Stop playing or alternatively pick up BW again.

Or Wc3.

WC3 was good.

Honestly, I used to say the same but in my opinion Sc2 is so badly designed I just feel it's a waste of time for me. I gave it 2 expansions but they haven't improved the game much.

Again... just my opinion...

Its unclear. Timeframe indicates you mean bw, but u mention sc2 being a bad game. What those two things have in common ?
[edit]
Do you mean sc franchise as a whole ?

I quit SC2 a few months into HotS, I've been shitposting ever since. Quitting SC2 is nothing to be proud of.

I never cared for SC2. I gave it a very good thorough chance when it came out, and it really just didn't feel like a good game. I can see why newcomers like it - it has a lot of the features that made Starcraft 1 such an enjoyable game. But after being a BW fan for a pretty long time, it feels like a watered-down version of the original.

So BW or bust for me.

Nothing to do with being proud. Just that Starcraft has been a huge part of my life.

I stopped playing SC2 years ago but I still watch a ton of it as well as BW, moreover I recently came back to play on ICCup as well. So... nah, you cannot leave Starcraft I'm afraid.
