coming back to this game after some months and damn its like, every single game someone is doing some special crazy build order that ive never seen. no one's content to just play age 2 / age 3 and try to out eco and out micro. it really feels like a game of who can guess the other person's wonky build order and pick their own wonky build order to counter it right.

the usa marines FI is making qs so damn boring
If I were a petal
And plucked, or moth, plucked
From flowers or pollen froth
To wither on a young child’s
Display. Fetch
Me a ribbon, they, all dead
Things scream.

Well, yes. It isn't mechanics, it's knowledge about which builds are good.

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

Some of these new civs have still not been explored fully, so every week brings a new fancy build order.

OP is right, that's how the meta feels atm from what I've seen and from the very few games I happen to play.
However it is also how you would expect qs to be with all the DE new stuff and in general when the game isn't completely stale. QS during 2011-2013 was kinda like that. Eventually you figure civs stuff and players' one trick pony builds. If you're the better player you emerge The process can definetely be frustrating tho. But atleast now you dont have to deal with lag and maps with imba resources.
