Like day 9 said its..just chemicals..
Well yeah thats true, but if you're a little more observant you should understand that this is true for teamgames too.

But yeah people have mostly already answered the considered answer. People take it personally when loosing in 1vs1, and in team-games you can blame a part of the loss on the teammate, making it less personally.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This game (1v1) isn't really fun unless you put in your all imo. The slippery slope in this game is absurd and frustrating unless you try to play on point throughout the game to prevent from losing to ONE simple mistake. So I won't hit the 1v1 ladder find match button unless I am playing serious. I just cannot "relax" and have fun like other competitive games unless I am in serious mode for SC2.

I hate playing in general unless im really confident in the build(s) i'm going to be using that day.

Typically the more protoss i face the less i enjoy myself as i just can't find any reliable strategy that i can execute well, that isn't countered by standard toss play.

I think my battle micro in TvP just isn't up to scratch, and i do put effort into it, so i end up very frustrated when i watch the rep and the P literally a moved and rolled me over 0_o.

Maintaining the short production cycles of 4 buildings whilst stutter stepping, and trying to target fire with vikings is just damn hard, and it's my micro that suffers the most from it.

In general i enjoy 1v1 though.

If anyone reads this and takes pity on me, and wants to talk me through some good micro techniques vs toss i'd appreciate it

I have never understood why soooooo many people are afraid to play 1v1. I mean what is the worst that can happen? You lose a game.. BIG FKIN DEAL!!!!

I am not here to brag. Im just a lowly gold player.

Starcraft 2 is a GAME. People play for FUN.... Majority of the people are not going to become pro's and make a living of sc2. So why all the fear of playing 1v1??

I just want a opinion from someone who does not play 1's and their reasoning behind it.

If people only enjoy 2's, 3's, 4's then all power to them. But i know for a fact that there are people who want to play 1's but do not beacause of some sort of fear of being on their own in the game.


Where do you get the idea that everyone plays games for fun? It's probably one of the most wrong and inaccurate statements ever said in the realm of online games. Many people play sports for reasons other than fun, and it's the same with games and SC2 (this doesnt mean you cant have fun while playing, but it's not what i'm going for when I hit find match).Some people have a very competitive mindset when it comes to playing a game against another person, or even with themselves, whether it be in basketball or SC2. Some people who are less comfortable with their own abilities usually have trouble hitting the find-game button. For other players who feel the competition is too steep, they choose to "enjoy" teamgames. Some people dont want to improve, and may choose to play team games or avoid 1v1's. It's all something personal, different strokes for different folks. Personality has everything to do with it.

There's been several other threads on the topic that you could've posted this in. It doesn't need its own thread.
