Like, why waste my time making solid tanks lines and defenses when I could just as easily mash A and stim attack-move till I win? Or even if it does go to late game, I'm just left in a trance where I'm just pressing buttons until I win, trying to keep up production at max. Thoughts? | ||

There is games with different game speeds. Some people like it faster and some like it slower. You should pick the game you feel comfortable with. You dont like the speed in a particular game? Doesnt mean there is nobody who likes it how it is. For this reason it comes to you to fix it with either step I enumerated in my first post. | ||

When you are in game, it is just act and react and you do what you know. If you try to make things up in game, you'll just get crushed, at least at the higher levels. | ||

Interestingly there is a good argument that Starcraft 2 is too fast, that units deal too much damage and that consequently battles don't last long enough to allow tactical decisions to sway them. However that isn't really relevant to your question which doesn't really relate to the speed of the game per se, but rather whether the game is too 'mechanical' and not 'strategic' enough. Personally I think there is room at all levels to be strategic. | ||

Same here, it's a game of "build more stuff and a-move", unless you are in the top ten of pro players. I'd really like to do an experiment - sc2 with slow speed, both players always revealed and without supply cap. I expect to see very interesting games. Hell, I'd even sponsor the price pool to get somewhat able players into such a tournament :-) | ||

Yes, but that is not what people want. Many people want the game be slower in terms of pace. SLower game speed is fucked up idea because then you cannot use it when you advance beyond the fast speed. Muscle memory is bad, timings are off, everything is fucked up. WoL has the exact same speed but yet it feels much slower, why is that? because mutas don§t have turboregen, ferrarivacs are slow, no speedy gonzales disco ball destroying mineral lines left and right in few seconds. The game is fast yet it feels much slower compared to LotV ,-) | ||

You can just set the game speed to fast instead of faster and play a custom game like this and see if you enjoy it more. I don't think you will. | ||

imo, it's true there are things that are too fast in SC2, it puts too much emphasis on reflexes and speed, and strategy needs to be more planned in advance not much time to think, or to observe, position, decide, etc. The element of volatility in SC2 is worsened by the speed of it, which increases the luck factor too. | ||

Every time I go back to wc3, it just feels soooo slow. You can just set the game speed to fast instead of faster and play a custom game like this and see if you enjoy it more. I don't think you will. Faster vs. Fast isn't even an option. Unless you want to spend your SC2 time in games vs. AI. Because of the way how custom games are created >< (Also I think the OP is writing about the pacing of the game, not the game speed itself) | ||

In my opinion, Strategy is used in higher or lower degree in every aspect of my life. Some decisions require time and calculations. Others are snap decisions that are based on limited information. If I understand it correctly, you are saying that SC2 is so fast, that you find the amount of strategy less than ideal for your liking. If that is the case, unfortunately, there are not many options... | ||
