The SC2 ladder is *extremely* diverse in skill level. Even with the looser matchmaking in beta, you will almost always get a fair fight no matter your own level.

@Lazy DM V: competitive players are having would dissolve entirely, and destroy the longevity of the game as a game people practice, watch videos of, and plan on caring about and having "fun" with for years to come.

@Lazy DM V: The problem with your argument is that while anyone can have your kind of "fun" in Starcraft by simply playing with less competitive people, if the game were changed to make it less reliant on precision and build orders, the kind of "fun" people like Baron87 or other *continued*

I don't want people to stop playing, or not have fun, I just want them to stop trying to shove their fun down everyone's throat. I play casual games too, but I don't think every goddamn game ever made needs to be like that, and I'm definitely not demanding that devs radically alter their series.
TheBaron87

But these guys who claim they "play for fun," as if we're not (clearly we are all self-destructive people playing games because they make us miserable and stressed, am I right?), try to get the games I like dumbed down to their level because they're isn't already enough of their crap to satisfy.

@Lazy DM V: Thanks for making my point. Funny that you don't see the hypocrisy in "noone is supposed to play it for fun."
The difference is I don't go into your games and try to change how they work because I dont think they're fun. If I don't like them I LEAVE THEM ALONE.>>

I'm calling it as I see it: SC is a aged game because it has two game elements - micro and macromanagement and does both badly. C&C along with many others did macro better. Micro has just aged - it was pretty much top there back when it was released.
So go on and have fun. I'll play DoW instead.
Lazy DM V

The long and short: You don't get a monopoly on what's fun or what isn't. Apparently some people don't like that they need to train for several weeks not to get trounced in any online match. Me, I'm just annoyed they changed the balance to Zerg from what I knew, and kept the AI the same. Doomed!

[url=#user_comment_27952]@TheBaron87[/url]: Kid, fun is highly subjective. Winning because you're seconds faster than your opponent at a specific build order might be fun when you're a teenager. Losing because there's only one or two "correct" ways to play and you didn't have a chance to win because of that isn't.
TheBaron87

@Senor Troll: They're only "dirty" because you say so, and getting easy wins by them at high levels is how you reveal balance problems. And I've never seen anyone make a post about losing to a certain OP unit without it being called whining, so whining must be mandatory to improving a game.

that interprets any criticism as being a bm sore loser?
Cheesers find flaws in balance.

If you do, why don't you understand?

You know I'm really starting to think this is some kind of complaint about players ACTUALLY PUSHING THE GAME AND DISCUSSING BALANCE. Are you making fun of noobs who can't win even when they cheese and whine without knowing what they're talking about, or are you one of those "play for fun" scrubs>>

[url=#user_comment_27788]@Merc[/url]: Actually thats a pretty solid strategy. An example of cheese is 4-pooling (not building any drones so you can get zerglings as fast as theoretically possible).
