I have the exact same problem but with SC1, i don't play melee at all cause i get maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad when i lose just a single game cause i don't do as well as i think i can. I guess it's like HotBid said, fear of losing.

Same here, my solution was to play with friends, but if even that doesn't help you then you might wanna consider medication.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

The way I see it ICC points are a currency for practice games. You pay points to practice vs better players and worse players pay their points to practice vs you. Tonight was expensive but this is why I got all the points. To buy series vs top level players. And I scored a few wins vs them so I'm proud of myself there.

Wow this is actually an excellent way of thinking about it. I've been coasting at my current rank, as dismal as it may be, just 'cuz I was afraid to lose a few in a row and have to dig myself out of a hole to get back up.

Imo, one thing that makes people scared to progress in a game is the fact that they put so much time and effort into a game and as they do this, it gets harder. (almost anything else it gets easier) So it feels like you're going no where, especially with AMM.
And then you feel like a real loser, because the stigma of gaming. You gotta realize that all these good players are doing the exact same thing, playing for hours and hours every day. So don't feel bad if you lose to them.


PS- the sc2 ladder tries to keep you around 50% as well.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)
