- Allies who don't help you fend off an enemy assault when it's painfully obvious you're heavily outmatched. At the very least, they could go for a counterattack on the enemy forces. In that case, even if you get wiped out, it becomes a 1v1 or 2v2 (depending on the map type).
- People who leave the game in the first minute of the game. Obviously, life happens (sudden power/internet outages, emergencies), but I doubt that that's always the reason it occurs. I don't see why they can't stay and play. As far as I know, there's no achievements unlockable by losing games. :P
- People who turtle and don't leave their main area until they're out of resources (and sometimes not even then!). Earth to "you-know-who-you-are": We're playing a Cooperative game, I/We (depends on map type) can help you! No need to turtle for 20+ minutes. Oh, did I mention that the greatest offender of this pet peeve actually got wiped out anyways? You would've thought he'd have the decency to not get stomped after all of those defenses he set up. -_-
- Triple Terran on the AI side in a 3v3 match. Then the legion of Marauders knocks on MY door. While I'm playing Zerg. Oh, for the love of the Swarm!! -_-
- (Pro Tip: Counter with Zerglings. Hydralisks are flimsy and Roaches are Armored).
- The Bio Ball aka. MMM aka. Marines/Medivacs/Marauders. I hate myself when I use it; that's how bad I hate it. Seriously, I feel like Protoss and Zerg require actual effort to master but Terrans can stomp with their basic Tier 1 infantry and some healing ships (which, mind you, just make the Bio Ball stronger; you don't really need the healing if you get to your enemies fast enough). I don't think I've used half of the Terran tech tree yet, because MMM works that well. To be fair, it's fun the first dozen times you use it. After that, you feel like you're coated in Cheese. :P
- I loathe how my micro and macro slips at regular intervals while playing Zerg. How I miss the days of the first version where the extent of playing Zerg well was just expanding fast. Now you need to micro Queens as well (which can get overwhelming if you're trying to do so for multiple bases at the same time).
I hope you enjoyed reading through my pet peeves. :P
You're probably peeved by some of these things as well. :D
Until the next time, take care and have fun! ;)
