To be honest you were losing consistently the whole game, he was floating hard and building caches yet still dominating the map. At the point this suppression happens you have << than half his popcap, no map. This ability hitting your troops in base had no bearing on your ability to type /l. |
As someone who's currently at lvl 12/13ish I agree with the other posters, there's no need to be stuckon the meta. The way I see it is if I were to follow the meta and strongest strats/builds strictly then I'd probably do a little better, and maybe settle a level higher than currently, then the matchmaking would even it out. I would rather be ranked a little bit lower and have more fun being free with builds.
A lot of your opponents at these levels will be following meta with no flexibility in response to you which makes them predictable. And when you lose games at this level, like has been said, it's not that you need to necessarily optimise builds but rather just take better engagements and micro better. |
