SEA Idra = Zanooku :P

nah he's not zerg and he is way more bm than Idra

I used to have this problem a lot.

Simply put, you're not better than your opponents when you lose. If you don't realise this then you will 100% get more frustrated.
I used to rage hardcore at CSS, calling other people no-names, rejects, fat, all because I didn't think they deserved to beat me Or I raged at my teammates believing everybody to be in the wrong but me.
When I started up SC2 I realised that every single loss is my own fault, other people deal with the exact same thing that I do but better.
Now there's definately times when I get frustrated because I lose badly in a game I shouldn't when I have an advantage and I throw it away and feel like the other person didn't deserve it. But if you're feeling this every game you lose you won't enjoy this game.
If you feel that Zerg is pigeonholed that hard into completely defensive play, maybe Zerg isn't the best race for you.

Watching Sheth's stream a lot I often hear him say things like 'well the only way he can get back into this game is if he goes x'. I feel the game gets a lot easier to deal with when you condense into small situations to think about.
A lot of the time with Zerg I feel the optimum thing to do whenever you defend a push is to tech or expand. Mutas are a great way to harrass somebody into submission when you get ahead, although they won't win the game, they will make it super easy to get broods which will defintely do that.
Roaches against Protoss are super hard to deal with when the Zerg gets even a little bit of breathing room.

To sum it up, if you don't like zerg, play something else, if you don't stop pretending you're better than everyone you play you WILL quit this game in a blaze of rage,

that's because you played cs source, terrible decision

I took a break from the game, re-evaluated my priorities and asked myself what I really want from the game.

I realised that I was mostly playing for fun, and playing to win, because it's always nice to win :P Playing SC2 made me severely stressed out, made me feel like I had to perform at the best every time. Since I'm obviously at a level where I'm competing against others of similar skill level, it's basically a huge gamble of my happiness :P

I realised, of course, that I need to sit down, allocate time and energy to allow myself to be at a point where I can play SC2 ladder, not rage and actively learn from the game.
Now that Uni's started, I don't have the time or energy to set aside to sit down and play/learn SC2. When I come home and plop myself down on the computer and looking to play a game to ease my mind off things, I'm looking for a low stress and low risk environment where there is a little breathing room (which is why I play LoL nowadays).

I do feel though that once I purchase a 2nd/3rd account for offracing I'll probably get back into SC2 ladder. That said, given my preference for LoL, I should just mess around in 4v4s as well :P

I tried LoL and got bored very quickly.

I still love you Meatex.

I had really big problems with rage for my first several months of playing SC2. I'm still not completely in the clear, but I feel as though I have much better grip on things now, and at worst experience disappointment rather than the pure anger I was previously prone to.

The circumstances probably aren't the same for everyone, but for me the main things behind my SC2 rage seemed to be:

* Being unhappy about other things. I had some problems IRL that were getting me down, and I was coming to SC2 for an escape, something to make me feel better. So when SC2 turned around and crushed me it would make me feel like absolute s**t. Starcraft wasn't really the problem though, I needed to find some things to be happy about and start making steps to fix my problems so my head was in a better place to start with.

* Aiming to win. As someone who mostly played WoW and single-player games beforehand, I found that I was very much in the habit of "winning". I had rarely had to deal with a game where the odds weren't stacked in my favour and I had a very real chance to fail - a lot. This takes some getting used to, and I still haven't completely conquered it. Hell, who doesn't enjoy a win? If you really want to be a good player though, you need to take the advice I have seen many top players give and stop playing to win, and instead start playing to improve. Find things about your game that you need to fix, and your losses can still be a success.

* Hating the game. There is always going to be a balance debate, sometimes there are valid points that come up, others not so much. Whatever the case, worrying about it doesn't help you become a better player. Raging about an OP Race/Unit/Strategy is a hindrance to your progress because you're ultimately absolving yourself of any responsibility in being beaten by it. There is rarely anything that shows up in the game that is actually unbeatable though, you just need do some homework, put your thinking cap on and find a way around it.

* Stressing about League/Rank. It's nice to get promoted and have a shiny little star on your badge, but ultimately these things do not matter at all. If you're losing a lot of games then sure, there is probably something you need to work on, but don't get sucked into worrying about your rank. Focus on the big picture, play your games and just worry about improving. Your ranking will take care of itself.

Those are the things I've worked on to try get my rage under control anyway. Maybe you'll find something in there that helps, maybe not. In any case, glhf!

TL;DR - Be happy and just aim to improve

I thought I was the sea Idra? Easily angered and vocal as hell.

Welp, now I have to look forward to something else. Thanks for taking it away from me T_T

But did you hear what Idra had to say about hellions
DAMN

He said that zerg are having trouble and we'll have to wait and see how zergs will be able to adapt. Can you believe the nerve >.<
He did save himself by saying in a week it will be found to be totally broken though

na i dont think your seas idra because people like him

Really? Whenever I watch your stream you're either bouncing along to DJ Ravine, or yelling at your teammates because they ate all the chicken...okay maybe you are vocal.

thanks for the constructive comment
But people do like me while you don't
Just like some people like Idra and some don't

And everybody loves Tgunn

tgun is the best in sea... at everything... even at being idra

No way
Tgunn is good and everything and ima let him be the better player
But FaDeMeatex is SEA's best Idra of all time
:P
Tgunn can outplay me every game using only his mouse but he can't outrage me nor can he out rant about T/P imba me so :P
