Anyone who doesn't say zerg is crazy, the only time balance whine from anyone came close to zerg players is during the dark ages of BW PvZ, before Bisu made it playable (protoss players were so fucking horrible at PvZ before that with the exception of nal_ra and maybe 1 or 2 others).

It makes sense for zerg to feel the most victimized tho, its a reactionary race that relies on fast expanding 100% of the time, and the other races (well, terrans anyway) gameplan revolves around fucking with their shit constantly... Zerg players who arent constantly annoyed are either really good or masochists most likely!

From my observation throughout SC2, protoss players complain the least. That's because protoss players are usually mentally different from the other two races. Most manly? Yes. And we know that Blizzard will never fix our race. (removing warpgates)

However, Terran and Zerg have dominated the game in longer stretches than protoss ever has. So this looks pretty bad for the attitude of Zerg and Terran players.

Of course zergs. They whined about being underpowered with broodlord winfestor, most of them complained that they had to split their units against a vortex

Toss players cried unreal hard about 1/1/1.

Protoss have much more build orders to work with while Zerg cannot dictate the game as much, unless it is a zergling all-in or a bust while Protoss can have relatively safer (but not ultimately) builds that can punish.

Terran, on the other hand, can dictate the midgame with drops, mapcontrolling units such as hellions and Widow Mines, etc.

Zerg do not have that great of a luxury and have to play on top of their game to make the best decision as possible.

This.

With banshee cloak buff, i'm sure i'll see tons of 1/1/1 abuse on ladder since siege no longer required tech lab plus the timing before cloak significantly improved.

This might sound weird but as a protoss player I'm pretty excited to be facing different variants of 1-1-1 again. Should be fun!

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.

It's got almost nothing to do with that lol. If you've ever played zerg a ton of your losses come out of absolutely nowhere, and it's frustrating as hell. Really it's the only reason I started playing terran, the mechanical difficulty is pretty much the same for both zerg and terran, and I feel about a million times safer against most things.

And then our cries were silenced by the slow build of the terran screams of imbalance, that blanketed the community and still echo through the halls to this day.

Because 1-1-1 almost made toss extinct in GSL. Remember when there were 20+ terrans like 3 GSL's in a row?

The flip side of this is that if Terrans CAN'T dictate the midgame then they usually have huge disadvantages in the late game due to the way their macro works and the relative weakness of their higher tech units.

This is why you never see Terrans simply sit back and macro endlessly the way you see Protoss or Zergs play. A passive Terran is a dead Terran, it's a whole other level of frustration.

I remember zergs bming me and crying imba when I won on ladder even during the height of bl/infestor bullshit. And these were top masters/gm players who I would have thought knew the game enough to at least objectively realize that was op.

Protoss players, on the other hand, balance whine by signing up for the sad zealot fan club. It's much less obnoxious and gives one more of a sense of community.

Oh I remember that. Hurts actually, really still hurts. I don't think I have ever forgiven Terrans. In BW I always cheered against zerg. In SC2 I just want Terrans to fail everytime. I really hate this new Terran race.

I still want a balanced game though. Unbalanced wins IMO are empty victories.
