I'm pretty sure that if Terran is removed from SC2, all the hatred would turn to love. It would be boring but at least there is no hatred.

You see Terran is always winning big tournaments, but still whines. Whining results in hating. Babies = whiners. So if Terran babies are removed from SC2, whiners would be non-existent thus resulting in removal of hatred.

I think Blizzard should try it. Remove Terran in PTR and see how it goes. The maybe, just maybe, the world of SC2 would be a better place.

I think one of the biggest appeal of multiple races/factions/armies is that there should be different units from the other side that feel strong and absurd because your side does not have it. For me that was one of the greater appeal of Brood War, and Warcraft 3.

No, its been rooted since BW.

Would have been nice to see it gone but unfortunately it wont

It was never this bad though. The whining has increased ten-fold.

i dont think it will go away. even if everyone agrees that the game is balanced, people will hate mutas, marines and collossi.

I think it's the part of the competitive aspect in game. If we had a sport where we could choose three different weapons to a death-match, we'd be arguing which weapon is more OP and UP (i.e. Roman colloseum games).

Funny thing, when the game was rather imbalanced (beta, early days), people were friendlier.
These days... people just aren't mature enough to take losses as what they are - getting outplayed.

Everyone rages. Some of us say stupid shit some of the time when we rage. Others of us say stupid shit all the time whether we lose or not. I like to think that everyone handles it more or less the same way I do. I hate terran; I always have. I hated terran in bw and that hatred carried into sc2. It doesn't matter that terran now is totally different now. I mean, I first hated terran because of spider mines and those aren't even in sc2.

And I know full well it's irrational. Some of my favorite practice partners are terrans, and it would be insane to say player of race x is of y character. It's so stupid that to point out that it's stupid is a patronizing truism.

But hating on terran is part of what makes the game fun for me.

On SEA I've been messaged a few time after games, usually after chatting in game at the end about something strategically that happened.
Almost always end up 'friending' the player and having a few custom games.

On NA I got abuse so I went back to plying on SEA. Why be rude for?

I do rmemeber one guy who was rude to me on SEA at the start of a game, and I asked him why he was being rude and he said 'I don't know. Sorry, I didn't mean it"

so I think this thread is the only thread on team liquid in which I can state freely: Terran OP. Marines OP.

I dont hate the people who play protoss (im zerg), but I dont like the way the matchup plays.

ZvT is fun, and short of misclicking lings in ling/bane wars, ZvZ can be too.

ZvP? Nope.
