People will always hate losing and that means that they will at times blame the opposing race. It's natural to hate or dislike something so there would always be people who dislike or hate another race. Also someone might not hate the entire race but one specific unit or play style.

Probably won't go away. I've always disliked Protoss since BW. I've always had the hardest time against Protoss in BW and in SC2 I find them hardest to play. I'm so used to Terran and Zerg at the moment.

I don't hate people who pick Protoss though that's a bit much I think.

Terran needs help with the macro because marines are so weak.

Marines have to be weak with those insane dps.

yep they are weaker than ultras witch is bad but they killa ultra one vs one. i think marines need ultras hp tho.

It's not Starcraft, it's competition, people who are compteting love to blame circumstances which are outside of the players control.(I'm sure we've all heard "Oh the reffs were so shitty in my soccer game the other weekend" or something of the sort.) Balance just happens to be one of the easiest factors to blame when it comes to most competitive videogames.

I have noticed that for me this does stem into real-life situations as well.

I meet a fellow starcraft player and ask what race they are, and if they answer terran then I automatically respond with "I hate terran!" even though I actually like terran...as a protoss player that response seems to have just spontaneously birthed itself in conversation. I wish it didn't and I try to fight it but it still rears its ugly head.

Humans naturally want to form groups and anyone who is not part of your group is considered and outsider who becomes everything bad in your eyes.

I don't think it will. If someone says he plays Protoss, the words gimmicky, low, treacherous and honourless automatically come to mind, even if I know it's a great guy. I wouldn't let my daughter marry a Protoss player.

It will, when people start to realize the problem is in themselves. Not racial imbalances or so.
Wait a minute, I lost my hope again..

I don't understand this thread. Hating Terran is part of the fun.

To be honest it's really common across almost all competetive games. In Dota and LoL people will be blaming their team instead of themselves. Starcraft is a game where you have no one to blame but yourself, so people convince themselves that there is some racial imbalance going on, and not that they got outplayed.
The best players will always be the ones who disregard whining, and instead blame their loses on themselves

Hating a race is a vital part of SC2 imo. Its how we get invested in games that our favorite players are not in. Thats why mirrors are unpopular. If you don't like terrans then your not gonna wanna watch tvt. same with Protoss and Zerg mirrors.
In Hearthstone we pray to RNGesus. When Yogg-Saron hits the field, RNGod gets to work

Have u ever seen Xbox and playstation fanboys arguing with each other over

some trivial stuff on video game forums?

Even if the balance is perfect there always will be people whining about balance

I hate the other 2 races because I play my race. This has nothing to with with them personally and it's not about balance. I play my race you play yours. We're natural enemies. Get over it.

I hate PvZ with a passion, seeing a Zerg in the loading screen gives me that 'oh no' feeling, I still don't feel that gives me carte blanche to abuse the other guy I'm playing.

Hating races or matchups is great, adds some emotional investment into matchups when you don't really care for either of the players involved. Just don't spill over into being obnoxious as hell that's all!

personally, i think most of the race hate is more frustration then anything else.

I rarely bm; i don't racehate at all.
When I bmed it was mostly because i lost to something i know i should've won. (like proxy stargate; which I haven't encountered in a very long time now..) But racehate is another thing: i could just play that race if i thought i'd be invincible

I play zerg, almost no one bms in my experience (on eu) (except for one other zerg, to who i started talking. He added me as friend 3 games later )

It will never go away. This is deep rooted within human nature.
