EPTBut I've been noticing myself posting with increasing frequency and vehemence about balance issues and other things, so I'll go ahead and save the mods what little I can in the way of balance whine head aches and just blog about it. Hopefully that catches on.
I play toss, I'm mid diamond, and I returned in the middle of August to starcraft2 after a 10 week hiatus to work at a summer camp. I'm a full time student, employed, and engaged, so as much as my passion for starcraft is known and appreciated (for the most part) by the people in my life, I don't always have as much time and energy to pursue it with as I'd like.
My wins have been fairly consistent after I reacquainted with old practice partners, and for the most part I've been able to take games off the same level of people I could before. But the last couple days the waters have turned murky, and my play has shifted into the realm of sucking, except for PvP, with which I'm getting more confident.
I think balance discussion has gone to my head. I trashed several terrans in a row after doing some RD on counter 111 builds and how to scout for the 111 2 rax discrepancy. Got very comfortable with those, except for some reason today I simply chose not to build a TC and research charge- died to 2 rax pressure that came way too late to be formidable. His emps were trash, but because I was sitting on healthy 0-0-0 upgrades, it didn't matter. Teched to collosus far too late, and did it at the same time as teching to templar, had no gas for archons, and proceeded to lose my third, attacked him while being down a base and having lost a fight.
Magnificent displays of stupidity. But I think it's my mentality, I honestly think I've lost that brief window of confidence in PvT that I experienced because I read tree huggers article and decided the match up was broken even though I know it's not at my level.
Sups pissed. Ready for some practice with T's, need to get my head out of my ass. Patches don't save people from being stupid.
