none of what you say is true except for like the scout or dark archon or some shit.
you will never even get remotely close to an MMR where the meta matters to begin with.

Except it's completely true, look at these

You mean built in certain match ups. Yes, while most abilities aren't used, a lot of units are used depending on the match up. You mention medics which signals you're talking about TvZ because generally you don't see them in TvT and TvP.

is this the most brainlet take of the year?

>%90 of units aren't built
the only units that aren't used in competitive play are scouts and infested terrans (they do get used occasionally but are still a meme). Units that are rarely used but still have situational uses include ghosts, devourers and dark archons. The rest are all used 90% of the time

>nearly all abilities aren't used
almost all abilities are used. maybe infest CC on queens or optic flare for medics aren't.

>can't do anything off meta otherwise you die
maybe true, but the meta is not one single playstyle, but there are like 20 popular and viable terran builds alone in korea atm, but these rotate according to what builds the opponents expect and aim to counter. Shit goes in and out of popularity all the time. You could walk into a tournament with a build from 2015 and win a game because your opponent is focused on countering playstyles from 2022. Brood war is actually one of the few games where playing an off-meta build can give you a massive advantage if your opponent can't figure out what you're doing.

>game is only difficult due to the units being retarded and lack of qol
true, and the only sensible thing in this post. if you made all the units work like SC2 the game would be easy. And probably boring to watch, like SC2, but whatever

the only unit in the game that everyone agrees is fucking worthless is the scout
literally every unit in the game has seen professional play, with even the scout getting used as a joke a few years back on Inner Coven

Those things are only (partially) true if you play at competitive level. Starcraft was made for the campaign and goofing in dedicated servers. Esport faggotry came later. Even then most units are used.
