 The bigger map pool definitely made it more interesting. | ||

Ladder isn't stressful at all. I've been low masters with zerg and right now I lag really badly but I have no problem chilling doing different builds and races at top plat. | ||

Yes I know nobody cares, I know I won't be missed etc. etc. Just wanted to say that. So, you suddenly thought 'I no longer like this game' and uninstalled it? XD Sure it wasn't a temporary dip, you lost to cheese and thought 'screw it' for a second? ^ I have plenty of times when I really don't feel like playing anymore, but once I do something else for a while I regain energy/motivation to play again and I'll do another ladder session. It's never good to keep playing and playing until you hate the game. :D | ||

And the worst of it, its souless microing/macroing without touch personality because of automations  Still playing but if i somehow won't catch the fun in it ill stop forever, maybe its because of how sc2 zerg works, maybe i should switch to terran, but im discouraged by no possibility of offrace ladder. And im afraid HotS won't answer my questions about gameplay and if it donesn't ill stop caring about sc2. | ||

I get max 9 points when I beat someone my league but I lose 12 points when I lose to someone in the higher league. :/ | ||

A lot of people feel they're 'alone' on the ladder. Without a public chat interface and a sense of community while logged in, it's hard not to. And a consecutive loss streak could send players into a mode of depression. It sounds ridiculous, but it's true. Especially since it's all on display - your skill level, your ranking, who you're playing against, and how many losses/wins you have in your match history. That's another thing. Match history. The pressure to constantly win is always in your face and in a highly competitive community it can be embarrassing to have 9-10 consecutive losses. It makes people give into pressure and and most importantly, it makes the game less fun during times when learning is required. Look at WC3 BNet 1.0's interface. Chat channels, no match history, just a simple display showing your record as each race, and your level. That's all. Nothing too spectacular or in-depth. So perhaps match history should be an option. Hey Blizzard, how hard would it be to add an option such as 'Display Match History' in the options? Not that hard right? Sure, it leaves room for people to get away with cheating, but if you're going to compensate for cheaters, then you're just cheating everyone else in the end. Also, showing the record as each race would be very beneficial for a lot of reasons. I'd really like to know how good I'm playing as Protoss, Terran, Zerg, and Random. It'd be very useful information. There's a lot of unnecessary things on BNet now that I don't care about, and the things I do care about aren't there. It's a sad state, and I feel for most players. I've been Masters, and I've been Diamond. I'm now Diamond because it's just too difficult a game to play casually and stay at the top, and the game shouldn't feel any less fun because of it, but it does. So yeah, uhhh that's all I got.

I think the format of an RTS by its very nature is stressful; multitasking is a harrowing experience, and a few bad moments can watch all your effort go up in smoke. A MOBA is, at least on the surface, less intimidating because you only have to control one unit. Most of my friends play either 2D fighters or rhythm games if they play anything competitively. | ||

And also watching BW can't be compared to watching sc2; there just isn't any thrill in watching sc2 (I rather watch korean commentators talk about BW than 10 000$ sc2 tour) | ||

For me there's nothing greater than winning a close game and just marveling at what I've done, I've managed to do everything correct and I just feel proud of myself for making good decisions and what I've achieved in that game, seeing myself improve is also nice. | ||
