I don't know what to do. I can't figure out how to win a single game.
In my defense, I almost never play other bronze leaguers. In their defense, when I do they still kick my ass. How bad am I? When did I get this bad? When did it happen that I actually can't win any games at all? At the bottom of the Bronze League I can't get close to a 50% win ratio.
Like quite a few of the other players I've faced, he shows in his profile and badge as being Platinum, but not in the score screen. Bug?
Also like quite a few other players I've hit on the ladder, I didn't get a GL or HF or anything out of him. More and more I'm seeing that. I guess the friendly players have moved on to other games? The ladder just isn't as much fun for me in HoTS and I don't know if that's because I don't have as much time to play or I just don't know how to play or if something else is really going on in the Community.
Before the Replay:
PvT. I scouted his heavy Marine / Marauder 1 base push early and was ready for it. I defended pretty well and put up some counter pressure.
I kept to my "expand to 3 bases by X time" but I failed to continue to Macro well. He did a *huge* drop on my Mineral line and I held it off, but was hurt and didn't rebuild quickly. I started to tech but I was feeling anxious that he had a huge lead on me. I threw DT's into his expansions and base and slowed him a bit, but not enough He had all his mining centralized pretty tightly despite the attempts to expand.
He threw another huge MMM force at me and I thought I was defending it well but suddenly I had *no* army. He just ripped them to shreds despite my better upgrades. I hate Robo tech. I just hate it. I have to find another way to win.
After the Replay:
I was supply blocked a lot. I'm so bad at building Pylons. Why?
I was right that he had a huge advantage after I destroyed his first MMM group that landed on my mineral line. His supply was 20 higher and though I had twice the working worker count, MULEs gave him a higher actual income.
However I had a huge advantage after my DT attacks. I had 71 harvesters to his 17. I had a huge amount of cash and I just wasn't spending it. I should have had more Gateways down and should have been Chrono Boosting them. Jesus that's where I lost the game right there, the biggest single blunder where I could have won easily.
That being said, it's worth noting that we actually had a similar food count. 159 to 168. Just that his was almost all Army and mine was 1/2 Income.
Damn, I should have been able to win that. Even when I GG'd he had nothing behind it. If I'd started properly macroing then...
I had almost 4k in Minerals in the bank. Didn't even notice. I am so so so awful at this game.
