You are suppose to lose roughly 50% of the games you play, if you do, then MM is working like a charm

If you want a game where you win constantly and always get rewarded then its time to sub back to WoW, which in PvE constantly rewards people whom many are pretty lousy players and still have trouble moving out of fires and poisons and other hazards.

Once you realise that the ladder and everything else doesnt actually matter jack shit towards anything then you will be able to enjoy the game, not get pissed that you lost yet again and is so much further away from that shiny portrait/#1 spot in you group(or weekly 200 ranking) that you oh so much want. In other words some perspective should do wonders. Otherwise if you're really that into sc2 then you basically just gotta deal with it, sc2 isnt unique in this way. It's simply life.

In other words, your bnet epeen doesnt reflect your actual life.

I can agree somewhat on how decals and portraits should be available from the beginning, then again if they were you would simply be left with pure achievements(the ones that you get for winning five games in a row, destroying X amount of stuff in a game/period of time etc) and the ladder would be left with nothing else but a purely competitive aspect and it wouldnt get better for people in the same situation as op.
Do you really want chat rooms?

Yeah I don't like losing and yes I get frustrated when losing but I try and learn from that loss and then when I win a good game, no game beats that feeling.

Ehhh what? Just don't try that hard in the laddergames. It's your fault if you take it so seriously.

I don't understand the purpose of this thread.

The answer is:

stop being such a pussy and just try your best. Who cares if you lose.

and really, who cares if you win (except for yourself). Just enjoy it for what it is and have fun winning or losing.

Everyone loses. I don't see anyone in the top 200 with a perfect record.

i dont get why this should be different with bw. i like playing sc2 for the reason i get angry, happy, pumped up and stuff like this.

nothing worse than playing an mmo where you are a fucking hero 100% of the time and get rewarded for doing retarded shit for no reason.

Well thats another thread, where the OP makes a statement and trys to make it look like everyone must be the same opinion. Those things make YOU feel frustrated.

Well I generally agree with one thing. To force someone in this ladder system might be not the best idea for casual players.
There is one suggestion I'd like to see implemented and that is 1on1 testmatch quick search. Bnet2.0 will give u an opponent equal to your ladderranking, but there wont be any points in the end for either one. I'd really love to see that

If people could make their rank private I think everyone would be happier. You could leave it open if you didn't care, or close if off if having the pressure of a public rank wrecks havoc with your inner desire to always win. Having the system there but not visible would also allow matchmaking to still work, and would allow you to see a sense of progression over time, but without the impending feeling of slipping.

Perhaps you could even make the stats invisible to yourself to people who don't like the pressure of falling out of Diamond because they want to try another race. It's irrational and stupid to feel pressure over such an arbitrary ranking, but people put effort in and don't like seeing these things destroyed, it's much easier just not to have it visible in the first place.

Personally I haven't played on the ladder in a while because when I get home from work I don't feel like stressing out over a video game, and find that constantly having a rank hanging over my head just makes things stressful. I can't explain why, I know it's stupid, I have no problem with losing, I have a problem with seeing that stupid losses number keep going up, just let me lose and move on, I don't need this record blaring in my face

I can empathize with both sides, and as such I'd say make it possible for players to choose, give them the choice to play either way makes them happier.

Get drunk before playing.


Last time i had terrible fun with going all 6 Pools, Blingbusts, 5 RR against everything and anything... Then get really drunk and just switch to a race you never actually played and go for all these ¦°¦@§§ things like fast voidrays, cloaked banshee's, reapers...


And i didn't even do that bad :p.... And next day someone told me we played about 10 custom games against each other and i remembered about 2 of them...


Seriously, just play for fun, if the ladder does not allow you that for some reason, find some friends and play customs...

So when is OP going back to CoD MW2 and Halo.

SC2 is fun mate, I honestly think you are here just to stir up some trouble.

If you're a Bronze player, you'll play in Bronze league against other Bronze players. You win % should be the same as a pro-gamer.

What's wrong?

All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.

SC1 made me feel worse when I lost.

I enjoy playing SC2 more than the original.

i've never been so frustrated with a game as I have been with SC2. Each loss feels undeserving and each win seems like it takes too much effort (vs z/t). Whenever I get too upset though I tend to go play a custom game or watch a stream or sign off.

Who cares about online rewards? The most rewarding thing about SC2 is win itself, and progression.

Thing about fun. I think 1v1 is about temptation and challenge. You can't see any fun there because you focus on gameply entirely, and can't see some funny animations etc. 3v3 and 4v4 is pure fun because it's weird and gimmicky.

I only feel anger and frustration when I loose because of stupid mistakes I make. The thing about most people is that they blame only imbalance, not themselves. So yeah, I wanted to rage quit when another bbust raped me in zvz on BS but I typed "gg" because, as day9 said (and his mother ;D), those are only chemicals, just wait for them to stop controlling you
Let us divine :D

I'm not going to read the OP because he's suggesting that SC2 isn't fun. I completely disagree.
I find SC2 to be hilariously fun, sometimes I bust out laughing when I play people, it's a great game.
Wishing you well.

Feel angry about losing? Of course.
