Poll: Do you consider your Micro or Macro stronger? (Compared to other players)
(Vote): Macro
(Vote): Micro
the reason i ask this is because like 70% of the people I meet claim to have super strong micro and poor macro compared to other people.
This has led me to suspect people are either overestimating their micro (possibly based on beating micro maps that really aren't extremely difficult) or underestimating their macro??
I just thought it would be interesting to see if thats true or if the distribution would be more 50-50... because in reality half the people have stronger micro than macro compared to other people and half must have stronger macro than their micro... (compared to others)

I think you are right, most people, regardless of whether their macro abilities are, will think that they are better with micro skills. The reason being that you can notice and be in awe of a gosu micro, but for macro...it's just remembering to build the buildings/units (although argumentably more important than micro, it is no where near as exciting as microing)
|
it's easier to focus a group of units full time than control buildings and units at the same time
|
well i guess it varies more on which race im playing, but i'd still say that my micro is stronger
|
im proud of my terran macro although im not known for it 
|
|
|
lol you are right, i think people suck at macroing, so when they loose they blame that, still their oponent had a sucky macro too

having good micro is cooler than having good macro
thus more people claim to be good at microing
I'm also better at micro. 
|
I find my micro and macro to be equally poor ^^ But in theory I think macroing is more difficult than microing because it often demands that you multitask, whereas when microing you can devote a lot of time on a single battle and still be ahead.

i'm captain macro
if i have bad macro in a game
i lose!!
i play macro style
mwahah
|
Micro is easier because it's for a shorter amount of time. Macro is all game, I can't be bothered to actually build stuff all the time.
|
Macro has always been my strong point :O
I hate to see non-flashing command centers, larvaes, idle scvs/drones, money above 1000, buildings with queued units, unorganized buildings etc.
EDIT: Macro is definitely coolest !!

Definatly micro, not that its very good. But i allways forget about my macro while doing something
|
|

i honestly consider my early game micro better then my macro, b/c u know lings and lurks, but late game i get so unorganized, troops flying everywhere, my late game macro is better then my late game micro by far
|
|
|
where is the option for me? "i suck at both equally"
|
i love it when my 3 bases and 12 factories flow perfect
|

Micro, almost equal. It's my strategy that's lacking, I'm just not motivated enough to get good at this game.
|
Undecided - both sucks . Hmmm... I think it's micro because my macro is totally bullshit (but am working on it).

I don't even bother to micro if it's possible ;o
|
im suprised how close this is..i thought it would be a micro landslide :O
|
It depends on the matchup also : I can't vote cauz
My ZvP is better with macro
My ZvZ ZvT is better with micro.
So i can't really say which one i'm stronger... -_-
|
you dont need micro at all to win. any numb skull with good macro just can warp in 20 gates and macro the win. Though i admit having good micro is nice
|
hah i was 35th vote on macro :D 51 to 49% pwn3d n00bs
|
macro definetly, but with certain things i can have good micro like storm/defs/lurks. its the things that require good mouse speed i cant do, like mm vs lurks.
|
I guess micro but not sure at all. When i play micro ums with my friends we all seem kinda even, maybe a slight advantage for me, or even i have lost sometimes. But when its ingame micro, i just own them. Dunno, i seem to be able to micro in-game while producing and re-microing, but it seems its difficult for me to micro 1tank/2goli-vs-2goon/reaver or 15 corsairs vs 6 mutas and 12 scourges in a all-vision environment -_-;
|
Definately micro. Im Terran btw. My micro is pretty good i think but macro needs practice.
|
I've pretty good macro with zerg-though I'm not a zerg user. Something about hatching 3 units at a time helps I suppose.
My Terran and Toss macro simply sucks because I keep having to change hotkeys to make room for units.
|
depends if you're left handed (macro) or right handed (micro). =P
|
|
|
I have a pretty decent zerg macro since i hotkey hatcheries 123456, and units 0987 blackman style (i used to hotkey hatcheries before knowing about blackman, and used the 09 for mutas, so im no copycat )
The bad side is my micro is pretty terrible and y can't flank a clump of tanks even if they unsiege
|
Micro, my Macro is lame 
|
I have my moments with both I believe but considering for the longest time when I was dependant on my macro when I played toss, I guess I could say I am stronger at that. I am getting pretty good with my zerg micro though :O~!
