If you want to avoid mirrors, veto maps your race favors more and eat the fact you'll have to do non-mirrors on some maps you don't like as much... However I probably wouldn't make this recommendation if you're zerg since I imagine getting steppes and jungle basin would get old pretty fast.

So. You say you lose mirrors almost all the time. So instead of 4% mirror match winrate you chose 0% mirror match winrate. Interesting...

Mirror matchups may be a true test of skill, but I tend to think most people at my rating have better micro and macro than me. So in straight up fights like mirror matchups where everything is fair I tend to lose.


I don't think so. I think, you have to understand the matchup to excel at it. So it's not only about micro and macro (of course, they still play a huge role), but of understanding the races and matchups.

Edit: I mean, look at Stork in BW. He just manhandles terran (well he's on a tear atm anyway) because he understands the matchup so well!

Whats up with all the PvP hate? PvP is easily the best match-up in the entire game, and TvT is just awful to look at, its the only reason I don't play T.

I think you should just do ridiculous all-ins like proxy gate in their base or 6pool with all drones for quick 3 minute games instead of just leaving.
No I'm never serious.

This has got to be a (bad) troll attempt. PvP as the best match up lol...

If you don't like PvP just cannon rush or proxy 2 gate every time.
Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!

Ok I have failed, I'm tired of my rating going to the crapper so I've decided to start playing mirrors again.

I apologize if I have broken any of your hearts.

I actually think the lack of a game lobby in ladder games is the single biggest problem with sc2 nowadays. eliminating race picking, which is essentially what this does, forces you to play matchups you might not like. :'(

I'd definitely be playing zvt zvp and tvz or pvz instead of zvz if it was possible but when 95% of my games are ladder games, it's not.
