You should just drop down to bronze and play a different race.
I do that. I play Zerg and only know how to play Zerg since BW. Unit production facilities literally confuse me and rallying all my units is hard because they're not all coming out of place (the hatchery).

Your macro will be slightly better because you know the Day 9 rule of always making probes and pylon or scvs and supply depots, but you wont know any hard-based strategy and everything will be slow for you to enjoy the late-game aspect.

That's why I go into elementary skills and start kicking 4th graders in the face.

Normally I'm not a fan of analogies but this has to be my most favorite analogy ever. :D

You obviously have it all wrong....

Here's the strategy.
1. Buy X amount of guest passes on Ebay ($1-2 bucks each). Then make a new account (7 hours trial) and lose the first 5 placement matches. Then when the next 20 games till it brings you to the appropriate level. Enjoy cheesing, standard play, crazy whatever you want play.

2. Use next guest pass and repeat step 1.

No need to waste time quitting games when you can spend a buck for 7 hours of FUN!

Aren't you his fan because he exerts a frustration you often get with people who disagree or contradict values or logic you behold too highly?

Low self esteem because losing is to scary for someone who has never challenged themselves at anything.

adding more- Losing is incredible important in learning. If you can not take a loss maybe you should not play the game. This is like a high school kid not able to play on varsity and going to go beat up on the 7 year olds in the park.

Quite the contrary.

I started in gold league in season 1, and had coaching to get all my races to top diamond - low masters because I realized that I sucked hard (harder than I do now) and needed to get better because I didn't even know any builds.

Then after getting top diamond, I realized all the hardwork that it would take to move up in the master league, and given my lack of time, there's no reason to try and inevitably fail.

I know Day[9] is amazing for the scene, but come on. The Day9 rule of always making workers? Really?

In the process of quitting ~20 games again, so I'll babysit my thread.

I have fun while winning, aka I enjoy crushing noobs, no let me rephrase, people who are more noob than me with fun and non-standard builds. Obviously it's not for sense of self-accomplishment, because self-accomplishment would equal getting rank #1 in the GM league.

I don't know how to be more clear than that.

You sound like the person that bullies people at school, only because he wants to feel good...

You`re evil, man D:

Dont you find yourself being a bit over-aggressive and antagonistic even if you don't realize that your opinion holds as little value as my own or that your stigma will probably have no effect on the blogger and his intent or actions you dislike and will ultimately just scoff at you because you treat him similarly to another person of a higher degree of disappointment on your behalf; this disappointment being but a restrained nerve of yours to impulsively, demean and insult the person but you thankfully have the forethought to know of the consequences if you exert such mean-spirited behavior and talk that is highly frowned upon within the 10 commandments of TeamLiquid.net and basic moral codes of human interaction and social convention of courtesy?
