yesterday I could do nothing wrong, today I can do nothing right.

I run around a corner on caustic today and made it right into the middle of the red team. I think they were more then a little surprised because for about 2 seconds no one shot at me even with the challenge going on. Maybe they just felt bad about my choices in that match.

Regardless though I'm up 35 points, about 25 last night and only 10 in the same amount of time today. For those who are frustrated with a long losing skid I know your pain.

Here is what I am thinking about as I sit on this losing skid. I used to be a pretty poor player. Bad mech design, bad placement, bad aim, bad choices. It was all bad. I took a break for a few months and come back. I discovered some good builds for the hunchbacks, watched some players on twitch for some knowledge and changed my control setup. Suddenly I'm doing some damage. I'm killing some mechs. I am actually doing things to help my team win instead of my team winning in spite of me. Feels good.

So maybe its just the beer talking but here is a tip to all the frustrated out there. Take a break. Do something else for a bit, what ever it is that is cool for you. And when you come back to MWO try something different then what you were doing before. I am a case in point of me being the cause of my own losing streaks as is likley the majority of us.
