I feel really crappy right now. Ever since friday, I can't seem to win a game... Friday afternoon I was up to 2165 pts with 63% win, and now I'm down below 2000 with <60% win in a matter of a few days. I don't really understand why I'm losing, I'm playing the same as I always have and even better sometimes. I just got -13 from losing to a 2300 for some reason (combatEX).
I seriously don't understand how to win a game longer than 10 minutes with terran... my macro isn't godly but honestly there isnt much I can do once both colossi and storms are in play. I feel so helpless, and I felt really good a week ago.. sigh.. I hope terran gets some sort of decent lategame tool, because their macro mechanic blows compared to zerg lategame and their tech units blow compared to protoss lategame. I just don't have any idea..

Remember you've suddenly broke the 2k barrier and you're starting to play good players. Right now I'm finding I'm playing some top 200 terran and he does some build e.g CC into double viking expand and i'm like "wow that is so little units, i'll just overun his nat and force him to lift and I'm way ahead" and I just steam roll the guy, or he goes 15 CC and plays passive macro and by the time he moves out at like 150 food I'm maxed on 4 base and I roll his army.
I'm sure the guy going double viking was going to harass the zerg's economy but it was too late, like when I was going P back in beta against a Z friend and my normal DT expo build wouldn't work even if i killed drones he was already so far ahead.
So probably what's happening is your opening builds/mechanics are off, and you're going into the midgame fighting on a slippery slope because the income advantages keep building on itself and you get taken down easily. You probably need to refine builds your gas timing CC timing etc and suddenly you might find your army is suddenly doing so much better your drops are effective etc.
