it's not a slump, you're experiencing a dive in your play level because you are learning new things and timings that you are not used to.

Every time you go back to your comfortable build order, you're not going to improve any further or learn anything new, except about timings related to that build.

You just have to take the losses and keep plugging through trying a new style/build order over and over. Same thing happens to me quite a bit when I begin to play a different style or a new build order - you'll lose many games from not knowing certain attacks were possible at that time vs your new build or unit composition, but that's how you learn - doing it over and over again.

if you go back to your 1 build, you're not going to improve any, which will in effect further your slump even longer term. So stick with it and if you are trying something new keep testing it until you think it's either obsolete or you know the timings better.

I'm having the same problem and i switched up races but that still didn't help since i went like 2-5 with protoss :/ but i wanted to switch it up and im slowly learning the timings of all the races. So i just recommend trying something new (custom games, play vs a,i, swap races, weird stratagies).
I Only Want You To Think Im Fantastic!

Playing other races actually helped me in certain parts of my Toss game. Always helps to get a fresh perspective and kills some boredom and repetition.
Jaedong gives me a deep resonance.

I hop around in boxers blaring "I don't feel like dancing".
I'm not stupid, a marauder just shot my brain.

usually i go about 60% win so win-loss-win-loss-win-win etc

yesterday i went 0-6, took a break, played some LoL, went to the pub, came back 3-1 my next 4 games before getting some sleep and going 2-1 this morning before work.

Slump over.
