How to avoid Salty after losing?

Do you feel salty after losing especially lose to stupid strategies or players that have poor skills than you. Anyone has suggestions on How to avoid that? This is not only for myself, but for most people struggle on loving this game because of the bitterness in heart after losing. I do believe this is a common issue as most people rage quit or have no GG after losing.

Just dont play PvT as T…
I solved the problem for you

Can I interpret your suggestions as ‘ don’t play the game’ :nerd_face:

Not sure what you mean? ‘Don’t lose, keep winning’ is your answer, I think.

No reason to be salty about a game, you are playing, you are supposed to have fun, when I lose I’m not salty, just upset when I’m not able to stop silly strats, it’s totally my fault, so the only thing I can do is trying to stop it better the next time. I have played a fairly high amount of games, over 15k, so once you have several thousands of loses losing one more time it¡s nothing.
About the gg, I don’t know about others, but I usually leave with no gg and I’m not mad, I’m just used to leave asap and queue asap, do it for thousand of games and you won’t even think about gg, everything is automated.

Got it. So your answer is “don’t whine, don’t blame yourself but blame your opponents” after losing. Sounds reasonable🤪

This would be so true if PvT was actually fun. you know where both have a chance to win. As it is now. no fun.

complain on the forums of course.

Summary to your comments: Play more, have fun, take it ez. Sounds good :+1:

Speak out is always a good way to heal inner being. Nice suggestion :+1:

He’s completely wrong.

The healthiest attitudes toward the game are

  1. My race is the most skillful
  2. When I win, it’s skill. When I lose, it’s opponent’s OP race.
  3. When in doubt, always cry on forums.

I like the mindset, nice :nerd_face:

I was mean learn how to defend those weird strategies

Fun is subjective, I have fun playing TvP, I would like to play more TvP instead of so much TvT. Caring too much about wins is bad, care more about trying to improve while having fun, finding a good balance between being competitive and not being stressed.Last season I had a 27-12 tvp , current season 17-15, not a lot of games (because I play other races too), but as you can see, it’s pretty balanced, I’m not a TvP specialist or anything, I’m not good at anything, I just play the game, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, you always have a chance, and that chance can increase if you have the proper mindset and know your hability, for example, I’m bad at all inning and cheesing, so my gameplay is mostly mid-late oriented, trying to survive early on the best position possible, I do not try to play like Maru, I rarely drop, I focus on fairly big and decent fights.Defend,attack, retreat,replenish,defend, attack.

Yes, you can also watch Neuro’s YT channel, he has some interesting videos about dealing with tilts, being positive and stuff like that. Will link some of them later, they guy has a ton of videos and it’s pretty difficult to swin through all of them.

no its your fault if you lose and if it makes you salty grow up

It’s an extremely common issue, but contrary to most, you seem to be questioning yourself about it. So at the very least, you’ve got a shot at solving it.

In my case, what solved it was seeing how some quite poised players dealt with it. Seeing Polt cheerfully go for his « GG ! » even in defeat, regardless of the match-up, and then immediately rewinding the replay and starting to think about what he could’ve done to avoid it opened my eyes :

  • Raging is defeat in defeat, because you also failed in maintaining self control, and mental is a part of a player’s abilities
  • Whining doesn’t helps you in improving your skills as a player

On the contrary, if you do GG you admit that your mistakes led to a game lost in due form, and so that there are mistakes that you could search and fix. And so, little by little, understanding why you lost becomes more important than raging.

So, and even though I might add some comment with it, I do GG everytime now. :wink:

only some of them, he has a lot.

edit: One thing more, watching your replays and pro VODs can help you to understand the game, seeing your mistakes and enemy’s mistakes more easily, if you can see them, you will have something to improve instead of just saying ‘‘this is imba’’,‘‘this enemy is bad but he won’’, a lot of times some players raged at me, watched the replay and was mostly them getting into a position in which it was pretty impossible to win, something like being really behind in upgrades, not enough eco to sustain the composition or a macro game…

I will remember a Polt game, lategame TvZ, Z went hidra ling bane, Polt lost in some mid game engage, instead of whinning about being zerged, he went to the replay and came to the conclussion he had -3 tanks in that combat, tanks that would have been really helpful and probably would have changed the outcome of the battle, it was not something easy to see because his tank number was apparently healthy,around 4-5, but in the end it wasn’t enough.
