It means your micro isn't good enough.

I've used many strategies to beat others, but like some people, i encounter TONS of speartons, and they just kill everybody.

Spearton mass eh?
Go for Magikill, Miner Wall, and some albatross. Speartons with shield bash to prevent the Speartons from killing the Magikill.

I was just thinking, since giants are good on armor, it might be good to use them.

I'm sorry to say that that would be a very bad idea. Giants can only attack one enemy, and speartons are tank units. A mob of speartons could easily take out a giant.

Here's a hint: If you're having trouble with speartons, you're not raging enough.

I honestly don't see how a magi kill even if aided with some walls can beat spear ton massers
