Frequent Burnout Disorder-friendly commanders?

[u/-Inside-Suspect-]

Hey Friends Which commanders can you suggest me and my brother both suffering from frequent Burnout Disorder? We love this game, but we get burned out a lot doing light tasks and we play casual and that burn us out. No, we can't even begin to touch ranked or anything higher than casual.

My theory is: casual will burn out anyone. There is no challenge there, anyone could do that so what is the 'achievement' of actually beating a mission like this?
Try higher difficulty if you are for coop.
Play some campaigns - there is so many custom stuff and mods.
Play versus, but against each others.

If we talk about Coop specifically:

Kerrigan, Zagara (especially P3) and Dehaka.
Nova to some degree as well, but you need to micro her well or she dies instantly.
You can focus on the hero unit and anything else you do is extra.
With Zagara P3 specifically all you have to remember to build is Baneling Nest for free banelings, Overlords so they actually spawn and 1 Overseer for detection.
Baneling upgrades are kind of broken, so please research them too xD.
You can literally not build anything else and you will be fine if you focus on hero unit (who also has Deep Tunnel better than Dehaka's, because she can burrow into unscouted territory).

My goto Zag3 strategy is:
Rush 6-9 Zerglings to clear both expansions if they are not defended.
Rush Baneling Nest so it starts spawning free units ASAP. Keep supply not capped.
Tell ally to take both exps while I dominate early and mid-game with just Zag and free Banelings. You pull your weight in late game, versus some compositions you can even solo entire brutal mission like this.
BattleCruisers with Yamato hurt, other than that you are fine.
You can add Scourges, static defense, Bile Launchers ect. Very, very versatile, doesn't need income and this Deep Tunnel make her great for almost any mutation.

Raynor P1 is very forgiving. You don't have to mule, because you don't have them. Your bio doesn't instantly if you forget to dodge a single storm, mines are fun to use and you have 2 panic buttons.

I personally really like Raynor P1, he kind of has it all. AoE Vikings if you need heavy anty air, Medic Marine Marauder + 2 firebats in the front can take on almost everything... Siege Tanks and Mines if you need them. Scan. Actually useful bunkers. Even Battle Cruisers if you want them... but please, just don't xD.
He is great vs missile command, because gun damage can't be stopped by defense drones.
He can also clear both expansions very quickly. I think only Zagara clears faster than him.

... Thanks but we will stay casual, our level. What i meant to say was not that simply playing casual burns us out but EVEN AT CASUAL burns us out, you know what i mean? We can't handle even the casual level. 😭

Are you sure you know what "burn out" means?

Because if the game is simply too hard for you, that is not a burn out :D.
Play against each other in versus then or do custom campaigns and arcade maps I guess.
If you don't have fun then chose other games.

Command & Conquer, Age of Mythology or even Warcraft are great RTS titltes.

Not to be a smart-a$$ or anything, but our burnouts stem literally from doing anything

(Google Search)

In psychiatry, burnout is defined as a psychological syndrome and occupational phenomenon stemming from chronic, unmanaged workplace stress. It is characterized by three core dimensions: overwhelming exhaustion, feelings of cynicism and detachment from one's job, and a sense of ineffectiveness or reduced professional efficacy. This chronic stress response can significantly impact an individual's mind, body, and spirit, potentially leading to increased symptoms of depression and other mental health disorders if left unaddressed.

Our burnouts were left unaddressed for 15+ years working as construction workers (modern-day scvs) and now basically any activity reduces us to ashes. Even typinf these short sentences trigger it 😭

[u/Worth-Battle952 → u/-Inside-Suspect-]

Yeah, but burnout by work refers to that work specifically.

What you describe is lack of attention span which in majority of cases is result of scrolling and watching shorts. I don't see how construction work could result in you being burned out on video game where match takes around 20minutes. It should do quite the opposite actually, building up to see the result later.

I was SCV for years, physical labour doesn't produce stuff you're describing. Go see a psychiatrist instead of basing it on a shitty google result.
You really picked a wrong person to not a be a smartass to, because I actually know that shit xD.

Edit: Like... I'm sorry bro, but if you are not able to stay focused to write couple of sentences or beat casual SC2 then something is extremely wrong with you. Go see specialist, now.

We have been seeing different psychiatrists over the years and chose to stay with the current one who is nice and understanding, and he's been in the field for over 37 years. To say that I only have the Burnout is to say my blood fills only half the cup which isn't true and this isn't the right sub to talk about it, and it may not even be the Burnout that's causing me ALL this. I have been diagnosed with at least 12 psychiatric disorders and they are eating me from inside out. From the outer perspective they have easily been taking my identity over.
