I believe this to be a valid thread so it needs to have a solid amount of responses. A lot of times we end up with these huge balance threads that are pages upon pages. Everyone has a bias. I believe we need to find out the TL bias. We act like TL is a valid representation of the sc2 community. That's why we come here and post our opinions on balance and patches. It is important to know if you are reading a thread and have a lot of QQ by a specific race, what the TL bias is.

This would be nice to know when you feel like you are seeing a lot of QQ. Personally I feel Zerg players QQ the most but maybe thats because TL has mostly zerg players. Who knows though? Maybe zerg players just post the most. No way to know without data. That's why this is for science.

So..post what race you play. However! Try not to just pick the race you play. Pick the race you have are biased with. Maybe you play random but have a bias for zerg, then don't pick random..pick zerg. Most people will pick the race they play but some might not so keep that in mind.

EDIT: Adding this to the OP to help people understand the poll choices.

The point is not to figure out what you play. Its to figure out what TL has a bias towards. If you play it, you will generally have a bias to it.

There really is no way for you to play a specific race and say you are not bias to it. It's impossible. You are obviously bias because you play it all the time. Your opinion is based on your experiences playing that race. If most of TL plays zerg then their opinion is mostly based on playing Zerg. If you think that has no bearing on how TL feels about patch notes or tournament results, you are dead wrong.

While its true that there are people that play random and don't have a bias, they are much more rare. Also someone who has a bias but plays something else is also pretty low. Like artosis has a bias for zerg even though he plays toss now.

Poll: What race is your bias?

Zerg (536)
 
44%

Protoss (350)
 
29%

Terran (321)
 
27%

1207 total votes

Why is there no "I don't hate any race" even when I'm biased to some race?

One of the, "Which Race Do You Hate?" questions should be asked once a month. The volatility of people on this forum is hilarious to me.

"I believe this to be a valid thread so it needs to have a solid amount of responses."


What exactly are you saying here?
"A coward is not someone that runs from a battle knowing he will lose. A coward is someone who challenges a weak knowing he will win."

All I'm saying there is if it doesn't get enough responses, then it's not valid. Trying to increase the sample size is all.

Thats some funny comic there ^^

I voted for Terran first and Protoss the second.
I've said many times in TL that I hate Protoss tho it was the first race I played in SC2 and its not a whine or something, my TvP is way better than my TvZ so its just that I dont like the current style used by P.

Yeah, I agree. Most balance complaints have about 8000 counterarguments, and it really is a waste of time.

It would be funny to know how many protoss players also picked protoss as the race they hate because of how sucky PvP is lol.
They're fools. You should eat them.
