Just ended my 7 games losing streak ... 800 Diamond player here.
6pooled by rdm -> Z, proxy gated by P on DO, some 5rax reapers games where I managed to take it to mid/late game but always being behind ... these games really make me tilt.
If Blizzard doesn't seriously nerf terran (or buff zerg) with next patch I'll quit SC2 ... it really gets me tired to play from behind.

Man I can relate with this sentiment so much. I actually dipped below 900 for a bit today, as I continued to spiral down.

The most annoying part is consciously noticing my own personal mistakes, and eventually dropping games to players that are so pathetically mediocre.

For the past week, I've defended every 4 warpgate push that's been thrown my way.

Just today I lost to 4 of them. One came from a plat baddie. =\

edit:

That said, I'm not going to quit playing if we don't get buffs. I know that the losses that are stacking up are my fault. I just have to correct those mistakes.

The rage I suffer along the way, though, really makes me want to QQ. (hence this blog!)

I had a similar experience to the OP. I was at 1030 points today and i played 10 games with zerg. I ended up winning 1 game and then going on losing the next 5 and then i won the next 2 games, but then lost the next 2. so i ended up at 985 points, which really pissed me off because it was the first day in weeks that i ended up with lower points after playing alot of games, and i felt like i was playing so much shittier than i usually do.

Since i was in such a tilt i decided that i was going to switch races here and now to terran. I ended up winnng 1 game then losing the next 3. I didn't like terran after that so i played protoss, and i ended up losing 3 games in a row, then winning the next 3.

Moral of the story imo is NEVER play when on tilt. Because a few hours later after resting i played zerg again and i found that my apm increased by like 30 and i was playing at a level that i have never played before, and i proceded to crush my opponents in the 2 games i played. I should have stopped as soon as i hit the losing streak and maybe then i would not have ended up losing 60 points to 971 :S.
