I'll stop hating Protoss when TvP late game is actually fair. Either Buff terrans late game or make P's late game much more micro intensive.

Yeah thats why I'll always be hating Protoss b/c late game is literally unfair. No other issue is so blatantly obvious and broken than this. Theres a reason I see T only 20% of game on ladder over 200 games played recently. Theres also a reason all high masters random players agree TvP is hardest, but PvT not hard for them.

Again nobody will listen b/c the truth is drowned out by the cries of the ignorant masses complaining about stupid other shit.

The problem is, korean terrans just destroy protoss at tournaments like GSL. They gotta balance for the highest level of play.

Maybe they should change the way Protoss works so P HAS to micro. This will help solve issue at masters lvl AND give pros more options for things they can do better in fights at highest lvl.

That way both races can try to reach their maximum potential with micro. Currently the best and worst thing about Protoss is there is little micro involved relative to T.

Balance matters across all levels, that is why they nerfed void rays. If all the active players on ladder only have PvX, ZvX, the game will be less enjoyable and find less reason to WATCH high level games.

No RTS makes sense if 1 race (terran) has to react to everything Z and P make past 10-15 mins for 90% of all games, while the Z/P gets to dip and dap into w/e unit composition they want to "throw off Terran". It should be a 2-way street and 90% of time it is not. Part of this is due to metagame, but its still sickeningly true.

How many games do u have where the P lost b/c he "didn't see battlecruisers or sky terran or mech transition coming?"

yeah i answered already, whoever actually hates the race is because they're bad. balance doesn't matter in the a non competitive level. you can simply win by playing better.

I am an SC racist and I hate Terran.

I enjoy TvT not because I like the match up but I love to see Terrans trying to blow eachother up...win/win!

And what's bad about hating a certain race....I mean you are trying to kill them.

And protosses can easily say "I'll stop hating Protoss when TvP early mid game is actually fair." I think the hate comes from abusive builds at the mid levels of ladder. Stop mass muta as P in diamond? Not going to happen. Kill a P deathball as T/Z in plat (or Z deathball as T)? Hopefully you are happy with 10% success. Stop a 1/1/1 as P before masters? Good luck with that. I play as random, but when I watch pro games, when I see a 1/1/1, I want the P to hold it (because I can't). When I see the zerg just massing up mutas, I instantly want that player to lose. I want to see that protoss deathball die to the bio army, I want to see the BL/infestor comp get destroyed by the P/T player. I can image if I only played one race how quickly I would hate all zergs because they can so easily mass up mutas and roll over me on ladder, and so on.

People tend to hate the race they're least good at playing/the race they're least good at playing again. No surprise.
My strategy is to fork people.

I'd like to piggyback on this point, and say that this is starting to happen in TvZ as well, at least for me. After ~12-15 minutes, the zerg just seems to control the whole game with their hive tech. Infestor/broodlord is too strong IMO, and if you don't do something weird like a base trade or manage to drop 3 places at once and kill a lot of shit with the drops, it seems impossible to win an engagement well enough to do a counter attack. Even if you do manage to kill the zerg army off, they'll usually have banked resources and will just remax again, while your army is left in shambles. Also, since terran can't remax as quickly as zerg or toss, we have no way to put pressure back on the other guy lategame.

there is a human psychological impulse that causes a person to attribute their success to personal skill, knowledge, hardwork, etc. and their failings to external factors like bad luck, distractions, apathy, etc. along the same lines people often attribute other's success to luck and failings to lack of skill/knowledge, etc.

Naturally, people facing another person on the ladder will often fall for these impulses and attribute their success to skill and their failings to imbalance.

Also, it doesn't help that there are trolls online constantly pissing everyone off and the current ladder system which makes rising up in the ranks almost addicting. I will admit that I get 10x more angry when I lose on the ladder than when I lose in a custom game.

Or is it embedded within the SC community from the roots?


its embedded into humanity from the roots

whenever someone becomes a fan of something, anything they label as a rival or enemy gets nothing but hate

jsut ask some of the serious sports fans what they think about the other teams

The only reason this thought exists, the only reason people hate other people's races is that they find their respective matchup hard or stupid. People want to blame the player or the race for the own difficulty in whatever matchup, so this is where this race hate comes from.

Its just people blaming other people for things that are their own fault. Story of the universe
We were all raised on televion that made us believe we'd all be Millionairs, Movie gods, and Rockstars..... But we won't.... We are slowly learning that fact. And we are very, very pissed off.

I agree with this. Blizzard will take care of the balance. Whining on the forums isnt going to make you any better.

I doubt it will happen, unless some serious changes happen in the SC gaming culture.
I'm a good example myself of what I think is wrong with the culture. I can meet other Terrans on ladder and start venting about how easy this or that race is, despite knowing the fault of losing certain games is all mine. I just think people feel a big temporary relief by blaming another race, but in the end it's a vicious circle, because you don't fix your mistakes, and next game you make the same mistake, and just get more and more frustrated.

I think that the game is pretty well balanced, but I'd just wish some things were harder, so it'd be easier to see how much you fucked up. Sometimes it just seems impossible to beat this or that, and that's when I really start giving up on the game and go on massive tilt. :-p

Has anyone linked the Team Neutral Moon League yet? I seriously think that it's relevant to the OP. Hating Z P or T adds culture to our community, little bands of people mock-fighting eachother for their races.

I think that it is YOU who needs to take a step back, OP, and realise that this is just a game, and a bunch of people insulting eachother over race choice really isn't an issue at all. It's something to be embraced!
