Where did the skill go?

[HaiL]

Since I've been playing again, I can't help but notice how much the average skill level has dropped. It's so boring now.. What happened to the competition?

[StoNe]

Hiding and trailing is the new thing, don't you know?

[skiD]

idling... sometime everyone will come back for a couple weeks

[HaiL]

I hope people from west come back, so there's more likely to be people on when I'm on. lol

I haven't played starcraft since like 2010. This snipers shit is still here? wtf.

[HaiL]

Yeah.. Most of them are kinda dumb though. You literally have to say EVERYTHING in layman's terms to 95% of the people. And the other 5% are too "cool" to speak to you if you aren't their friend. So basically, if you try getting a game, you'll fail 9/10 times because people are retarded or don't talk. And 9/10 times that you do manage to get a game, it's a fuckin joke. I've been optimistic that it's still worth getting on every once in a while (even daily as of late). And the community is definitely alive. But unfortunately, I have little nice things to say about it. I come on to play cuz it used to be a fun game. Now I come on and find myself having more fun talking to old friends than I do actually playing the game, which is not the purpose of me coming on. I come on to play. And there's nothing.

I'm here for you

[HaiL]

I'm here for you

No you aren't. You're just on your bot. You're NEVER there for me!

[skiD]

Just hug it out guys

[StoNe]

No one wants to hug you sKiD. Not no more at least

No you aren't. You're just on your bot. You're NEVER there for me!

I am always in your games, smurfing.

[HaiL]

Even if that's true, that's not being there for me. Lol

[Loki]

Yeah there's been a cubic ass ton of smurfing as of late...I don't want to point fingers though. It's never been my style.

[Rumsy]

I only smurf on two other names. I don't know HaiL every time I play you, you seem quiet yourself. Shy??

[EaSe]

Maybe I'll jump on SC for once and see how things are going...It seems like everybody has left starcraft and moved on...Just looking at these forums...

Oh and I'm also guessing people that played Laser Tag probably play Snipers on the daily now, I guess...

It is true that I don't talk much during games. But that's not what we're talking about here..

Have not missed much. Ora still a cry baby. He got mad and camped us earlier cause he aired while we were flagging "You flagged an air" QQ QQ. It's part of the game lol

[skiD]

[Knight]

I personally don't take stall or air flags myself, even if a championship league game would depend on it. I'd rather go out with honor than win that way. Unless my enemies flagged an air or stall earlier in the game and I felt I really needed it, then it's a level field.

I used to not take skip flags, too, back in walks. Because you remember how walks was, any clicking at all when they were within range could cause a skip, so it really wasn't always the user's fault. Very unpredictable. But those days are over, skips are entirely the person's fault these days.
