Fuck terran, people will always complain whenever protoss wins a single game, and zerg is always perceived as being weak even though they seem to win the most championships.
Long live the Boss Toss!

Although there's generally hate in every game, the trend is, people tend to hate things that are easy to execute but hard to defend against...such as the 1/1/1 in pre-patch 1.4 or hilde's ringout combo in soul calibur 4.

The most hated race has always been Terran.
I blame Blizzard for this because how strong they made Terran's early game compared to the other two races.

Protoss have glaring difficulties defending against mass mass unit counts.
Zerg has difficulty getting anti air.
Protoss lack good harassment tools.
Zerg lack siege weapons until late late game.
Both protoss and zerg lack good detection capabilities in the early game.

While Terran gets everything and are relatively cheese-proof since the release of the game.

Now, I do not think Terrans are as OP as they used to be and I'm not sure how much better they really are in the current build of the game. However, there's still residual hate for that race due to how broken they were historically.

The animosity tends to be self perpetuating as well. Even just reading this thread I'm annoyed at how many posts there are about how 'protoss is the noob race which requires no micro'. It is frustrating to read that apparently winning games as T or Z would be more of an accomplishment. It's bollocks. Unfortunatly since every race has exploitable strengths and weaknesses players are always going to have something in their opponents play to single out and vent their frustrations.

Don't blame the races, blame your own 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?"

+ Show Spoiler +
First off, 2 things, 1 Z is mostly a reactionary race, not T, T dictates the game, if they are not, they are failing. 2 As T you should have done a strong pressure build early to catch P off guard or force them to react and MICRO and not just turtle because P late game is strong.
Continuing on, P is strong late game, they are weak early game, and then they have all their tech units late game, lets see what terran has usually? Tier 1, thats right, vs. what? Tier 3! Gasp, its almost as if the Protoss has a tech advantage that you are whining about that was easily exploitable in the mid game and early game. Their tier 3 also is very slow, i wonder how we could exploit this feature? DROPS, DING DING DING!

Also your basic mechanism is, *Picks most micro intensive race that benefits the most from micro*, *Ladders*, *complains about how he has to micro more than another race*


I have spoiled the above text because it could be seen as trollish, please be warned

PvT late game can be very difficult for Toss if terran plays the game correctly in the early to midgame, you have to pressure and dictate the flow of the game as terran, thats how GSL players win, thats how all terrans usually do win.

The reason anyone complains is because they seem to be unable to reach the gold standard, the S class and so therefore they either admit they are bad, or complain about a reason they aren't a pro player.
User was warned for too many mimes.

Lose to a race you don't play -> Terribly overpowered race
Win against a race you don't play -> They sucked
Lose to the same race -> Terribly balanced coin-flip game
Win against the same race -> Terribly balanced coin-flip game

That's basically how it works, and it looks even more stupid when people do it in large groups (people seem to think yelling louder or more often makes them right).

Your post warms my black cold Terran-hating heart.

BTW, I want to see MKP cry again.
He's a phenomenal player that probably deserves his own GSL win....but
he represents everything I hate about Terran.

Almost everyone that plays a designated race thinks that their race is the hardest to play and is the most under powered, it's extremely illogical.

People just need to realize that they are the problem, not the game! Fix yourself before trying to blame other causes.

People bring up the example that its still around in BW, and it is a little, but certainly not as much as sc2. Players do terrible, terrible vocal damage to each other over what race they play, and when browsing the forums, this coldness doesn't seem to be as present in BW threads.
I could be totally wrong though because I read a lot more sc2 LR and comments, but this is just the impression I get.

I guess what I am saying, is that I have hope that everything will even out with time, and people can stop saying X race A move, X race has OP unit with ez build and so on and so on...

Race hating is a part of Starcraft. After all, the insult "Protoss can just 1a2a3a" has survived to this day. That should be proof enough. Trying to exterminate BM and race hate is like trying to exterminate stupidity. You probably won't be successful.

What do you need the 2a3a part for?

Just kidding! Don't hurt me!

I really recommend everyone should try playing all three races for a bit - I played Random for 4 months and struggled a LOT.

Because you can't hotkey all your units onto one key! You can use up to 36 units as protoss in brood war to crush your competition! It's all you need!

I hate zerg the most, because they can see the map all time and expand everywhere, then they also get the fastest units and can always run away and dont need to commit to an engagement. They should have the weakest units at least, but banelings, infestor and gglords are stupidly cost effective.
To top it off they also whine the most.
Only thing that makes me happy is that I dont have to play zvz, but they have to ^_^

It will never go away as you can see in this thread.

I honestly hate protoss from the bottom of my starcraft heart, it all started with their complaining about imbalance when tvp was just fine. Now terran has been nerfed to all hell and tvp is a joke. pvz is also a joke protoss either a two base all ins or b turtles to deathball and wins. I honestly can not watch any protoss other than a select few just because it is so damn mind numbing. As you can see its not going away anytime soon.

so you hate protoss players for complaining about the m/u a year ago when protoss pro's were usually <45% w/r in the m/u? not to mention back then Terrans usually accounted for 50%+ of the GSL players?

and now you yourself are complaining about the matchup while terrans still have a >50% w/r in the matchup at the pro level? (excuse me, they had *cough* 64% w/r in tvp last month)
