i think im done

Bro, you're giving up too early. This world is for those who don't know how to give up. What would your father say? You shouldn't give up. You must keep fighting at all costs. So stop snotting. Rise and fight, warrior! And I'm sure you can beat your record and lose more games in a row

Even more funny is, the higher rank you have, the worse team you get, so get used to play outnumbered and carrying your team :D

I played lobpot and got gold and super close to platinum, then went on a losing streak all the way down to brown. Im blue now tho :)

I went from ladder rank 18 to somewhere below 100. I was almost purple.
But the more depressing part for me is that me losing tons of rating somehow didnt really help to get better teams...

That said, I think it's okay to give up sometimes.

Maybe, but is an obsure rts in the depth of the internet the place where you put your efford and energy? Let's be honest: There are tons of better activities you can do instead of wasting time with a team that does not deserve it and will only make you feel miserable. Go for something positive to replenish your energy. Life is short. And when you feel you don't care anymore, then you will be able to play zk again!

The entire second half of 2021 was like this for me. It does eventually turn around.

Nubrake sounds like you should stop playing lobpot and come join us merry few who care about coordination in Small Teams lobbies.

Even if I'm still a lob who loses a lot (and causes my team to lose sometimes) I still feel like myself and my team mates have a more enjoyable time in a smaller team game where we talk more and at least try to listen to each other amidst chaos.

And also throw in some 1v1 of course like suggested above. Unlike small teams you won't struggle to find players to play with.

Maybe that could help you appreciate your own skill level more. Sounds like you've been unlucky, and it's occasionally good to enjoy a 1v1 victory (or close loss) to remind yourself that you're skills are dope and this whole thing is NOT hopeless. And also that this is an amazing game based on an RTS engine with a design far more innovative than most RTS :shrug:

And then finally: get stronker. Less Q_Q more pew pew. Man, I've been in some medium-sized team games where my jaw just dropped at how one person carried the team from almost-sure defeat to victory. Usually Atosty -- I love/hate playing against him for this reason, but there are many other players by whom I felt inspired even as they whipped my ass to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

So maybe I can ask that as a productive question for this thread: anyone got some good replays of a determined player turning things around for their team? Doesn't have to be like l33t purple skillz or anything, sometimes less experienced players hit hard with basic good sense.

yeah... I've stopped playing for a similar reason. Most of the people who left are quiet about it. So, probably a good moment to discuss. one of the few.

lol chill check my elo graph
