Agreed, starcraft is IMO one of the worst examples of this in gaming, you gotta treat that game like a part time job at a minimum just to not get your ass handed to you 9 times out of 10 while playing online. When I was in my prime SC form I could easily beat the hardest (non-cheating) AI difficulty, I went back to it a few weeks ago and got destroyed by the medium level AI which is significantly worse than even terrible online players lol.
Even when I played that game constantly, if I went even a few days without playing it I would take half a day to get back up to speed. Such a hard game. I don't have the patience for that anymore and if I feel like try harding I stick to overwatch which is IMO much more forgiving than starcraft is.
I tend to stick to single player games 90% of the time now that my free time is significantly less than it used to be.
I think StarCraft would give me carpal tunnel now. It would hurt a bit even when I was a decade younger. I switched from zerg to protoss toward the end so that I could get away with lower APM.
I literally have carpal tunnel in my mouse hand and I'd attribute a huge part of that towards my starcraft days sadly, that game is demanding af. Even competitive FPS games don't bother me nearly as much as trying to play starcraft.
As a Protoss main, I feel personally attacked by your comment 😂 but at the same time it's completely fair. Terran and Zerg definitely require more APM than Protoss, but I've always loved the idea of high tech aliens more than boring humans or swarming low tech aliens.
