I am with you Z-man. I'm going to avoid the general discussion threads for a while and stick to the lands where people really watch SC2. The live report thread for WCS challenger league was a blast last night and after that, there is no reason to go back to general discussion.
In the end, the sad fact is that R/Starcraft has become a more positive, inviting place than SC2 general discussion. There is a 153 comment thread celebrating Desrow making it to premier league. The top thread TL is people whining about balance.
Actually, two of the top five are about balance whining.
I think it's indicative of the attitude of a portion of the remaining playerbase in general. SC2 has lost a lot of the casual players, and a significant percentage of the current players are the "wannabe diehard" players. Players who are Silver "just because they don't play enough, should be Diamond", or are in "Platinum Terran but could be High Masters Toss". These people are into Starcraft, but feel entitled to be doing better just because they're on TL and /r/Starcraft.

Bye Zeal! Used to read lots of your stuff before i quit playing sc2.
|
Don't go  CJ will be fine, so as Life and Sora!
|
not posting anymore due to too much negativity is pretty negativ itself and doesnt help at all.
oh well, hopefully you will be back when life wins his next tournament

Isn't this whining about whining? I'm sure more depressed having read this. I think CJ doing badly broke Zealously.
Let's just hope that this thread won't turn into another "save SC2" discussion. :o

you are taking this too seriously zealously. the thing is whining has always been here, it was whining about terran first, then about zerg, now it's time to whine about toss. even though i have to admit it hurts me when people are telling me that my race needs inferior skill, in the end everything i can do about it is laughing. the thing nowadays is quite different though. progamers start to act like no pros, they act like little children and the one person who overstepped his boundaries was sjow, maybe the first progamer who in my opinion doesn't deserve any respect for what he had done. he encouraged fans to act like whiners because he himself changed his race to show that toss is so "EZ" and failed horribly. after that he even stated some excuses why it didn't work. this is the point where you can only look at that and say: "yea, these guys just don't like reality, they don't like being reasonable, they just want to whine, cause that's all they do."
you are a great contributor to this forum and it would be a shame if these people are the reason for missing you in the LR threads. try to not give attention to these people but stay here and be funny please! <3 don't worry be happy is probably my advice, because you can't do anything about people's opinion. you can't change them. hopefully it won't be a long break!

It's being tired of people who dislike SC2 dominating the discussion. General discussion has become a place where people who are just excited about SC2 can't really go to share their enthusiasm. The live report threads are better, but general discussion is kind of a cesspool.

The only time I visit LR threads nowadays is when HerO plays. To tell everyone how well he played or defend him if he loses. Other than that I don't even bother anymore for the exact same reasons. I'm not sure when the LR threads became twitch chat where every second comment is balance whine about protoss and I'm not sure exactly who would enjoy such a thing but I definitely understand why you don't.
Show up on skype more often though yes?

lol you're taking the heat you get way too seriously, it's all jokes m8.

This will be interesting
Hmm, I would have never even thought about this, as I spend about 99% of my time in BW or Sports, and from those areas TL is as good as an internet forum gets.
Unlike what I hear from this post about sc2 section the BW section is the opposite. Even if I lost some interest in the game I would never leave because of the community there. Aside from the occasional close quarters induced drama it's almost 100% postitive, constructive content. Which in my experience is part of why BW fans have such fanatical loyalty and love of the game.

But isn't that also because of a perception that everything is going BW's way now? And the opposite in sc2?
I also think that BW was never patched never opened the door to the kind of balance whining that goes on in sc2. BW does have it's annoying habits, mostly with people trying to start the bw vs sc2 'discussion' in completely stupid and unrelated ways.

zealously just doesn't want to post when he has the: I love Roro sig.
Looking forward to reading the articles you're going to write ^^. Come back soon.

But zealously, every player needs an iconic fan to bring positivity and to glorify their player. Who will fill in the spot for Life now?

not a single reply to 3 pages of comments, good job zealously keep it up

your posts will be missed, they really brightened up my TL experience. Thank you for that.

CosmicSpiral is around, and I can be a pseudo replacement in LR threads.
