people seem to have this concieved perception of what ladder is and how it should be played. You complain that there's not enough creativity in the game, as if it's the games fault that you can't do crazy shit. No one is stopping you from trying out crazy things and having fun with it. Rank doesn't mean anything unless you put meaning into it. Focus on yourself and what you want to accomplish. If your goal is to go pro, then sure by all means try to play as close to perfect as possible. But if your goal is just to have fun and try to get a bit better at the game just have fun with it. Try creating your own builds, timings, all-ins. Try to make a valid BC rush build, go experiment with nydus network. I completely understand if you don't find starcraft 2 ladder entertaining, but I feel a lot of reasons given in this thread are very wierd and are based on the notion that mmr and rank actually matters. It doesn't! Play for yourself and your own enjoyment and you might find ladder more fun. Also, try to make friends when you can. It's possible even if it is hard... | ||

SC2 has helped my Anxiety IMMENSELY. Their is only two outcomes (not counting the rare tie). Once you learn to accept a loss and learn from your mistakes the stress goes away. | ||

SC2 is just not a great game. I know it's exploded esports in the west and i LOVE it for that. You can't buy the attraction esports has gotten since SC2 has released. However, I feel as though sc2 is being shoved down our throats. After 2 years and little to no improvement to the UI or the gameplay, I think now that the hype has subsided it's just not nearly as interesting or engaging as broodwar, or any 'good' game. I don't think the units are as interesting or the gameplay is as deep or exciting and it really hurts the spectacle of watching or playing the game. The game is simply more boring. The strategy, the micro, the unit interactions it's just not as good. It's the game we have and the game that's 'carrying' esports, but it's not the game we deserve. We deserve something much better. I think SC2 would have been so much better if they just cleaned up the UI, kept the BW units and maybe added small, user friendly features like auto mine, or maybe even MBS, and unlimited selection slots. I hope HOTS brings something major because as much as I try, I just get bored with SC2. I didn't get bored of broodwar or even war3. Dota 2 to dota 1, is what SC2 should have been to BW. | ||

The gameplay is a huge problem as well. I dislike the whole hard counter system it has with the units. Makes blind countering really dumb and it forces strict unit compositions most of the time. This leads to frustrating losses on my end. Just lacks spark imo. I can't even focus on improving as a player since all I am doing really is stopping these stupid fucking allins all the time. I am too busy having to get good at stopping all these allins instead of improving as a player. | ||

My thoughts exactly. It was new and shiny but after time I started missing that thing I fell in love with so long ago. | ||

The game itself is not as fun as it could have been. Hard counter style of unit is just bad design imo. Oh you made vikings to kill his collosus and suceeded. Great. But now he is going more templar zealot heavy and your vikings are useless agaisnt 3/3 chargelot of glory. Those kind of things and the deathball mechanic are just no fun. Kinda makes me sad.  | ||

Sometimes i get bored and sometimes i come back ... and this happens to thousands of players and this is nothing strange and nothing to worry about. IMHO. | ||

(after 18 month circa from release) Sometimes i get bored and sometimes i come back ... and this happens to thousands of players and this is nothing strange and nothing to worry about. IMHO. It feels like "nobody" because we are all divided into 5 different servers, time zones and auto-MM with hidden MMR without cross region play. Oh and lobby chat channels, clan support etc etc. | ||
