I noticed some of the top players had winning streaks of 10+ and some even over 20+ games. Now lets try reversing WINNING streaks into LOSING streaks.

Ive only played about 20 games so my longest losing streak is 4 (2 games people afked within first 5 minutes and another two that could've gone better). What is everyone's worst or longest losing streaks? :new: :)

I think my longest was 6, because I seemed incapable of winning any games that night.

That's the problem.
After 3 or 4 lost games you think "the next one has to be a win" and if you lose again you're caught in a vicious circle.
Best tip: Just don't play for a while until you get the feeling that you're able to enjoy a game again wether you lose or win.

There was a thread on the old board,similar to this one. It was entitled "Humiliation Conga". Iirc, the best answer was to switch to another faction pro tem - a change is as good as a rest - or to take a couple of days out.

I'm on a pretty massive losing streak/slide down through the ranks right now, but because I play all the factions it's spread out. It's -5 if you add up the last five games I played: 2 losses for US, 2 losses for OKW, and 2 losses for Ostheer. I guess I can be glad my Soviet streak is at +1 because my ranking has fallen enough for me to get matched up against terrible players.

Yeah, I definitely kept on digging a deeper hole unnecessarily.

I just wanted a win D:

I have never really had a high losing streak in 1v1s.. maybe -2 or -3...random team games though? -5 to -7. Super frustrating playing with randoms against organized teams but I couldn't care less about 3v3 and 4v4 stats.

Still...I should definitely find a team anyway.

I think I had -15 or -16 combined Sov/Ger

-12 with Soviets (small arms patch time) I finally had enough of G43/LMG spam and switched to Ost.
Next 3-4 games I got complete noob teamate so I ended up with losing streak even with OP Ost (at the time)

:gimpy: (all random 2v2 games)

Dont expect to go on sick streaks playing 4v4 with randoms only.

My highest was 9 or 12 btw.

I remember i once had a -8 streaks as soviets, It's not that i was playing bad, it's just that for like 7 games i was playing like the top 50 over and over again. So i had a -7 streak. Then i thought to myself, OKAY TIME TO END THIS, i que up for 1v1 matchmaking, and then i get cataclaw, N.o 1 as ostheer at that time, long story short, my -7 streak became my -8 streak.

The frustrating part is that i think i am getting unlucky. I started off around rank 2000 and now have dropped to 10000. I feel like i have gotten better during that stretch of defeats too. I became more used to hotkeys, control groups, and paying attention to my units.

Highest I've had was -9 when everyone in the top 50 was abusing the new gren small arms balance, and the Sovs couldn't do shit against extremely quick, massed LMGs. I being pushed into my base in a serious game by the 8 minute mark simply by how effective Grens are by Cataclaw hurts.

PS: I remember Cataclaw got a +75 streak with that patch -using the exact same teching and build order as the Ostheer every game- and then lost almost the first game with the new patch.

Spread out amongst the different factions, it's likely been -8 or so. The good thing is as you lose, you get matched against lesser opponents, so you're bound to win again soon.

I quit playing for the day/night when I feel tired, groggy, or unable to concentrate. I hate going to sleep after a loss. And it seems if I don't play for 2 or 3 days my play really suffers as I have to force myself to get back up to game speed.

I hit an awful one about three days ago of -5. Ruined the rest of my day at work.
