oh that, yeah, I suck now compared to where I used to be.

obviously still better than the regular posters of this forum and tons more, but the more i play the more I realize I'll never be able to reach a point where I dont have a massive chance @ losing to some skill less fuck doing a scripted note pad build.

was funny though, the biggest motivators to keep going was people like idra and stephano being so much better than me, it made me say to myself "if they can do it so I can I" and they both hate the game and are quitting/did quit.

sidenote: stephanos post advancing from group stage #3 interview:0" the game makes me sick right now and I can't stand it"


anyways, yeah, this game is a piece of shit and caters to people who love to flip coins for fun.

i dont even know what youre trying to say tbh

MAN THAT FIGURED OUT NEARLY UNBEATABLE STRATEGIES FOR THE TIME

> WELL HE CANT DO THOSE ANYMORE SO OBVIOUSLY HES GOING TO START LOSING TO BAD PLAYERS DOING SKILL LESS BUILDS AND GO ON TO HATE+QUIT THE GAME

what. yeah I guess thats a good argument.

and that isnt even the point, the point was this game sucks, I never liked it, I bought the game despite hating it, I played the game despite hating it because I saw room for improvement, I kept playing the game because I was good enough to win money and I've been raging at losing to skill less players doing skill less builds the entire time.

the fact that this game allows bad players doing easy things the ability to feel good about themselves, honestly, just eats me alive.

this conversation is frustrating me

1. theres a big difference, one requires you to never have to see my side of the map and still reach korean GM, the other requires game knowledge and solid understanding and macro for 30 minutes

2. i dont give a fucking shit what his strategies were, the point was that I they were always much higher rated than I while I was still struggling to beat shitty players doing shitty builds.

im having the toughest time not to just call you fucking retarded and leave this pointless conversation.

all that needs to be known, is this game is a piece of shit and those that like it are either being paid to play or enjoy flipping coins.

Thinking about getting this, however I never played Starcraft.

Was huge into Warcraft 3, and I was pretty good.

Few questions if someone would be so awesome to answer..

1. Would it be an easy transition? From WC3 - SC2?

2. In WC3 you pretty much played vs a melting pot of people, and sometimes you would end up getting spanked because you got matched with someone who is like 400-30. Is there a ranking system that matches you with people your skill level?

3. Hows the balance?

4. How hard is the learning curve? WC3 it took me about a year to be good...

5. How is the community? I know there's going to be the cocky people who think ( and probably can ) that they can smash everybody in a 1v1.. But are there generally people who don't mind helping you + constructive criticism?

6. Is the game worth it? ( general question )

Sorry for the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, just don't want to regret the purchase

this is how starcraft has worked since starcraft 1 and broodwar, flipping coins and making choices based on likelihood of success with the trends and strategies changing constantly with the maps getting bigger and better for macro games

the brief time in WoL when you could sit behind spine crawlers and get infestor/broodlord and win almost regardless of the circumstances was an anomaly, not the normal starcraft

this isn't your kind of game so stop playing it if it makes you so angry

call me retarded if you will, but nothing is more retarded than playing a game in your free time that you hate so much for three years

this is my final season playing

and that is not as retarded as it sounds, but i dont want to explain it

if someone had told me that starcraft was a game centered around bullshit then I quite simply wouldnt have ever started it in the first place

which is why whenever i end up talking about starcraft irl, I tell people not to even give it a shot due to it sucking massive amounts of genitals.
