This is an awesome write up! Should be stickied in Sc2 strategy imo

I wonder what it is about humans that make it hard for us to admit our own faults.

what i don't get:

alot of units/abilities/strats are underused with no explaination whatsoever
ex.: nydus worm, warp prism, raven , etc.

and people yell imba all the time

This is exactly why I try to avoid using "overpowered" or "imbalanced". I also think this is really the only way(at least the fastest) to improve, accept your opponent can do x and rather than moan about how easy he has it, try to find a way to deal with it and leave it up to Blizzard to balance the game.

Awesome read, hopefully this advice will eventually sink in.

I hate to use the "it's still new" line but I think it applies here. As the game gets a little older, the posting about it should develop past just how imbalanced things are. People will realize that the game isn't in beta anymore, and realistically it's pretty damn balanced. However long this is going to take is beyond me, but let's hope it's sooner rather than later.

i can't tell you how much i agree with this. i never played BW, but i train MMA which i'm sure you can imagine is a humbling experience itself... so i know what you mean when you say people refuse to accept their inadequecies and blame whatever they can when it comes to SC2. for some crazy reason this doesn't stop me at all from reading all the obvious 'game is wrong, not me' threads and SC2 Strat in general because i learn a bit from the replies sometimes.

i've been really disappointed by how quickly the SC2 community has warped into this incredibly whiny, self-entitled and irrationally arrogant consciousness from early beta, where people were a lot more humble and accepting of the fact that they actually know little to nothing, to now. i don't think i would've even picked up the game if TL was the way it is now when i first found the site and browsed SC2's forums tbh... it's really awful and uncharacteristic of the rest of the site. i'd encourage any attempts to mass purge it

I think the people who respond here are the same people the OP is talking about. But I also think they don't know they're being annoying.

Not that I can say a lot, since I only have 70 posts or so. But I've been on more boards than this one and everywhere it's the same. There are two generations of people (here obviously the bw and the SCII people) who are completely different. The older generation is experienced, wiser. The new generation is wild and possibly annoying. They are younger (literally), so it's not that weird that they haven't come to the understandings that 'there is always someone better than they are'.

I agree with your post, people should look at themselves before whining about the game. Give it some time, maybe they'll soften up. Else you'll just have to live with it, maybe get more people from the bw scene to give the good example (I doubt if they will, but still) or be stricter with the rules. Whining about balance even though there're no balance problems should be punished.

+1 I remember in SC1 people rarely (read as .01%) of the time mentioned balance issues and instead talked about how they could improve. I wish people in SC2 just realized how bad they are, myself included. I am a 1600 Diamond Protoss and I know that my Sc1 ranking of high D+ is still a close approximation of what my macro abilities and strategical understanding are.

you know what, +2 b/c I also like the fact you mention that SC1 taught us about losing, learning, and accepting our faults in an effort to improve. Those lessons actually helped me a lot IRL with school too >_<

Well written, this was needed. I am so tired of the general xyz is imbalanced because I'm not good enough to stop it banter everywhere.
really?

Sexiest post ive seen in a while.

But Overlords and Larva are still OP and need a major nerf because overlord rushes are too strong.

There should be a separate guidelines for the SC2 forum with this in the in very bold text.

Nice read, well done.

this the reason i 100% avoid using "imba" and "op"... if u blame your loss on somethihng you dont have control over, you wont improve. if you blame it on yourself or a mistake you made, that's something that is fixable
