Bad luck ruining game experience

[Mr. Mundy]

I´m a spy main who´s plagued by bad luck. Today I was killed 7 times, of which once it was due to a bad timing/prediction. 6 of the deaths were caused by demomen spamming stickies everywhere, missed huntsman arrows and spamdiers. You see, I was cloaked, standing in a place where no spy usually stands and these lucky ♥♥♥♥s just always seem to randomly hit me ALL THE TIME. I have tried this with other classes aswell. Scout? No, I´m always getting quickscoped. Solly? No. I´ll always get owned by some platinum league soldier/scout who has 2-5 pocket medics. Pyro? I´ll degrease/axtinguishe the ♥♥♥♥ out of them, always a random crit is what finishes me off. Demo? A scout just runs past my stickytrap while I´m reloading my launchers, and scatterguns my face off before I even get a chance of detonating my stickies. Heavy? Dont get me started. Engi? Probably the only class I´m doing relatively well with until I switch class because noone is attacking and a lone ♥♥♥♥ing scout/spy comes and steals the intel/ Ill get ♥♥♥♥♥ by bonk scouts and stickyspammers. Medic? Hes a effing headshot magnet, I don´t even bother? Sniper? My namesake? Nah. Theres always a spy behind me. And whenever I´m the spy, the sniper magically sees me and quickscopes my face off/jaratechops me down. Spy? Random crits. Scouts running around. Snipers. Yes, even snipers are usually the cause of my death. Now a lack of skill is NOT the cause here. Everyone of my friends calls me a good spy. Whenever I´m in a game with them, they constantly watch their back. Trickstabs? No problem. Amby aim? Kinda good at that aswell. Overall acting? Good. I know all kinds of tricks, but they dont help when some pyro just randomly happens to check the corner I´m standing in, invisble. I try to run away. No, he flareguns me down. Nowadays I´m afraid of uncloaking, even when I´m standing behid their ENTIRE TEAM. Once a ♥♥♥♥ing F2P scout ran into an opposite direction from the BLU spawn in pl_badwater, I uncloak, hoping to get atleast 1 frag during the already awful round, (we were getting steamrolled) I´ll start aiming my amby and BAM. A random critted pretty boys pocket pistol. This lack of luck has driven me to the verge of insanity, and I´m thinking of quitting TF2 every day. It really sucks to have my bad luck ruin my favorite game.
I´m looking for similar experiences from the people of community. TL:DR A pretty skilled spy being plagued by bad luck. Hoping to get similar stories from the people of SPUF.

Okay.
Paragraphs exist for a reason.

[pp]

There is no such thing as luck in a fps. Even critical hits aren't based on luck. Its mostly based on your damage output so if you do a lot of damage in a certain amount of time, you'll most likely get a crit =3

You really should add paragraphs. I can't read your post, for example.

Sorry

If you're cloaked, in an uncommon spot, and know to move if someone decides to spycheck your area, then there's only one way you could be getting killed while cloaked. You're getting caught in crossfire. Be where your allies aren't.

Easier said than done, I know. Spy's one of my worst classes.

Otherwise, I notice you're getting quickscoped as a scout...? I'm not even that great of a scout, but I can't remember the last time I had trouble with a sniper. Zigzag.

RNGesus has deemed you...

unworthy.

Cloak and Dagger is a complete lifesaver for new Spies. Otherwise, git gud.

i had the same issue too.

one day,
i was playing vs some ultra badass top skilled brasilian HL sniper(powah/brasilianpowah)
and he destroyed me and my team.

he gets auto balanced to my team and yet we still lost!
not to mention. i was lossing alot that day. like constantly i even made a thread about it. but that was long ago.
and i looked it up his name and his steam profile. HE TRULY WAS THE REAL POWAH!

is normal to lose a round even if you were to be b4nny himself.
and i know that felling of ''somethink is wrong'' when you lose constantly or when you fell unefective to the team. good times and bad times. i fell you mundy.

if there is any advice i can give to you. calm down.
try again and you might be of great support for your team if you win a match.
or you should play a another game other than tf2 for atleast 1 day and come back later much more calm about it.

Try playing a different class. Spy isn't the greatest one to main.

I feel exactly the same way. only its worse. "dodging" or get "getting good" is based off skill, of which I have. however, what DOESN'T have anything to do with skill is random crits, and failstabs. one game, 20 kills 16 deaths. NINE of those deaths happened because of random crits, FOUR because of failstabs. and it completely OBLAITERATES my game experience as spy. and dont even get me started on walking around a corner as spy while cloaked and having the ENTIRE enemy team right there waiting for me. bad luck pushes pushes me away from my favorite game. making it to where half the games I play are just filled with anger. volvo pls ): nerf random crits and remove failstabs
