I think im losing all sense of enjoyment in this game now. Not b/c i lose, but b/c im not finding the joy of zerg anymore, and i know that to be truly good with one race, you have to stick with it. I want to be good, I want to be the best, but not by being what everyone wants me to be. My friend for example harrasses the crap out of me whenever I want to switch races(I do have a problem with that) And again I find the game enjoyable when I play other races but he doesnt like it, and keeps telling me that my other races suck and that my zerg is good and I should just play Zerg. Truthfully I believe race switching is good, it helps you understand what position the other race is in when you do certain things, and it helps you to take advantage. But most people dont see that in race switching and most people just dont learn that way. I know this didnt make sense but I just had to write down something. Also, the only reason why im in the Hamachi Starleague is to try and find my love of the game again, its helping a bit, knowing im undefeated so far, makes me feel a little better, but I know ill lose eventually, and hopefully when it does happen, Ill understand that its part of the game, and that just b/c i lose a few games doesnt mean I should just stop.

Eh, so the main point is:
How can i increase my interest of the game again? Is raceswitching Ok, or should I just stick with one race?

Im not trying to be a baby or a whiner of any kind, so plz keep it flame free, and thx for reading TL.net .

I think raceswitching is perfectly ok. I myself switched four times (toss -> terran -> toss -> terran -> toss). I think I was in the same position as you and it helped a lot. But you have to understand that it will take some time to reach the same skill level that you had with zerg (I think about 2-4 weeks if you are very active). Or you will never reach the level you reached with zerg. But then you still can go back and you had a fun time with another race which gave you a break and helped you enjoy the game again. I mean the point is its a game. And in our case we play the game to have fun. So if playing another race is more fun for you atm then do it. Or why do you think they developed three races ?

Raceswitch with the purpose of making your Zerg better, like Savior did. He played Terran for awhile to see how they worked, and his Z obviously was much better off for it. That way you get a break from playing Z, but you're also working on your Z at the same time.

They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

When interest is gone it's gone, if you can't find it then it's not findable.
Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!

SO TRUE!!!!!!! I am a firm believer of this, before I even learned that Savior played with OTHER RACES for practice in his progaming leagues

and then:

Also, the only reason why im in the Hamachi Starleague is to try and find my love of the game again, its helping a bit, knowing im undefeated so far, makes me feel a little better, but I know ill lose eventually, and hopefully when it does happen, Ill understand that its part of the game, and that just b/c i lose a few games doesnt mean I should just stop.


Maybe this round? :-) good luck man

race swapping is what still makes the game fun sometimes. i was concentrating on apm and winning with zerg that i got bored of it. it wasn't until after i switched to ran and tried out toss that i found the game more fun. Also, once you learn the fundamentals and what other races do, you can improve naturally and don't worry about apm because it goes up by itself once you get used to it actually i like terran more than zerg now and i used to hate terran, its funny how trying out all the races can make you change your thoughts completely just try it out, i think you will become better if you do.

i'd even say that you can't possibly enjoy the game without race switching a few times

If you're losing interest, just take a break for a bit.

Your hands will be itching to play soon enough.

Remember, Savior never practices ZvT or ZvP. He practices PvZ and TvZ >.<
This could help out your overall game and it will be like learning sc all over again (well, not really).

Just take some time off dude. BW gets stale after a while, but it regains its freshness soon enough.

this reminds me of xanga/myspace and all the other blogs people use to bitch and moan about the tiniest details that dont matter. its a goddamn game. do whatever you do to enjoy it. fuck you friend and slap yourself for posting this. if you are undefeated on hamachi you should know enough that unless your trying to become pro or some shit it doesnt matter if you race switch and crap. we play this for enjoyment, not sponsors in korea -_-;;

Hey, let a sage answer one.

I learned a lot by playing offraces. You know I been pretty uninterested in playing SC myself but when I do, since I'm high, I always pick people a lil worse than me, but good enough to punish me if I slip up bad and play my offraces vs them.

Then, resume to really play Z, but goof off with offraces... of if you ever want someone who will play all MUs with you bo55, you could PM me... lol.

I'll play.

BTW, the last 3 weeks or so, I've probably played more Z and T than I have P but I can tell cuz my PvP dropped like dirt. On the bright side, both my PvZ and PvT have improved. My PvZ is still about as good as a roastbeef watermelon sandwhich. Not very.
