Whenever I get the urge to hop on counter-strike, I usually am 90% better than when I stopped playing, but this is the opposite for me in SC2; I start rusty after long absences and get better as I keep playing frequently.

Haha, i'm the opposite of you. Hop onto CS:S after a month and I'm terrible. Hop onto SC2 after a month and I'm pro status(in my mind)~
Haha.
you are perfect porcelain.

I wish this happened to me, I havent played in about a week, got back on and was greeted by an about 8 loss streak and I feel a demotion is close.

Happens to me too, though not so much in sc2 as in other games/activities. Mostly I don't do as well in sc2 if I'm not current on what strategies everyone is using, and since I play random I have to keep up on a lot of matchups. But it definitely is noticeable in fps games. Sometimes I'll get onto cs or quake and just tear up a server for a couple rounds, realize how well I'm doing, and start sucking again. Or I'll get on rhythm zone after remembering that I still have it on my computer and completely smash my personal best. It never wigs me out until after I finish playing.
