I think I'm rank 40 now. i just feel like quitting right now, because there doesn't seem to be any changing my play. i keep making the same stupid mistakes over and over again. i dunno, maybe im not meant for this. maybe i just need to go for a walk on the beach, in the sun, drink in those cozy summer nights coming up. either way it will be, as it always has been, an uphill battle against depression for myself. Haahh... I'm like that too. But in plat. TT | ||

Actually, nirvana is something many monks strive for, trying to achieve it for lots and lots of years. Read Siddhartha (though it's a work of fiction). | ||

It's just not my kind of game, it's EXTREMELY complicated, and in such a way that it can't be broken down into smaller problems with individual solutions.In SC2, you come up with a super basic game plan, like... I will expand and then try and have a larger economy than my opponent so I can overwhelm him later. So you just flat-out go for it, and you get bunker rushed. Okay, I guess I have to be aware of that and make sure I build my pool early enough to hold it off. Experiment a bit, after a hatchery first, that's a 15 pool that will hold it off. Cool. Then you keep building your economy and your opponent kills you with a marine/tank push at 11:00. Okay, so I need to be able to make some units around here so I can hold this off. Make pure lings, oh, look, that didn't quite work because he's just got too many marines. I need some splash... banelings? Cool, that works. Etc., you quantize problems and solve them in the context of your already existing plan. In SSFIV (the fighting game I tried) it's just AHHHHHHHH AHH AH AH AHHHH SHIIIIT AHHHHHHHHHH and then someone wins. There are individual problems like how to identify when someone's going to try and grab so you can prepare to counter, and how to effectively dodge projectiles in a way advantageous to your character, but there's something like 30 characters, is 30^2 match ups is 900 match ups possible, and each character has different strengths and weaknesses and different move sets and statistics and don't even get me started on memorizing their supers and ultras and even then each character has two different ultras and UGH. Just not for me. On April 13 2012 22:17 CryMore wrote: Yeah sometimes its like "if I micro this well I can come out way ahead, then I can counter attack and win." Then you sit there and watch your army get surrounded by roaches, lose all your key units, and die. Yeah! Sometimes I find myself in a situation where if I time it JUST right I could make an awesome come back, like running half my lings around some weird route and then attempting to sandwich my opponent's army between the two halves right as he enters creep and before he sieges up. If I time it perfectly so he's not sieged, is on creep, and both halves of the army arrive at the same time, I'll pretty much just win the game. So then I misclick and send half of the army in to commit suicide too early and then panic and try to send in the other half, by which point he's already sieged up and I just kill like, A marine with my entire 200/200 army. That shit hurts. | ||

I could fuckin' do it. I dunno man. Shit. $52k a year for university? That sucks man. Are you in an ivy league school or something? | ||
