Nice thread OP. You know what? I'll say it; I think it can go away if we truly want it to.

No it wont because it's a fact that some races are easier at different levels, and it frustrates people that they have/had to work harder to get to the place they are at.

For example, mained Protoss since Bw and eventually for into masters. Then to mid masters, got bored and tried zerg. Took me one month to get into masters as Zerg. At that level, Zerg is easy as fuck, I couldn't believe it. Don't get me wrong, I understood the game very well. I never played Terran, but it seems the hardest race to master. And I stand objectively as I quit sc2 and don't care about all the bullshit. However when I say 'mastered' I don't mean one base cheeses all the time to masters.

To be honest, I don't want the race hate to disappear completely.
I like the tension between opposing sides.

as long as any game has any sort of race or class (or both), there will always be hatred. its sort of a microcosm of society as a whole.

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.


Oh yes, and do you see this "huge advantage in late game" for terran anywhere? GSL games? MLG games? Battle.net statistics?

If there is a difference in a thing (in this case a race) then hatred will always occur between them

It's clever - but not true at all. Do you think PvZ is just 2 players sitting in their base doing nothing? No pressure and no harrass? Even in PvT the protoss will often be the aggressor or the harrasser.

Yeah, I think there will always be the "race-hate" but I think for eSports it's actually good. In WoW in made so much tension that even talking to a few friends about it could get you all fired up (in a good way). I (as a protoss player) like when I'm sitting next to another P-player or even a T-player and complain about zerg. I also love talking to Z-players about banshees and drops. It's easy to just call "OP", because I think the game is pretty balanced. But some things are just really hard to handle, if you aren't prepared.

the whole point of the joke is that its a gross oversimplification

congrats on reading way too much into it

btw fuck terran i'll always hate them because of the way siege tanks evaporated everything for a majority of the beta and thats not even mentioning the way they could abuse early map pools

Probably not, since almost everyone is weak against a specific race. Leenock is great against Terran but struggles against Protoss, while Lucky is the exact opposite. Unless someone is equally good against all races they'll probably dislike the one they're weakest against.

Unfortunately, until the perfect balance for all three races comes up, there is going to be QQ's from each race lol.

Even if you could prove that it's entirely irrational for any one race to dislike another race (which you can't because its a subjective subject) human beings do not act entirely rationally (some do more than others). Therefore there will always be race complaints and balance complaints.

No...even with perfect balance there will still be hate.

Blind hate = noobs that can't accept the fact they made mistakes and lost because of them...not because of the other player's race

Fan-hate = ppl who support fanatically 1 race, disconsidering the other 2.

Sports revolve arround fans. Fans of X hate Y. Hate makes sports what it is today. Hate is sadly a very important part of our society and it's even part of our evolution (historically).

It's like asking "Will slavery ever dissapear" when your iPhone (just an example) is made with components "farmed" by ppl exposed to slavery. Fail much? U are dependent on items made by slaves thus u are dependent on slaves. Same thing with hate....u just don't want to fully admit it or u don't see it.
U MAD BRO?

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.

Exactly my thoughts, but it makes more sense when you spend a day on the NA ladder.

For me the hate came from terrans telling me i didn't play zerg correctly, this was during the time of mass reapers and 3 range roach :p not to mention pre tank-nerf.

Why would it? Some people are going to dislike certain races, both as an opponent and their mechanics.

People will continue to hate certain races because each race has weaknesses in certain areas. When people see their opponents exploiting the strong points of their race, aspects that are probably weaker in one's own race, they get mad.

That aside though, brood war was once 50 times less balanced that SC2, if you look at the differences between the DPS, the spell-casters, and the build times. Any race that complains about EMP/fungal/storm should realize they're variations on an AoE damage spell. Comparing and balancing the powerful brood war abilities like swarm, plague, irradiate, storm, and recall impressed me a lot more than the balance changes in unit range and stuff like that.
