Ladder failing

I've had bad losing streaks before, but really now. This is getting ridiculous. I've gone 0-6 in my last six, and 3-15 in my last 18. During this streak, I've had the additional unpleasantness of being taunted for being terrible (and those were the games I won...) and being trolled by a guy who literally opened up the game with "You're terrible. This is going to be an easy win." before 2 rax scv all-inning me on close positions metal.

And it's not just cheese. In fact, in this stretch, I've lost to cheese only twice. Mostly it's a long stretch of zvzs, but a fair bit of everything. Mostly I've been losing macro games. Either I didn't drone enough, I misread the build, scout him last, I mean, I'm running out of explanations even for my terrible-ness. Sheesh. I don't get frustrated that easily at this game, but man. Last season, I had 20 more wins than losses, was top diamond, regularly facing--and beating--Master leaguers. Is it possible to actually get worse at this game?

Well. Whatever. Who's up for League of Legends?

Yeah, it definitely is possible to get worse at the game. I play probably only 10 games a week, and due to that my skill level in comparison to other people has dropped consistently since launch. The biggest problem is, when I do force myself to play a lot of games my frustration at my lack of ability compared to other people these days tends to tilt my horribly.

I'm going to try the method Idra discussed on inside the game "Don't get angry at the game - get angry at the person you're playing against." Maybe that will help.

Good luck on overcoming your slump.

I would recommend playing team games. Anytime I lose 3+ games in a row in 1v1, I switch to team random games. You should be able to easily roll over most people in team games, a lot of them are pretty bad in terms of micro/macro/pressure management.

Agreed. Team games are hilarious. Especially with friends.
