Try to look at it from the perspective of any other sport.
It's like asking when will the Red Socks fans stop hating Yankees.
It won't go away and in some ways it's good for the growth of the sport.
IF it does go away, it will be replaced with hating/bashing of something else.
The fact of the matter is that if everyone was cordial, polite, professional and loved each other, it would be quite a bit more boring for spectators.
People love it when a player trash talks or BMs mid game, and when someone does something exceptionally nice or polite, all that happens in the casters mention how nice it is. No one exploded with cheers when Demuslim let Scarlet remake (I know it wasn't streamed, but it wouldn't get any applause from the audience). When Idra doesn't shake hands with someone, OH DAMN IT'S ON NOW!
It's exciting and it's human nature.
I got a bit too serious there, but take it for what it is.Last edit: 2012-04-17 15:53:24 |

lol i thought this was actual 'human race' but as in Starcraft race? Nah that probably wont go away because it is engrained in our roots as a human being watching competition. If you watch any sport, you like one over the other. The only difference really is in other sports you say that their teams are shit, but here you say the other teams (races) are better to pay them out, because you imply it takes less skill to play them.
So im all for it! |

the funny thing about is, that you "haterace" will change everytime, another race will defeat you more often.
So every race was a haterace at one point in time. But when you figure out a new build wich works against them you love to play against the race  |

Playing through a video game you cannot equate your actions to your opponents actions (in an immediate fashion) and this lends to the mindset that whoever is killing you, is doing so easier than you/only your complications are notable.
This shows, already, "I have to micro M/M/M , while charge zealots A move.", stuff like that. It doesn't really mean anything. People just need a way to vent, lol, always gonna be the 'flavor of the month', 'most OP Race', and people who just despise vs.ing whatever.
It helps IMO, harness your raaaage.
And why are people trying to turn this into balance whining? Talking about X is easier than Y, every Race is designed to have its ups and downs and on average they're performance and difficulty is EQUAL. Context also helps when you're arguing about balance.

| I think it can go overboard sometimes and people stop playing a race or people getting angry in real life for it. I think dislike a race is okay but you will always love playing them instead of your mirror match so hate is a strong word I say dislike is better.. |

I play random now, but I used to REALLY hate Terran (In my defence PvT used to be broken as shit due to EMP and 1-1-1). I didn't actively rage at Terrans very often - unless they 1-1-1ed, but I secretly wished all of them ill and sometimes got so pissed off I wouldn't gg.
I also sometimes rage BACK at people of any race. Mostly Zerg when I'm Protoss and they complain about Toss being imba, despite all evidence pointing to this matchup heavily favouring the Zerg - I encounter this more on my SEA Toss account (because it's only in Platinum, carrier-rush will get you demoted a couple of times if that's all you do  ) than on my random account though. |

| I actually like it. It reminds me of sports teams, you have a favorite (your race) then you have a team you hate with a passion |

I think the better baseball analogy -- for this at least -- would be fans of pitching hating power hitters, or fans of "small ball players" hating good defenders. |

Because it's easier to rationalize that the race is overpowered over blaming yourself.

When I balancewhine, I do it because I can't see any possible way in which I can overcome a type of situation, which is the definition of imbalance. When I know I lost because I fucked up, I admit it and gg out.
Also I hate terran, and terran players too, but thats because I dont have a clue what the fuck is going on in that matchup.
I simply am a guy who hates losing.Last edit: 2012-04-17 16:54:17 |
