To the people who get really anxious playing ladder games: What league are you in when you do play? If you have never done placements, what is stopping you from at least getting placed?

In my experience everyone I tried to get to play SC2 with me that ended up having ladder anxiety placed so much arbitrary significance onto league placement. They were either terrified to be placed in bronze or ended up in bronze and got disheartened every time they lost. "Man I can't even beat people in bronze league there's no way I'll get any better"

People are weird.

Clicking the "Find Match" button is 80% of the battle fighting ladder anxiety. Once you click it the rest is simple.
Throw on your favorite jacket and you're good to roll. Stroll through the trees and let your miseries go.

Sure, but I kept finding myself stopping after 2-3 games only.

Not sure if there is an exact equivalent, but in German we say that you should treat others exactly the way you want to be treated. So don't treat her like a game.
And yes, SC2 is a Lady.

It's a pretty old saying :D

The German version is better. It rhymes.

I had a massive drop in ladder anxiety when I came back to SC2 after playing a ton of Dota2 and Hearthstone. I'm having more fun, and raging (at least somewhat) less. You realize that there's so much more out there in the gaming world (let alone life in general), so as long as you're not trying to make it as a pro, it really doesn't make sense to be concerned with what may or may not happen in any individual game of Starcraft.

In fact, the entire stigmatization of ladder anxiety is a little silly too imo. It's hardly a crime to simply enjoy playing 4v4s or Nexus Wars or something more than one enjoys ranked 1v1s. After all, plenty of people feel the same way; join just about any lobby in the arcade and you see plenty of people with really low character levels but super high stats in whatever that UMS is. It's pretty easy to lose sight of the super-casual community, especially on a site like this that focuses pretty much exclusively on the competitive 1v1 aspect.
