I don't really play them, OP, but I've always assumed that all the micro in the world isn't going to beat someone who just knows how to counter you or whatever. But hey I might be wrong. But I doubt it.

You can have the best aim of all time but it probably won't win a ton of counterstrike or quake or whatever games for you against people who are a lot better at the general brain part. Farewell.

Hell do they even make games where the whole thing is about micro. What good is micro if you aren't macroing. OP, I think your a gigantic tool, and a idiot.

I think "what went wrong" here is folks like the OP don't have the patience, talent or capacity for learning subtler aspects of games that give them more depth, and just live high on the assumption that in a battle of "pure wits" they'd win every time, even though a game about that would probably be rear end. Why don't you join a debate club or the actual military as a commander or some game show, dipshit. gently caress off.

I know I'm a big old RTS noob but is there actually such a thing as micro busywork. I thought with how RTSes are controlled and path and all that, the amount of times you click per second directly translates to something of at least a little significance happening in the game. That's why I don't particularly dislike the idea of APM or whatever, since I guess theoretically it ought to mean that much more granular of management. Unless RTSes do indeed have just straight up making you click for the hell of it crap in which case, WTF?

Do people just want the units to do something as smartly as possible or something. Where do you draw the line on that, and I thought the beauty of RTSes like SC was how meticulously you can control the game if you want to. Why would you give that up...

If something is just an apm sink how does it offer nuance.

Doctor Goat posted:uh, the machine gun autofiring is a thing for casuals and you only get proper fire rate by hammering on the key really fast, anything else is watering the game down Actually, I'm fairly certain the machine gun doesn't fire faster based on how quickly you click. Goodbye.

The "Where do you draw the line" works both ways though, folks, so be careful. Just because simplifying Starcraft to the absurd might mean the game plays itself, making "Things You Have To Actually Get Good At" to the absurd would mean you have to do ten jumping jacks on a pogo stick and press 6 keys on the keyboard in an order that alternates 4 times in a cycle in order to aim the machine gun in quake. Try finding a different standard, like the tried and true "simplest while offering the most choice possible" that clicking units or moving the mouse to aim gives you, or what have you, since having your eyes just on the Skill Floors, Ceilings, Taxes, Sinks, and whatever other stupid terms, makes you an idiot who likes dumb poo poo.
