I am ready to throw in the towel on playing Starcraft online. In the last three days of playing, I won only 3 games out of 40. I used to win all the time. The fun is gone because several factors make it impossible to win now. I only play 3v3 team games, and you would think the luck of the draw would eventually give me decent teammates in an expert game. Nope, I always get the worst noobs. In one game, this idiot turtled and took 30 minutes to build 2 carriers. Meanwhile I was slaughted as all three players hammered me. I've tried every strategy in the book. There is no way to beat 3 super pros vs me. Last night, I tried going mass defense first. I built 20 sunkens. They ripped through the sunks in less than 60 seconds. Funny, I could send a 100 unit army, and die fast if I go after such a defense. Every game ends up with me fighting 3 on 1 since my teammates can't mount an offense. A large part of the frustration is the game hosts always stack the team. Usually they team up with all their buddies. If I try to host, no one will join my game. Now, I get so pissed off that I stopped playing. I join the stacked games, then announce that I am leaving. If the host makes a new game, I login with a new ID, and repeat the process to irritate them. Even more amazing, whenever I do get a decent teammate, the game almost always puts them in an isolation position far from my base so they get attacked first. Anyone else deal with these frustrations?
