Just went on a 11 game losing streak on Monday after taking a break and watching mlg/ufc. What do you guys do after playing poorly and what do you do to make a comeback and make up for your loses?? Dropped about 150 points and about 30 ranks so I just played a lot of world of tanks yesterdays.

If i take a break then I end up not touching the game for maybe a week or two. I go on to play other games that I have.

I just take a break, it doesn't matter what I do during the break. My breaks can last an hour or a day it depends on my mood.

Just play some custom games, cheese the fuck out of someone and get your mojo back. It's like a "slumpbuster".

I smoke a woodtipped black n' mild, drink coffee from my huge mug, and watch some starcraft 2 streams. After I cool off I open up the Yet Another Build Order Tester and make sure my builds are 100% down. Then I go online to try again. If my friends wanna do 2v2s then do those, but if no one is on then I do 1v1s again.

i personally can't end on a losing note like that... i would keep playing (even on mass tilt) until i win.

if its really bad i use a cheese strat to pull off a quick win then quit for the day.

I usually just keep on playing until I get a win cause i can bare the thought of quitting when I've lost

Go on forums and complain how every race is OP even mirror games are Op. Or you can try to play some team games, some 2v2 3v3 4v4, kind of like.. if you cant beat them, join them.

After a long losing streak I make some coffee and have a smoke.

Then I nerdrage and punch my girlfriend until I feel better. (Kidding >.> )

Just take a break for a bit and calm yourself down, then go back to playing if you feel the urge.

Take a chill pill, toke a spliff, relax and play some custom games. Working out is also great to get rid of some stress from losing, push-ups, sit ups, lifting some weights etc.

Come back in an hour and continue to ladder :D

Pretty much this.

I can't stop unless the last game I played was a win

Each time I lose 5 in a row, I go play custom games for about 30min. Then I come back and watch my 5 replays at 2x speed and mostly watch the income tab... cause most of the time it went wrong cause of it and than go back to playing another 5... which will normaly result in more wins.

but in any case, NEVER stop playing for a long period of time since you're not improving at all.

Jump on my bike, get my pulse to 200 and drive arround until i cant go on no more.
After that iam super calm again which usually means that the streak is ended
