I'm done with Starcraft 2.

The reasons you don't play against SA guys often is quite simple.

1. In comparison to the international pool of players, the SA pool of players is extremely small.
2. That pool of players is made even smaller when the game looks for evenly matched players.
3. That pool is made non-existent when trying to find an available SA player that meets the criteria of no 2. at the time your looking for a game.
 
irc works and all but chat channels would be way more awesome.

be much easier to find practice partners and such, and to just jump into games with people if it was all integrated into the system
 
Ok, just resurrecting this thread to vent my EXTREME frustration with this game at the moment. This is how I feel:

OMF%$!!!!!!!!!!! Just lost 8 games in a row! Then I get to play and the match screen says I'm "slightly favoured" and the guy owns me exceptionally hard. Seriously, F@#$ this game!! How frustrated can you get?! Right now I don't feel like playing this game- ever again!

It just feels like now matter how much you play, you just don't get better! Even against "noobs" like me! F@*#&!!

In this one game I'm actually winning. The guy tries to build photon cannons in my base and I move all my buildings down the ramp, start a new base and kill all the units he builds in my base, wave after fscking wave. Then he counter attacks with quite a big force, and I kill that too. By now I thought I would have him in a tough spot since he spent all his resources on Immortals and all kinds of crap spawning from my old base, which I held back. So I decide to build up a small force to wipe him out since I don't have a lot of units left. IN COMES THREE FSCKING VOID RAYS and kills ALL my sh@tand I can't DO sh@t. Holy crap this game pisses me off!

I found this on another forum:

I played SC1 many years ago as a casual player, and had an awesome time. The past couple days, I’ve played a few dozen games of SC2 on a friend’s account, and got roflstomped over and over. Maybe it’s because while I dropped SC1… 10 years ago, these uber players latched on to it like rats to a bit of moldy cheese.
In short, SC2 multiplayer has been a completely awful experience for me as a casual gamer, and I have no plans at all to continue playing.

I know how you feel. Last week I played one day and won 4 games in a row with a new build that I'd spent hours practising. Then a few days later I played again and lost 4 games in a row.

I haven't played any league games since then, I'm "taking a break" from league altogether until I get some confidence back. Right now I'm having an absolute blast playing custom maps with friends, alternating between Nexus Wars and Income Wars. Go check them out, if you haven't already. It's so easy just to join a game and jump in and they fill up fast, although there's a bit of a problem with Nexus Wars in that I've had quite a number of games where one person leaves early, you can't really win if a teammate does that, ALTHOUGH WE DID TODAY. Some EPIC contests.

And don't give up on SC2 league. Just go back to the drawing board, take a break, and then return to the fray.

Bah! All this raging over nothing. Accept you aren't any good and then everything will far easier. I did this 7 years ago and haven't played RTS games since. Which is why, incidentally, I'm holding out on my purchase of SC2. When it drops significantly in price and the mods/maps have matured a bit - then I'll get it. The best part of Warcraft 3 was the maps (variety, genre, fun factor and casual friendliness).
 
Completely agree with the OP and a lot of other posters. The super nigelness of this game just doesnt grab me. What if I dont want to rush or be rushed? Oh right I shouldnt be playing SC2, I get it.

SC2 is all about rushes of some kind, thats all there is too it. What can I surprise the player with and end the game in 5 minutes? Sorry, not worth the R500 I paid.

Yeah, you're right. I actually laughed this morning thinking back of how extremely angry I was last night, geez I felt like I could wrestle a lion, haha! :D This game is very, very frustrating. I just hope that it's rewarding when you start getting a bit better because right now it's really just a huge ball ache.

But thanks dude, will go check those custom games out. I've played a few survival RPG custom games and it was really fun! :)

Lol dude, I did. Was raging like a bul for about 15 minutes but then I forgot about it. Woke up this morning lus to play again. This game is evil, I'm telling you.
 
I am also just finishing the iGame comp this month for SC2 and then giving this away to a friend (enemy)......

Must say, for me this is the worst game i have ever bought (ok 2nd worst after BC2) mostly due to the fact that i cant play this game.

Which is why I will buy it much later and for completely different reasons. :D
 
Played 7 1v1 league games last night, and got cheesed in all 7. Managed to win 3, but damn, don't these guys know any other way to play??? Zergling rushes I'm always expecting, but damn photon canons in my own base makes me want to kick my dog.

** No dogs were harmed during the typing of this rage post **
 
All I can say is I'm very glad it's not just me that feels that way. I kinda expected people to start tuning me "HAHAA you noob!" or something, but I'm not alone :)

If tonight goes like last night (8 consecutive losses) .. Omg I think I'll rage something terrible. I'm actually too scared to go play this game now because I know the hulk is gunna come out. It's really hard to keep your composure after 8 consecutive losses. After about game #5 I start becoming quiet and when the people say "HI! Gl hf :))" I just don't respond because of epic bleakness.

Maybe I'll start a SCII rage thread later tonight.
