Why should I gl hf and gg when I know I'm working harder than my Z and P opponents in a macro game? Even if I win these macro games, I still get insulted b/c T is still the poster child for imbalance and pple still believe T is an ez mode race like its steppes of war in 2010. I still get blamed b/c other Terrans cheese or 111, even tho I never do. Its fun reading upcoming patches to see my race is getting nerfed EVERY patch, and that the maps keep getting larger (daybreak for ex, which is poorly favored for T). I think I now understand what it feels like for a black or gay person to grow up in the 1960/1970s. Half the pple who gl hf will rage at the end if they lose, so it loses its meaning when u know they are gonna bm u if they lose and try to act like their part of some country club if they win. I don't give cheesy Terrans my respect b/c they are executing easier to perform strategies than it is to hold in TvT, like tank rushes, 111 quick med drop, or naked banshee harass on shattered temple b/c the map is freaking broken for it if u dont go 111 yourself. They are also the same douchy Terrans who 111/cheese Z and P, which these Z/P directly backlash at me when I play them. I'm one of the few that will openly admit I rage too, which will probably get no respect either. Calmer pple will have no problem posting, but ragers will either lie to themselves or not post at all. I can't wait for the day when Z/P/T stop all cheesy T strategies and all the fake Terrans ragequit from the game, so everyone can truly see how tough it is. Anyone who disagrees with me should try to get to masters as macro Terran, or see some of my replays If necessary. Inactive players, low league players, and many times even Z and P in masters, have no FREAKING idea what they are talking about in comparison to my level. | ||

The question itself is bogus too.. its not sc2 itself, its competetion and the nature of games being so intricate and that you can lose or messup so 'easily' but that's what makes it all the more rewarding when everything goes right. It will be hard to bare a loss or let down in any avenue of life when you put it in real work or thought. Is this question fair... Do you hate starcraft or do you despise starcraft... So loaded Bah.. people need to realize its a game, if you're not having fun that's your fault. If you have fun raging then great. Ps when I lose I either laugh or I just click find match | ||

There is nothing about this game that is fun. I stopped playing towards the end of season 6 and a few weeks ago I tried playing again and was 6 pooled. I held the 6 pool and then he roach ling all-inned me and during the engage built a Nydus in my base for reinforcements.... Wow was I angry, not at myself, but I sure didn't break anything or was unable to control myslf. Then last night I tried playing again for the first time in three weeks and I played three games. The first game I thought I was getting 1-1-1ed but it was actually just 6 or 7 banshees with PDD to cover for them... Then the next game I was proxy hatched and because I haven't played in a few weeks I was slow to reacting to it and lost. Then I queued a game as Zerg and was proxy 2 gated. After holding the proxy 2 gate my opponent built a shitload of cannons, turtled and built like 15 void rays. Playing this game is an absolutely miserable experience. I get mad when I play but it's not at myself. I don't even know if I get mad at my opponents, it's just how terribly designed this game is. | ||

As of late I have had the pleasure to meet some people on ladder who actually agreed to look through the replay so we both looked at it and told each other things from our perspective and where we think the game was decided. That's a really cool way of dealing with a win/loss and adding meaning to it. Meaning and analysis which inherently makes both of the involved parties better. If only all games would pan out like this. | ||

I'm still surprised at the absurd number of people calling others racial slurs and horrible names; it's almost as bad as my classmates selling air jordans. EDIT: sexy 200th post. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + IDGAF (I dont give a fuck) ladders is just for fun, i aint going pro this game is just a brain stimulating game. Most of the time i will congratulate somebody like " Hey man nice Phoenix play in PvP, its always fun when people do something other than 4 gate" Or "Wow those where some sick drops in my main GG WP" But i still do feel some resentment after some games but i will usually laugh it off and continue laddering | ||

You're getting angry because you lost a bunch of games after being rusty; then you blame it on design flaws. Does not compute. | ||

Occasionally I'll get frustrated when I think that I played well but lose anyway, but more often than not I know exactly why I lost and hence there is no reason to get angry. I am a engineering student, I don't really have that much time to dedicate to the game, so I just attribute my losses to the that fact and be done with it. | ||

SC just makes me sigh more than anything. If a friend is being an annoying player on purpose then I get irritated with him over Skype, but no real rage. I don't really rage out at Video Games anymore like I used to, but that was due to a deeper psychological issue that I resolved. | ||
