Or the way you “play” them at higher levels is basically just like filling out a checklist, you have to optimise everything, so you aren’t really playing anymore, just doing the one single optimal thing at every point or else you lose.
no meta strategy only works in single player. strategy is essentially making choices early on based on limited info you have, and it’s frustrating to lose a competitive match because you made the wrong choice 45 minutes ago. having meta build orders will make the matches more reactive and turns them into a test of skill rather than a test of knowledge, which is more fun for multiplayer. if you’re playing meta on single player you are doing it wrong.
