i didnt see the point in buying the expansion cuz due to the past expansion shelf life for this game is rather short. and i wasnt to impressed with the new terran units so why bother spending money?

I kinda have to set time certain times of the week to keep going. Starcraft isn't the game I can like, come home from work and just ladder, its kinda like a special set of hours I have to cram, since I can't stand it when I have fear/pressures from work affecting my gameplay and performance.

Even though I marked never on when I play StarCraft (nowadays, at least), SC2 is the only esport I watch.

I'll occasionally play a couple games. I mostly just watch though.

Haven't played since BL Infestors days, bought HoTS for story, didn't buy LotV. I watch a few tournaments a year when I come accros them. But I got very attached to TeamLiquid, might be the last decent forum out there, so I kinda follow the scene from that and reddit.

I still can't believe I have over 10 000 messages posted over the 3 or so years I was hardcore into this game. Seems crazy.

I'm in the same boat. Wings was fun, HotS played through the story but multiplayer felt burnt-out and didn't even buy LotV, just watched cinematics on youtube..
But I still really enjoyed watching Dreamhack and seeing Taeja win. Also watch those "top 10 games of the year" comps that you guys make for the site.
As far as watching and playing goes I switched over to Dota2 as soon as it hit the buy-in during closed beta. Best 20$ I ever spent.

I used to play a ton of 2v2. Some time during HOTS, Dota2 took over almost completely and I pretty much stopped playing SC2. I bought LOTV out of love for the game and in hopes that it would rekindle my motivation. It didn't and after playing 3 missions of the single player campaign, I never touched it again. Until the other day, when I played a few games of archon mode with my old 2v2 partner. It was ok, but Dota is just much more relaxed.

I used to play a lot. Since dabbling with LotV a week after release I haven't played a single game. I feel the game is completely stale and many of the balance changes were reactionary alterations that ultimately ensured the game (read: each race) is only played effectively in one or two styles. For example, when I was last playing Terran was primarily bio all game, every game, and every match up.

Things may be different now but years of stagnant gameplay at pro and amateur levels killed my desire to play.

Speaking just for me, I haven't played online SC for years, I only go through the single player content once nowadays. But I do follow the pro scene fairly closely, so that's why I come here mostly. I also visit the hots forums and articles, as they are, because I do play that with friends.

Tbh after I got Diamond I just quit all together. Can't bother to get master cause it's no fun. Now I just watch some streams & vods here and there.

I only play arcade now. Mostly Desert Strike Legacy, but I never play with the developer atrix that put cheats into his map specifically for 4 accounts(including his own) to have extra minerals, booms, etc., or just to flat out win the game with a single command.

I also play The Thing -Arctic- and some Phantom .

I miss BW's Mafia Beta

my passion died around the end of hots. i mean blizzard changed the WCS 3 years in a row and i was done caring. i use to watch so much of the korean scene and all the weekend tourneys. but i guess blizzard tried to do a riot play but just sorta took all the fun away. not enough events in NA, not enough korean SC and just not enough clear direction. then lotv took away the early game. ive been uninterested since.

I'm definitely play every day if I'm not too hung over or sick. Passion is stronger than ever.

Interesting poll results, never the less.

Haven't touched starcraft in almost 6 month now. Was a huge nerd 5-6 years ago, followed the esports scene very closely. Played the most in 2011, then i found broodwar and got to enjoy the last proleague/starleague.

Tried to like Legacy/played a lot at some point, well archon mode and co op but didn´t keep me interested for long.
I fully stopped watching sc2 on twitch (other then gsl final). I plan to watch all the asl broodwar league stuff, really enjoyed Sundays games.

this thread is becoming like Legacy of the Whine... guys.. yes, you will eventually grow out of gaming. But please stop transferring the already omnipresent opinion that "everything new is crap" into the gaming world. THANKS.

behaving like you can show blizzard by not gaming anymore xDD
