Hopefully I'm not alone here. I suck at SC2 and can't expect to make maps while losing to copper-leaguers. I've lost each and every single one of my ranked matches, and I've lost most of my qualifiers.
Can a mapper still make it while sucking this bad? I don't think so. To be good at game design, especially in an RTS, one has to be able to do fairly well at a game, at least enough to be able to understand why a game works right. Since I clearly don't have that kind of analytical ability, I'm wondering if my IQ is even in three digits. I try my best and suck at it (and every other competitive game I know of), even though I have been gaming since I was five years old.
Anyone else out there who should die in a hole and rot due to their permanent incompetence? Post here! Don't post if you're in silver league or above, or if you have a girlfriend, or if you have a job/car/house/etc.

halfthought is correct. I worry about my own abilities to create new games if I can't get a good handle on a current one.
I've narrowed down my failure to inability to micro, though.
I am certainly not a casual gamer. Not even close.
That fact only makes this matter worse.
