Lately I've been having this issue with my girlfriend and Starcraft. She loves playing games, and one of her favourites is Starcraft. We always used to play a lot of 2v2 together but lately she seems to get frustrated a lot. Whenever she loses she acts like its the end of the world. I try to console her and tell her I don't care if we lose but she has some notion that I'll like her less if she doesn't play as well or something. And whenever she asks me to play, it's not like I can say no. She'd be even more insulted. She'll reply with something like 'Fine. Go play League with your other friends ./rage" etc. :/
I'm just at a loss at to what to do. She's party leader usually, and likes to queue for 2v2s. And when she asks for a 1v1, well the results are kind of one sided which makes it even more frustrating for her. I just don't know why she puts this upon herself. :/
Edit: A lot of people suggest that I teach her the game. And I would, except she lacks an abundance of free time. She`s involved in like, 9001 extra curriculars so she doesn`t have much time to dedicate to the game @__@; Ah well..
Edit 2:
1 day later...
Tried just making it fun by doing stupid things. We were winning but she quickly caught on and got upset.
"idk, it's like, you're forcing me to have fun by doing stupid shit and you've given up on my ability to win a game straight up"
@___@ WHAT DOOOO. ; w;

I think she just wants you to give her a hug, because she is biting off more than she can chew, so she is like the damsel in distress and needs her knight in shining armor to rescue her.
|
Tell her what do to, chicks love that
|
Less starcraft, more sex.
|
Wow, she really takes her sc seriously. What league are you guys in for 1v1? Are you guys close in skill?
|
You deserve better, diamond league or bust

I wish. :/
I live at school most of the time which is an hours drive from her place.

I'm master, she's plat. She was almost diamond over the summer @__@;

She's only in plat?
Dump her.

Logging off Starcraft to play LoL is enough to make anyone rage at you imo.
Just humor her and help her get better. She wouldn't keep asking to play with you if she didn't get some kind of enjoyment out of it.

Let some bronzie play on your account, so she can win! : DD

Is she aware that masters are the top 2% of players in the world? O_o
|
why not go through the games together and work on improving like pros?
|
hellion/ling. you won't lose, and she'll be happy.
|
It sucks to feel like your the weak link in a chain. Try off-racing so your both at a closer skill level?
|
just 1v1 and LET HER WIN!!!!

Don't do this.
I recommend telling her to give you control, and you control both of your units + macro yourself while she just macro's her own stuff. Works fairly well for me + goldie gf and we have a lot of fun, and she doesn't get too stressed out. Plus it's fun and challenging for me heh.

if she's in plat she'll know if he lets her win

Play 1v1 and handicap yourself 80% so the games will be pretty even.
|
choose something lacking in her game and focus on it till she gets better at it. if she is platnum and your masters of course you're going to win. she need to work on the mechanics.

Imagine how she'd feel if she lost.
Pretty cool that you have a really competitive sc girlfriend though. Why not coach her with ladder and help her get better? Just like sit next to her and help her out, make her feel better when she loses, congratulate her on her wins.
