Stop selecting all your units over and over

SC2 just looks like a totally alien game to me (pun intended)... I feel like it's something I could never learn :/

sc2 is the worst competitive game out there. methamphetamine simulator

[Masq]

yeah it sucks, but whats better?

[Big_Japan]

company of heroes is a way better RTS anyway. Constant harassment (map control = resources), zero emphasis on building/resource management as a central tenet of the game, cover system etc.

There's been almost no skirmishing/harassment in this SC2 stream so far, and both sides have 100+ pop armies now. Granted, the players may suck too bad to be harassing properly, but either way the game is playing more like a game of Sim City with a big unit showdown at the end than a good RTS.

also this guy just sits in his base chain-selecting his harvesters over and over at the beginning of the game. Does this serve some kind of purpose or is the game so boring that you literally have to waste APM on that?

in other RTS you can at least spend your idle early-game moments spectating over the fog of war, and hear enemy footsteps etc, rather than being relegated to autistic nailbiting ingame...

also where do you find music this shitty? frenchmen and guys with asian-accented english spitting effeminate raps? lol

The useless actions do serve a purpose for good players, they spam actions to keep their APM up so that they don't have to speed up and slow down as they play. And in a real SC2 match you would be fucked if you spent your time hovering over the map listening for footsteps.

Still sounds awful. A good competitive game punishes you for making unnecessary actions - not rewards.

Fair enough - we'll chalk this guy's idle time up to lack of skill. I suspected this was more akin to a bad player quickswitching constantly in CS or something anyway.

you talk a lot of shit for being clueless :p

It's hard to appreciate a good meching terran if you know nothing about the game. It is more of a turtle-ish style. If you can follow the player's thought process and you know what their opponent is trying to do, there's a lot of strategy involved. It is my favorite race/style to watch.

fair enough brethren. i don't know shit about what good SC2 play looks like.

Resource/building-heavy RTS are still awful though. just look at the mad bads that came out of the woodwork when I stepped to this shitty game :o

[Masq]

Going to stream again tonight in an hour or so. I hope you come and watch again big_japan, I would like to hear your thoughts on:

- clicking stuff
- stupid music
- how company of heroes is a superior game because you dont click stuff
- sim city (I love Sim City btw)
- watching the fog of war listening to footsteps

and any other topic you want to discuss!

[Masq]
