SC2 multiplayer: that tangy cheese smell
Prepare for some bitching, by me, to you. Are you ready?
The night was young, ripe for adventure. I sat down, excited to be playing some Starcraft 2 2v2 and 3v3 matches with my friends. We got a game together, and I’m all happy to be in there against real humans, and then WTF MAC AND CHEESE. Fucking 6-pool: zergling cake with marine and zealot icing. It’s a bullshit tactic, but one that is all over the bronze league.
I mean, ok I’m in the bronze league; I know I suck. You don’t have to tell me. But I just started multiplayer, and I want to learn from other players and work my way up a bit. But I can’t, and neither can you, unless you cheese.
After being cheesed 3 matches in a row, it became pretty clear there’s no way out of this mozzarella fondue without your own cheddar. I went 2v2 and started void ray rushing. Imagine my surprise when the victories rolled in. Can’t defend your hive against that, can you, fuckers. At first I had a little rush of pleasure, I’ll admit, because I could actually win. But it gets boring quickly. I could change it up with 2 rax, 2 gates, 6-pool, [insert rush here], but I mean.. why? It’s not fun.
I hear arguments like: “it’s part of the game, this cheese.” Sure, you know what else is part of the game? The internet. If your internet goes down because I walk over there and fucking unplug it in a fit of rage, is that a valid loss? Perhaps, but it’s not very sportsman-like. Same thing here. And yes, you can try to defend against cheese by barricading your ass and microing as necessary, but when 3 armies approach your barricade and your friends are barricaded in fear as well, what can you do? Maybe you could counter by rushing first, and I think that’s exactly why everyone just rushes. It’s bullshit, and I’d prefer a real game. Perhaps when I move out of this shit-tastic league I’ll be happier.
I’m not sure if it gets much better to be honest… I’m in silver league and it’s not all that much better there either :s or how ’bout the gay ass tactic of trying to sneak in your base and building their lil gateway or whatever shit they feel like… actually… the one that pissed me off the most was when the fucker decided he was gonna put pylons and canons in my base… how fucktastic was that?! well you know what dumbass… i still kicked your ass in 2v2 so suck on my silver balls! (I know silver is nothing to brag about but a lot of these SC2 players really piss me off with their cheapassedness)… that fucker’s tactic was only canons up the ying yang… he never sent any men… hence the reason him and his partner went down in flames… fucktards
oh, you know, now that you mention the canons i had someone do that to me too. they cannoned into my base right at the start with no units and i ended up losing.
that’s uh, shitty that it doesn’t get better in silver league. should i bother continuing to play multiplayer? what’s wrong with people. maybe i can join the korean servers~
I’m In Platinum 4v4 and its MAC n Cheese all the way. Cannon Rushes and MASS RINES. You just gotta roll wiff da punches.
