It's fun to learn the tech like muta micro, and practice build orders and stuff.

But you have to accept that ladder has tons of people who only do all-in cheese strats and people who have played the game for many many years. The game is incredibly execution-based, and you will lose games because you didn't know that two buildings don't form a ling-tight wall on one side despite your zealot not fitting between them (look at this https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/Protoss_Fast_Expand_Forge_Walling for how ridiculous complicated building sizes are in Brood War), or because you didn't memorize the wall setups for one of the spawns on a particular map correctly, or because you failed to respond to a bunker rush with the correct number of drones or push the marines back from the bunker enough.

This is the largest RTS period and has people studying and optimizing it for almost 25 years. It is just fundamentally different at this point from learning a new RTS where people are figuring out the meta.
