Asians and their starcraft Jesus lol, there's a whole show in Korea ALL ABOUT STARCRAFT GAMEPLAY. Anyways the reason I don't ever play ladder in wc3 is because well the heroes thing is abit imba + everything is so slow paced =(.
Starcraft, ya dude not attacking in 20 mins = stupid stupid stupid shit, the more you wait the more time your enemy has to build up his armies and economy. Especially vs terran, waiting for terran to build up is stupid since terran is just naturally OP. STarcraft is really fast paced dude and macro/micro are the only things by your side to help.
And theres a difference between cheese rushes and standard nobody knows lol it's cute.
Cheese rush = rush type builds found by fag pubs that are pretty hard to counter and usually throw you off the game with macro n shit.
Standard: Took time in his build, but keeps constantly sending at you even if your army wins vs the first wave.
Cheese= 1 shot only
Standard = multiple quickly produced waves.
Spider in the Starcraft, that thinking would make you dead. You hit at the 8 minute mark or your fucked pretty much. Or atleast a constant harass would throw off the opponent on macro.
I played starcraft at first ever since I was 7 (my rents are bad lol) and the gameplay hasn't changed much. I do believe all RTS ladder games deserve to be played as a macro type game which can happen. But your gonna have to give off that early pressure hit first so your enemy cannot build up.
Fact: In starcraft, the average american pro has an APM (actions per minute) of 250 constant through out game. In asia, the average pro player has an apm of 500 constant through whole game. I saw it in a 367 page book all about starcraft strats and tips.
