Time for a Break

Dare to be Optimistic
To start off this post I would like to say Thanks to the 39s who have been awesome and for the most part this bracket has been the most fun I have had for the last couple of months but at the same time It has been the cause for the most frustration.

Anyone who has gotten the chance to know me knows that I'm rather critical on myself. Im my worse critic. In that same regard I also consider myself a consistent mediocre player. I feel I am far from a top notch player.

Ever since 5.2 I have been putting the blame of Alliance always loosing due to the fact that Horde has consistently rocking a Prot Warrior FC. Which in turn destroys any kind of Offense we could put together due to the fact that the FC and two healers could easily take on a strong offense. But now I cant help but feel that is just an excuse.

So with that said now lets get to the point. for the past couple of weeks (since 5.2) I personally haven't won a single game but that isn't the reason for my actions. 2 weeks ago I expressed on vent that I was really getting frustrated mainly for the fact that I cant preform. Yoube being awesome suggested I stick it out games should balance out and get better. Now games have gotten better but with the absence of myself which in result has killed my morale. Alliance was winning this pass week, but every game they won I was not in them.

Which leads my very critical self to direct the blame towards me, I know that there is no I in team but a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Everytime when I was playing It was obvious that we needed something. Wether it be communication (which Ive never been a vocal player, Quick to respond and act to orders but not to put them out), not enough dps, a actual FC. So I would hop around to try and help the team to find myself really not preforming as well as Other players on my team.

Now I am a okay player, I don't do anything that I don't believe I can do to a point, of course there is people better than me but I cant help but feel my gameplay these past couple of weeks is just sloppy and kind of depressing, Huge mistakes and just not preforming up to the caliber. In a result I just haven't been having fun with with 39s, which is the point of the game right?

Now I know I haven't been playing 39s for long (started at the beginning of Feb) but I feel I need to take a break from the bracket.
 
Really happy for ya bro and I really would suggest you to keep pushing to get geared the bracket is really great. Its just a personal vendetta to take a break and get a clear mind.
 
Well I have yet to play with you. I been busy with f2p,39s,24s. I wish you well. I had my guild roll alliance due to games being challenging. I told all Guildes we'd be under geared compared to grandfather twinks and we might lose a lot but we decide to do it. Cuase I was told the bracket needed alliance. I was happy to hear there were 2 games rolling on Friday and until 12. Thats What i was told.
 
I believe Alliance has performed much better Friday for two reason.

The first of which is we had better people in q and some horde switched sides. Riddle is brushing of the year or so of rust, Loli laying down the pally hammer, Nerro playing one hell of a Monk FC, etc... Hell, up until this alliance losing streak I had spent so much time on the monk I try and roll away from people on my Shammy every now and then. No one is without faults or has no room for improvement.

The second I believe is that a lot of the new people are starting to adjust (and some first timers just flat out playing well). Every bracket whether it be 19s or 90s has a learning curve. Games are played differently, people interact differently, and expectations are different. There were a few faces that I noticed a marked improvement in their play from 2 or 3 weeks ago.

There is still a gaping hole of an issue as far as coordination and in some cases base understanding, but this is to be expected. Not to say I was not dangerously close to some break down moments, but instead I went a smoked a cig, grabbed a beer, or re-read a comment 5 times before speaking/posting. In all honesty perfect CC, focus/calls, etc... is not 100% necessary or to be expected. These are after all pugs, but given the brackets history and availability of vent, the caliber of games can and should be much higher.

I would not put too much weight on one night of alliance not getting obliterated every game though. There is a lot of room for improvement. You should not feel personally responsible for the way things have or have not unfolded. I told you in vent and I will reiterate it here. I feel you have been a very positive addition to the bracket and I hate to see you get so down on yourself. If I could I would smack you upside the head and tell ya to man the F up!! However, if you need a break, F-ing take it. No need, to get overly stressed by this game we all enjoy (for the most part anyway). The bracket will be here when ya get back. If you want to do arenas some night just let me know. So long as I am not pretending to keep leveling to 90 I will try and get them running.
 
Khaos, while we've only played a few games together, I have enough experience in BGs to know that your performance makes a far greater contribution than whatever obstacles your errors may pose. A break can help you clear your head, and if that's what you need, then by all means, take one. But your absence will leave a hole in 39s, and even (or especially) a player like myself who attends few 39 games knows the truth of this.

You can be hard on yourself, and good, driven players always are. But remain fair with yourself, because your teammates need you to give yourself room to grow.

Lest my language get excessively multisyllabic, let me be clear: you're a damn fine player. Do what you need to do, and your return will be a privilege for 39s.
 
its time to take a break from the 19 bracket as well
 
Major Props to Rise and Yoube. When I say Break its nothing serious, Just need to clear my head, pick up on things I am doing wrong and stick to my guns and improve just need to lick my wounds and figure where my faults are :)
 
Id be glad to set up duels or arenas with you and give you some pointers. If you were a shitty player i would have told you so by now( closest thing youll get to a compliment out of this asshole)

Khaos, i havnt played much with you. I 100% understand where you are comming from.

But i my personall past experiances. When things are looking down and you keep doing bad 1 game after another. Try not to be to hard on yourself, do you know why....?

Its because if you keep persisting and always stay positive you will eventually WILL win games, and you WILL become a better player. By stopping its not making you any better but in fact you will lose skill to what you already have. If you keep aspiring to learn and become better you will, Its that simple.

But mate im not saying for you to keep playing, im just saying IMO the best way to becoming better is to push through the bad times until you get to the good. Think of it as a challenge that has been put out infront of you (like a wall) and in order to be victorious you need to break the wall down. It may not work the first hit or the second but eventually the wall will fall.

Best of luck.

rest the brain from all the 39 info you have been cramming, then when you return things will flow a bit better.
 
So Im pretty sure I will que one or two games tonight and see how I feel. I did miss 39s on wednesday. Not completely sure tho.
 
No one likes a quitter. Reach down and squeeze to be sure you have a pair. God's blood man read the quote in your own sig.

Naw just kiddin' - a break is perfectly cromulent... this GAME should be fun and not stressful.
 
Hope to see you back up on your feet and running with 39's again soon take a much deserved brake if you need one, clearing your head can do wonders and in the end you end up finding a few things you can inprove on every time you play thus making you a great player in the end!
Hope to see you in some games tonight before you take your brake bro.

awe!!!! thank you gameking

I played last night the games I got into that didnt have the 8 man prot warrior team were pretty good. One thing I have learned about Holy Pallies I need to get away from so much crit and focus on Haste. There has been a influx of Holy Pallies playing lately and all of them have been rocking Haste over Crit. And all of them have been healing and doing more damage than me. Now I know the meters dont mean much in a game about skill. But maybe I need to try some different sets and see how they feel :)

Also on a side note I came to a conclusion as to part of why I really needed to take a break. No offense to you veteran twinks. But just because you have been playing this bracket longer doesn't means you know best. I tried voicing an opinion last night to get down right told I was wrong. Yet I had multiple people whisper me threw Btag expressing they felt the same way. I cant help but think alot of us new players are getting intimidated from the more seasoned players and it is effecting game play. Now I know alot of Old School 39s dont use Twink Info but I am just kind of ranting.
