I realise now why I don't like Starcraft Multiplayer.
I can't do what I want. The game isn't fun.
All I want to do is play the game how I want, like just make 400 Zerglings and run them around, or build a futuristic fleet with Protoss and have fun with that, or make an impenetrable fortress as Terran and watch people try to break in.
But I can't. Instead I have to strictly follow a set of orders that everyone else follows. There's no variation in strategies, nothing wild and crazy that might work, rather, I have to "build an overlord at 9" or "chrono-boost upgrades to make them finish faster". I HAVE to do this and that or i'll lose. It seems to be less about "Do what you want lol it might work", instead it's like a strict set of rules that I absolutely have to follow if I want to win. I do want to win, anyone does, but I want to do my own thing, but most of my games are EXACTLY the same, same build order that i got off some "high level play" site, the same mindset, the same experience. The experience being: No FUN.
I just don't have fun with this game, I enjoy it, I WANT to have fun, but I can't because whenever I want to have fun I lose.
Does anyone else feel this way? I feel like i'm forced to not have fun. But if I want to mess around with a game that I want to have fun in, I lose, if I follow this strict routine that results in a boring experience, I win.
Should I just stop playing?
