Starcraft. I still love playing through the campaigns and coop, but I don’t have the time or energy to keep up with the 1v1 anymore. Used to play it a ton back before Legacy of the Void, but you basically have to treat that game like a second job in order to be competitive and not get destroyed most of the time. I remember going like 3-4 days without playing back then and it’d take me 3-5 hours to get back up to my usual level of play.
It’s still a lot of fun to watch pros or high level players play the game though, at least IMO.
This completely. I miss playing, but I have a job and responsibilities and not enough time to practice or follow the meta. Love watching really skilled players play though.
Not a Starcraft player, but in my experience (Age of Empires, Overwatch) the solution is to stop caring about your rank and just focus on improving where you can.
Oh I agree, I play Overwatch casually and couldn’t care less about my rank, in fact I exclusively play quick play even after 150 hours. But Starcraft is inherently competitive to me due to its 1v1 focus and even without caring about my rank I still find it too stressful and hard to play without a ton of time invested. When I do play it, I prefer to play the campaigns or coop. 1v1 is too time consuming even without caring about rank and only playing unranked.

This is how I feel about Ultima Online. I played 20 years ago as a teen…I do NOT have the time for it now.
