1. Start over: - set yourselve on a losing streak... run sc2 in windowed mode - watch a movie and simultaniously click Find Games in SC2 as soon as you have a match quit it and lose... reapeat that until you are back to bronce - start to play with a new race or random, enjoy doing "speacial tactics" that actualy work because you are playing noobs 2. start playing 3v3 (2vs2 puts to much responsibility on your shoulders, and 4v4 feels too chaotic) 3. buy a second account and use it for cheesing or learning a new race | ||

A friend of mine has quite a similar idea of how "fun" a game is like you. He was a genius playing Cossack 2 (just position and strategy, not much macro or micro). But he sucks so bad at Starcraft 2, reason? He can't macro or micro efficiently. He was good at BW but still placed Bronze in SC2. I told him to practice, which he refused to 1v1 but 3v3. He then got up to Gold 3v3. But then still no fun for him, so he kinda quitted SC2. What I would suggest you is: 1. find partners, real friends would be better than online friends. 2. find an opening that's versartile to do many stuff. I play Protoss and I enjoy opening with 4 gates (even you're not going all-in or hardcore push, just to scare the opponent to play safe) then continue with some other stuff like DT (which is a hell of fun), Mothership 3 gate (HuK's style), and so on. Have fun in your game, but still play safe. Legend: always build probes xD | ||

My advice would be to play to some good music, relax and try to change the way you view the game, maybe take some drugs like some of the previous posters mentioned xD If that doesn't work just play team games, custom games or just watch replays. Or maybe this game just isn't for you, you don't HAVE to like this game. Good luck however you go about it edit: I can beat cheeses, but I hate playing against them. I like to play real matches. The problem is that I can't win any games that go past my opening because I just don't have good macro or multitasking yet. But it's not that I don't want any challenge, it's that the game isn't fun for me. It's even less fun because all of my friends are afraid of Starcraft, so I'm flying solo. haha I agree with you here man, best bet is to thumbs down the small maps or the ones with close spawns. The problem with sc2 ladder is "cheesing" is pretty standard because you can do it and rebound off it pretty easily which is something you couldn't really do in broodwar. I don't know why your friends are afraid of starcraft 2, the (only) thing it does better than broodwar is make it more accessible to the masses imo. | ||

ive never attained 400 apm (more like 150-250 tops tops ever) and i am on two teams (2s,3s) that play at masters level for this reason..(below) playing the game is fun --> i play more because i have fun --> i get way better because i play more Around my 1/3 SC2 tenure, i switched to RANDOM (oh noez!!) for fun, as well as practice learning opposition end of the game, and after around 300 random matches, i finally settled with ZERG (started as TERRAN) and this whole journey thru the races, never actually stopping in protoss, climbing and fighting and making teams, all centered around playing b/c we like to play, is like a self-fueling jet engine. what i mean to say is, if you can let go of thinking of the opponent too much, or your rankins too much, and just focus on the game itself, not only will you improve, but you will have more fun in your success, and learn more from your losses, which arent the end of the world (im just now getting to around 60/40) day[9] <------ godly free advice nonstop (and its funny) streams [gsl tsl homebrew] <------ pros making it happen (WATCH THIS) ---and if i am saying something dirty about someone important, sry--- shokz guide and other guides like that X-->avoid<--X filled with step by step 'cheese plays' like "how to go straight voids in 6m" "11Rax million marine tactic" and seem crap to me EDIT: and as someone said while i was posting, join Looking for Team channel or msg ppl after game who worked well together with you and make sc2 friends list (put it to use rather) | ||

This means I usually have 2-3 matchups I absolutely suck at comparatively, and 2-3 matchups I'm way better at than the skill level I'm placed at. And I sum up my fun with three words: Nukes, Carriers, Nydus. Seriously, the most fun I have is to try to figure out how to make those work as cornerstones of my my standard strategies in all matchups. | ||

Unlike many other games, Starcraft isn't addictive - you'll only get into it if you really really like it. I agree with much of what you said, except the part where Starcraft isn't addictive, I beg to differ on a grand scale  .I suck by any definition (gold player), and get frustrated to the point I would have quit another game. But I CAN'T. ijustcant... I do enjoy the process for the most part. Some people (most) learn best through failure and frustration, and that journey is fun for me. I'm nearly 40 now and the process of learning a young mans game and seeing how I stack up against these young wippersnappers is fun. To the OP: deep breaths man, the game is fun if you let it be. You will always be able to find faults with your game. Analyze those faults when you are in a good frame of mind, not when your on tilt. Be sure to pick out things you do RIGHT too, and don't be too consumed with the negative. But, if you can't have fun with the game, then as Talin wrote, the game may not be for you... | ||

i'm a master player and as the OP i can get quite frustrated when i loose, especially to cheese. So here's a bad advice but i'll give it anyway because it helped me: -Don't say gl hf, don't say gg: to be manner in word does create an expectation to a manner game without cheese. You'll be often disappointed in that matter - if the guy cheese you and win, flame him and tell him he needs to learn to play (even if you need it more than him, it doesn't matter) -if he cheeses you and lose, just laugh at him and flame, you'll enjoy your win even more. -if the game was even and you lose/win, just don't say anything because it's good either way. I used to be manner and i just couldn't play more than 3 game a day, now my limit is up to 10. I use to waste the time of the cheeser as well, like don't leaving the game until my last building is destroyed etc etc. I'm aware it's not the nicest thing to do to other person, but being kind is overrated anyway. Anger management take whatever it takes ! | ||

So thats how the game works, and if you can stick out the MMR balancing phase you will be fine don't worry about it. Then you can enjoy the game by winning games on ladder here and there | ||

We all need to let out our inner troll sometimes(most of you do it on TL.net, but I do it on ladder  ) | ||

There is no recipe for enjoying the game while you suck at it imo. You just have to find it fun, if you don't, then the game is not for you i think... | ||
