Always randoms. Don't actually know anyone who plays, outside of this thread. I only ever play doubles anyway, so there's only one teammate to worry about, but even so I've never gone five hours without a win before. That simply shouldn't ever happen.
And it wasn't just bad teammates, although there were quite a few, I'd lose overtime games on ridiculously fluky deflections or time would expire with the ball heading into the other team's goal...I had one game against a team that must have just started and not been promoted out of Prospect yet, because they were way above my level. Played my ass off, had it 2-2 with two seconds to go, and they snuck one in. My teammate in that one was alright - probably around my ability level although didn't play as well as I did in that particular game (but neither do I most of the time). Which is particularly frustrating, it's one of the best games I've ever played and I still got beat.
I mean, in different circumstances I'd probably say it was just a shame we lost, they played better, it was a cracking game, but when you're on a losing run like that they all grate so much more than they usually would.
