% full of people simply justifying it. Hah, wow. | ||
