Here's an easy experiment to test the OP's poll results.

Go check out the B.Net forums right now where Balance whining is taken to a whole other level. Easy to see which race is represented the most.

Could be for any number of reasons, I still haven't been able to wrap my head around why Zergs just seem to be more vocal with their balance complaints. I forget which personality, I think it was Mr. Bitter, said it but essentially the theory is that Zerg just has a history of having vocal people in the pro scene that have reputations for balance whining that it just has managed to perpetuate into the player community.

That's the best reason I can think of personally.

I played Zerg and voted for Zerg. Race is designed to get people mad or something. Is this data not clear enough?

I think zerg is probably the most vocal because when we lose, we lose HARD, and at times it feels like skill didn't even come into play for the other race. Terran and protoss both have some brutal earlier timings where zerg just rolls over and dies if they dont see it coming. Then there are other things like widow mines which, especially on a casual level, can just randomly decide a game. Oh, and the ZvZ stuff can be pretty dumb too.

Zerg isnt a weak race by any means, but it can feel very fragile and unfair at times.

I think it's a bit harder for zerg players to look at a replay and see their production/macro mistakes. Where terrans and protoss constantly make workers and units in a linear fashion, it's harder for lower level zergs to judge where they went wrong in replays with injections/larvae usage. So instead Zergs are more inclined to blame a lot of their losses on opposing units rather than them not having enough of the right stuff at the right time.

Depots have a build time of 30 seconds, overlord / pylon only has 25 second build time.

I seriously doubt it's zerg to be honest, there were a huge period of time where toss and terran are all crazy complaining about zergdeathball

Interesting that the race perceived to complain about having it hardest gets played the least in this community.

A race who had BL/Winfestor and dominated most tournaments and still complained is kinda the obvious answer...

I'm a Zerg so I get really mad that our OP comp gets coin flipped by Archon vortex. How come you aren't as mad cuz your deathball was getting coin flipped also?

Stupid polls, because they are influenced subjectively by IdrA being the one and only never to be reached master of complaining about other races. His "apologize for playing that race" is legendary and makes any other complaining people disappear. Apart from that I dont really see the point, because we can only say "which race complains" if we know the player and the race he plays.
If you cant say what you're meaning, you can never mean what you're saying.
