What's your longest losing streak? Not counting streaks where you decided to mess around and do something silly like triple expand before making units.

I just got hit with a 10 loss streak that made me a little bit sad =( Worst one prior to that was about 5.

Even with matchmaking which eventually should get you players who you can win against, I have a feeling someone out there will have gone on some kind of ridiculous 20+ losing streak to put mine to shame.

Mine has been about six. I don't really mind losing at all because I can learn from it, but the way the matchmaking is where I will win 5 games and then lose 5 games then win again is a bit annoying. I have definitely seen a pattern of this swinging of my MMR, and I wish I could just be placed randomly against people instead of having this ebb and flow.

mine is going on 15 since the ladder system decided two people dropping from the game in a row meant i was uber 1337 and bumped me up to 13th place in a platinum division(from 30th in 3bar gold)

In Starcraft 2? About eight. The MMR usually puts me up against a silver league something if I get more than four losses, though...

In Warcraft 3 I hit a 22 game losing streak with smatterings of disconnects here and there. I finally got the win to break it against a Human player who started talking shit after I creepjacked him. I BM'd back like a boss just because I was so upset, and when I outexpo'd him and 1a'd into his base

felt so gooood

My longest losing streak was about 9 I think. Kept me motivated to play more though. I always get more motivated when I lose.
Nada fighting!

I've been through a tough evening, when my ZvT was sooo bad...
I also had a 10 loose streak I play 8(!) Terran lost to all of them in every single fucking way, I met 1 six pool and 1 2gate which I couldnt fend of... damn I was pretty much down... Then I played 3 2v2 won all of them nearly alone and I got back to 1on1 and won the first game and logged of :D

I think I had 7 before I raged. 5 were disconnects, when I was spamming Select Drone or Build SCV and the Surrender screen would pop up.

I had probably a 10 loss streak after switching from Terran to Protoss. What was really annoying was that a lot of those losses came from 1-base Terran all-in attacks.

I decided to play T today and ran into another 1-base all-in Terran. Since I was T it didn't work--expo, micro, gg 1-base-noob-T.

(missing two losses off the top)

I have had about two loses like that... It's the worst thing ever :S they need to fix that button so you have to click it and click an are you sure question. Both of my loses I was going in for the kill and it popped up while I was clicking the screen to attack >.<

^^ This is the same for me as well. I really dislike how I will get matched against higher level Diamond players until I loose a few in a row and then I get about 5-6 games in a row against super low Diamond or even mid-high Platinum players! This means I will usually win 5-10 straight (or close) and then loose about 2-4 games, rinse and repeat. This makes me a sad panda
Being weak is a choice.

I always go on losing streaks after i go on a nice winning streak. I think my worst is like 10 losses in a row. I was up +20 games and now its more like +4 after my awesome losing streak.

I think six in a row is my worst but I could be wrong. Two were disconnects though because my brother thought it would be fun to restart our router throughout the day.

1-12, or something in the style of that, first 5 loses we're okey, even games and lost on the line, then it went straight to hell, started allining doing weirdest and stupidest strats I've could come up with. And then came the rage. And went further. Stopped playing the day after for a while. Couple of hours I was back in action and going strong !

Had a 8 match losing streak, partially because I was e-raging and threw away matches because my girlfriend was sucking in our 2v2s.

I think my worst was around 8. But I only won the next game because I got put up against a gold level player (I'm platinum).

You play 2v2's with your girlfriend? That's kinda awesome. On topic, worst streak was around 10 when I switched back to Zerg. Fun stuff.

About 9-10. Apparently having these periodic losing streaks is normal though as if you have a more than 50% win ratio, your MMR ends up inflated beyond your skill until a series of stronger opponents pushes you back down to where you belong .

Me and my friend have been trying to get 2and3way domination achievements in team games - with the remaining ones being our offraces - and so far we lost about 20 or so in a row. Can't believe we haven't yet been demoted lol.

When getting upgraded from plat to diamond, my internal rating must have been really inflated (and I suppose I just lost to some stupid stuff) and went on a 6game losing streak to plop me down into lowish diamond, working my way up though

My friend started to play with random, changed race from Terran. And after first few loses he just couldn't stop, and continued playing. He started to quit right after first mistake he made in a game. He had been playing from 10p.m. till 5 a.m. Not a single game was won.

I lost 10 in a row a couple nights ago... I was really down but the next day I turned it straight around into a 5 game win streak. It really sucks because I'm rank 2 plat so at any time I could be a couple wins from diamond.

I heard morrow had a pretty epic one since switching to zerg. He went from like 1800 to 1500 in one day, which is probably at least 20 losses considering he is probably up against people who he's favored to beat most of the time.

My personal streak has been 7 or 8. lately been getting a lot of 6-8 game win streaks, followed by 4-5 game losing streaks.

EDIT: ya, didn't check that link before I posted lol ^^

The day I worked on my pvp I had a streak longer than 30+, now after that I forgot how to play pvt and pvz :D

In ladder I can't say but I have even miore than 40-50 losing streaks in customs when I really want to learn something new, I tend to be a fast learner but I execute it badly.If I tried something silly I guess it would get crazy :D

that's why I got a bad attitude when playing ladder...after 30 lost games man! xD

I switched from Terran to Zerg, safe to say having a record that's like 9-31 doesn't go down to well


Just played two games as Terran again, won both.... I feel so dirty

I went from rank 5 in my league down to 50 because I lost 6 (4 were discs in the first 2 minutes I swear! D: ) games in a row and took a 2 day break. Came back with a 10 win streak though, put me back in top 20.

When I went from protoss to zerg I had a big losing streak lost around 450 points. The biggest losing streak I have had as protoss was 7 losses in a row.. biggest winning streak was 9 wins in a row.

Day[9] recently talked about a 12 games losing streak. Even the best of us have off days! (though he did say he probably should have stopped before that, lol)

I think my longest was about 4, but I haven't played enough games yet, really.
