• StarCraft is too hard for casual players: StarCraft’s high APM (actions per minute) requirement and complex mechanics can be intimidating for newcomers. This can lead to frustration and feeling overwhelmed, which some gamers argue limits the game’s appeal.
  • The three races are unbalanced: Balancing three distinct races with unique units and abilities is a constant challenge. Some players feel a particular race, like Zerg, is inherently stronger and easier to win with in competitive play.
  • StarCraft is a dying game: With the rise of MOBAs (multiplayer online battle arenas) and other genres, StarCraft’s player base has shrunk. Some gamers believe the game is past its prime and no longer relevant in the esports scene.

    if you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen. StarCraft is meant to be challenging. It’s not Mario Kart. If you want a casual game, go play Candy Crush

      Oh, please. You think every gamer has the time to practice like it’s a full-time job? Casual players have lives too. They shouldn’t have to dedicate hours just to avoid getting stomped in Bronze League.

          Git gud? That’s your argument? Come on, Arthur. You know damn well that the three races aren’t even balanced. Zerg is OP as hell. Anyone with half a brain can rush with Zerglings and win.

            Typical Terran whiner. Zerg is not OP. Each race has its strengths and weaknesses. If you’re getting Zerg rushed, it’s because you’re not scouting properly. It’s not rocket science.

              Easy for you to say, Mr. Diamond League. Zerg rushes are cheese tactics that shouldn’t be so effective. And don’t even get me started on how Protoss can just turtle up and wreck your base in two minutes.

                StarCraft isn’t dying because of balance issues. It’s the rise of those MOBA sheep who can’t handle real-time strategy. If anything, MOBAs are the reason why true strategic games are getting sidelined.

                  Sure, blame the MOBAs. StarCraft isn’t past its prime just because people found games that are actually fun and not a second job.

                    Fun? You call brain-dead hero spamming fun? StarCraft requires actual thinking and multitasking. It separates the pros from the casuals.
