Being sick of the game is different than the game being harder and better than WoL.

But yeah, I was getting real tired of the game, but switching to Zerg helped a lot.

Is it? Widow mine is a stupid no skill unit, hellbats are an op copy of firebats. Mothership core makes it so protoss can just herp derp recall or turn into a cannon. Or if for some reaosn you misplace an anti air unit oracle kills 5+ workers easily. Spore crawlers make it so there's no real point in going mutas in zvz so it's jsut ling/bling into roach/hydra.

I feel with Zerg I actually learn more and play the game rather than just blindly doing a notepad build order for 10 minutes.

You're the first person I've heard say that hots is worse.
There are a bunch of new units that open up different options for each, while also raising the skill cap with all the new micro techniques with the new units.
Strategies are evolving like crazy compared to the dead WoL, standards were pretty much laid out in that game.
Leading to very boing and predictable matches, now there's different and new things.
I predict the next expansion to do the same.

Not to mention all the nice upgrades with bnet, it's just constantly improving.
I'm on my mobile so excuse mistakes.

It's not really raising the skillcap, if anything just keep lowering and adding even more luck to it with how things have turned out.
Strategies aren't really evolving much different than the rate they were in WoL.

The real problem is, the game is just horribly designed for an RTS.

Why do you think this game is horribly designed for an RTS?
