Two questions:
1- Which would you think is more important to improve your game, strategy or micro? In other words, is it better to have an excellent understanding of your favorite god and how it should play against each god on different maps or excellent micro (that includes knowledge of hotkeys, special moves and stances, etc). To me it seems that while both are important at any level, strategy plays a much bigger role up to a certain rating level (perhaps 1700 or 1750) and after whoever has the better micro wins (because they already know all the possible strats available)?
2- It seems to me from reading topics here, playing the game and watching recs that the better you get, the more your games tend to go to more advanced ages (perhaps because both players have more skill and do not lose to rushes). This would explain why gods such as Isis, Zeus, Thor tend to be considered "better" than the others (when they get to mythic, they get excellent units/ god powers). Therefore my assumption is that the higher your rating, the more likely your games will go to Mythic age (if you are playing someone with the same rating that is) which would explain why not many top 10 players use attie?
