Just a random thought before going to sleep. I've seen sooooo many blogs on TL about 'progamer-wannabes' and stuff going "hi i'm diamond/masters/blah blah" and "slumping", "elo drop", "fallen in rank/out of division" and then setting goals like "play a gazillion games and hit top 20 GM".
So my question is, do you guys play SC2 because:
Poll: Reason for playing SC2Because it's fun (71) 49% Improving yourself (42) 29% Mixed (13) 9% Others (specify) (11) 8% For the sake of rankings (8) 6% 145 total votes Your vote: Reason for playing SC2 (Vote): Improving yourself
(Vote): For the sake of rankings
(Vote): Because it's fun
(Vote): Mixed
(Vote): Others (specify)
the polls are anonymous (unless you decide to post! :p) so be honest about them!

Mostly because I wanted to be part of something competitive, fun, and famous. Didn't really work out though.

Not really a contributing comment...
But I am not playing anymore either!

Played the game till masters, got bored of it and switched to BW. Now a days i just play random 4v4 with my brother. 4v4 is relaxing since you can just derp around all game long as oppose to 1v1
|
It is more along these lines:
"To remind myself I suck"
|
It's fun for what it is. Not as fun as BW, but still fun to play.
Also kona, check PM please.
|
I only play customs or 4v4 once in awhile , I dropped 1v1s long time ago because I wasn't enjoying it much but I still follow big tournaments as MLG or GSL. I went back to bw 1v1 but don't play often either because I got no time T.T

I'm glad to see there are no votes for Rankings...yet.

Stopped playing. Nowhere near as fun as BW 
...trying out dota 2 as of now...
|
Other:
I like to spend some time with my friends from broodwar that play sc2. So we play and chat. I do really enjoy sc2 UMS maps (I like very few, but those that i do like, i like even more than broodwar UMS, in im generally more a broodwar fan than a sc2 fan :D).
|
Before I can start playing SCII, I need to figure out how I'm supposed to collect resources to build units. The system is so unintuitive...
On another note, I have no idea what those shiny blue rocks are for. You know, the ones that are all over every map. Is it some strange, universal form of aesthetics?
|
Because it was the hot shit when it came out and my friends were into it. But laddering and playing got too stressful and time consuming.
|
I mainly play it for fun. But remember fun has different definitions, we all have our own ways of having fun when playing SC2. The fun I get is from the process of improving myself. I'll have bad games, and I'll say to myself, "Oh darn I messed up." But if I mess up but do relatively well in other aspects of the game before that then I'm satisfied.
|
i enjoy learning and improving in all areas, so both fun and to get better.
but mostly cause i don't think i'll ever be decent at BW!
|
While SC2 is a lot of fun, the fun stems mostly from the thrill I get from playing 1v1 in a competitive situation. And the best way to play competitively is to focus on making yourself a better player, so I picked "Improving myself".
|
For the sake of beating all those ambitious nerd-kiddos who think they are gonna be gosu next season with the most gimmicky shit play i can come up with.
|
I generally derive what many consider to be "fun" from winning, I don't enjoy taking part, nor the losing, but the good feel i get from the win is more than the feeling of being annoyed i get from the loss so I just keep playing. Getting to be better than friends that also play the game really does help my cause too :p.
