there are tons of signs that qualify bad players but what I tend to notice the most is
- from a mechanical standpoint, scrolling the screen too much and clicking like crazy while the same task or even more tasks could be done with just click->minimap->click action
- from a logical standpoint, autopiloting your play vs unconventional (bad) strats and then blaming the game because your units don't win you the game

I have a few of my own to add:
-going all one unit (usually musk,huss,or LI) and not changing when your opponent shows up with the counter - seen SOOOOO many players do this even though it's a no brainer
-not herding
-hunting or mining in the middle of the map when you don't have map control
-camping in your base when you are not a defensive civ (i.e. lacking the confidence to push out even when you could)
-taking advice from better players as a personal insult
The function of man is to live, not to exist.

An obvious one is the protection of villagers and leaving idle villagers scattered across the map.

the logical standpoint one is pretty good



i also liked H20''s "bad players don''t know why they''re bad"

that one was also pretty good

Try to make the tp in the middle build a house send 3 vills card collect 800food with all your vills age up with 400wood send 3-5 vills to gather coin make with the 400 wood you gathered 2 houses and a barracks in the middle send 5 jan and train 5 jan in the barracks now send your armee to attack. This should be enough to reach your goal if you play against lower players.

that doesn't mean the guy is bad, he just doesn't want to have a bh in front of his herd which make sense? it only means you cannot scout :)

3) is a pro move vs those who send 3-4 vills to build a forward WH or BH. *KILLINGSPREE*

A bad player is unhappy when he loses.

There is no emotion, there is peace.

There is no passion, there is serenity.



on the other hand,



Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

Through passion, I gain strength.

Through strength, I gain power.

Through power, I gain victory.

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.

I agree with both statements about being indifferent and being upset after a loss.

Indifference is a sign of composure which helps you keep a cool head and make good decisions.

Being upset is a sign that you care all your effort resulted in a loss. You have to care to do good but you also can''t play emotionally or you''re going to make poor choices and have bad unit control.


And regarding minutemen to kill vills building a FB, well that''s a standard mistake that the minutemen weren''t scouted, and they got so far to kill even 1 villager.
