Coming back to FA after a break?

[Flynn]

Okay, had maybe a month off due to real life stuff getting in the way (I know I shouldn't have let it ) and as a result of that I seem to have become a friggin' punch bag for players half my rating. I'm not even kidding last night I recorded two loses one to an 800 and one to a 600. This was just last night as well, I have been playing sporadically over the last couple of weeks and I have been regularly loosing to players who are at least a couple hundred points lower. One thing I had noticed before my break is that the quality of n00b seems to be getting a lot better, but that is not an excuse for me since I was beating 1600-1700 players at the height of my skill a few months ago. My rating has suffered as a result down from 1535 to 1476 at the time of posting. Here is my skill graph:

As you can see a huge downfall from where I was. Any tips/tricks?

Practice, you get get out of a rut unless you you play.

You seen quite concerned about your rating as well, which is pretty understandable, try playing some more unranked games with friends or random people in order to take some of the pressure off yourself.


Good luck

Trying to get back into it. Nowhere near where I once was. Having to relearn the basics. Getting too frustrated with it

Keep in mind that when you play Ladder 1v1 the displayed rating is the player's ladder rating, not global rating. There is a wide difference between these two figures for many players, who play a lot of team / regular games but few ladder matches.

For example, I played SirA (and won!! ) in ladder yesterday. His rating in the Ladder was 940 (mine is ~900) but his global rating is ~1450 (mine is ~1250).

So don't be too worried if a Ladder rating 800 (or 600 ) player beats you, their Global rating may be much higher.

Like any other "competitive" rts , FA needs continuos play to mantain your skill level.

It's just a matter of time but don't get too worried about your rating.

OR simply play unranked 1v1's like i mostly do.
