Forced into sub optimal build vs someone who is going to play gimmicky/ weird because he doesn't understand the races. Doesn't understand the races? Alright. LOL. Yeah, owned. The random hate sounds like the people playing 1v1 and complaining about getting matched up against 3 zergs in a row ("So non-random! So many zergs out there!"). It's just irrational.
This trick is fancy, I'm going to definitely use it. Gotta get that third of a second head start on workers!

It's SOME tips are race reliant. Not all. Not every tip when playing random will be a race specific. It's a toss up if you get it.

but why blizzard doesnt reveal race in loading screen?
|
that would defeat the whole random aspect
|
lol I am so tired.. for a solid minute or so I was thinking "what? the tip of what thing? just the tip? what tip? OH THE TIP!" I forgot the tips even existed, I hardly ever notice em.

i dont find that this trick helps much, atleast for me
since i always already have my fingers on W,E,A,S,D at the start
and all races will basically start with the same worker build up to 8 supply (if zerg and want to 6 pool, just cancel the drone egg)
by the time that time i will surely already know what build order i want to begin with
If this trick told you the opponents random race, then sure this would be OP, but since it only tells what race you will be, i dont think its big of a deal
(i have both the dark voice and predator icons, so i have played a ton of random games)

Didn't know that! But then again, I don't play random. Random is the root of all evil.
|
Nice stuff, didnt realise till now haha. thanks!
|
I figured it out back in WoL since it happend there as well.
Not really new or anything but still interesting.

This is even more helpfull if the game loads slow, you can think ahead of the map and plan your strat accordingly, but even with fast loading times, for me at least this is great because i know what key to press for making the first worke so i save some miliseconds 
Now about the random haters out there, i bet that those who rage when you don't tell them your race are the same ones that rage anyway when they lose to a predetermined opponent, no matter how the game was played (ex "mech imba", "toss op" "no skill strat" etc). I play random in mid-high masters and yes, i cheese and allin too but i also play macro games in equall measure, you can't get better by having only one strat and a good player must handle all aspects of the game. I remember the beginnings of Starcraft 2 where players like Idra would only macro up and lose most of the times to cheese and others would only cheese/allin like BitByBit did...
Asking for your random opponent's race at the start of the game is like asking a terran player if he plans to open with 1 rax FE or with a reaper/hellion pressure build. Is not that hard to 9 scout, you know? If in WOL standard vs zerg for toss was FFE, now even if you don't know your opponent's race, 1gate expo is the new norm, so no more excuses... Random is not overpowered, and if your whole build depends on not scouting or scouting late, then you can lose to any cheese your opponents might do, not only randoms...

"Yet another Random trick" ha ha ha get it? "Random" trick? ha ha ha.....
|
Wow i didnt know about that at all. oh wait, i dont play random.
|
I just go balls deep and 1gate expo vs random, you can get away with a lot vs most randoms, and opening gate being safe vs zerg now due to msc takes out the BO argument, if you don't have any gateway openings vs Zerg then......... Vs Terran I 1gate expo anyway so it does not change my build and vs toss again the msc takes away a lot of risk, basically imo there is no advantage to playing random anymore(if there ever was) at least from a Protoss point of view.
