Starcraft 2

>enjoyed the story
>now feels like a drag to go through HotS and LotV
>don't remember enough about WoL

There's so many things keeping me from enjoying this.

>Plat level
Focus only on your macro till you reach masters, dont bother trying to micro units before you never miss and inject and your minerals go up above 500

I enjoyed WoL. Can't be bothered to play the latest xpac even though I bought it. I didn't like the new strat for protoss being able to snipe mineral line so easily early on with early flying units.

Wol was fun but HotS and LoV were not, you miss nothing

Oracles are paper thin mate

Yea, fuck oracles. Meh.

They do literally nothing

picked up sc2 a while ago after remembing how much i loved it when i was a little kid in middleschool. hit diamond 1 in a week doing nothing but 1 base all-ins on protoss.

Stick to 1 base all ins and cheese strats. Focus on perfect micro. Then once you start nailing it move your way up to 2 base all ins, so that you can feel comfortable picking between going in o n 1 base or waiting for 2 bases after scouting. Then move your way up to 3 base all ins ect. ect.

One thing I've been wondering about, can you stack injects indefinetely? Say I miss 4 injects in a row and I inject 4 times in a row will it spawn larvae 4 times in a row?
Also I'm assuming inject energy cost lines up perfectly with the time it takes for larvae to spawn so being even one second out of sync will be missed production, right?

Currently grinding up prestige on Stukov because i enjoy the bunker spam play style. Any other co-op commander prestige worth playing for? Raynor seems good as i like bio ball

>Say I miss 4 injects in a row and I inject 4 times in a row will it spawn larvae 4 times in a row?
Yes but each hive has larva limit
>Also I'm assuming inject energy cost lines up perfectly with the time it takes for larvae to spawn so being even one second out of sync will be missed production, right
Yeah queens have like 26 or 27 energy by the time it takes inject to finish. The biggest damage of missing injections is the economical damage you do to yourself due to the exponential nature of drones

Everyone ignore this guy, this is not how you learn how to play

I like strategy games but Im not autistic enough to have a high APM to be competitive online. will i be fucked in SC2

You can get to 1% of players with 50 apm

That sounds all good in theory, but ladder is mostly about learning to deflect 100 different flavours of cheese. Not getting supply blocked doesn't really matter if you don't realize you are getting allinned in time.
Is actually legit advice, regardless of all the macredditor seething.

>Is it worth getting into this as a casual who just wants to have some matches online?
Sure. But too many people take it too seriously. If you can win or lose with a smile it is fun.
Some people take the games too seriously, you need to play to have fun and not get hanged up about playing a little worse today than you did yesterday or last week, or loosing to some silly build.

I play football casually with some friends, but some of them get really angry when people don't play to their standards. But if they want to play seriously join a proper team, not just a ragtag group of friends.

Also SC2 has some nice non 1v1 games. Coop is about as popular as 1v1, fun custom games that seems to be quite popular as well.
It is literally 300k playing 1v1 every month, so you find enough players in all skill levels. I find a game much faster than when I queue for CS:GO, since you just need one other player similar to your skill level.

Go for it, it is free to play now anyways.
Oh, and play the OG StarCraft and BroodWar campaigns, those are also free and really cool. Not a fan of the SC2 campaigns personally.

>Not getting supply blocked doesn't really matter if you don't realize you are getting allinned in time
Actually the opposite, since players are so bad at most skill levels means their cheese is innefficient as fuck, which means never getting supply capped and never stop producing units means you will never lose to cheese

Best way to get better is to learn one cheesy rush build against each race. Easy to know what to do, and not too many things to focus on at once. Then you will soon get into the rythm of making units, micro, then back again. And you can start to do that better and better with bigger and bigger armies and economies.
Best and fastest way to get your APM up and be able to properly multitask. If you play standard macro games all the time, you just get overwhelmed.

Don't do this. Learn a macro build, and a timing attack build. If you just do all 1 base all ins and cheese, you aren't actually learning shit. You're gonna get rolled by the most basic expand build cause you're sitting on shit units and no money.

Just practice a 15 hatch 15 pool build and a 15 pool 15 hatch build. This chuckle fuck is just making it complicated and harder.

Good shit here.
Also watch pro games from time to time. Learn what's good and some new cool cheeses.

16 hatch, 18 gas, 17 pool is better
