Always a great read Gheed. I don't know how you have the patience for it, so bravo.
And it's very true, the tutorials that people make in this game aren't for most bronze league players. They all work on the assumption that you know even the simplest of things, which you've definitely proved is not true of all players.
Using personal experience from way back when, I know when I was in bronze league, the main issue was never accepting the blame. It was always something they did, or that X unit is OP or heaven forbid they actually cheesed.
The thing that helped me the most was one of my classmates. He was a diamond zerg at the time (when diamond was the highest league), and he always hated ZvP. So he'd say to me, 'hey play this build'; he'd play protoss for a game, show me the build and what to do, and then we'd do lots of custom 1v1's to practice it while he played zerg. We'd both go over the replays at the same time, and nit-pick what could improve. By far and above, that was the best method for me and happy to say that 5 semi-active seasons later, I'm in high gold, laddering against platinums.
Best advice I can give? Meet someone better than you who's willing to help you. Swallow your pride and you'll be shocked what you'll learn.

After seeing your blog I got matched vs a Bronze in custom and I was like: The Hell, why not? So I SCV rush him, it worked and he got mad and stuff =3.

Oh man this is golden. I love you so much.

Your blogs are awesome
Even though they seem to be railed on sort of a sine wave of melancholy, this one definitely being on the low end apex, they're still a great read.
Also
Poor Billy, genuinely, fuck his life.

These blogs are stupid as fuck.
If MMA smurfed into plat, and played you over and over again, he could ask the same questions:
How come you can't multitask 3 fights, it's not that hard
How come you can't hit basic timings, even a dog can hit timing for dinner
How come you army control is so poor, just put hands on keyboard and hit 1A.
And bragging about retards in heroic dungeons. What a joke.
Grow up kid. Stop "educating" others and just prove yourself.
User was warned for this post

the cc by the ramp got me lol..

These are both hilarious and depressing at the same time. A roller coaster of emotion. 5/5 would read again.

I have a strange feeling this guy is in your match history somewhere, Gheed
Raging over inane matters is always amusing
"you stupid piece of shit bird, why did you shit on my car window. how about i come into your nest and shit on youre kids, THEN WHAT BRUH. gg your shit"
is that really constructive?
why cant people take simple edumentaries at face value
D:
personal trauma i suppose

mmmmmm.... ok i'm kinda over reading all these chat logs of you trying to get a raise out of people who don't know any better.
http://i.imgur.com/prQrc.jpg for example.
especially when you act like you are somehow better then these people.... they are in the bronze league for a reason - why would you be surprised when they suck?
you're a good writer, and all the pictures and neat layout show how high your production value is, but your content is getting stale and repetitive. just my 2 cents.
|
I kinda agree with your "victims". You spend your time trolling bronzies with dumb strategies. Congrats I guess :x
You are like a 2010 E-Tom Green, lol(except without ingenuity, money, fame, or women).

You sound pretty angry.
You're also wrong, because you've confused skill and knowledge in the exact way Gheed sets out - a player can simply not be able to handle that kind of multitask because he lacks skill. There is no way he cannot handle a-moving, it is a simple question of knowing or not knowing.

I really don't see a point or any humor in this. You play in Bronze and are shocked that people are terrible and stupid?
|
on a side note: why do you care if they are "mad" or not? i don't get that with video game kids, the "u mad?" thing. let's for one second analyze this phenomenon:
1. are they actually mad? you have no real way of knowing. they could be laughing, or crying, just typing stuff bored...edly. it's a pure assumption on your part that they are mad.
2. it seems to imply that since they are mad (or rather, since you are telling them that they are mad) and you aren't, that you've won or something. maybe it's because them being mad proves they care more than you...???
3. if they care more than you, then why do you get such glee out of them being mad? in fact, i don't think it's glee so much as spite. and if you are better than them because you said they are mad and may, in fact, be right, are you worse than them because you're spiteful?
4. if you aren't spiteful, or mad, or just trolling (all of which are equal to or worse than being "mad") then why waste your time trying to convince someone that they are mad (usually by repeatedly asking "u mad?" and then giving a logical (lol) reason why they are)?
5. if they are mad, then you're simply stating a fact. nothing too insulting there, other than the intent (i would argue being insulting over a video game is worse than being mad). if they aren't mad, then you're basically saying: "it doesn't matter if you're mad or not, because i got the "better" of you because i am going to believe you are mad." which doesn't seem to make much sense... for a variety of reasons.
meh... seems like simple trolling to me.
edit: maybe it's the "i made you mad, and if not then i made you mad by saying you're mad" idea?? but again, what does that mean? does making someone mad actually mean anything? idk...

There are a lot of people in this thread who really don't get it.

This is incredible, every single time.
The lack of people's adaptability keeps surprising me...
Thank you for the blogs

tbh, i actually don't get it. at all. can you explain it to me?
cause it seems that it's:
They are bronze and bronze is terrible, so I prove that with an experiment to show how stupid and terrible they are. And surprise surprise a lot of them get mad when they are faced with this attitude and lash out. I will then show how much better I am than them in both SC2 playing ability and in real life by taking screenshots and writing a verbose post about how mad I made them and how terrible they are. This implies that I'm intelligent because I am tricking all these people who are terrible and stupid and I'm also witty in how mad I got them. Did I mention how stupid and terrible they are?
am i on the right track here?
|
But this has nothing to do with SC2 playing ability. Nothing except the ability to click on the ground and sit back.
This goes on to look at why people might be stuck in Bronze, and part of it is getting mad, inventing excuses. He's practically optimistic about the people who at least try to learn, but there's a group that simply refuses to do so. Instead, they blame the opponent and get mad.
Which brings us to our last point. Why are you getting mad?
|
How is that unique to bronze?
How is that different from Idra's ragequits and constantly repeating mistakes?
How is that different from the awfulness that is basically the entire foreign SC/2 scene?
|
There's a way to tie a shoelace in one motion.
If i told you hey all you have to do is this one motion, and you will be able to do this, what do you think responses in real life will be like?
Not very different I imagine.
Some people won't care, they don't see why they need to do it.
Some people will be mad that you are showing them something new.
Some people won't be able to do it the first time, even after you show them or tell them it.
