Team games feel incomplete and are compared to wc3 just a waste of time as there is no reward at all for a single player when the rest of the team is bad. Just a rush feast on every level. | ||

Either way, on to your question on how to make it more fun. The first thing i'd recommend doing is determining your race 100%. If your currently playing 1 race but haven't tried the others out, or even have a slice of interest, i'd try the new ones out. That should give you some interest, and macro is fairly universal. Each race just needs a few minor adjustments such as hotkeys to macro well. The other thing I'd recommend is just play ladder, and if you start getting bored play customs. | ||

Watch others play, get the chance to play, chat with others while doing so. This gives you a chance to try the three races against familiar opponents--which makes them less scary and stress inducing. I would then play a few 3v3 games and aim to just mass low tier units. Marines, Maruaders, Stalkers, Zealots, etc... It's an easy way to practice your macro because you simply let your allies do the scouting and strategy for you. Be like "I'm going to mass stalkers" and just focus on massing stalkers. When your allies say attack--attack. When your allies need help--help. But put almost all your attention into not getting supply blocked and not forgetting to build units all the while you don't sacrifice the "strategy" part of the game, you simply let someone else do the thinking for a game or two until you feel more comfortable. Here's the thing. Macro and Micro should not be things you need to think about. They should be reflex more than anything. Until you get to this point, it will seem frustrating. So doing customs like the 1v1 Obs games or doing team games allows you the time and the leeway to practice your macro. | ||

You dont have to practice vs computer much because sc2 macro is easier.You can develop macro while laddering. If you just want to have fun i guess play more casual games.Sc2 is not all about fun it is about improvement, competition and perfection. | ||

The game's matchmaking is very good, but things like that have to happen sometimes for people who start to play long after the release. The thing is, while your league stays with you for quite a while, your (hidden) matchmaking rating is very volatile, so you will naturally meet players you can beat in a very short time. You will then play against guys who are learning as well, and you will win some games. You will not only learn the (tedious) macro aspects of the game, but also figure out what unit compositions and tech paths you want to use, a few tricks, some micro as well, and you will probably have fun because the game is very good. Platinum and above represents something like the top 25% players, so picking up this (very competitive) game and expecting to win is ridiculous. You were just unlucky to be placed against guys who've played this game for litterally hundreds of hours. | ||

but if you are not playing zerg i would advice you to switch to more aggressive stuff. and i dont mean cheese. because a big part of your frustration is always about HOW you lose. it feels less painful when you were the active part of the game. if the enemy dictates the game and wins, it will feel as twice as bad. im talking about stuff like 2 rax builds vs Z and P. or if you are protoss stuff like 3 gate pressure into expand vs T. just be active, try to make it YOUR game. it will help at least a bit. | ||

 )If you keep losing, you should soon enough get demoted to lower leagues, right? Something that helped me a bunch when I was "new" and had a really hard time winning games was looking at streams, ESPECIALLY streams where people got coached by pros. You pick up so much from that! Just keep on man! You'll soon get demoted to a proper league, at the same time as your skill will improve, you'll start to balance your w/l rating, and find it more funny = improve even more rapidly. Hang in there, it'll get better! | ||

If you aren't interested in that, stick to team games, custom games, etc., and if you still don't like it, you may just want to choose another game. | ||

As for 1v1 I don't think there is much fun to be had while learning. All I play is 1v1 and by the end of the day I feel like going into baby punching mode, but yet I do it again the next day... i feel exactly like this..i have the most fun in customs with friends, doing ghosts rush etc:> | ||
