How do people get into RTS?
Let me preface this by saying that I've never really played an RTS seriously (I did play SC2 when I was a kid, but I mostly played custom gamemodes)
I've been trying to get into SC2 recently, but queuing up into a game just to get beat down by someone that learned a newbie killing strategy, honestly it's just exhausting.
I want to enjoy RTS games, I know it all comes down to practice, but it feels like, despite every small improvement, there is still a giant wall to overcome, to even be able to compete with the lowest ranked players.
I don't have all day to bash my head against a wall learning a build order, and even if I did, it would just drain me, and realistically I would most likely get countered by most people, even in the lowest mmr bracket.
I don't know if it's just because the game is too fast for me, or because someone that has little to no RTS experience is such a rarity, but each match feels extremely exhausting.
I personally like to learn games (or at least the basics) without looking up tutorials, since learning the game while playing it is part of the fun for me. That's how I learned most of the games I both love and hate, but with RTS games there seems to be a wall that you need to overcome in order to even be able to start learning.
If there is anyone here that has had a similar experience before getting into RTS games I would like to hear how you got over this.
Edit: Because it seems like a common point, I did play the campaign and I had a good time with it.
