Do a builder order vs x per match up that just leads to being bad i think

It leads to you being bad if you stop your learning there. Learning X build order vs Y match-up is the first step. Practice that until it's crisp and second nature, THEN start applying your game knowledge and adjusting your build based on what your opponent does.

You're totally right, being inflexible and static in your builds will make you a bad player. However, you can't effectively be a dynamic and reactive player until you have a solid foundation.
