What I'm most curious about is the level of play at gold+ leagues. Is it just more of the same or do the games actually reach the mid or late game frequently. I'm not having a problem dealing with these rushes it's just that I'm kind of getting bored scouting them, seeing a 4 gate, fast voidrays, a 6 pool, etc. and then having to respond by just pumping out units and winning the battle.
games that reach mid and lategame are results from both sides being able to deal with early aggression and defense. at higher levels you'll still see fast voidrays and 4 gates, but they'll be a hell of a lot harder to defend, and people will expand behind it even if you successfully defend.
they wont commit to an attack and just harass with the voidray which is infinitely more annoying.
basically you really have to just learn to deal with these rushes and kill them, or else when you move up in leagues you will play against people who execute much better, and just kill you with the same stuff. no reason for people to play a long macro game if they can just kill you with a quick voidray harass into 2-3 gates of units. the games will naturally become longer as both players become more adept at attacking and defending.
i know you said you deal with it fine, but no offense if you really are dealing with it and killing them, and that's all they're doing, you should be moving up the ranks incredibly fast.
