Help, I am utterly dreadful at SC2, I keep playing auto matches on bronze but even at this level the people I'm playing against seem to know exactly what to do to win and have a well thought out strategy.
I have been called a noob numerous times and its frustrating, how am I supposed to improve if even at bronze other players are like gaming gods?
I would just like some simple tips that will work in a variety of situations. Lets keep it to terran tips as I feel I should definetely stick to playing just one race right now.
Maybe some build orders as I am beyond clueless. Perhaps I will see the greatness of this game then!
I am a bit bad at rts in general, I can hold my own in company of heroes and dawn of war 2 but I think these are a bit slow paced in comparison.
Any help would be great, thanks guys

But seriously, most people in Bronze will go for basic, macro-heavy builds... or cheese. If they're trying some funky build the pros use, they'll probably make loads of mistakes along the way and you should feel bad if you don't crush them.
If you want to enjoy the game and not get frustrated beyond all hell every few games, I suggest the first thing you do is work on handling cheese - 6 pools, cannon-rushes, any kind of all-in etc. If you can work on holding off their cheese, as long as you've played a standard game you will be ahead.
After that, just practice your macro - if yours is better than theirs, you should win. I find the best thing to start on is simply focussing on workers and supply - know when to build your first two or three supply depots, and always build workers. Every second of every game you should know how much your supply is and whether a worker is being built. Make sure your money is as low as possible, but also make sure you don't have too many unit-producing structures - don't build 7 barracks if you can only afford to be building 3 marines at a time. Knowing hotkeys of every building, worker and unit is essential - obviously things like Yamato cannon research can be overlooked because you'll hardly ever be using that, but anything you intend to use a lot should never be clicked. Your goal should be to never point your mouse in the bottom right corner of the screen.
The most important thing as a new players is to NOT turtle in your base. By this I mean being gun-shy, worrying that their army might wreck yours so building more turrets and lining up siege tanks in your main.
Be aggressive. Even if you lose, which you will a lot at first, you'll lose by having fun. You won't lose a 30 minute match to a deathball just because your opponent macroed better, took every expansion on the map while you had everything cramped into a little fortress.
Scouting is of course vital as well - many people who turtle rarely have any idea of what's going on outside of their base, and are in the dark for most of the game. Scout continuously. If your scouting worker dies, send another one, or poke with a unit. Even if you aren't too sure of which unit composition is best against the army you've scouted, it's still essential to know what they've got, where they are and when they'll attack.
I'm not very good either, but I understand that anything below Diamond level is all about macroing correctly, knowing unit counters, not being gunshy and perfecting your build order. As you get better you will pick things up along the way - the most important of these is knowing where you should be at which stage, and knowing how many units your opponent can possibly have without actually seeing it.

And as terran its pretty easy imo, Vs Toss i'd go for a marine maurader stim push or 1/1/1. Zerg I normally like to get helion into banshee and terran i just marine tanks, I'll leave a few link aswell that should help
