What is the worst losing streak you have had? Mine would be to day I have been playing since about 9 AM it is now 8 PM. I have probably won a whole two games to day I got demoted twice from gold league to bronze league and feel incredibly ****ed over and now have the overwhelming urge to sleep has this ever happened to you?
Id rather just kill you and call it a day.

After I lost a game I should have won (huge huge advantage)...I went on to lose 5 more games. After that I felt like I've forgotten how to win for awhile.

I know for me it's mostly stupid stuff like not scouting my base properly if I know thier going to cannon rush me and getting supply blocked has killed me a few times to day.

I'm at 5 losses currently, it really sucks since I was doing pretty well lately...

On the other hand, I think those games there wasn't a roommate sitting next to me saying stuff like "build an OL, he's pushing out, take the expo, etc."

6 is my worst i think. I am an incredibly streaky player. I can go on 8-9 game winning streaks, and then lose the next 5 or so.

I think 9 was my worst I started to rage at 7 because all of them were cheese and I was playing super sloppy so I just quit came back two days later lost another 3 then I started to ROTFL stomp people back into T5 gold (13-0 winning streak). So I guess 12? but it was broken into 2 segments.

9 losses in a row, 5-21 total when I switched to Terran, then I came back as Zerg again and had my best win streak so far: 12 consecutive wins. I don't know how to explain it, but I had some kind of recharge in my zerg-mind...

Not had a real loss streak yet, but i've only played about 60-70 games though. Placement matches were a massive collection of fail on my end, so I ended up in Bronze. Up to Gold now, had a 10-match win-streak in Gold that was interrupted by a single loss and now starting a new win-streak again. I expect a promotion in not too long.

You guys are tough.

After 3 I stop. Period. Unless I'm playing a friend I chat with a lot.

On the ladder, I can't take more than 3. So, this probably explains why I'm not really good as well.

0-7. I stopped when I lost a TvZ where the guy massed speedlings and mutas and threw ovies and burrowed lings around the map so he could move in my base when i moved out. kept a couple thors inside my base to defend the mutas, but speed lings raped em, then mutas moved in to kill my base. i was on tilt and for some reason didnt think to leave a couple hellions in my bases along with the thors. We had a base race, but he build a hatchery in a random spot at like 7 minutes into the game, not at a mineral patch so i never found it...

then i won 2 games the next day and got promoted to diamond league. wtf?

3-21 I think on a day in which I didn't sleep the 30 hours before that and this was recently.
Didn't get demoted (was still above 50% winratio).

You like having someone screaming in your ear? Man.. when mij brother is sitting next to me and I try to micro / macro the shit out of my game, he still tells me "Make collosi they're awesome" "What I went stargate te.." "make pylons OMG" "Huh? I still got 4 sup.." "THEY'RE ATTACKING" "WHAAAT? It was a scouting scv.." etc... I get alot more stressed.

Anyway my losing streak is around 3. After a streak like that I mostly quit. And start it up again after a few hours.

Was placed in gold soared to the top with out difficulty. Noticed I kept being placed against Diamond and Platinum Players, won most. Then the cheesers emerged from the bowels of Diamond and Platinum with all their fury. I lost 6 in a row to various nonsense. I was raging so bad when I was finally placed against a gold player, I won and got promoted right afterward, everything went better then expected O.o? Now that I'm in Platinum I'm sure that losing streak could get worse. I haven't bunker rushed my self but after that 6th lost I was so close to giving in to the dark side just for the taste of victory again.

5 straight losses, thought it would was because I was playing against terran but those were only the two games. In BW it was way worse... Best win streak was 12 games in beta, 17-0 in BW.

144.

Going from no competitive SC game experience to ICCUP, I lost 144 games before I won one.
Around the 200 mark I hit D+, but before then, my score was, if memory serves, double digits.

Last Sunday I lost 7 in a row, I think 5 were to Protoss. Most days I would have quit after 3 or 4 but I had nothing to do all day and figured I could use the practice. Went from ~550 diamond to 400, haven't recovered since (at about 450).

My ZvP is sooooo bad.

Just broke my 8 game losing streak. It can sure be demoralizing. I got to meet the Korean 4 warpgate all-in build for the first 2 times...and I got proxy rax'd twice(and that hasnt happened for ages). Not trying to whine about cheese lol but when you don't face any for quite some time, you can get real lazy on scouting the map good. At least now I can practice on beating the "PYLONS IN UR BASE NOTHING U CAN DO LULZ!!" build. Never felt the urge to practice beating it as I never faced it until recently. Its ok though, they were all good lessons learned...and I've also decided to stop trying to 2-gate good protoss players... It just don't work like it did in gold/platinum league anymore lol.

One night i was doing placements, and then proceeded to do some games, i was about 12-0. I woke up the next day, went 16-0, and was happy. I got a zvz, got destroyed, i was 16-1. Alright i said, can only get better after that. Ended up at 18-12 overall.

probably 7 games... i give up usually after 4 losses. it sucks when you have the whole day to play and start off terribly because you want to continue on but at the same time you don't want to lose again. i raged when my internet crapped out after having a huge lead but on the 5th game of my losing streak......

like what a lot of people said here i am a streaky player. when i win i win a lot, when i lose... o boy does it get bad. also started off 2-11 after getting to diamond.

I'm with some of the players here: I can't play a lot if I'm losing. I lose 3 in a row I stop.

I get so tense playing that I get exhausted. It's so much to do and in battles my heart beats fast. I'm almost shaking at the end of the games.

This game is awesome.

That said my best win streak was only 8 or so... #1 Plat with ~700 points right now, maybe I'll end up in diamond? Anyone know how likely that is?

lost like 30 in a row but that was because the 4 of us were farming achievements in 4v4 bracket. 4 ppl having only mass infestors, a mothership, one high templar with a warp prism and one with only workers and 4 high yield expands dont do so well

That's the price you pay for trying to learn a new race from the bottom up while being stuck in top diamond because Blizzard won't let you smurf.

I hit 720 points and have been going liek 25-30% since then (since Friday). Ooof, FML.

I'm sitting at like 650 points, but that's with like 50 bonus pool points, so I've actually lost closer to 120 ponts since then.

i think i went 6 losses in a row to zerg, zerg, zerg, protoss, protoss, zerg.
The zergs either mass ling/roach or muta'd me, and both protoss 2gated.

a -3 ptbb/100 streak for abound 150k hands on nl100/50 after i crushed those limits for 500k hands >.<


in sc2 4-5 was the biggest streak i had in ladder i think after release. only happens when i play semidrunk at like 3am or later. found that the system adapts damn fast. just 3 losses in a row were the difference between getting matched against good 900++ players and very mediocre 550 players(diamond ofc). but my overall ladder game number is still pretty low (not even 100) so maybe the MMR jumps are still a bit big.

A friend and I got placed silver in 2v2 during Beta. We weren't terrible players we just got some bad luck (dropped internet during two placements, unexpected cheese on another) so we were placed below our level.

The game read our minds however, they must have seen my other leagues and thought it was wrong because the game proceeded to match us up against 13 Diamond league teams in a row.

Now we aren't terrible players but we aren't a coordinated 2v2 team in such a way that the Diamond players were. It got to the point where I'd ask them what they were ranked at the start of games just to see if we had gotten matched up again...

The game never figured it out that we can't hack that level of play and continued to do it to us right until Beta close. I haven't had an opportunity to play 2v2 with him in retail yet.

8, resulting in a broken keyboard and a blog post on TL =). The first three were cheese, then I got six pooled and barely lost, then I just got frustrated and did stupid shit and lost four more. Went from 400 diamond to about 310, and I'm kind of surprised I didn't get demoted. At least it finally got me to buy a new keyboard for the first time in 12 years lol.

Got promoted from plat with a decent W/L 18/7. Kept playing and beating diamond players. Eventually started getting matched up against "top diamond" players. Got destroyed. Went 2-7. Went to play 2v2 and practice my other race.
I am not nice.

in SC2, i believe only like 3 or 4. But in BW, i had a point where i was 1600 , then didnt win for like a day, falling to about 800. so thats like 16 or so? then i followed that up with reaching D+ for the first time, the next day. I'm very streaky as you can see.

Went from 2'nd in my diamond division to 40'th and 700 rating to 480 after going 2-14 one night. But managed to win it back over the next two days.

Not to get off topic, but reading this thead it's pretty obvious that people are losing a lot of ranks, sometimes in a single loss, due to cheese. Does anyone think points earned or lost should be scaled over time spent in a single game? I'm not trying to write off cheese as being cheap, personally I feel it's part of the game, but at the same time losing your rank so quickly can be devastating to your W/L ratio, which in turn can effect the difficulty of your opponents due to the new matchmaking system.

I just think it's something to consider, and may make games more interesting as people wouldn't be so aggressive to get games over with as fast as possible if they knew winning an hour long game would be the same as winning four fifteen minute games. Of course for the other person it would be like losing four fifteen minute games.

Curious to hear what everyone thinks, should points be scaled over time spent in game, or should you be punished for not scouting properly?

That's the price you pay for trying to learn a new race from the bottom up while being stuck in top diamond because Blizzard won't let you smurf.


That seems silly since you can just use custom games to learn a new race...

Got all the points back the next day but very bad losing streak.

hmm must have been like 4-5 games in a row. Not to bad I think.
Bigger Problem is that I rarely have any winning streaks. Max is like 2-3 wins in a row.
Well I guess that Matchmaking systems is working for me. (Diamond)

I've had an 8 game losing streak back in beta: I got promoted to diamond and played 4 games and won. Next day I log on and start playing and just get endlessly raped 8 times in a row, needless to say I didn't play 1v1 for a few days. I don't BM or rage but I hate losing because of stupid mistakes that I tend to make, so if I feel like I'm going downhill in 1v1's I'll play for a while with friends to relax, clear my head, and try a few fun things out.

my cut off is 4, after that I quit the game for a while... has only happened once I think when i was still playing random on ladder and I got terran 3 times in a row (at the time i didn't know the cheesy build orders) and then got a protoss (which i was happy with) and i lost cause I was still pissed.

now i'm zerg and was happy ^^.

I always quit playing if I lose 3 games in a row or if I feel my mind isn't in the game.

My biggest losing streak is 3 or 4. The matchup system does a pretty good job of lowering the competition when you start losing alot.

It's crazy to see people have upwards 20 game losing streaks. Must be in total meltdown mode for that to be possible.

I generally get in a state where I'll keep playing till I win, which leads to some losing streaks. On the other hand, I usually only have like 3 losses before I get some winning streaks, and I've got a 60% win ratio anyhow.

I have been playing custom for a while and I finally decided to play some real games. I lost to a void ray and stalker masser, then to a roaching mass banshee player then to a guy who turtled up in his base and got mass void rays. after that I just smashed my face against a wall till it bled "no joke" just because I can beat a bronze player who plays strait up but with people who cheese all the time I can't do shit.

I think you just have to learn to deal with it, it's part of the game whether it's less impressive or less enjoyable than having a long close game.
I don't think you could scale points with time, people would just abuse it by playing games out longer when they know they could finish it.

Went 2-16 one night. I couldn't stop playing until I'd win ONE GAME but never did. :D

Most of the games were ZvT and in the end it just felt like nothing worked, even though my play was getting really bad at that point. Haven't forced on keeping playing after that - not cos it fucks your ratio but just because it isn't useful or fun at all.

Lost 8 games in a row in the beta, all ZvP, all to 4 gate. Frustrating, but I got much better at defending 4 gate from watching the replays.

Four, games, one ZvZ and three ZvP.

Sometimes I just don't get ZvP. I might win when I didn't expect to or I might lose without really knowing what I could've done about it.

My worst is six, but I've certainly had a few 4-5 game losing streaks as well (often contributed to by disconnects followed by tilt, or bad losses followed by tilt). I seem to win and lose in streaks tho; win three, lose three. Aweful losing streak then great winning streak. I rarely trade games (win one lose one). I also have bad losing streaks after logging on for the first time in a while, then winning streaks when I warm up.

i lost to stupid shit like running my infestors with over 100 energy to their deaths, trying to flank with zerglings but manages to a move into their base and die and getting my hydras stormed and not moving out of it. was so pissed by my poor micro and went on and played. next game first thing i do is not make a drone first but to micro the drones to their mineral fields, first i missed, tried selecting half, selected all of them and went on and missed the mineral patch so i selected all of them and hit the mineral patch this time, selecting half, oh no i selected all of them and missed the mineral field.

20 seconds later i still hadn't mined at all and no drone in the making.

i ragequitted, don't play when you're pissed at yourself. :<

then i got cannon rushed twice and 6 pooled once before i threw my headset into the wall and broke it. i did not play much more that night.
