Society educates them into this direction, so they can boot out everyone else in their jobs later, while keeping a fake positive mind set. The only bit i find annoying is that they bm while ignoring you, simple because they are unable to deal with replies. Just a funny comic http://xkcd.com/1027/ ladder looked alot like this though, before they have found the ignore all button. But most people don't talk on ladder, simply because they need it to ignore the bm going on, so i don't mind no ggs, those people just don't want this easy taunts etc. Thats the best xkcd I've ever read. It applies to so much beyond gaming or picking up girls. | ||

If you lose, it's your fault and you can learn from it and just take all the positives from that game and forget about all the redundant information. If you rage after a loss that's a mentality problem. There is always an answer to what you lost to, even though it might not be evident at first. Of course there can be an occurence where something is on the edge of being wonky/"imbalanced" but instead of wasting time being mad about it, convert that into motivation to find a way to deal with it. Taking breaks in-between games is also a good way to recollect thoughts, process the game you just played and to get some movement and distraction before you go for another game. Always gg tho! (And if you don't feel like getting provoked by your opponent, F11 -> block , then at the end of the game unblock) | ||

Of course it's not nearly as much fun as winning, but I do catch myself smiling time to time when someone out plays me. Especially if they are in a lower league. But if I lose to something like a canon rush, I just might stick my tongue out at them and let out a big sppplllllllllllllltttttttt. | ||

It's getting better now though, trying to simply accept loses and move on, if you don't play you will obviously suck, so there's no reason to get depressed that you suck if it will stop you from getting better. | ||

 *boohoo* lol..One of the biggest things that frustrate me is the Protoss Deathball. If I can’t manage to cripple them or take them out and they tech up to Colossus, gateway units and HT’s I get owned every time. Most of the time I avoid their army like the plague, because I feel like there’s no way in hell I can take it head on. Even if I have 3 vikings for every colossus and have several ghosts to carpet bomb them with emp’s. Those storms just obliterate me. Don’t think I’m qq’ing about balance. I know it can be done, I’ve seen a lot of great players do it, but I can’t seem to figure it out myself. It’s usually the transitions into the mid to late games that get me with Zerg and Protoss. Owell I’ll just keep trucking along, but yes this is probably one of the most frustrating games I’ve ever played. | ||

There's no way I could ever know how good I really was, or could have been. .... It's a game of truth, and there is little to no luck involved when you really get into it. There's no such thing as a lucky shot. .... That's why I respect it and the people who play it seriously so much. I watch my players pour their hearts into a game that never forgives weakness. I watch them challenge themselves, and it honestly is an emotional journey..... Why aren't you the best? Why are they winning and you're losing? What's wrong with you? I think that the people who can brush it all off are the people who don't really care, but not caring is not the same as being strong. Starcraft 2 is a metaphor for the essential human experience, as is everything else. You express yourself honestly, you take a chance, you give it your all and whatever echoes back is what you have to accept as truth for the time being. You win, you lose, you get made fun of, you get hoisted up on shoulders. I think the only reason people can laugh at those who get mad at a game is because they have never honestly risked giving 100%. Otherwise they'd understand. It's not the medium that matters, it's the fundamental experience of self-discovery. That's why it's so amazing to watch and be a part of. It's got characters, and they have stories, but it's real and it's raw. There's no glamour in breaking a keyboard because you don't know if you can believe in yourself after losing to someone you thought you were better than. If you honestly don't learn anything about yourself playing Starcraft 2, you're doing something wrong. I have made an excerpt of your comment Chimera. Personally, the above describes my view and experience on Sc2 quite beautifully. | ||
