Every single game has a class/race/etc that someone will hate whether because they think they are overpowered, easy to play, or imbalanced. | ||

That is, until maybe we all decide to play random. | ||

I understand that it takes skill to play the race...but with how they roll me like I'm a scrub, I have to lash out somehow...'cause I think it's dumb how 5 colossi make it look like I picked up the game two days ago... did they? what if they had not played any brood war (like myself) and picked protoss (i picked zerg initially, but say I did pick protoss) while knowing absolutely nothing about starcraft other than 1 commentary I saw on youtube? i didn't even play the campaign. had never seen a brood war vod. and most people stick with the race they initially chose. and that initial decision is most of the time, not based on balance as you don't know what balance is when you're just starting out. I have trouble thinking of a pro-gamer that consistently switches races when theirs becomes weak.. why? cause if you are constantly switching races you will end up sucking compared to the ones who stuck with their initial choice 100%. thus, the mentality of "They chose the easy race on purpose" needs to go, IMO. | ||

I loved all the races in BW and I don't have the same level of malice directed at any other RTS faction but Protoss just annoys me in as many ways as it can. I don't take it out on players though (unless they complain) and enough of the really casual players that chose their race based on easiness and cheese strategies are mostly gone playing other games. | ||

What other people do or did has no bearing on how much I suck vs 5 colossi (obviously, except for making 5 colossi). I just need to not suck vs 5 colossi...and then the problem seemingly disappears... I've found that all the solutions I've ever needed always start and end with me. | ||

A memory of our more primitive beginnings, it is ingrained in human nature. The effects of it can be seen everywhere, from sports to politics. It will never go away, however the more mature and self-aware a player is, the more they can control it. | ||

 Just have a sense of humor about it. I don't think most of the hating is 100% serious anyways | ||

There is always a match up (my worst at the time) that I will tilt against or think is dumb but I improve and that "hate moves around. I dont think the hate will go away but I do think its alot less the better you are and a lot more of an issue in lower leagues. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzpndHtdl9A + Show Spoiler + Yes I realize that he wasn't on the Flyers when he said this, sue me. It's not strange to me that people will act immaturely on ladder, whining and BMing after losses, but what is really astounding in my view is how accepted this behavior is. Imagine a 12 year old little league baseball player who refuses to shake his opponents's hands after a game, and calls them names and such. He would be reprimanded and told to "act his age". We're a community of people who are (for the most part) older and more mature than 12 year old little leaguers, and yet for some reason people think that BM is some sort of accepted part of the community which we should either live with or promote. It's really weird to me how different this is from every other activity/sport I've participated in. | ||
