You must be young as you seem to have an abundance of "fake problems". 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). Yes, how could I be so foolish. Clearly living out of a car = losing in SC2. 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.
The guy agreed with half your post, the part about breaking stuff, and you're still sarcastically hunting straw men =(
For someone who's not already in masters, you (OP) take the game way too seriously. I'd look up gheed's blog or some funday mondays to get your mind right. And in the most backwards way, you'll probably end up improving at the game just through more playtime despite not trying anywhere near as serious.

I know what you are feeling. I barely won a PvZ and the guy spent 45 minutes building hatches everywhere and I patrolled warp prisms, left zealots at minerallines, and still almost lost.
Your current situation requires more patience than most people are capable of if they are competitive and not incredibly good mannered (not saying you aren't  )
|
How can this happen? I dont understand... Hatches take forever to build, cost a lot of minerals and doesnt even attack, how can you almost lost to that?

not bragging or anything, but bronze is pretty easy to break out of, all you really need is decent macro
I suggest you go play some 4v4's to just practice macroing under pressure (since bronze 1v1 people are too passive) and once you're comfortable go back to 1v1 (that's what I did)
also this removes the need to worry about matchups and strategy and scouting etc so you can just practice the basics without all these other strain which makes it more difficult
|
If you're raging this hard, I'd suggest you don't play, or go play team games with friends while you get a better handle of the basics of the game.
I can understand being angry at yourself/the game, but what you described is a good sign you shouldn't be playing...
|
Seriously get some anger management or something, even the best players in the world fucking lose, that's how GAMES work. Really if you gave two shits about getting better at this game at all, you would look up a real build, and be out of bronze in less than a week. I have absolutely no sympathy for you, you are just being a lazy ignorant asshat.

are you angry at how bad you are or how bad they are.
know the difference dude
|
Get a friend play 2 or 4v4s.
Also just macro. Spent 1 day and just figure out all the hot keys and how to macro up. Forget anything else. Mediocre macro is the basis of cutting down 3/4s of what can kill you.

I'd offer to help you get out of bronze league, but I'm afraid you'll get pissed, reach through the internet and snap my neck

You're confusing bronze with gold
To get out of bronze all you need to know is how to build attacking units that properly counter the opponent. Also it helps to know the game doesn't have an inbuilt NR20 rule in it. Most bronze league players simply do NOT attack at all..ever...
Seriously...that's it.

Just keep playing if you enjoy it, but if losses are too hard for you then don't feel as though you must continue.

I used to get angry, hell, I still do, when I lose games, but nowadays, I just turn on some music and play because I want to.
Why, just yesterday, I got 4Starport Cloaked Banshee-"rushed", and you know what I did? Starting making those Void Rays, and went on to win.

When I starting play. I very disappointing and very sad after my lose. If you want to make one goal to win. you must lose. You can't win all games. We are people, you make mistake. You are not computer. And if you understand your mistake, when you lose you can make analysis game and continue to play and try to fix it and it's no problem. More GG, More Skill.

How about, instead of breaking stuff when you lose a game, you try this instead.
1. Look at the replay of the game and determine why you lost.
2. Through the replay, determine how you can win next time you are faced with a similar situation. If you don't know the answer, view other people's replays or search strategies or even post something in this forum asking in a constructive way how'd you go about improving your gameplay.
3. Admit that you may have made a few mistakes. Forgive yourself, learn from it and don't repeat it.
4. Hope you get matched with the same person again and show them who's boss! Or show everyone who's boss. If you lose, start at point 1 again.
:D

What a dumb thread, def quit and go get professional help.

Where did you go King Snake my love?

If your bronze after 40 wins then your doing something wrong, it has nothing to do with your opponents. Try and get a plat or diamond to help you with your game but remember to be open minded..
If you want as a diamond protoss i could play with you in some 1v1s.
I got placed in bronze and after a month of little gaming but a good amount of watching (GSL) i got to plat. Just understanding the game can get you out of the bronze silver gold area.
