So I barely avoiding a 10 loss streak and I got soooooo unbelievably angry
So in the hope of this allowing me to at least get some sleep I'm writing about my ladder sessions
After several good wins in 2v2 went to do some 1v1 ladder and the moons must have been aligned because I simply could not catch a single break. I played several randoms for some reason - more than I have played in my entire 1v1 experience (well not really but its closer than you would believe)
Every single one of them cheesed me and every single time I was simply unable to do anything because I guessed wrong. Then I would have to sit through 6 - thats right ******* 6 input limit reached errors between each game. Even just to load the multiplayer screen to search for another match I would get up to 2 of them. After losing a BS match it makes me so angry I really want to put my fist through my monitor
This and the abundance of bugs in ladder and bnet are why I have absolutely no faith in blizzard and really imagine what if a competent developer made SC2. Blizz are too busy extorting money from people trying to make a system to force players to buy custom maps instead of delivering on their promises like clan support and a ladder system that isn't as random. The former is going to cause a significant dent in the player base likely to get rid of any remaining casual players imo
So blizzards retardedness aside
I had bad luck at every turn. First against a toss on XNC his zealot wasn't on hold position so I drew him out a little and then was clicking for him to run through his base to get a scout off. My ling was running up the ramp and would have gotten in but for some reason for a split second turn and ran down the ramp - towards the zealot - before going where I told him. He died, I was unable to scout and guessed wrong (the scouting ovie was sniped before seeing anything)
I had another game - ZvZ on XNC where the guy sent a very early scout. He then proceded to put evo chamber blocking my gas so I cancel built at the other one. He canceled the evo and moved into position to repeat the process. I was taken a back and this had already broken my build order. Every time I tried to block it at the last second I was astounded that his evo chamber would actually push my drone out of the way unless it was directly centered on where he was building it. My drone should have blocked the evo chamber but in the process of moving towards where he was putting the evo down my drone would hit a wall and slide back.
The reverse situation happened to me in a ZvT where I tried to throw down a hatch at 15 but he got his SCV right at the edge but his worker didn't move and my hatch got cancelled - i quit the game
I got so many randoms and every time I lost on BO because I guessed wrong to the point where I just insta left games where I was against a random
I got cheesed by absolutely everyone and got so angry I now can't sleep.
Even after trying a 6 pool in a ZvZ I couldn't get a break as he decides he needs to 7 scout so he is able to put down a 9 pool
I am pretty obsessive compulsive and I need to get some good games where I feel like I made some sort of progress with my rank or my skill. If I cannot I am unable to sleep and I just chose the wrong race when I picked up SC2
And the worst hadn't come yet. I had another ZvP on XNC where I was speedling expanding and I manage to get a ling in his base and scout 4 gate coming. He had 1 gate at the time and I saw 3 warping in and of course started preparing. It made no difference because once he saw no roaches he just made only zealots and there was nothing I could do - even with 30 lings I couldn't even make a counter attack. Knew it was coming, prepared and still could do nothing.
This was against a player called AZKownage who after a very suspicious win streak did some looking around and found he was paying a site to level his account by 4 gating through ladder
This made me angry beyond belief - not only was my MMR destroyed by a GM using the account of a silver - but I couldn't understand why someone would do that. I reported him but like I said I have no faith in blizzard doing anything about it because I haven't seen any evidence that anyone at blizzard knows what they are doing or even care
So I have to wake up in 5 hours to get ready for one of the most energy intensive jobs in the world (teaching 7 year olds TT) and I'm not going to have any.

just practice, i played a game with him again, he 4gated me i held it off and raped him (i 15 hatched) scout 2, if your scared on a big map don't scout if you don't need to but make sure to put down spines. on maps like xel`naga, shakuras, lost temple and scrap station send your overlord in at about 5 minutes. It's a good time to do it.
I went on a 15 game losing streak... in Gold.
"Rough brother.., feel ur pain lol. Just remember any time ur on a losing streak it's not u, its toss and Terran are op. And if it's a mirror then the other guy is hacking. And if u make a huge mistake like sniping your own overlord filled with investors like I did today then still it's them hacking. Ur mind. Then just que up again and be the hero fighting against all this unfairness." - Signs, after I vented on Facebook
