Haven't played a single game in 3+ years I believe.
Last time I played was when you could bum rush the fuck out of people with peons right at start of game ftw. lol

Any tips of difficulty of races? (Which ones require the most micromanagement from most to lease?)
Any good guides on macros? I've never used macros before, and to be honest, it's what set me off and made me quit playing because no one
actually wants to just play the game via pressing a button for each individual action. So any links to a macro guide would be nice.
Seeing as everyone macro's cause they are lazy and or don't want to rely on themselves to execute clicks, I assume it's really impossible to just watch people who beat you
and copy them like you used to be able to, seeing as you can't see what macros they are using.
Any good guides in general for the current meta?


NOTE:
I prefer 1v1.
I really like Protoss, but the last time I played, they became the most micromanage race to play.
So I'm pretty open to what ever.

Do you think the starcraft term for "macro" is referring to a button?

I looked into it further.
Yes, I was referring to macros, (IE people binding keys to execute more than one command at a time) and for a while during the second season or w.e way back when, it seemed as if many people were in fact doing shit at inhuman speeds when watching replays.
So I gave up.
Needless to say, I just recently found out that they ban people for doing that as I have become interested again.
More or less, I found a good reddit forum with a very nice guide, with videos etc. etc. to help me properly get back into the game.
As for macromanage, it refers to economy and unit/structure building etc.

I've got a lot to learn this weekend. lol

The "macros" you are referring to were never game breaking. There were a few uses, like spamming infested terran quickly, but they weren't game changing and never resulted in an undeserved win. I've NEVER used things like this and I do fine. Seriously, don't even give this subject another thought because it's a terrible reason to not play sc2.

As far as your other question: at the highest levels, all three races will force you to play as fast as you can. Protoss is probably the easiest to macro with (I'm talking about the traditional starcraft definition of the word macro which you can read here: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Macro) BUT like I said, you're not going to run out of potential actions if you've got the speed. Just play the race that is the most interesting and fun to you. I improved by watching streams and copying people.
