DepressedCraft

Blizzard made me depressed.

Here I was, helping them to beta test HotS, when I clicked somewhere I’d never clicked before. My profile. What I saw there shocked me, brought me through the various stages of denial, ultimately ending with depression.

They showed me the total number of games played, 90. So far so good. But then they also showed me how many games I won, 40. The bastards!

For I am trained in arithmetic. My brain couldn’t help but subtracting the latter from the former. I had lost 50 games! Blizzard, is this your subtle way of insulting me? I am a delicate flower, who plays SC2 for the escape, for the fantasy. I do not play to do math and to relive the horror of losing a StarCraft game. But to multiply that loss fifty times over! Shame on you!

What’s worse, I’m also trained in ratios and fractions. I can’t help but now have the knowledge that I’ve only won 44% of the time, despite my best efforts! Woe is me! I’m a failure at the one thing I ever loved …

Or maybe I slice my sarcasm too thick, and Blizzard could treat us all like the adults, average aged 35, big boys that we are, save us the math, and post the meaningful statistics right there in the UI.
