I've gotten pretty good at 1v1 but I just prefer 2v2 so much more. I had some douchebag build absolutely nothing but both of them sent all their pylons to attack me. Obviously when I lifted off and my 2v2 partner came with zerglings they were utterly screwed but it was possibly the stupidest strategy I've ever seen.
On a side note I haven't noticed much of any rushing lately. I had one dude try bunker rush me but that was just fail...and that's more or less all in my last ~15 games.

This made some very interesting reading, because when I first installed SC2 I
actually wondered about the long term effect of being able to record the match
and actually watch the opposition step by step and I am almost sure it can turn
out very repetitive gamers... I mean I actually learned quick what some of my
mistakes/weak points are

I played some more SC2 over the weekend to try and change my mind on the game. Even though winning is awesome, you end up losing a lot easier due to other teamies who simply cannot play and the other side that know how to play TOO well and cheese up the whole match.
There is NO doubt however that this game is flippen repetitive - every match is really basically the same. I've played some Bad Company 2 as well and that is MUCH more varied. I agree it's a different genre, but even comparing the game to something like DotA just shows that SC2 is not very varied in its gameplay at all - Sure it takes a crud-load skill to play well and I give credit to gamers that are in the platinum league and up - but it's NOT an entertaining game in terms of variation - and that's what I want in a multiplayer game.

Why the attitude guys? He doesn't like the game, and that's how he feels about it. I can understand it because I myself am starting to get a bit annoyed with the cheap wins some of these okes get instead of playing a nice, competitive 1v1.
Someone I know also quit SC II because of this, and he was one of the first guys to get this game and love it. It IS really stupid to cheese, but unfortunately that's just how it is and if you don't like it, don't play it, right? That's what Neo wants to do so grant him that.

Well hopefully the balance patch will curb the cheese tactics for a while 
Define cheese? Is teching to thors "cheese"? Is using zerlings early "cheese"? Using chronoboost is "cheese"? So in your opinion what is a competitive game then? There are strategies, and then there are counters. Just because some players are seriously lacking in intellect doesn't make the game stupid or anti competitive or even repetitive.

I don't understand why you're raging? I asked him to quit the game which he clearly doesn't like playing. But instead he keep on going back, doesn't like it, then rages on the forums.
Thats like an ex-smoker, having a cigarette in the smokers section, then complaining how bad it is for everyone.

I'm not raging dude, all I'm saying is let him talk about how he doesn't like it because there may be some people who agree and can discuss it. He also didn't seem to rage at all, seems pretty calm to me. You know, that's what a community is..
LOL @ Roosta with a 147 posts you have not been on these forums long enough to see my raging. Honestly, if I was raging, you'd know about it. I'm simply speaking my mind and giving my opinion on this game - and to further annoy you apparently I've been trying to give the game more than 1 chance and came to the same conclusion. Like I said, it's a nice game - but those who say it's a "fantastic game" simply don't know that other multi-player games exist...and their views are probably just as biased as mine.
Starcraft 2 is exactly like Marmite. You either love it, or hate it. There doesn't seem to be a nice middle-ground in this game.

So you want to turn this into a cock competition now? Gee I'm really sorry that I have to actually work for a living and not spend 8 hours a day reading and posting on forums. Though when I do get a spare moment I do like to read people's opinions. And occasionally I like to post. In fact, I've been here longer than you have. Just look at the 'join date' under your name, big boy.
You say this game is shallow and repetitive, because of all the 'cheese' tactics. That makes no sense, because if there was no cheese, the game would be shallow and repetitive. Now some people catch you off guard, by doing something 'cheesy' and you rage quit? Or you probably one of those players that float off all their buildings and play hide-n-seek?
There is so much 'cheese' in this game, (that you don't know what they're going to hit you with next) and yet you say the game is 'repetitive'? You're talking in circles mate. So which is it? Are you saying there is so much variety in 'cheese' thats its repetitive? Damn, even I'm confused now
I've been playing 1v1's in the bronze league, aka the 'cheese' league and I enjoy every game because I learn something new. I've learnt to deal with 'cheese', just like you probably have learnt to deal with campers in your spawn base (which happens in every single BFBC2 game I've played - how 'original'). Or someone backdooring or item stacking or 'abusing' mechanics in other MP games. In fact cheese, is pretty common in all games.
Go back to mindlessly playing 1 map dota or playing the same maps in BFBC2. In the end of the day, its each to his own. I enjoy SC2, but I dislike DotA. Though, I don't go making attention seeking threads on how rubbish DotA is.
But this is just all my opinion, of course.
