I still like the game. But I don't like playing it that much. I feel like I reached the point where I need real dedication to make progress. (master 1 for me) and I don't feel like spending that much time playing sc2 anymore

He doesn't have to deal with adepts, he's got one thing going for him.

And no super warp prism pickup range either.

Honestly most of the time that's not so bad. With DTs it's the absolute worst. But you can still counter prisms with cyclones and well positioned marines and such.

Nerf health/shield not the pick up range would be nice
A good nerf should never be about removing the strength of a unit, but highlight its weakness


Nerfing health/shield weakens the warp prism but also makes it much more coin-flippy (everything just hinges on whether it gets sniped or not).

^^

WP in HotS I believe has the same shield/hp as in LotV. What made it so much stronger is the pickup range and.... maybe there's a speed buff too, I forget.

So how do you mindread them?

I dunno, after a while you get this weird feeling for ladder. Like, the other day I was playing a TvP and I was gonna do a 1-1-1 on New Gettysburg. On that map, you can wall the bridge with 1 depot and then get the buildings on the low ground next to it to make the push faster. But as I started doing that, I had this feeling like "This guy might actually try to proxy gate me" and sure as shit there were 3 gates at my 3rd.

but if you still like the game and think you reached your "low investment ceiling" (for lack of a better way to phrase it) you should still play to have fun

It's more like precognition. Mindreading is easier when you know where they are, but when you're playing someone who could just be anywhere in Europe right now, precognition is more useful.

Also some people's minds are in languages I don't understand.

Ofc.

No adepts, no super warp prisms.

I rather play against adepts than against collossus turtle every game

i beat diamond protoss players in lotv tvp while my TvT is plat at best so cant coplain

i just love the 1-1-1 ... i'm old and slow, my micro is crap and i can't multitask.
only mining from 1 base with so few units on the board i look like boxer with SjoW level banshee micro.

you can have fun playing starcraft without trying to improve. I don't have a lot of time to practice too atm but I still enjoy playing the game.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

of course, but somewhat you can be frustrated with your own play and it can make you quite the game

That's exactly what I do.

it's a bit different for me, I genuinely enjoyed LotV less and less because of various things (adepts, disruptors, liberators, lurkers, the way P has to be played if you want to achieve good results) so I ended up not playing at all anymore. But after two months with like 2 games played I feel like I can find some fun playing the game again, I had a great time this morning although I lost all the games I played.

After much anaysis I can confirm Nerchio is capable of winning against top Terrans when they throw games at him But in all seriousness Nerchio is the best foreign Zerg especially at ZvT. I don't think anyone but Dark could have beaten TY right now.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

People use the same small pool of builds every game.

I actually got shit stomped in a ZvT last week by a guy using the same build as TY in G1 with hellion banshee. I straight up tilted that I was beaten so badly because I didn't scout the banshee and assumed it was a hellbat 2-1-1 variation.

The other 90% of ZvTs though I know what they're gonna do before the game loads.
