Just because it's loud doesn't mean it's the majority.

51% of respondents are against the change. Going off the fact that most of the people voting there would be serious gamers, and the ones who actually benefit from this change wouldn't be the type voting on TL, we can probably assume that less than half of the player base are actually unhappy with the change.

Personally I don't care, it's meaningless data. If it gets more people into playing the game I'm all for it.

Does your IQ drop as your post count increases?
Regardless of WHO complains, or WHO makes petitions, or even WHO signs them, people are unhappy with Blizzards decision. As paying customers, they're entitled to have their own say.
Grouping "forum-goers" together.

As for changing something minute, some users may use X feature, so of course they're more inclined to make a complaint, what are you trying to get at? We should accept changes we dislike on a game we payed for, and take it up the tailpipe?

P.S - I've actually asked a whole bunch of people who are below master league, and the majority (so far) have said they prefer to see the Losses count aswell. My team games that I have played are not in master league, so I cannot view my ratio (which I think was 60%+ in a 2v2 team), so from now on any games in there I wont be able to keep an accurate result, much like others.

No no, you misunderstand me. I'm saying that while it is clear that some people do NOT like the change, them being loud and posting all over the forums does not necessarily mean they reflect the opinions of the majority of the player base. It very well could (and for this situation it is very likely that it does), but lots of posts complaining doesn't always mean the majority of the player base is with them.

In a way, it does represent the community as they're the only people that Blizzard can see who "disagree / agree" with the change.

Like I said, it represents a PART of the community, but not necessarily the WHOLE community.

Basically if blizzard listened to every person posting on the forums who complained about something that they've changed, they wouldn't change anything and we'd be back to patch 1.0, with no progress on balance.

It represents the people that care enough to let Blizzard know of their ideas on the game and how it is balanced. Even if as you say people complaining puts the game behind, when that patch came out, there would be more complaints, and more, and more. They're going to get it right eventually (when they fix Terran's incredible cost efficiency, etc), until then we can only voice our opinions on their forums.
