Well I also learned a few fun TvT builds, and learned something about how many tanks you can engage with what. TvT is the only fun match-up anyway, I wish I could restrict it only to that and also toggle chat off so I could just play the game to relax and enjoy. That being said I'm still not completely bored with the game, even after all this time. A better map pool and the ability to toggle chat off permanently would go a long way to make the game fun again. | ||

I dont think there is any such thing as cheese or all-in. Aggressive strategies are a very important part of the game. I have noticed that the idea of cheese does not exist with koreans, and perhaps this is an important part of why they are so good. Well in that case have fun with your ever decreasing group of players. | ||

it's not balance, it's not people doing all-in's(and in fact I'd rather they do MORE 1 base play than long extended macro games...the likelihood of me winning just decreases exponentially the longer it goes on. I'm not a pro, sue me). It's because battle.net is lacking features. If there were more tools built into the game...shared replays, watch-replays together, automated tourneys with spectators a la warcraft 3...just more community stuff...built into the game...that's what would drive the game more than anything else. | ||

Many of you need to go back and realize why you're playing this game, because it seems a lot of you're are hanging around for the wrong reasons and just to complain. psh, its the games fault I suck. jk People only care about winning, and so naturally they become very afraid to lose, and bingo you have what is called ladder anxiety. How do you avoid this ladder anxiety that so many have? Its simple, you stop caring about your skill, and you set small goals for yourself within the game, be satisfied with such goals and ladder will become much more relaxing. Whenever I enter a ladder game, I have a build and a plan, I gain satisfaction from just doing it perfectly, win or lose. Everyone should have their own things that they gain satisfaction from. I really feel ladder anxiety and the problems people have with pressing the find match button, is simply a mindset issue. When all I cared about was winning, SC2 became very stressful, frustrating, and most importantly my skill would plateau. However when I changed my mindset to setting small goals within the game, things in my control, the game was much more relaxing, and I got better a lot faster. gm player, not that it means anything, but even at this level the game can be very stress free. People have to just be willing to change mindset | ||

 I'm an e-engineer. I work from 8:00 till 17:30 (1,5 hour of brake). I'm married and I workout on odd days.... so i played 1 hour on odd days, 2 hours on even days and 4 hours saturday and sunday. I was silver for 1/5 season 3 then suddenly passed to gold, gold season 4 and gold 2/3 of season 5. 2 weeks ago i passed to PLAT. I had just one goal to proove myself for this game: PASS TO PLAT with T. I've reached and i'kow that's my top in proportion of time i wasted on it. Now i just play for fun so i don't need to play a lot. Then after ALL THEESE NERFING TERRAN PATHCES i feel that is time to slow down with nerd rage. | ||

People stop playing because they're not having fun while playing. How hard is it to understand | ||

I just can't enjoy it anymore...I find 1v1 laddering too stressful, ill mannered players too annoying(but i guess one can't help that), and the lack of touch with other people. Too bad, it was supposed to be my favorite game. | ||

Well these games tend to drag on because the other person won't leave but instead has to whine and BM. And c'mon, who wants to hear insults and whining on their spare time? So they cheese you; scout and react, watch the replay and learn from it. Many of you need to go back and realize why you're playing this game, because it seems a lot of you're are hanging around for the wrong reasons and just to complain. It's sort of the same thing as how in SSF4 everybody online plays Ken or Ryu even while there's around 30 characters in the game. It's not that there's anything wrong with doing that, it just gets really old really fast because there's so little variety. Anyway, what's annoying here is you'd like to do some cool strategy or try some composition but the only thing you get to do is cheese defense, win or lose, isn't really what you wanted to do at all. Maybe next game? Nah, still all-in. There's a cool game underneath all this crap, but it's difficult to dig to it - at least on ladder. | ||

2 Lack of social features ( more in http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=308482 ) 3 Its just a theory... but i was always talking with my friend about how hard it would be to win any match in bronze -platinum if terran learned to 3 rack, zergs learned to 6 pool.... etc and everyone would just start going for this easy to execute hard to stop cheeses, so isn't that a possibility ?, i sure wouldn't like playing ladder if i didn't had the mechanics/understanding i have now and people were going for this kind of strategies 1/3-4 games Those are the reasons i believe, a drop from 2.2 mil to 0.7 mil is sad tho, hope blizzard thinks of introducing some noob friendly features to the bronze - diamond range, shows our mmr, give more portraits... etc to fix this. If the community doesn't play you just reach a point where non will be interested in E sport ether. | ||
