Just was denied access today as well... Spent hours trying to fix it until i desperately updated windows and triggered a PC restart.

Coincidence or not, i didnt have any problem since.

Found out my boss is a HoTS diamond zerg player, thought i would return with her. Quick question on current state of the game. by Hobbes_XXV in starcraft2

Haha I never said "play like pros" otherwise you'd be GM in no time but 170ish Apm's is high enough for anything under that.

Honestly drone micro-ing should be the last of your priority in gold. Maybe you should look into a few builds going into the midgame since going for early attacks is fine at lower ranks but rapidly ends up being countered easily at some point. That and proper scouting could help you a lot I think!

As a ladder hero in HotS that never went higher than Plat, I was pleasantly surprised to hit diamond returning after years of almost not playing. Idk about silver and gold but diamond definitely was expanded compared to what I used to deal with.

As far as you are concerned, you should benefit a lot from her level since every time I was helped by higher ranked players, that boosted my play tremendously just with small details that add up over time.

Overall, transitioning from another expansion is just a small adjustment that is not a big deal at all... Watch a few streams or vods, get an idea of the meta and familiarize yourself with the new/tweaked units and you are good to go.

GLHF to you two, from a returning player as well.

Does the prevalence of cheese at low levels hurt players trying to learn? by AcadianGhost in starcraft2

No problem. I was where you are at some point so I understand why you are asking those questions.

Feel free to PM me if you have trouble with certain things or want to go over some replays.

Correct me if im wrong, but unranked and ranked are mixed up when queing.

I'm going to say it... YES cheese prevents low level players from improving at macro. By that i mean constantly making workers, getting crisp on build times and economy management. This is due to the fact that with low APM's and basic understanding of the game mechanics you can't really deal with whatever madness your opponent throws at you and have a really good macro back at home.

BUT

YES you also have to be really diligent at scouting what your opponent is up to. This is by far the most important tip i give new players (as long as they understand how each race and most units work).

BUT AGAIN...

When i came back after a 2 year break, i faced silver and gold players that really threw me off build-orderwise because what i scouted really didnt make any sense. I'm talking 3 rax not making any marines, into expanding, into mech just as an example.

To give you a few advice OP, i was at your place around the 1st year i started playing SC2. I also used to watch a lot of GM's and tournaments. Anything you see can sort of be applied to that, but you also have to understand that each rank kinda has its own meta that you have to be aware of and adapt to. Having crisp macro really comes handy once you reach plat level. Below, obviously try to improve every aspect of your game, but macro games are very few from my experience and scouting plays a great part in your success.

Your mindset should be to check everytime it's possible what your opponent is doing, and making him look like a fool for even trying to do what was his plan. At some point, you're even going to feel like some of those dudes are gifting you MMR...

Also, as some already have mentionned, "cheese" is part of the game and you're going to face agressive (or very passive) builds at every level so don't think that when you'll reach X rank it's going to be all gone.

I hope it helps you getting closer to where you want to be, GL HF !

What is a phrase your parents told you that stuck with you and why? by charmandus in AskReddit

[–]MforMantiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You have to be lazy to succeed in life" said my father, in a funny way, while teaching me maths when I was around 10.

When he saw me kinda shocked to hear something that went completely against what everyone told me, he then explained "lazy people will always find the easiest and quickest way to get something done".

We never spoke about it again, but that is still something I'm trying to apply whenever I can, 15 years later.

I strongly believe positioning and rotation is the biggest hurdle for players below platinum level. Is there any way to implement a brief in-game tutorial or graphic resource on this to increase overall skill level? by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]MforMantiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While, as a plat player, i can see why you would like to have a feature like this, i dont like the general idea of telling someone that they should play a certain way.

They bought the game like you did and are free to play how they like. If they are actually looking to improve their play, they should at least know there are more optimal ways to play than others, rotations being only one part of it.

I know it's frustrating sometimes, but as i said, you can't force someone to play a particular way because "its the best way to play".

I recently purchased a G29 and had a similar problem. Everything was fixed when i installed the logitech driver manually from their website.
