that is the only reason I dont play ladder, ppl simply know all ins and outs of maps, and as a new player I cant compete with that

I started to play recently, hit slightly above 200 games now.
Things that lean me towards quitting are:
1)no interactive tutorials for build orders and other aspects. AoE2DE for example have pretty good interactive tutorials, much better then FAF. You get comments and instructions while you are doing tutorial rather then "watch and then try to repeat what you just saw". And absolutely no in-game interactive tutorials for late game.
2) toxic community towards new players. It is really hard to find a game when you have 0 rating, at least in NA. Every time I host a game and grey 0 rating player would join in the rest of players would tell me to kick him. This "rating segregation" problem is annoying.
3)Dual gap and astro. I have a feeling that 99% of the games are Dualgap and Astro. Feels like game should have been called SC: Dual gap. And it is hard to compete with someone who played dual gap 100K times.
4)Luck of random maps. This is somewhat related to previous one. It is hard to compete with someone who knows specific build orders.
5)Luck of player base. At least that is a problem for NA. Have to wait full lobby for 30-60 minutes
6) Nobody plays with new content. Srlsy, we have nomads, why nobody play it?

SC have the best RTS mechanics: strategic map, build queue is awesome, physics of unit interaction but some of the above listed drawbacks are in the way

Could you just put a password on your game? Not sure if it works

I live in north america west coast, almost no players at evening here, have to wait weekends to play. Why americans suck at RTS??? Why it is not popular here???

I tried it and it did nothing. Seems reshade is not starting with game, reshade hotkey doesn't work. Not sure how to make it work. Would be nice though to have it working since graphics in game is quite old.

@arma473 making mistakes doesnt change the fact that ppl who played map before will know better where to put defence/offence, how to reclaim better and how to eco better

sounds difficult, wouldn't be better to create a mod that helps you with build order. Mod that would help you to follow certain actions, what to build, where to send engies etc. Or maybe even memorize build orders so one can create own

great idea, feels kind of unbalanced when you can get lots of build power in t2 stage. Late game sacus build power is fine, but when you in t2 stage it feels kind of broken.

Hi
I hasted the game which end up in a crush.
This is the second time i have it, I think without NOMADS hosting works fine.

If someone knows what is going on would appreciate your advise how to fix it.
