Totally agree, it's the random player's right to divulge race or not. I honestly do believe the disadvantage of having to learn 9 matchups either outweighs or is even to the advantage we get at the start of the game.... That is unless you cheese 24/7, in which case you are sort of asking for hate >.<

All that said, telling race makes the game more enjoyable for everyone (manner), and gives you the random player better practice in the matchup, so maybe you should consider telling more often

Heyyyy Millionaire i played you when you were doing your placements how you doing back in masters if this is the wrong guy then im sorry rofl

Spook, I can't remember because I have played so many games. My original acc is inactive and I'm playing under Millionaire and Rocco. Both accounts are active. Heha, by telling my race is a good way of practicing and I have no doubt in my ability to play as Zerg Terran or Protoss but As random , I know that most of my Protoss opponents won't forge expand against my Zerg and forge expand into gateway all in is so annoying and there is no clear way to counter even with roach ling n spines.

This made me lol: "Many people think that random players are cheesers which is entirely wrong." then straight away after "I have to admit that I cheese a lot on ladder..."

i dont think the person that asks your race is actualyl expecting you to answer, just trying it out. who knows, you may tell them. questions are free.

I wouldn't trust the answer they give anyway.

Lol I never thought of the 'Chinese' response before, I always answer 'night elf' or something. Shall do that next time!

Ah, see the thing is, no one should believe you their first time playing you. The point is hopefully when you see them again, they'll know that you tell the truth and trust you

Whenever I see a random player I always worry that it's a higher league player doing portrait farming, I've had so so so many of them, they either drop the game or i get smashed. Either way i check their history and report them if they are dropping games.

Edit: Forgot to add I don't think random players are cheesers I enjoy vsin' random.

i usually answer 'korean'

i don't understand why people bother asking... do most random's actually tell them?

EveLoire · Mon, 23rd-Jan-2012, 10:20 AM

Goddamn I thought I hated the Protoss blogger.

ETL.ViTaL · Mon, 23rd-Jan-2012, 5:41 PM

i think this whole thread is really quite random tbh

Agreed with you Millionaire, playing against random force you to begin with an all around build and no super refined builds that gives you advantages you don't really earned with your play.

Playing random and trying to macro is really hard, that advantage of opponent not knowing for the first 2 minutes is really small compared to that.
