I'm not going to mention the state of the game, this is simply a genuine question for everyone old and new. What actually made you drop the Starcraft 2?

And, of course, for everyone who does read the post: have you heard of custom content? Mods like Patches' Balance Patch, SC: New Ways and everything in between still attempt to make the game you so passionately loved more interesting, rectify its flaws and whatnot.
For even more custom content, Scion Custom Races and The Ultimate Mode Of Erls are still a thing, Nexus Coop is still out there and each of the mentioned feel good to play right now.

I know people love simplicity(which is why Direct Strike is, sadly, the top 1 arcade and the whole RTS genre is on life support) but I'm only left to wonder at which point this kind of content alienates the already hooked vanilla players. If you were still playing, would you give custom content a chance instead of the game's own competitive multiplayer? Why?

Angry was 5,5K mmr terran before 5.0.16, GM. Special respects him. And that's his opinion.

Seriously, it's the most fun I've had playing an RTS since WoL came out. I'm just going to discuss pvp/ladder, but there's a ton of pve content too like a co-op galactic war for those into that.

But basically, Zerospace is a ton of fun. For those of us who aren't GM, the added QoL and simpler macro makes me feel like I can actually execute all the things that need to be done throughout a match and play at a level above what I'm used to.

It plays and feels a lot like SC2, so a ton of your skills will transfer over, but with a fresh coat of paint and its own identity. The QoL improvements are amazing (like a single tab for all of your unit production and another for all of your buildings, formation movement, easy rally w/ attack move on default). And streamlined macro puts more focus on micro and unit control/positioning.

There are control towers on the map encouraging constant engagement and map control. Those power persistent upgrades you can choose from, which might differ each match. You have top bar abilities, giving you more strategic and combat options. Upgrade paths branch (e.g. zergling-like units can be upgraded to either jump cliffs or go invisible in tall grass, but you can't have both).

All of this adds up to matches that are really action-packed, but a lot less stressful to play (personally). I find myself less anxious laddering and having a lot more fun.

I'm just a fan that loves the game, and I highly recommend it. And I really think this is the most promising spiritual successor to SC2 that we'll see for a very long time, and I'm sure a big part of the SC2 community would love it.

One of the most difficult cheese I've faced, - 1base, 2 proxy robo immortal+warp prism in early game, with no scout how can It be countered?

I wont be posting a link because it's easy to google and I dont want the mods to think I'm connected with the devs of the ai.

That said, I think It's super useful but also reaply expensive at $1 per game. I play at leat 300 games per month. The devs should consider a monthly subscription so more people would subscribe.

Found these from a guy who used to own a Gaming store. Pretty cool!

This has taken me 16 years nearly to complete . I was admittedly slow on the uptake of playing Random and it counting for all races and random but assuming a win rate of less than 50% I feel quite emotional . Please be kind :-)

(blue is me) So I just had a game, stomped him. Watched the replay and saw that after rushing me with ling and failed, seems like he didn't know/want to continue anymore (he expanded weirdly and almost made no progress). He said this to me at the end which I don't know what it means. Can somebody explain please? Thanks.

Context: I played SC2 on and off for years, mostly with AI. Just got interested in playing with people recently (my league placement is still locked and showing 6/10, which I think is the number of games I played with people before).
