I had the two worst games of my entire gaming career. I went against one person who lost and ran around building hatcheries for an hour and a half until I rage quit. The next game I got proxy raxed. Needless to say I was so angry I broke a chair, punched a hole in the wall, and almost broke the laptop I use to game. I either need to get the fuck outta bronze league or quit. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qmqN4.jpg) I used to go to video games as a method of coping with things but now I need a method to cope with my video games. I will coach you in the art of terran young Padawan, for the sake of your computers health. | ||

The thing is, you're in bronze, meaning you have no mechanical skill whatsoever. One cannot begin to play the MENTAL game of Starcraft until you are on the GSL stage. Up until then, you are in a battle of who can click better. | ||

Yet I still hit masters. I would say the main reason why I got to my goal was the passion I had for the game. Every time I watched an event or a stream I felt involved and I felt a really good sensation. Then I go play the game and that sensation translates into the game. I suggest that you find something that motivates you and train yourself to use it subliminally. Also when you get angry, tell yourself that at the end of the day a loss or two, or even 10 losses in a row (trust me those suck) isn't going to kill you. Everyone has to lose at some point in time. Remember that Blizzard is trying to make you lose. | ||

These are problems that aren't really problems, but you've come to reguard them as major. There are hundreds of thousands of peopled in our country right now who are out of work and struggling to scrap by day to day. Countless others who have huge debts and no way to pay them off. Children in the inner city are going hungry and many have no prospects for the future. Meanwhile you're breaking shit because you can't win at Starcraft. Here's some advice: play the game and enjoy it. Even the losses. Lol shut up. There have been so many psychological studies done that shows that people normalize their psychological happiness to different centers according to their circumstance. I.E. he may actually be genuinely as physically unhappy (i.e. the same chemicals present in his brain) as someone who is struggling to pay off a debt. There have been so many studies that have shown once your basic needs are met your happiness doesn't really scale with wealth from there. That being said it does sound like you should work on your anger too. I get super angry and frustrated at Starcraft too sometimes. It's a natural response to caring about something. However I've never actually physically broken anything over a game. (I have punched my desk though). | ||

If ur not in GM or top 8 masters u should be happy with a 50% winrate, cuz that means ur playing at the right level for u. Also what are u getting mad at? That pesky opponent for cheesing you and 'oh cmon why do they allways cheese me' amirite? Urself for losing a game in bronze league? Guess what, no1 actually cares except for urself, ur only gonna get promoted if u keep ur cool and play to improve. Off course, every1 gets annoyed sometimes when they are on a losing streak or lose a silly game, if you feel ur getting annoyed just go take a break, do some pushups (works well), get a drink, go run outside I dunno. | ||

Regardless of nostalgia for previous games, time spent on the current one or contacts made and held through it: In the end, it's just a game. You spent money on it to have fun in your spare time. It's not your job, nothing depends on it. If you're not having fun, if it makes you mad - then just stop playing. Basically. | ||

This guy needs some perspective in life (as do we all sometimes), there's no reason to be breaking stuff (especially expensive stuff) because he's losing in SC2. | ||

 If OP still around: you should try to understand why losing makes you angry (no, it's not the proxy rax). gl | ||

Once that happened I never felt bad after a bad game of SC. :D Brother I feel your pain. On topic though, if you can't accept losing, you really should go play an rpg or something. Rts games are only really fit for people who can accept defeat and want to be better. It's pretty simple. If you actually think you can play pvp (player, not protoss) without ever losing, you're a fool | ||
