A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Competitive games for gamers with slow reflexes (lemmy.zip)

Back then I played Warcraft 3 ladder games and I hit my skill ceiling quite fast because my micro was simply too bad/slow. I still very much enjoy real time strategy games. Is there any real time strategy game that is played competitively with an active community where micro is not that essential? (Ruling out Star Craft 2.) Besides real time strategy games, what other games are out there being played competitive with an active community and where clicks-per-second are not too important?

I‘ve seen the name so much but never actually checked it out, don‘t even know what it looks like. Maybe I‘ll check out a beginner‘s guide on YT or so to see what it‘s all about. Do you have recommendations?

Haven't played but from another thread I saw about that game awhile ago was to try and play co-op to start. Was told it can be very difficult initially playing solo.

For an english guide I'd recommend RachtaZ (https://youtu.be/ZfjK6GiF-L8) the guide is a little outdated i.e. the tutorial of the game has been updated since then but most if not all the information you'll be given in the guide will still be relevant. If you happen to speak german Siegismund has an entire tutorial series that goes into a lot of depth and is honestly one of the best tutorial series I have ever seen for a game. If you decide to start playing I'd also second the suggestion to not play solo and either find a friend to learn the game with or someone who is already experienced. Also some people might recommend playing the secondary solo gamemode called quickplay/soul survivor (the name is being changed to soul survivor in the upcoming update) but it's a lot quicker paced and lacks skill based match making so you'll have to deal with even more very experienced and highly skilled veteran players.
