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.

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?

you can’t really rely on friends regarding boardgaming. you should google your city for associations and meetups to play with other bg-enthusiasts. especially when you need to learn a heavy game with lots of rules, you need people with the same passion as you. i started two years ago and almost completely stopped playing videogames. i meet a lot of people, spend money on fantastic prints and products and train my brain regularly at the table. it’s really an amazing hobby. digital boardgaming is convenient but it doesn’t have the same cool feeling as when you’re playing at a real table.
