Start going for more achievements and all that. I like playing the random Co-op matches vs. AIs. You meet some fun people and because the AIs suck in general, you can try out weird builds and whatnot while also getting achieves.

I mean if you are bored with the game you can just quit playing for a bit until you feel like playing again. If you aren't having fun, take a break and when you get that urge to play sc2 do it. I did this in december, took a month break about then I had the insane urge to play sc2 alot again and walla it still comes to me everyday :D. A month break did me good, just take a break and once you get a huge urge to play sc2 again do it ^^.
When I think of something else, something will go here

none of my friends play anymore, and it feels like i have to force myself to ladder.

suggestions: find friends (IRL if you can) to play with, try switching races, go to LANs or barcraft if there's any near you. MLG is amazing.

I was starting to lose interest about 1 year after the game launched. I now have minimal interest, but this is due to working full-time as a doctor. My interest will be rekindled when HotS releases.

You need to set goals in Sc2 for example getting into higher league and focus on it.
The feeling of getting promoted is unbelievable :D


I also did that. However, I'm master now, so I'm losing interest.


So why you dont focus on this broken GM league ^^?

SC2 should remain interesting if you strive to be the best player possible.

Try out some mini games. For example Squadron TD is awesome.

What I felt like after getting a little bored was to play Brood War/Start getting into mapmaking. When I found both of those my interest got back. And now I've been playing since release and have never been this into it. Platinum Terran in 3 months time and still climbing

Delete the leagues, the division and the ranking.
Keep the association system so you can play against people with the same level as you.

Problem solved , no more ladder fear :
you just play for the fun not to get in an higher league
when you are on losing streak you don't see you rank decreasing like crazy and you don't care that much because that doesn't mean anything
no one make fun of you anymore ( how many times do I see on the Battlenet forum people saying " X is silver , he doesn't understand the game , he is not allowed to talk" )

Just keep GM league for the best players ( these players obviously don't fear the ladder ).It must be demotivating to say "i'm so bad that I can't be diamond / master" but no one really cares about being in the top 200 of Sc2 if you are playing for fun.

just make a little pause? i think there is just to match to watch and maybe you overplayed aswell soo just make a little pause dont watch if you dont want it and soon there will be an event which will catch you again and youll start watching/Playing again. thats how it works for me at least

For me, it is depend on watching tournaments. The games become more und more boring, saw no exciting games yesterday at ipl4 & gathering.
Maybe because i watch/watched sc:bw & wc3 games and sc2 cant follow them.

It would make it more interesting because you don't need to play to win , you play to have fun.
You can do One base Ultralisk , you will lose but you don't care because you don't lose anything else than the game
If you do this now you lose rank/league so you don't do it ( even if you LoO0Oove this strat ) because 1 base ultra is not the best way to win

off-racing, playing tournaments like playhem etc. play differend everyday for example as terran u could do mechday, bioday, airday etc to keep stuff intresting or make fast ninja expand every game. play team games. its seem in every this kind of thread people are bored with laddering not exactly with the game itself. or take a few day/week/month break. my friend is platinum zerg too and he took like 2 month break then he started playing again and has played like 300+ games in a week.

sorry for bad grammar.

You're still assuming that fear of losing its what is holding him back. Thats hardly a given.
