So, those who read the thread up to that point will leave with the opinion that I am, basically, a whining jerk. So, without further ado - copy pasta! Well, I read almost every blog, your last one was a bit disappointing but sure.  It looks like I have stirred up some ill will. Rather than quote everyone I will just summarise my responses. Sure, I guess you have. Gogo! Basically, all of you are at a higher level than me, so what seems blatantly obvious to you probably won't to me. The reason I write blogs is to vent frustration, so I guess you see the worst of me here, but those of you who refer to that ONE line about 1A2A3A etc need to realise that the stigma about protoss exists for a reason. A whole host of people, almost all of which are more skilled than I, some of which have posted in this very thread, have at least considered the possibility protoss is easy. They may say it as a joke, but even jokes have some truth to them. If you read the WHOLE post, as well as the responses I have made to people in this thread, you will see that, outside of that one, shameful instance, I know deep down that my failure against protoss comes down to my failure as a player, not any imbalance on their part. Venting frusturation on TL has its limits, and Protoss 1a2a3a, while it has its truth value, is such an old joke that people are very tired of it. We know Protoss is slightly easier than the other races to learn, has a lot of frusturating easy strategies that annoy Terran and Zerg players. You probably don't fail as a player, just choose your favorite race and eventually Protoss's beginner advantage will be overcome. =) Let me spell it out for everyone. I suck at Starcraft, that is the reason why I am losing. Happy now? Until such a time where I am better (if that ever comes) it is only natural for me to get frustrated and angry, and attempt to blame other things for my losses. Oh, come on. You don't suck at Starcraft, no one on this site does, which is why we're here. Even most D- players are better than the average player, who just plays for fun. PROTOSS IS NOT IMBALANCED! Sure its not, but it still is easier to learn for most people. ^_^ With a clear mind, that is easy enough to say, but when you keep losing to them, as I have been, frustration sets in. I am only human folks - those of you who act like you are holier than thou - as though you have never been BM on icccup, battle.net, or just on the internet in general need to get off your high horse. Sure, what I did wasn't "classy", it wasn't polite and I am not proud of it, but that is how I felt at the time. I would take it back if I could. Haha, I'm not holier and I've been frusturated about games I felt I was the stronger player, and proceeded to lose to annoying protoss tactics. While I've never yelled at another player, I understand how another person would. ^_^ All in all, keep trying! Your last blog post had some truth to it, its mainly just that your thoughts are similar to almost every D-/D/D+ Terran and Zerg out there. People don't really care about your personal struggles against protoss, especially because we've all been there. | ||
