If you want to improve, use your head and then use your time better. Maybe you could try listening to people's advice. Talent is what bad people call hard work, determination and practice. You might think you're practicing, but you aren't. You're just playing a game a lot. This. This. You aren't actively trying to improve. You aren't tiring out your brain, getting out of bad habits, and improving upon one single aspect every single game. If you did, you would be Masters in 100/200 games. You are bad, and master players are bad. Pro's? Still make macro and micro mistakes, quite a lot actually. I can get 200/200 at minute 14 whilst pressuring the other player with hellions/drops, can you? | ||

You feel embaressed by losing to platinum players, so you don't watch your replays for mistakes. The proper course of action would be to start feeling embaressed about being in platinum and THEREFORE watch your replays for mistakes so you can improve. Don't buy into the delusion that platinum players are actually really good and that macro doesn't work. It does, you just need to set your standards higher. Calculate your SQ over many ladder games and aim for pro levels. Check your workers at specific points in the game and see what is actually possible. Simplify your game and focus on what matters. I'm not saying you should try to win with masslings/zealots, but instead of using complicated compositions and tons of builds, find 1-2 builds you really like and then perfect them. When I played the most, I was matched against diamonds consistently and I still considered my macro weak. I had better macro than most platinum players, but there was still massive room for improvement. I'm sure you're in the same situation. | ||
