Plummetting to Gold...

Seriously I'm not sure what keeps me uninstalling Starcraft 2 anymore. Every game is a ragefest, I must be on a 20 loss streak right now, I am messing around in ladder, recently got demoted to Platinum from Diamond, right now playing Random, losing to everything on any matchup on any map, seriously if I didn't buy my new computer recently, I'd fucking burn it to pieces with this rage right now. I don't even care anymore, lost the game? Alright, quit and start again and to lose that again.....

What should I do? I still like the game, I've got the mechanics to play with all three races, it's just that my timings, my decisions and my planning sucks almost everytime. I just don't know what to do. If WoW didn't suck so much and was comparable to the Vanilla-BC times, I'd say to hell with this game I'm playing WoW, but since it sucks so much right now, I have no idea. Single player games only go for so long.

Macro doesn't help when Terran slowpushes you to death and you gotta deal vikings and all that thing, tank positioning....it gives me nightmares..

Macro only helps to some degree.

I'm pretty sure I could get at the very least high diamond doing just bio as T or meching with terrible army management. Can't imagine a player with decent macro not getting out of gold even with poor control.

seriously… if you lose you won’t be too upset.. if you win you will be happy.. you may even get your opponent to rage instead.
Play some 3v3s or 4v4s… playing games on tilt will just make you more upset when you lose.

Cannon rush, two port banshee, 6 pool on small maps.

My nickname is depressing, my life is depressing, lately SC2 is depressing, things are going great for about 8-9 months for me.

Why post if you have nothing to add?

I am not in an environment to improve at all. None of my RL friends play SC2, I don't have too many ladder friends since contrary to what people think, practice partner thread does nothing to help you find people...even if they are online they are either busy or something.. then I just can't improve. I am not sure what to do for the first time since retail I'm playing players from gold..I'm that bad right now. I started Protoss, was absolutely terrible. Switched to Zerg, made to Diamond last December. After another huge losing streak, switched Terran, and got to diamond about a month ago. Now I'm losing left and right and don't know what to do.

Exactly... as I said u answered ur own question.
U wonder why u lose when u say u got the mechanics (basics) to play with all 3 races but don't really know any timings or anything with the races.
Well that's about gold/plat level I'm not too amazed about that.
It also sounds like u got some mentality issues while playing, u gotta play to win, otherwise there is no point in playing at all.
Breaks help a lot, sometimes when I play bad, I just take a break for a week or a few days. And usually I play much better after that break.

U want to improve? Pick a race, learn some builds, practice those builds every game, u will get to masters.
It's not that hard really, there's like 3 of these threads every day.

It doesn't when they camp at a choke and sit there for whole game. I try to go around, find openings to harrass...but he has tanks there aswell...I do some damage, kill some buildings, then lose my army. I've never felt this desperate, this hopeless, this angry playing this game. I just wish I never switched races. It fucked me up in the long run. I'm a fucking idiot.
