I don't know what to do anymore, I just hate PvP so much.
Currently top ranked diamond who auto-leaves every PvP that comes up, and thought I wanted to grind up to masters over summer break.
But goodness, I just hate PvP so much. I tried a few games, and it is absolutely abysmal. I fucking hate it. It's god damned retarded.
How is anyone going to build up the anal fortitude to put up with playing PvP for 1/3 of all their games, and to want to be good at it, in order to be masters?
I'm thinking maybe I should switch race to terran, because TvT is something I can actually stand and put up with. but I god damned hate marine marauder and i'd rather die than to use marine marauder.
fuck PvP.

adapt lest you become extinct
|
I hate PvPs as well, so I have decided to prove rush every PvP. So far I am 2/2 wins probe rushing.
|
funnily enough you mirror a lot of my thought processes im top diamond as zerg also, but i leave or cheese almost every single zvz and have started offracing as terran in an effort to avoid the tumult of zvz's i always face on ladder. i'm not switching permanently, but playing terran is really nice b/c i actually enjoy playing all 3 matchups.
|
you might want to try getting some coaching from iNcontroL. i think he plays p, yea?
|
Man this is why I used to racepick in BW. As is though, you just gotta get into it. Once you "get" PvP at a high enough level I'm sure you'll enjoy it much more. Or you could just try to lame the heck out of every Protoss you face. Proxy gates all day homie.

I was high diamond pushing Master then switched to Zerg because of PvP. It literally made me suicidal when I would get 8 PvPs in a row

Ha! Wp!
Anyways, I used to just 2 gate PvP and attack with 3 zealots and 10 probes while rallying more zealots. You win or lose pretty bloody fast so that was nice.

I'd watch WhiteRa's and MaNa's streams; they both seem pretty solid in PvP from what I see.
Or do what Bibbit said. 2 gate so it ends fast.
|
Try going for pheonixes, it is way more fun than anything else I've tried. I think the matchup has gotten a lot better since the patch, at least you can do things other than 4 gate, unless it's delta quadrant, scrap station, or tal'darim altar

every PvP i get, i'd just leave my game running and turn on utorrent full blast and lag the shit out of the game, but for some reason, i don't get a "disconnect" box opening up. then i just watch youtube or something with it in the background.
after 10 minutes, i come back. either they left the game already, or they just wasted 10 minutes of their life to realize that i have not done anything the whole game.

I'm sorry, but this is just a counter-productive thing to do. Not only are you being an asshole, but also you're wasting your time and your opponents time.
PvP is a part of the race, play it or don't play P at all.
On the other hand, if you need to improve, I'd suggest at least learning a great deal of PvP builds then mass practicing or getting some coaching on it. There's no way you can get better by just avoiding it. And if you don't care because you're just playing purely for fun, then it doesn't even matter if you're in masters does it?

why do you hate it so much?
|
One of the main reasons I play random is PvP. Win or lose I hate playing it. I am roughly 50% on it on the ladder. I have been thinking of leaving the game I get PvP.
I don't have fun when I win PvP. I don't have fun when I lose PvP.
I've been tempted to leave the game everytime I roll up Protoss against a Protoss on the ladder. Fortunately, PvPs don't last too long. My only hope is that Blizzard realizes the Protoss changes weren't enough to make PvP and take further action in the future. What the action may be? I don't know. I don't have any good ideas. But I hope Blizzard comes up with something that somehow makes PvP fun.
*EDIT* I hate PvP because it feels more like League of Legends than Starcraft. In ZvZ, I have lots of units and I run them around in circles and with Overlords I can see what the opponent is doing very easily. In PvP I have few units and don't easily see what my opponent is doing. Generally it comes down to 1 battle where I have to micro a small number of units furiously. It doesn't feel like Starcraft as much as it feels like Defense of the Ancients or League of Legends.

Why not switch to zerg if you hate PvP and marine/marauders? Zerg too hard for you? Or you could switch to terran and use tanks as a substitute for marauders, so your hatred would cut in half (you can't not use marines ofc).

Switch to Terran and play mech every matchup! :D Kinda works.

ya, i used to do that. but going mech every game is not solid play, and tapers out around high diamond. that style of play will not make it to masters level.

goody seems to win with mech on the international level so idk what you're talking about

PvP was one of the main reasons I switched race as well, I just ended up 4gating every game or defending against cannons rushes the whole time. I'm afriad you will have to grind out those games to get into masters
