What do you guys do when you get on losing streaks? I was in the same situation as you ( tried to get into top 8 master a few seasons ago, tried to play about 10 ladder games per day. Suddenly I started loosing..alot.. I thought if I continued playing a few more games I would start winning again, but i never happened. I think I had a 10 loss streak. I was so upset that I didn't play for months. Best thing when you start loosing (3 games usually does it for me) I just shut the game of, do something else for a few hours. If you try to play more when you're mad you'll just loose more and more. Thats my experience anyway. | ||

When I'm on a losing streak I keep playing if I feel in shape(i.e. when I've played less than ~2 hours, after that I'm often too tired to keep playing). I'm trying to make myself not lose my temper, not think about losses and always start the game with a "gl hf  " and never blame Blizzard/cheese for my losses. Due to the MMR system you'll get matched with worse opponents and start winning again, so it's nothing to worry about. The losing streak may also be caused by recent successes, and your MMR rose a bit higher than you could handle. | ||

Putting myself through all this crap just isn't worth it for me anymore. I realize what I'm doing wrong (can't seem to ingrain scouting into my play), and I try to work on it, but apparantly I'm unable to improve with the amount of time I have available (~2-3 games pr night usually). I've played around 500 ladder matches total, and still I'm incapable of scouting. I guess RTS isn't my thing. I honestly think SC2 is a progamers game. Not really any point playing it at a casual level. So yeah, I think I'll start doing real life stuff instead. GL to the rest of you. | ||

i fight so hard but i am not capable of gaining more than 40 ladder pints in my division. i try to gain a mindset of "ladder points count nothing, skill is earned by losing and learning from your losses" but my brain just can't adapt to this thesis. i'm so sick of losing after a 1win-5loss streak that im on the verge of quitting, too. problem is that i had quittet before (out of frustration) and when i wanted to start again, 8 months later, my skill dropped enormously but my MMR is still the same than before the break. which leads to even more losses. so i try not to give up right now even how frustrated i am, even how angry i am at myself, i have to play at least 3 games a day so that my mechanics don't suffer too much. to improve i should play way more but my frustrated mind can't handle the rage of winning 20% of the games. think i am sick, its not like ladder anxiety: im so motivated to play but after the first loss i can't manage to gain a clear mind (but it's subtle because i don't notice it in the game. only in the replay these things are shown) i will try to achieve my goal of playing at least 3 games a day! | ||
