If i win too much, i will switch account, so i can still play relaxed, and then take the loosing streak head on, when i start playing another day. It is way less frustrating loosing a lot when you do not have the adrenaline from previous games still running in your blood. | ||

There's no such thing as a good starcraft game that lasted less than 20 minutes, and if I'm avoiding ladder it's usually because I'm sick on the bullshit. We need a better game... Honestly if you don't think battles should happen before 20 minutes then this probably isn't the game (or genre) for you. | ||

I just played against a bronze protoss top 8 who creamed me at 8 mins with 12 stalkers and 6 zealots. That's not even possible for a bronze player to accomplish at that level so yeah my opponent was a smurf and its the reason I rarely bother to ladder anymore because I'm not facing opponents of the proper league level. Did you check your opponents win ratio and see how many wins he has? Also check their last season's league. Most smurfs will have a high win ratio. However, tbh, a 4 gate can be pulled off by any league. All one does is follow the build, and he'll have all those units up your base regardless of league. | ||

A bronze won't have the timing down for a 4 gate to arrive 8 mins no freaking way in hell and anyways the guy is trolling bronze level players because hes high gold. He hasn't lost a game in 5 days yeah someone else was playing on his account would not be surprised if it was a pro player who asked for his account to play on. | ||

That guy seems like he could be high plat, not bronze. | ||

If you actively want to get better and you pursue your goals and have any shred of motivation you hit the find match button. If you have "ladder anxiety" then you either: a) are completely content with your current standing, and you mostly just don't want to go down. b) don't have any motivation c) don't enjoy playing 1v1 in the first place, but for some reason find yourself wanting/considering ladder periodically. d) think you're better than everyone and heaven forbid that be invalidated. | ||
