So? What's your point, OP? Almost everyone has about a 50% win ratio, even diamond league badasses. Professional BW players are considered fantastic if they have a 60% win ratio! You can't look at the win/loss column to determine how good you are.

If the game is upsetting to play then stop.

I agree with the iccup sentiments, too. I had about a 30% win ratio for over a year in D (out of about 400 games - and that's NORMAL!)

I'm ok with the whine part of your blog if you are willing to do something about it.

So, what are you gonna do about it?

You are 2-9 and made a blog about it. So when are you getting to the trying part?

I've had worse streaks, you learn from those the most.

If you don't get frustrated then you aren't human. Take a deep breath, then keep going. That's life.

It really does get very frustrating, OP, but remember that you're playing for fun...if you aren't feeling that it's fun at all, there's no point in playing.

Seriously, how can you get better if you don't lose? You don't get better by winning. I've gone on losing streaks this bad before, but it only makes me better. This applies to even high 3000 rating diamond players.

how bad was yours?
i kept on trucking the whole season and ended up going 4-71
next season i hit D+

My first season I was like 0-10 kik



0-10 is good, My first season on Iccup ( 2008 i think) i went 0 - 27 ( I was able to beat most of my friend, and thus kept trying to win a game ) , and finished 12-85 :D . I could still describe the game where i grabbed my first win ( Lurker imba).

I only hit D+ for 2 games the next season ^^", but got closer to a 50/50 ratio.

My first season I was 2-74 or something around this. Never lost the fun of playing though. Never got past D+.

Edit: just checked on iCCup, my first season I finished 1-7. Second season I went 33-104.

You keep on trying because no matter how frustrating it is you love playing the game.

Bad practice is almost as bad as no practice imo. you lost a shit ton of games but why? You must be doing stiff wrong so correct it and then start playing again. Mass gaming with bad habits only makes you worse
