yeah but in other sports there isn't anything called balance, you can't lose the game because of anything beside your own faults, here in starcraft it's possible to blame your loss on it. (theoritically of course, since still it is your own mistakes what makes you lose)




Don't really want to get into sport theory but balance issues exist in all sports, the weight of the baseball, the width of the sideline, rule changes - you name it almost any sport has had struggles with balance issues. This is not unique to starcraft.

/e This still does not excuse his behavior after a loss...

This. Those tgings are totally irrelevant. Wasn't talking about the laws of the game but the means of it. Like putting a metal piece into your gloves when boxing or such unfair stuff.

If you knew anything about sports you would know that the rules change ALL the time, and have done so a myriad of times throughout history.

I do personally think that no one can lose a game of starcraft due to anything other than their own fault, though.

If you genuinely think you're losing because of balance then you just suck, too bad. Get over it.

You can blame all the outside forces that you'd like, but in the end you are just trying to reduce your own cognitive dissonance because you can't overcome the strategic use of pixels

Well dropping a few tears due to losing due to rock paper scissors in a strategy game is kinda acceptable imo.
