There is also the phrase "beneath every joke there lies a spark of truth." I think that you were venting real frustrations in a joking manner. "When I play ladder, my head instant go to shit" doesn't sound like a joke to me

Eh, its a real problem nonetheless. TvP and ZvP are really mapped out for the Terran and Zerg in terms of builds, and there definitely comes a point in terms of your rating when you start running into comatose players who do literally nothing but follow a build order. These games aren't fun at all, and it really tests your ability to either pull off some amazing multitasking/micro or somehow maintain winning chances in a late game that will be harder for you to play than your opponent.

Terran almost never has to go aggressive until they have a deathball, zerg can flood you with cheap units that scale really well with upgrades and never mine out a base, and you're playing a reactive race where you have to make decisions rather than play off of a build scribbled in a notebook like Artosis (bless his heart).

All this been said, if you keep your wits and don't let these guys turn you into a monkey who will inevitably throw the game you can probably find a way to capitalize off of your opponents passive play.

The funny thing is Protoss players can get so far without Psi Storm that they never trained the same "you must be able to use this as if your life depended on it" muscles around PvT Psi Storm as Terran or Zerg do for the hardest to manage parts of their arsenals.

Protoss can legitimately win up to pro level (and even at pro level excepting Flash and maybe 2-4 other Terran players depending on the month) by being able to contain their whole army in hotkeys, and without worrying about stuff like laying mines without self own or accidental siege up at the wrong spot. And Protoss can literally build 20+ Gateways at multiple bases with Dragoon and Zealot even having equal build times to make that part of macro even easier.

Because of all that, instead of having trained with Psi Storm from amateur level, it tends to get incorporated only when needed (e.g. against the very best T in the entire world).

Thus, Protoss players are way worse at using Psi Storm in late game PvT than they should be. Jangbi showed that P can be nearly unstoppable if they train their Psi Storm usage to the extent Terrans practice managing their death ball or Zerg practices managing way more units that can be hotkeyed.

Instead Protoss late game skill consists of moving around a bunch of units that are fast and can all be hotkeyed, plus properly using the ridiculously strong spells of a 350 HP (Arbiter) FLYING unit, plus making sure to have some Observers (an invisible flying unit haha) around.

It's insane that a spell as strong (and even totally tech tree compatible given Arbiters) as Psi Storm isn't even mandatory for every PvT. Does any other race leave something that powerful off the table in half its games just because it might be fragile (as if Shuttle dropping HTs is that fragile composted to how fragile everything is in BW)?
